so far... i am appointed to be in-charged of the school basketball team *gosh*. Then me and my colleague need to do the organisation chart of the school staff. Then i might need to be the Guru PEKA to work out the Science PEKA stuff. Then the school might put me in-charge of the library. Then i don't know what else will come.
First week of school has been good. and yay, tomorrow is friday! ;)
The students here are generally well-behaved, so there's not much discipline problem. Partly because the students are not very exposed to the world outside. Their routine is a killer. No TV, no internet, outing once a month, wake up at 4.30am, daily assembly at 6, class from 6.45 am to 1.35pm, lunch, afternoon study time, evening exercise, dinner, night study time, supper, then tidur. And the cycle repeats itself.
The main problem is teaching them Science and Bio in English. Half of the time, if not most, i need to repeat using my super limited BM. Here we can't do all the canggih-manggih ICT stuff as often as we want to. Everything is like my good old school days. Marker pen and talk.
i enjoyed teaching the form 2 class. Form 3 classes are ok, but i should go slower. Form 4, language is definitely a problem and i am trying to figure out how else to teach them, have to work on how to explain better. The good thing about the students here --- they don't act like as if they know everything, and they are waiting for you to teach them things. And that's a reward in itself.
i'm already in the shutting down mode.
i got only 2 periods tomorrow.
and here comes the weekend.
and the spring-cleaning. stupid lizards are annoying. they like to lepak at the ceiling in my room. cis, and poo on my bed like dropping some atomic bombs. the ants are still kings and queens at my place. the cockroaches pay their visit every now and then. the spiders are the landlords. and the swallows have made my flat their Gua Niah or Gua Tempurung, their faeces is like a red carpet all the way down from my floor to the ground floor. Discovered the only English radio station which Traxx fm. TV - nothing to watch but snowflakes while listening to the conversation.
ok. i told you i'm in the shutting down mode.

I think sometimes the simpler life (read: marker pen and talk) is the better life, and not just because Ken Rockwell says so!
Was talking to the ecology Shannon about how LCD systems in UM classrooms are unreliable, and how, if ever I should lecture someday, I will prepare OHP transparencies.
He said, "Better still: use marker pen."
;-)
(p.s. the word verification below reads 'ovidise'. I like!)
