This whole week has been filled with meetings and basketball trainings in the afternoon. The training - so far so good, I go there to oversee je, since I still don't know much about training people for basketball competition bah.. sheeeshh
Classes -- it's quite tough to teach the kids bio because language is really a problem to them. I let them tried some objective questions and the best score was 20 out of 35 correct, which is actually quite low. Maths - alright, i think i did go too fast in some parts and therefore i am now slowing down and preparing them for the Feb test. Science - boleh tahan la, although one of the classes is a bit slow but still can cope. The principal will be coming in to observe me teaching next friday. adui. and then have to be observed by ketua panita and ketua bidang for all the subjects i teach. *pengsan*
This weekend i am going to cook pasta again. My housemate and i actually came out with a menu.. well, soon i can open a restaurant. :p bought some cockroach-lizard traps and it worked. A lizard was trapped and the ants that come after the dead lizard were also trapped coz' it works like the fly paper. They are stuck on the trap.. *sticky sticky*
Had a mini discussion with my form 4 kids on 'what does it mean to be successful'. One boy mentioned 'Beriman' and that sparked off this verse on my mind and i wrote it on the board.
What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
and this verse really got them thinking.
including me.

Thanks for the verse - got me thinking too. Oh, reading your ketua bidangs/ketua panitia/maths&science/principal observe...sounds like the lingo at my dining table at home =P
Hey Jia Hui,
Thanks for the verse. I think it's things like this that bring meaning to classroom sessions, and I thank God for the God-fearing teachers I've had over the years, not all of whom were necessarily Christians.
BTW, I think 20 out of 35 is not that low; maybe by our standards, but it could be worse, like single-digit marks. So yeah.
Oh, and your room really sounds like the kind of place National Geographic can film a special. Maybe I should do some bug-hunting when I come visit you.
And yes, the Jul/Aug Sabah trip is still in the wings.
