After getting my beauty sleep, I went out with my usual gang - hui, eng, ren. We went to tong shui cafe for the thick toast and desserts. The mango pomelo dessert is so nice and refreshing. Thank you gals for all the chit chat, makan and laughters. It somehow made me feel that regardless how some idiots tryig to put me down, I still have you gals to hold me up. Thanks alot!
After we parted, karen and I had an sudden decision to go n find xiao wang at pwp. Is more of my idea lah cos I dun want to go back so early. Usual ah, meet xiao wang and the level 3 gang then we headed off for some supper and more chit chat and laughters.
Glad that the guys n Karen were so 'on' to entertain me regardless that they are all tired after work. Thanks! Pardon my selfish act ah. But I really need the familiar "noise" around me to hold me up and going. Esp that particular some1... I felt so bad to turn to you whenever I faced problems. I know is unfair to you. Sorry for being so selfish. I'll try my best to share happiness with you more than sorrows. Promise!
After a long day, I felt so tired. Whole day of acting in front of others and tryig hard to cheer myself up... Next I need to rearrange myself and go back to my usual self. How long and how much energy will I need this time round? I dunno... I'm already superly tired.
I think everyone of you r sick of hearing things related to the idiot and me. Well... I sick of it too. But I'll try my best cos I promise ah eng to let her c my signature laughing icon again. And also for the sake of all those that love me, I will be happy again. I will not let that idiot ruin my life.
Conclusion: Hey Idiot, will you get your own life and leave me alone?

I had formally took over the lessons today. Very 1 lesson only...... BUANG already!
I conduct group work for the class. The activity is each student bring a story book then within the group, they are to choose 1 and present on what is the book about and why the group choose it.
Miss Peck try to be diplomatic and let them choose their own group members... WRONG MOVE ah.... Fight broke off cos 2 groups wanted the same girl in their groups and got 1 poor boy, nobody wants him in their group. *faint*
Just as settled this and... Round 2 FIGHT! Another group started another fight cos all the group members choose girl A's book and not girl B's so girl B get angry and refused to do their work. When i went over and try to settle it... 7 ppl all talk at the same time.... (mei mei, your constant practice of "TEACHER! TEACHER! TEACHER"... now is really in full act le) I nearly faint and just said... "I want you all to do your work quietly and finish it byt the end of the lesson" I know very bad management... but i really dunno what to do...
WORST OF ALL........
I scolded this boy (N) for not paying attention then after lesson, i realised is not his fault. (Every class got 1 KPO king/queen rem?) In fact he was trying to be kind to me. The story is another boy (J) is not paying attention and N was asking him to stop playing... in the end i only caught N talking instead of J playing... I felt so bad.... tmr Miss Peck is gg to apologise to N...
Conclusion: I had flop my lesson and I better buck up! If not.... Hui, you prefer apples or oranges when i visit you?

An incident happened yday that made me nearly use vuglarity in school... Luckily Miss Peck endurance level is higher now. Here goes the story...
I was asked to do relief for a P6 class. This is such a "small" school and I can't find the class. Aga Aga that it should be ard that area, I estimated and popped my head into this class and asked
Me: It this 6*?
Boys in the class: NO!!!!
Me: ok sorry... (and I walked away)
(Voice from behind) A malay girl shouted: "Teacher! Teacher!" so I turned ard. "They bluffed you 1. This class is 6*." In my heart, #@&$@*#$^!)&@$(^%^$%)@#$!#!
I stepped into the class and they are supposed to do spelling. So I started giving them spelling. As i read the phrases....
The *^@^ Boy: Teacher, Repeat again? (I said like 5X per phrase that makes me wonder my tongue got problem or his ears got problem) the word got -ed anot? ending with s? what is the 1st letter? hint leh...
Me: You want me to write for you instead?
The *^@^ Boy: (handing his book to me) Can Can...
Me: (%*$%&@#%! Take a deep breathe and....) You hold on 1st, after school i'll go through every single spelling word with you then I'll write for you. (there is a total of 50 phrases in the list)
The *^@^ Boy: Sorry teacher... joking lah...
OMG! Y kids nowadays so knn 1? Is this a retribution for all the nasty things that i had done to my teachers when i'm a student?
Next week onwards I'm gg to start my formal teaching already. A bit nervous cos dunno if i can handle the class. My P4 kids are so "friend" with me now that I started to worry bout whether I can control them... wish me good luck ba...
Off to prepare my lessons

Time really fly pass so quickly... I had completed 2 weeks of my TA and now got another 3 weeks to go. Somehow I hope that I can stay longer in the school as my students are soooo cuteeeee! So far I enjoyed what I'm doing and looking forward to go to school everyday.
Kids are so innocent and simple. They are more direct in showing their appreciation towards others. That gave me lots of satisfaction. In return to my students, I'll try my best to plan interesting lessons and... Miss Peck promised to learn up my spelling so that you all dont have to wait for me to scribble 6 possibilities before telling you all how to spell "N.E.I.G.H.B.O.U.R.S" ok?
More stories to share....
Our Lil' SecretMalay Boy came up to me and whisper to me...
Malay Boy: Miss Peck, I just quit my buddy reading.
Me: Y?
Malay Boy: Cos I dun like to read to the P1 students... so boring
Me: So you told the teacher in charge?
Malay Boy: I told him that I got CCA
Me: Orrrhhhh... you tell lie!
Malay Boy: Shh... Dun tell anyone ok?
Not so funny jokeFat Boy: Can I tell you a joke?
Me: (pengsan! but I fake a smile) ok sure
Fat Boy: blah blah blah... (lasted for bout 5mins... yawn and most imptly is NOT FUNNY at all and to make it WORST... the so-called joke is from their textbook)
Me: (Finally he had finished and I squeezed out a smile) Thank you very much, your joke make my day. Now go for your recess... (phew! finally get rid of him)
Eraser WarThere is a trend of students playing this game using eraser. Didn't know this game is still on going since my time. That type tat you use the eraser that have flag of different countries, then you try to flip n push it with your fingers. Once it stack over the opponent's eraser, you win. OMG!
Do you miss your fren?The playful boy, SJ from my class had been absent for 2days. Out of boredom, I asked the cute boy sitting next to SJ.
Me: Do you miss SJ? He is not here for so many days
Cute Boy: Actually I prefer him not to be around.
Me: Huh?
Cute Boy: nothing... nothing...
a moment of silence
Cute Boy: actually sometimes if SJ is around then got ppl talk and play with me
Me: (turn and look at him)
Cute Boy: Aiyah... I also don't know.
Conclusion: Everything comes in a package... Cute students + lesson plans for 44 periods...
