Finally completed my reflection given by my VP and just email to her. Now back to Journal writing, although I bring back a stack of science remediation worksheets to be marked, computed and entered the number of pupils who got that particular question correct. Count down to my school SA2 for Primary 3, left 17 days more. And I am still lacking with 3 more chapters for Maths. English almost completed. For Science, I am still lacking with 2 more chapters (Plant parts and Magnets). I believe the topic on Magnets, pupils should understand since the trip to the Science Centre for their Enrichment classes conducted by a trainer. Count down to my birthday celebration, left 10 days more. My mum has booked the Hi-Tea buffet for me and I have messaged almost all my friends who I would like to invite. Hopefully I din miss out any friends. Count down to my actual birthday, left 13 days more. A joyous Occasion for me! Mayb my pupils will be celebrating for me. Cos they asked me for permission to have a birthday party for me in class but I forbid it for the time being. All bcos of the syllabus and the need to complete. Count down to my new car. Dunno if Alan and I can get our car by this Saturday or latest next week. Hehe....Got lotsa of ideas where we are going after we got our car. Count down to my honeymoon this December. Count down to my sleep now... 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 . . . . . Zzzzzzzzz.... Dialogue Brenda: Cya Blogger! Muakz! Going to meet Zou Gong and my wonderful dreams! Blogger: Go and sleep la! Don't sleep too late. A person needs to have at least 8 hours of sleep a day. Brenda: OK! no worries! I wun bother u le. Blogger: I am too tired to listen to u. Brenda: Sama-Sama! I will shut you down and zip your mouth! Hahaha!!!!! Blogger: Wei! WEI! NO RESPONSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ||12:18 AM||

P.S: Bcos of my precious sleep, I have to end here...If not, tml too tired again! The only happy thing: [I am happy to receive the msg from my hubby that our car plate number is out le. To me, our car plate number seemed very easy to remember. Car plate number is SGL 6786 E. To us, this means "SinGapore Lovers 6786 Excellent/Everlasting" It does symbolise something unique for the two of us. Ok for now!] Sad thingy come a whole long stretch... First started with me waking up so early and so looking lerthagic. Next have to reach school at around 8am to mark the books and got real angry when most of my pupils just hack care on their work. Show untidyness and do not bother at all wen i am panicky for their coming SA2. What can I do? Simply have to re-teach again at the expense of my anger. What to do? I am borned to a teacher. I guess so. So I need to treasure my profession and withstand all frustration and unhappiness. Secondly, I have to bring them to Science Centre. Then this girl, Jolynn overslept and kept calling me over my hp. Saying that she wanted to join the class when the bus had already left the school for Science Centre. She told me that she wanted to come down. I told her to stay at home and there was no need for her to join us since the school bus had left. But she insisted. Then when she reached school, she called me once again. This time, we were having science enrichment lesson in Science Centre. And over the phone, she said she would be coming down to Science Centre with her daddy. And you know what, she told me that was her father who forces her to come down. Who knows if she lied? I think it must have been her who want to come for the excursion. If it was her parent, they will wake her up punctually and she wud not be late. Dare to tell lies to me. Anyway I let the matter rest. Thirdly, in class I had only a few periods of lesson today. Hopefully to complete the lesson that I had spent lots of efforts to plan over the weekends. Sacrificing my weekend for my pupils' study, dunno if it was worth it anot? Then I got a whole mountain of worksheets brought over from other classes. I think the clerk had jus finished zapping a lotsa of worksheets. It really drove me crazy. Pile on my table even almost wan to topple over. My pupils all watched with goldfish eyes. Stun me too with my mouth open wide. Really demoralised me, but I jus told my pupils. We do not care about the worksheets, is the understanding that is more important. Worse come to worse, I dun give them the worksheets and I need to see results from them. But sometimes I cannot believe that I am wasting papers. But I will still force them to do. Sometimes hard work will give results de. Fourth, my class is the first to leave the class and the first line in queue. Then other classes come along and all jump queue... I stop my class from going off, be more gentleman to give way to other teachers who wan to jump queue and wan send their pupils to the gate first. You know how I feel. Worse lor. So tired and still trying to act I am so kind to all. Dunno why I have such a nice heart and got bully by other teachers. So I let other classes go off first. Anyway oso good to stay my class back a bit longer as a punishment to them.....(think on the good side!) Fifth, Got to do my EPMS (work review) and somemore tmr got level meeting. And I was feeling so sick now to talk about anything. Jus wana leave something here and continue next time. YOU KNOW why I dun seldom write here le....cos BUSY LOR>..wat to do? work like a WATERFALL...kip on coming, cannot resist it! ya! not to forget...a lot of ppls jus msg me today that they dun come for my birthday...tat upsets me the most. After all the planning of ordering the hi-tea buffet, my birthday cake and even buy a new dress for my birthday. SO sad! And I msg a lot of ppls wen it was supposed to be my REST time. Forever, Bubbly Brenda :) Note: Everything recorded here [except the happy thing] will be forgotten once I wake up for a fresh new day. ||10:53 PM||

I was back in maple the moment I came home from dinner. I had my dinner with Alan at Jack's Place today. It was so coincidence that I met my West View Pupils there.

Blame me lor, dun go in maple to train at all. stuck at level 74 for how many months liao - perhaps half a year also not sure, or even 1 year. I was just a lazybum. Congrats myself for leveling haha...amazingly after all my backaches. It is time for me to sleep nw! Bye Blogger! ____ ..... _____ (___::.....::____) Cute little plaster!

 Sad to hear from the news today. That's a scholar guy pushed his gf down the MRT track. How can he do such a thing to his beloved? He should not have resorted to the crime even if it is merely a break-up. What is really wrong with his mind? Luckily, that his gf survived the ordeal. His gf has a quick reflexes to save her own life. I believe that she must have a different perspectives and hope for a new beginning. Sometimes this make me wonder if guys really treasures their girlfriends.

This Poem was written to let out some of my frustration. I live far from my family, and often times feel alone. I get angry for being so far away, yet there is really nothing I can do to remedy it. This poem mainly states all the feelings you go through, the feelings you feel, when you think you cannot feel anymore. Lost by Kaunie Hagensen Confusion Anxiety Anger and Pain Despair Hatred Isn't it all the same? Turmoil Anguish Pity and Revenge Spurn Condemn When is it going to end? Loneliness Heart ache Must I be disturbed? Desolate Forlorn Will I always be alone? From: Brenda ||11:00 PM||

Dearest blogger, My usual routine came back again. Sit in front of the computer, browsing through websites - checking emails, finding materials or resources, play mini games. Then I am waiting now for my husband to come back from his jog. As usual, I will be going with him to makan at bukit panjang plaza. Today I suggest we can eat at Jack Place and the treat will be on me. Just dun wish to mention my teaching in 3D class. Tired of mentioning. Sometimes really demoralising. Haiz KK. Tonight I got to enjoy my TV show. Cos I finished writing my minutes for contact time. And yesterday I finished at 12am and sent to my VP to vet through. Only me, Brenda ||7:33 PM||

I am back again. This time to lodge complaint of school management system that it is not fair. Next year, I am teaching back my current class. Today, I just get to know from the contact time that we will be having a 2-years cycle. So it means that next year I am taking Primary 4 and the same class. Oh my god! I will be getting back some rascals, especially the talkative and disruptive - Mubaraq, not handling up tons of work and telling lies - Ashraf, not paying attention and always engages in irrelevant topics - Rex and Jolynn. You know lor. I am fresh new teacher. And I am feeling like I am thrown into a cauldron, facing these hyperactive kids. Other teachers got better classes than mine. So sad! How I wish I can rest for a year. BUT, now I am trying to make myself feel better, giving myself better excuses. I think they do these because we have already better rapport with our class and know their problems at fingertips. All we need to do is to better ourselves in classroom management and focus more into their studies. Mayb they stick with me for 2 years, there mayb tremendous improvements in their work. Haha. Who knows? Then today I find myself filled with so much things to do, ranging from minutes taking, marking books, vetting SA2 papers, issuing consent forms for science centre excursion, looking for TA to register my token and of course, one more things which I dun have the time to do. Find Mdm Poh to get a new CCA. Haiz. Wan to get more days of MC oso cannot. Cos I cannot be so irresponsible and skip my work. That day attends my BT course and the relief teacher marks the math worksheet with my class. All done so terribly and he jus mark a tick or cross for the problem sums, never even give method mark for the working they done correct. All in a mess and I have to explain to pupils. Find myself very lerthargic, jus to teach for a few months nia. Another matter is the preparation for the children's day concert. The time draws near and I am put in charge for the afternoon session. Sianzation! And I have to stage 2 performances, one with the new teacher. Tml all of us will be down for discussion. Another is a swordplay performance, which I will do it with my P3 level. We are learning how to use the sword in different stances. Hehe!!! After all the voicing out, much more relax. AHHHHhhhhhh~~! Feeling beta!

Today is meant to be a resting day for both Alan and I. We slack at home by sleeping until almost 12pm. Then we have our breakfast downstairs at Senja Grand. Hehe...I happen to mit my westvps pupil, Temmie. I supposed that she looks surprised when she sees me. Cos I looks so casual in my dressing. I jus wear a pink mini short and matching white top with a pink flip-flop. I somehow feel that I am so haggard-looking cos I din comb my hair and just hope to have a quick breakfast with my hubby. After the breakfast, it is around 1pm. So I supposed that the one we have is not entirely breakfast. Is more of a brunch (Breakfast cum lunch) ? Off we went home for our favorite show (Ch 56) - The magician of love. I have finished the whole series of the show. But I am still cling on to the show. Hoping to revive my addictive feeling again. hehe... Then now I am sitted in front of the computer, surfing internet by browsing thru my blog and updates my blog together with my hubby. We are so bo liao. I believe a lot of u will feel so. But it's ok. As long as we feel happy doing it, we wun mind what others think of us. Am I right, hubby? Another thing is that my hubby called the cleaning lady to come our house to clean our windows for us and he will paid her according to the hours. Whew! One less housework to do. Spared me from that...hehee...Nice of my hubby! Now I am going to start my lesson plan and hope to do the final editing before I sent to my Reporting officier. k? Cheerios, dolp aka omg (dolphinslove aka oh my god) Brenda ||3:27 PM||

I would like to complain that my salary now sucks man. The growth package - salary increment only applies to the new teachers who are graduating soon and not us. Not fair! I would like to complain about the coming Monday which I need to attend the classroom management course. And I have to be absent from class which means my class will be laggin in syllabus. And wen I am back, I nid to rush syllabus and u know lor. If you go too quick for the topic, my pupils will be blur and do not understand a single thingy. So bo bian! I nid to make sure they know it. And hopefully I dun fall sick, nid to pass this tough stage even though it is not possible. I believed that I would be able to do it. That's me, Brenda! Only Brenda is capable of doing this thing. Haha! Trying to boost my morale. Geezzzz... I would like to complain of the time I spent with my hubby. Less and less time. Cos my hubby says being a teacher is a commitment to school at all times. And even at home, he sees me doing work and even asleep, I can dream of work. Work! Work! Work! When will this thingy end? I would like to complain that I hate doing housework. So many thingy to do and my hubby oso being doing so many housework. What to do? No maid! And do I look like Tai-Tai? Ridiculous! I dun earn that much to enjoy a life of a Tai-Tai. Believe it anot is all up to u! Dun ever ask me, who cares! So many complaints! I think blogger is mad at me le. K la! I will stop here. All right? ||1:55 AM||

Dear blogger, Today I have a wonderful and splendid evening with my Hi-5 gang. Before I talked about that, let me mention about my trip to skinlab. I have asked Alan to accompany me to skinlab cos there will be free trial and I would be able to take up one of the package which I am very enthusiastic about it. I want to take up the package on hair removal under my armpits. But alas! You would be surprised to know that I am so scared of pain. The I2PL has caused me stinging and unbearable pain. Like what my fren and alan have said, I have zero tolerance level. I am forced to believe it now. That session leaves a deep impression in my heart. Before that, I even went to have a try on the body contouring. And this actually goes thru 3 stages. At first, I thought that it is a painless thingy and decides to change my decision after I go through the first 2 stages. Then it comes the 3rd stage which they vacuum the fats in my tummy. I hate my fats in me because of its stubbornness. That is why I felt the dragging of the machine on my tummy and the pain felt like "you are trying to remove your hands stuck together with super glue". I can still recall the incident. But after all, it is over le. Thinking of that, it is really very embarassing and awkward situation. Hopefully, I dun put Shannon and Jennifer in difficult spot. But seriously, I am not interested in the facial products of skinlab. Cos currently I am indulged in my own skin care products which is dermatics. I am only interested in hair removal in skinlab but after the free trial, do you think I dare to think about it in future. Absolutely NO! After the conversation among Alan, Jennifer, Shannon and I, Alan and I left the place and we go shopping at Border and Isetan until about 7pm. Then Alan has to mit his guy frens and I have to mit my Hi-5 gal buddies. We both coincidentally mit our frens at Orchard MRT station ctrl. And do you believe we actually mit our frens at 7pm. Wa! Same time and same spot! Then I saw my frens and join them to chat. And I left Alan with his fren. It is oso nice of Alan to come forward and say 'Hi' to my frens. Then he left to join his group of frens. The threesome (Edna, Karen and I) made our way to find a spot for our dinner. We din walk far and settle in 'Pizza Walker' and we started ordering our food before the arrival of our 2 frens. I have pasta while they two have pizzas. Edna and I have our desserts as chocolate cake too. It is very sinful but we still go ahead with it. Time passed... One of my Hi-5 gang, Jennifer arrived with her fren. Jennifer sat for around 10 minutes with a short chit-chat session and bid goodbye to us. Haiz, one person down le! What to do? We hope that Shannon will be able to join us. And really she joined us shortly. We went shopping again and I bought 2 blouses. Waste money, right? That is my character ma, see nice nice clothes must buy de if not regret and somemore it is cheap lor. The four of us went to search for a place for coffee cum gossiping session. And then we cannot find any seats at starbucks nor coffee bean. The reason is that no one willing to stand up and give up their seats to 4 pretty gals like us. Mayb must ask Laoda to show her power. haha!!!! So we manage to get ourselves a place at McCafe. Then I ordered Iced Chocolate, same as Karen. Our chit-chat cum gossiping session began. TaDa...That's all. As for the gossiping session, I will keep it a secret. Haha! Dun itch for that....Heehee! Cheers and nitey to all, Brenda ||12:50 AM||

 I intend to get my P1 pupils to design and make animal mask or paper plates craft. SAMPLE ---------------------------------------->>> The sample shows a bumble bee. Is it cute? But I doubt my P1 pupil will make something like that ----> How about the bottom one. The frog paper plate? Is the colour and its design too complicated? I am not sure too. Worse come to worse, I get them to make panda, bear or lion, much more easier.

Oh no! Today the news reach me. Is it a bad or good news? Search me! I am back in West View and Judy come to inform me that I need to perform 2 times during Children's day. Once is with my primary 3 level teacher and we have not thought of anything yet. No discussion so far, waiting for it to come. Another is with all the new teachers who just came in the month of May to July. And I am of course one of them. I give my suggestions to my colleague, Kala. My suggestions are to have a short skit - preferably wearing the pupils' uniform and acting like the behaviour of some disruptive and hyperactive kids. Our skits can involve a few teachers acting as pupils of West View Pri and one of them act as the discipline teacher and another as the Principal. I think you know how my skit is going. Just a typical school day with the morning flag raising ceremony and moving back to classroom. That's all. TaDa! Another suggestion is to do a fashion show by getting unique clothes for teachers to do catwalk on the hall stage. We also have the third suggestion which is do a choreograph dance. (Hopefully my colleague, Nisha will be able to help us choreograph the special movement of the dance steps.) Up to now, these are all the workable suggestions. If you have any suggestions for the coming Children's Day, kindly leave a note in my tagboard and I will get back to you. Cheers, Brenda ||1:09 AM||

The website is 'www.auditionsea.com' Can you believe I am a game addicter? Heehee...I have recently been entertaining myself with this dance groove game. The songs are very enticing to my ears and you will learn to appreciate the rhythm of the taps that follow the songs closely. How wonderful and pleasing to my ears! If there is a recommendation, I would give it 3 stars. Do you know why? Not exactly five. The game can be improved with less disruption from server disconnection and its slow loading time. ||1:02 AM||

 Picture showed a lovely Valentine Elephantie! Just to submit some picture here... (Requested by my sis) There is a huge difference between boredom and restless. Now, I know it. I think I am more of restless because of the continuity chasing after every show whether it is in www.youtube.com or from rented VCD or DVD or even borrow from my colleague. I think the lacking in sleep and frustration make my body feel so heaty. I hate the heatiness in me. Can someone pull the devil out of me? Stop me from chasing after show. Haiz now going to get myself addicted to Channel 55 le. Devil in me! wahaha...Gosh! Do you believe that I am irritated by myself. Oh ya hor! Dunno why? My sis msg me in tagboard, then flood my tagboard but I oso dun care leh. Aiyo. Mayb this time I am showing boredom. And now my hubby figure out my 'PINK MP3 player - Samsung' for me. Very pek chey over the chinese words lor. Wan download chinese songs then hor the chinese words dun appear. My sis de MP3 player can display chinese words, dunno how she does it de...If she sees this msg, pls tell me wor. In doubts de Brenda, always look so "fan". Haiz... So you know. Am I having boredom or just being restless? Please advise! ||11:28 PM||

Can you believe Brenda is cooking? And somemore she is immersed in cooking! Since when did I start to flip open recipe books in POPULAR and tear pages under cooking column in magazines? I love to taste dishes and hope that I can make similar one next time. Oh mine! Today I am making a simple meal. TaDa...That's chicken rice. It sounds simple, but must appreciate my effort to marinate the chicken and prepare the seasonings. Most impt of all, the rice must be cook in the right proportion and with the right amount of water. To make everything perfect, I must not overlook certain things such as the flavour, the timing and others. For the past months, I have been cooking other dishes like spaghetti, seafood soup, tofu soup, fried vege, dumpling soup, steamed promfret fish, niang doufu, fried rice. All the above are just the basic cooking skills. I hope that in near future, I can whip up a fabulous meal. Wait and see wor! Wana try? Hehe. But I paiseh to let u try... Better to keep low profile. heehee... ||7:10 PM||
