Sorry for the long long absence.. super busy, super irritated, super strained. not really from school work and my r/s though (i'm enjoying it) but other things.. don't wanna reveal.
currently my life revolves around key words:
- Student-centred learning
- Discipline
- psychosocial development (??)
- lesson plans
- objectives
- etc
- etc
- etc
Just like how i learn maths without learning the definition, the terms and how the formula comes about, now i'm actually forced to learn ALL of those. made me see maths in a different light.. "maths is no longer the same anymore"
tommorrow i'm gg to give away my baby rabbits. not very sad about it. i know i needed somebody to take gd care of them. 4 rabbits is too overwhelming for me.
Rearing rabbits is not like rearing hamsters. i feel that we can see the rabbit's emotions through their eyes and their behaviour. sometimes when i reach inside the rabbit cage, the mum will be v hostile and try to bite me to fend me off.. sometimes she'll be quite scared and shiver when i reach in. the only thing i havent figured out is why she would feel scared or angry when i think i treated her the same everyday. maybe i haven't been doing much for them.
why am i talking about the mother rabbit only? My poor mother rabbit had her head stuck at the cage door when my stupid sis tried to close the door to prevent her from coming out. in her panic, she slammed the door such that the mum's head got stuck at the door. my sis tried to pull out the door, but it was stuck. the mum tried to escape and pulled herself out of the situation, but her head was tilted to one side. it almost became tilted 90 degrees!
My poor mother rabbit.. i was so worried i carried her and sayang her to see if she feels the pain in the neck. she did not move an inch in my arms (she usually struggle out of my arms, or scratch me till i let go of her). i stroked her head, touched her neck, but i guess should be alrite, other than the sprain. i do hope it's just a sprain.. pls let her recover soon. I'm sure she'll be fine.
Oh yah, do u realise i have yet to name her? haiz.. im an irresponsible owner. i somehow have the feeling that if i give her a name, my mum will laugh at me. (but actually, i din give them a name and the vet laughed at me :( )
Mother rabbit : Momo
Papa rabbit: pop
Lame ah? My Momo and Pop!
Not in the mood to have a strawberry shortcake, but i saw something i found quite amusing today.
This classmate of mine sitting in front of me had strawberries on her nails. it's like 1 nail with 1 whole strawberry so the few of us sitting behind her was like thinking maybe each of us should have durian, kiwi and banana on our nails?? fruity combi.. hee..
The below are some of the pictures of the new babies. they're so cute rite? they're gonna get adopted real soon. and then there's still 1 more older baby, anyone wants?? waiting for a loving owner..
Happy or sad, i choose to be both.
Sad in the sense that i am no longer teaching in the school.
Sad when i feel that i am drifting away frm my colleagues.
Sad when i recall how last yr i was a struggling newbie but with lotsa cards and flowers as gifts and this year there're fewer..
I was quite happy when 2 days ago, my 2 students came up my house at nite, 10 plus to pass me 2 stalks of roses. they remembered that i said i wont be able to go to school to watch the teachers' day celebration becos of i had a test. so they passed it to me earlier.. so sweet..
i was quite happy of emails and e-cards sent to me today which bears sweet messages and true blessings for me..
- "You have made the black and white pages look colorful n bright...N shown mi the way to a beautiful day!Thanks a lot n HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!! "
- "Even thought you are now studying, i will neverforget the never ending your kindness you gave to all of us. You are justlike a candle who sacrifices itself to let us burn. "
although it's just 2 simple messages from 2 other students, i'm overwhelmed by their gentleness and warmth that i thought i would've lost when i left the school. i'm glad i'm still with them, in spirit and soul.
not to forget the girl who called me to chat awhile and ended off with a "happy teachers' Day" for me..
Happy Teachers' Day to all the teachers, would-be teachers out there!
