A New Day, A New Term

Today also marks the arrival of the new batch of students to our training centre, of which 5 classes are from Singapore Poly, while the remaining 3 are from Ngee Ann Poly. Things did not turn out too well for me today though, and i tink i had embarrassed myself in front of my form class (the only SP group in the morning shift) becos my leg cramped suddenly as i was teaching halfway, and i actually had to pause to stretch my calf.....i guessed my awkward sitting position caused dat...and i did continue to teach in my stretching position for awhile until the cramp went off...lol

Apparently, some already felt that i had terrorized my class on their first day, maybe cos i already laid down most of the ground rules and minimum expectations of them ---I dun tink it's too much to ask. Well, i did all these things, simply becos i totally believe in the "先小人，后君子" theory. Meaning, it's always easier to start tight, then gradually loosen; rather than the other way round, and probably i was the only person from the morning shift to start teaching them how to draw the process flow diagram of our training plant, while the other 3 groups were having their canteen breaks or their relaxing time (they muz be thinking this damn siao on trainer so fast start to teach liao...)........haahaha....anyway i felt that i was not wrong in doing dat, and hopefully, i could save them more time for their practicals instead of having to go thru them only during their practical sessions.

I do look forward to a pleasant 6 week training wif them, and hopefully, none of them will make my blood boil at any point of time......

Revisiting <手心的记号>

Recently i checked that the original url which this song was hosted has been removed. So i've decided to host it again on this place instead. To those who do not know this song, the reason and background of this song could be found here. Juz in case my articulation was not good and clear enough, feel free to read the lyrics below:

<手心的记号> 词曲唱: myself

我还在这熟悉的街道 我们第一次相遇的地方

感觉很美好 当我看你微笑

我的世界有了你真好

原来这世界并不小 我们曾说过要一起到老

你对着我说 天涯没有尽头

你选择了你想要的自由

没有你的我从今以后 只剩下孤单寂寞

你走得那么轻松洒脱 到底真正为了什么

如果是我爱你不够多 我愿意给你承诺

对你的爱每天会更多

只要你能够给我 一个可以重头来过的承诺

我们曾拥有的美好 难道说忘记就忘得掉

你曾在我手上 留下一个记号

我们的爱 永远都忘不掉

没有你的我从今以后 只剩下孤单寂寞

你走得那么轻松洒脱 到底真正为了什么

如果是我爱你不够多 我愿意给你承诺

对你的爱每天会更多

只要你能够给我 一个可以重头来过的承诺

虽然你已经走远了 我还在为你默默祈祷

如果你看到

我手心的记号

你会知道 我爱你 有多少

End of......

A new year, a new beginning; and every ending marks a new beginning. The above picture shows the Dec 06 ITE batch, who just graduated last friday. To my colleagues who took full class for the 1st time, i'm glad for them for completing their 'reign', and managing to 'conquer' this supposedly the 'worst batch of ITE students --- by their ITE teachers' To me, they are't that bad lar. As long as they fulfil my minimum requirement --- 'i gif u the respect and privileges, but u muz show to me that u deserve them, if not i'll take away all the privileges and treat u like kids'; Fortunately, the 7 students who followed me during their shift training generally did not gif me any major problems. I sincerely wish the students all the best in their future challenges in life, and hopefuly they'll be able to bring the values learnt from us to benefit themselves in the society.

2nite oso marks the end of my 4 months of shift work. On friday, i will be reverting back to the normal and regular office hour schedule, but dat also mark the end of the extra shift allowances every month. The feelings are mixed. On one hand, i am glad that i am finally out so that i will be able to teach another batch of students. In fact, i will be taking one class from the coming new batch on 26th Feb. If nothing seriously go wrong, my form class should be from Ngee Ann in the morning session. I enjoy the teaching process becos honestly, that is what that keeps me going and constantly learning. Though i had taken one batch b4, there are still loopholes in my knowledge that i believe should be covered up, esp those related to mechanical work......On the other hand, the feeling of losing a significant amount of income sux....

Recently, it also marked the end of story between me and her......I remembered when i 1st told one of my best friend over sms when the news was hot and fresh from the oven, he replied, asking whether i was ok.....To confess, if I said that there were no feelings, i am surely lying. Though the decision was painful and perhaps hurting, But i still believe that it will do both parties good....eventually

I do wish that everyone will be able to meet their right person in life, to be with them in times of happiness and sorrow. Perhaps this song serves a good purpose in this post....i remember students told me that i listen to non famous songs, perhaps he was right for this moment. I wun consider him and his songs famous in Singapore or in the recording industry, but i believe he must be famous in his mother country, malaysia, becos he was the "Malaysian Idol". Hope u all can listen to this song. The title of the song might sound odd to those pple who r not so good in chinese, basically it simply means 'organic', to put it in short, it means to cultivate something without the use of artificial chemicals not of animal or plant origin. Use this metaphor to relate to this song.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

要如何切身而退 爱一个人几宗罪

离婚外遇劈腿 爱情太无悔

谁的一个吻忽然谁的罪 谁依然像出生一样完美

谁能流下纯净眼泪

哪里去寻找有机的爱 多爱一回也不受伤害

就让心底的话留住最初样子 自然的盛开

哪里去寻找有机的爱 多爱一回也不受伤害

就让心底的爱情线不必灌溉 与生俱来

爱过的无言以对 分一次手更可悲

临别还要对嘴 虚伪的自卑

流浪城市中爱与恨流转 注意你却非要一尘不染

是否想的太过简单

哪里去寻找有机的爱 多爱一回也不受伤害

就让心底的话留住最初样子 自然的盛开

哪里去寻找有机的爱 多爱一回也不受伤害

就让心底的爱情线不必灌溉 与生俱来

哪里去寻找有机的爱 多爱一回也不受伤害

就让心底的话留住最初样子 自然的盛开

哪里去寻找有机的爱 多爱一回有益而无害

仿佛心底纯真如昔那个小孩

活过来 我期待
