It's My Life

Where does the teaching part in 'teacher' goes to?

All the supposed to be 'ideal' ideologies of teaching: behaviourist / innatist / interactive and so on....

It's supposed to be ideal. It's supposed to get your students to learn the second language as much as they possibly can.

But what limits the 'success' of second language learning or even learning in general, is the amount of paperwork that teachers have to do. I don't mind getting gazillions of periods or even marking books everyday as I have been trained to specialize in this. What I hate is the ridiculous amount of paper work that I believe is so not meant to be completed by teachers.

Exhibit A:
Teacher has already prepared a well planned 6 periods lesson in a day. Here comes third period and you have to correct a student's IC number of TESTS. Nothing major just TESTS. As the students are our stakeholders too. And it is important to 'satisfy' your stakeholder.

I'm not complaining, but I believe that teachers are well trained to EDUCATE / SHOW / EXEMPLIFY? But why often we have to do things that we would learn if we got our degrees from a SECRETARIAL COLLEGE.

Like duh. Fuh.

I bet in the future that'd be something called TA, teacher's assistant. Cause right now I feel like hiring one and most importantly he / she can deal with people who I don't consider to be important to deal with. Urgh!

Back to December


oh my god it's been awhile since i posted an entry of a song. love love love this song. taylor swift looks gorgeous in this video.

I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life, tell me how's your family
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier then ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why

'Cause the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die

So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to december all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to december, turn around and make it alright and
I go back to december all the time

These days I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side,
Realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye

So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to december all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to december, turn around and change my own mind and
I go back to december all the time

I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night,
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right

I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand

But this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to december
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine and
I go back to december, turn around and make it alright and
I go back to december, turn around and change my own mind and
I go back to december all the time

heee



ohmondieu! i have totally neglected my blog! in fact my laptop for the whole week of last week. first week of january has been so hectic!

1. doing your masters PART TIME is definitely not fun! juggling between work and studying, there isn't much time life for 'ME' time. if you know me well, you'll know that SUCKS big time. my 'ME' time usually involve MONEY (duh...), shopping malls, book shops (just to make me believe that I am spending my money 'wisely'), FOOD and MOVIES.. (i'm craving for A&W for days nowwwwww). and who say the lecturers are more 'understanding' and the projects are 'easier'.. urghhhh!!

2. so last weekend i was like, okay this weekend i shall focus on my schoolwork. you see tuesday is a public holiday here in johor (YEAY, i know!!) and I was like today will be my STUDY day. GUESS WHAT?? there's no studying at all!! i wanted to catch up with my readings so that when I enter the classes tomorrow I'd have some PRIOR KNOWLEDGE (instead of the usual, oh macam-pernah-dengar-dulu face)

3. so TODAY i was SUPPOSED to spend my time wisely by studying, but.... instead i watched MOVIES> ooohh i didn't go to the cinema as i don't have enough $$$ to afford the cinema and i don't have the time at all~ but i managed to squeeze in 3 movies today (hahaha *evil laugh*) so i finally watched AVATAR (haha.. ketinggalan i know), Ramona and Beezus & The Tourist.. it was all just OKAY movies.. nothing WOW! haha.

4. ohh I managed to spend my time at the 'library' the other day.. and i didn't actually do enough 'research' on what books to get and i have just realised that i only got 2 out of 10 books right!! urghhh.. imagine the walk that i have to make to return the books!

5. this year i really hope that i can juggle my work and study well. with all the workloads that i'm getting i really hope that i won't neglect any of it. meaning?? i should limit my 'GOSSIP TIME'. so i will sit more at my place this year (let's see how long this will last)..

6. oohhh! and the traffic has been crazy this year. we have just been switched the a one session school... i had to go out really early just to get a parking spot!

okay that's all for now. *toodles*
