today demonstrated the truth in this saying:

"Kids should always be seen and not heard."

Indeed, the wise person is right.

relief teaching at yewtee was a horror today.

i was hoping for the kids to come like television sets-with "MUTE" and "PAUSE" buttons. and at the very least, if nothing fancy is available, the "OFF" button.

the racket a class of 30 odd can create is beyond anyone's imagination.

to all teachers who thought my classes in the past were noisy, take a listen to my relief class.

i raised my voice, i scolded them, i STARED at them.

alas, all could only work for 10 sec.

this! i found out. is the ultimate way.

recording their names on this aptly-named paper: EXTREMELY ILL-BEHAVED STUDENTS

to be handed to their real teacher, who i heard is a FIERCE man who is a force to be reckoned with, and the DISCIPLINE MASTER.

MUAHAHAHAHA.

trying to test my patience?

it has a limit.

reasonable one.

but the line was crossed with these kids.

HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED.

HA.

the paper is sitting on the table in the staffroom.

muahahah.

already the kids have been BEGGING me to strike their names off.

i WON'T.

since i am NOT planning to hand in the paper anyway.

HAHAHAHAHA.

small kids.

i can fool them.

quite easily done.

=)

ALSO,

i spent my 1ST recess alone. GASP!

i read my driving book in the room. with aircon. no kids. no noise.

PERFECT.

well, i'm not ALL that mean. i made friends with them too. i found out abt the LOVE TRIANGLE in the class.! at what? 12 years of age. whoa.

and they KEPT asking if i was Singaporean.

what's up with that? i CETAINLY did NOT wear a ski cap there.

well that qns KEPT ON popping out. and they would NOT believe when i insisted i was Singaporean.

too boring? maybe i should just say i'm russian or sth tmr. HAHAH. and my name will be HOLA.

at least the morning session means that i can get the afternoon off. so i hit the gym today. whoa.

i'm proud of myself! =)

here's to more name-writing tmr!
