releasing the thoughts in my mind..

how come the singapore never gets that wave of cold air that brings the temperature to below 20 degrees celsius? I so want to fly to BKK now..

But it has been pretty windy the past 2 days.

and isnt Jiawei the one who was engaged to Susilo? Now we know why they broke up. I think its one of the most sucky reason to break up, if it is because of a 3rd party. I remembered she gave the reason that Susilo was stingy, and Susilo's friend said that she is a spendthrift. Blah blah. Money is so important eh?

in the past week, I have encountered 2 friends with money issues. It's kinda sad.

I have spoken to 5 parents over the past 3 days. One parent said he can't do anything to motivate his child to study. And he insisted that I cane his child. He wants me to lose my livelihood izzit? My P shared that teachers are getting more innovative in punishing students. One teacher asked the student for permission to hit him, the student said okay. And she hit him! ????? Duh.

The bottomline is this, if you lay hands on the students, it is your fault, whether permission is given to you by the parents or the students or not.

I got a new reporting officer. My P said that if we are not happy with our reporting officer, go to her and we can have a discussion and see what can be done. She offered herself as a reporting officer. I was tempted to learn under her. I have no doubt that my growth as a teacher would be exponential, but she's a perfectionist lor. Sure die wan. I don't want my entire life to be consumed by work.

Not that I have anything against my current reporting officer, but she doesn't give me good vibes.

My ex-reporting officer told me in front of another teacher that I am one of her best supervisees. If it is true, I give thanks, but I don't feel that she's sincere. So I asked," Are u sure?" She replied, " Ya, true, if you don't believe, look at your performance bonus this year." If it is true, I give thanks again (thinking about my holiday in June and where I want to go :). And if it is true, i am still in awe why I deserve what I do. I wanted to ask her again," Are u sure? My performance bonus was already very high last year leh. " I decided not to push my luck.

A good leader is hard to find. A good leader empowers you. A good leader cares about your growth and guides you to reach your potential. A good leader sets a good example. A good leader is humble yet firm. A good leader is teachable and believes in continual learning for herself/himself. My P is one fine example of a good leader.

I am so tired....
