My day started brightly with class 401 Art class. I must say I really love teaching them Art. They are very interested in what I teach and they really response well to anything which I taught. I must also admit that Ms Cindy Lee being their Eng teacher also helped. As some of you may know, she is such a caring and gentle teacher. So you can imagine the kind of pupil whom she taught. So my conclusion is...I realised when you teach a well behaved class, you become a happy, polite, inspiring, non-shouting teacher. I was so happy after I stepped out of class 401 and I definitely can't wait to show them more things which I want to teach next week.
My day didn't end on a bright note though. I became a WWE entertainer in my P5 EM3 class. I taught them the same thing as P4. But I have stopped for so long to wait for everyone to keep quiet. One boy was bullied verbally by a few boys and I made him sit near to him. During the class, I have to pull and stop so many boys from getting into confrontations. Worst still, some of them stole my mechanical pencil while I was drawing for them. I was so fed up that I told everyone to sit down and I refused to draw anymore. I really don't understand how this can happen. Was fuming and yet some of them were still making a fool of themselves. When it was coming to end of the lesson, I let some welll behaved pupils leave the class first and made some stay back. I let the boy who was bullied to leave first. Suddenly, this boy(W) just walk in front of me, out of the class, I shouted at him to stop but he kept chasing after that boy who was bullied. I couldn't leave the class as I have to stop more boys from leaving the class. But just awhile later, W came back to class. I was boiling, I grabbed him and shouted at him! He must be shocked by my action but seriously, he shouldnt be! Sigh... in the end, I still have to mellow down and ask him to explain his action, and counsel him... Hope he truly listen and learn!
After school, life was better. I went to watch 881 with a friend. It was a show about Getai. But seriously, this should be called a Hokkien Musical! The actresses were singing all songs in Hokkien throughout the show! Some parts were quite "Kua Zhang"(Ridiculous!) and 2 groups of girls who were fighting with each other on who should sing during the Getai actually have super power coming out of them. Like Street Fighters! But in fact, this show is quite sad, because Papaya Sisters(Little Papaya & Elder Papaya) was made to separate when Little Papaya died from cancer. And from then on, she could only be reunited with her sister at Getai as a spirit. Overall, I felt if you want to know more about Getai during this Chinese 7 Month, it is worth watching. But if you have more meaningful thing to do this month, just wait for the VCD/DVD to come out!
