U know the sch u r working in is not ideal

1) When contract teachers are leaving the service and rejecting entering nie... Reasons up to ur own imagination

2) When the school ends 30mins later than others... I start at 730am and end at 130pm while other pri schools end at 1250pm (yes, I teach pri)

3) When you have 15 more periods than normal b*eginning teachers from other schools (I have 44 periods for ur info)

4) When you never leave school before 4pm on a normal day even though u are a bt and while your peers are leaving at 1pm (normal days in my context are days with no cca, remedials and stuff meeting)

5) When there are only 5 classes in each level (yyyyyyyuuuppp, that's my sch)

6) When the amount of work is piled due to lack of standardization bcos the kps believe in "renewing" and "improving" ideas (ahuh ahuh)

7) When fighting are common among pupils DURING SCHOOL PERIODS (you geddit now?)

Ok, I got to stop here bcos I realized how detrimental this might dampen my mood even further. I'm really infuriated right now.

First day

Super grumpy and bad mood. The body and mind are extremely exhausted, and my eyes are half opened. Dun give me anymore work... Enough is enough

The night before the last term...

And im feeling so complexed cos I need to meet the RO tmr:( I really hope everything is going to be fine. I will be fine, everything will be good. I can do it.

Tmr marks the 10 weeks countdown and I will be able to finally take a break from Singapore and do some travelling. I can't wait for a restful break from work and the hectic weekdays. I wan to slow down my pace of life and enjoy the little things around me. Im slowly growing out of my prime and I dont wan to regret not living my prime time to the fullest.

After all, this is life isn't it? We only live once, so let's live it to our fullest!

2 days break from sch:)

*phew* I got through 10 weeks plus 3 days of sch! Can't wait to detach my mind from sch for 2 days even though I'm going to be busy like crazy, having piano and meeting up with friends.

Im grateful that I made it through this far, shall continue to persevere and make music lessons effective and enjoyable:) the school principal, vice principal and teachers will love me:) and the students will respect me and in turn, love me.
