its ending soon.
only two more lessons with 1E and 1F.. its a packed weekend,with registration for university to be settled, university talks to attend, medical check up to go for, students' work to be updated, and how can i forget, the all important file check.
i seriously think a file check is veryyyy draining, and taxing :( .it doesnt help when my students do not do their corrections properly :(
to my students in 1e/f/g, thank you for being such wonderful classes. although there are times you guys drive me crazy and irritated because you like to TALKKKKK alot, but teaching you guys have really made my life more meaningful. this is an accomplishment of a different kind, to know that students out there have benefitted from what i have taught.
i hope that after i leave you guys, you will continue working hard because you should not slack off just because there is no one nagging you. believe you can achieve your dream of being promoted to the express stream.
i hope you guys will like my present, and hope that you will use it well., ( use it to circle -ve nos so that you will not fall into the trap! )
i will upload the pictures i have taken with some students soon u here! (:

tomorrow is e learning day! any problems, please msg me or call me. rmb www.ace-learning.com.sg and user/password both is IC, capital letters.
tagboard sees many comments with ppl worrying about their results. haiyo, if you guys did well and know it, then dont need to worry. those who have not listened to me, well okay you can worry alot.
i finished marking the papers on the day you guys did that paper2, so i have all the marks.
all i can say is that some ppl dont deserve what they get, some in a good way, some in a bad way.
for people who worked hard, dont give up even if your results are not up to your expectations. what matters most is that you have a postive attitude towards learning, and ability to succeed is not determined by one paper.
people who have done well even though you did not work hard, okay, youre smart. or maybe with alot of luck. i dont really know what to say, but congrats on your gd results. hope this doesnt put you off to improving your attitude.
and my students, please know that my disappointment should only serve to encourage you to strive for the better, and not allow yourself to be miserable and never get up.
if you know you have done your best, then i'm proud of you! (:
like khairul, i know he revised hard for the test. i can see that!
like shiyi and shermeen, thanks for putting in effort to study, but you need to put in MORE effort to get BETTER results. the results you get now might be disappointing, but what matters most is that you work harder to improve from where you are now.
like cindy and mavies, suddenly improved so much.
and many more of you, please continue working hard even after i stop teaching your classes.
the study of mathematics can be seen as the greatest thing i have done in my entire life. because of mathematics, i have done well in most things, except for english. when i first taught your classes mathematics, i didnt understand why there are some things you just cant understand. at one point, teaching math started to reduce my personal passion for math, because it was frustrating.
but at this point in time, i think it has all changed. the exams have proved that you guys can and will do it. you just need pushing, and eventually you can see math in the same way i do. i see it as the only subject i REALLY love in my whole academic life, ( i hate english, bio, and all humanities blah blah ). i will always do math hw first( but recently i have started doing math last cos i know no matter what i will still finish math. this way i can finish all my work. ahhah perhaps you guys can try it too ).
nowadays, i like to talk to my friends about my classes, cos you guys are so interesting. and because of you guys, i have less time to think of other things that use to bother me when i was less busy. you make my life meaningful, because when i see that you can learn something new everytime i go to your class, and that i can teach you more than just math, it is really a satisfying feeling. because of my classes, i started thinking about teaching again. ( cos actually i was discouraged to teach when you guys were constantly giving me problems in the first few weeks).
anyway, i went to buy snacks for you guys again! my mum is complaining abt all the snacks at home.. should really bring it to school soon..
what a long post. i shall go sleep now. cant wait to see you ppl on tuesday! :D

taking a break at home.
the mathematics exam is coming up! i'm really as excited and nervous as you guys taking the exam. this is my first time formally setting a paper, even if its just 3 classes taking the paper. i really hope everything will go well on thurs and friday! and im sure you guys will be happy on friday too, because mathematics paper 2 will be your last paper! (:
so just hang in there abit more, its only 2-3 more days till you can start playing and having a good time and less stress over examinations. till then, just practise the mock papers a few more times, review from your notebook and files. lastly, dont be too nervous and keep falling into the traps! you know where they are, just dont be too careless! just think of me by your side asking you, :" why positive? why negative? positive times negative =? " when you cross multiply remember to multiply to every term!
and listen to your parents, sleep early! (: you all will be fine.
over the past few days, i realised that forcing students to stay back might not be the way all students study, so i have decided that there will be no compulsory remedial on wednesday. however, i will still stay in school on weds till quite late to help students who need my help! so i will prolly be in 1E/F classroom and any students with problems, please stay behind and ask! when i go through the topic again, all of you can revise as well and benefit from it!
i will also print a set of notes on the math midyear exam so that you will be more well-prepared for the exam (:
This is the last stretch, show me what you are capable of, and make me proud before i leave the school :D

im sorry, and you make my days meaningful.
today is the combined remedial session with 1e/f. truthfully, it didnt go the way i wanted to, because of the holdup over some theft case in school. haiz, in the end wasted close to 1 hour. well shant complain..
firstly, i realised i did something i should not have done.
today at 1230pm, i asked some students to leave. just take your papers and leave if you want to. okay, some students are already quite good so i guess it's fine with me that they want to leave.
to those students like kinhao, eugene who left simply because they dont want to listen, and for those of you out there who didnt even come for my lesson, you just left me more disappointed with your behaviour. your attitude towards learning really needs a big change.
then i realised that the malay students like izman, khairul, hakim and zul left because they had prayers. I AM VERY SORRY! I HAVE TOTALLY FORGOTTEN THAT YOU HAVE TO GO FOR FRIDAY PRAYERS. i sincerely apologize for this oversight on my part. i will address this in class as well.
i know you guys dont like teachers to scold you, but really, i do it because i really want you guys to learn. learn to be serious, ad work hard. esp 1F, please go back to how you were. teachers' words are not meant to hurt you, they are for you reflect and change for the better. if it hurts, tell me.
and as a teacher, i know that sometimes we might neglect how our students feel about our words. and it's hard to apologize because a teacher should always be right. so dont hold it against any teacher.
i read all your comments, thanks for them again. appreciate them alot. these things you guys say warm my heart, and is my motivation to going on, even when i want to just stop and walk away.
i feel that none of my students are stupid. but you are just playful and lazy. you dont know when to be serious, and try to play a fool. there are times when you really need to be serious.
i always like to tell my friends that i wish i never have to grow up, because i know the responsibilities and the seriousness people who grow up have to carry with them. i dont want that.
haiz, you guys can be funny and play, i hope you guys realise that i am not forcing you to be someone you are not, i dont want you guys to lose your cheerfulness and playfulness, im just asking you guys to be less playful. i know its hard, ( actually i am having problems because im too playful too.. but still less playful than you guys of course.. (: ) but we still have to try right? because the world doesnt revolve ard us, we have to consider other people.
be serious when we should be.. ( like during my lesson! when i am teaching.. )
anyway, my last week in westspring will be officially term 2 week 10. i will miss you guys alot, miss teaching you people, talking to you guys, giving remedials, scolding you people. ( actually there are times you guys really make me want to laugh, i just dont really laugh... )
well, its alright, i will write more abt this nearer to this date.
now my aim is just to do my best to get both my classes to have 100% passrate, and at least 50% A okay! (that means at least 35/50 for each paper!)
im sure you guys can do it.. just get all angles questions correct get 8 marks, get equations all correct get ard 10 marks, calculator stuff ard 6 marks, HCF etc 6 marks, 5 marks anytwhere then you can do it alr!
so dont fall into those traps i told you abt! (:
i am really starting to miss you guys, even before i leave.

i feel that miss cindy is a better teacher than me. this is because, 1G is doing best among the 3 classes. they started late, but now they are at the front. what does this show?
1E and 1F, i dont need your gratitude nor saying that im the better teacher etc, all i need is for you to show me you can do well for your examinations (:
