Class Stand... Good Morning Mr. Chong

Ok, I finally managed picked myself up to write about my job as a primary school teacher. I don't even know where to start.

Well, I set off aiming to be the most caring, lovable, charming and fun teacher in Kuen Cheng 2. I guess from the students' reactions, I guess I've kinda succeeded. =P Here are some memorable accounts I had in school. Enjoy!

Under my PE supervision: 3 kids have got minor injuries, BUT being the caring teacher, I brought them to the pejabat and even applied yellow lotion and antiseptic on their wounds carefully, constantly saying "pain or not?" Ain't I nice? =P

I've developed a few favorite students. One of them, a standard 2 female pupil - looks like a Korean, very adorable. Problem is, she is always sad. One day, I was teaching her class, she was sitting there quietly looking down, so I went towards her to see what's going on - only to find her crying. She was like "I want my maaameee..." My heart just melts when I see girls cry. Suddenly, I think the fatherhood in me just took over. After telling the class to shut up, I carried her to the office and sweet talked her. I brushed her hair, touched her cheeks, wiped her tears and told her everything is going to be just fine. I guess its the closest feeling I've ever felt to being a father. Bless.

As I walked in from the outside world where I thought no women were interested in me - I plunged into a school full of female admirers! I've got to mention my Pendidikan Moral 5S class. Girls would crowd around me, drowing and suffocating me just for my phone number and email address. My friend Vicky suggested: how about making name cards with "call me in 10 years time" printed on it? =P I mean, I've never seen a girl run out of breath and go all flushed just by talking to me before! You should see how excited the standard 6 girls are when I teach them how to play proper volleyball! =P

At least I'm not the only one sharing all the glory - another temporary teacher seems to be getting pretty much attention herself! I know you're reading this Ms. Tan, here is your section. =) Imagine a young, pretty and charming teacher walking past every class where students actually pop out their heads going, "whoa, leng lui!" Well, I've got to admit they were right. =) Thanks to my ever so mischevious 5S class, a love drama has appeared between the 2 of us and its such hot topic, even the teachers in the pejabat are waiting for the next episode! Such enetertainment can be found in the dull life of a Chinese medium primary school. Every lil' fun is precious I guess.

Ok, enough for today. Will blog more about life in school soon.
