yesterday i have had an interview and I will have another one later. I didn't perform well yesterday. As I spoke too much and the speed was too fast. Also, I could not answer one of the question appropriately. Hope I can perform better tomoro!
Recently, IED shared materials about further studying to us. There is a course called "Subject knowledge and pedegogy" which is suitable for teachers who haven't got degree in English or Maths but who wish to teach those subjects in future. Maybe this is a way for us to improve ourselves.
I had 2 interviews this week. However, i didn't perform well in any one of the interviews!
For today's interview, as they aimed at employing a music teacher, I was invited to play a song at the start of the interview. Actually, this should not be a special request for a music teacher. But I haven't got much interview experience and this made be feel unexpected and refused to do so. Though that song was not a difficult one and in fact, it is a hymn.
For me, I just expect to play after practising, or trial teaching. I was too nervous that moment and they invited me to play my own song. And the worse thing is: I didn't bring the music book. Then, I felt a bit lost during the inteview.
I must remember to bring my own music book and to play more for the audience, especially those who're not my friends, haha ...
Today I have finished the block practice! One of the class I taught missed us so much and we took lots of photos. We shared dounuts with all the teacher colleagues as well in order to give thanks to them.
However, I was not happy for another class. There's something happened...
This class is 6A. They're like teenagers and have their own thoughts which are not easy to handle when teaching. Yesterday, there're some misunderstanding between me and a boy. And then he kept insulting and blaming me today. I'm a bit angry but as I know that i'll be leaving. I did not take too much time to explain and comfort him. Though his friends told me that he'll forget the things easily and will understand later, I feel this spoiled my happy memory during this practice period.
Hope he'll calm himself down later because this bad emotion is not good to him as well ..

my friend's wedding
yesterday I've attended a friend's wedding party. It's quite a funny party. The bride has sang a song which the lyrics was composed by her. And there was much for the couple to share theire feelings. It's not a too formal one and I also prefer this kind of style to let all guests enjoy the party :)

I love u all
I have finished a harsh task, that is my lesson observation. here it is a good news for all of my friends who care on me: I have got a credit in the last test. this is especially important, if I could just get a "pass" this time, my honour will also be "pass" no matter my gpa is. But now, all worries have gone!! Actually, I still cried this afternoon as I put so much pressure on myself. Fortunately, I didn't give up till the last moment. Thanks for all my classmates and friends who supported me. I love u all :)
my computer is still down ... couldn't see me on line la.

Project Learning
We had a "project-learning week" last week. The topic for our school is The Olympic Games, 08! This is hot topic and our students enjoyed most of the activities. They need to attend workshops, seminars and outgoing activities, though it was a small scaled ones. We went to the racecourse at Sheung Shui and they practised horse-racing! FInally, they need to do the powepoint presentation and complete a poster design.
To conclude, they devoted much of their time and the result is fruitful. I also appreciated their efforts paid. Their powerpoint slides were wonderful, too.

I will never give up
This Thur, I worked as sister for m friend. The most interesting task was to spread the rice onto the red umbrella, which was on the top of my friend and her husband. This is a new task for me. It's funny because her husband is too tall and I have to' jump' in order to spread it sucessfully! Finally, the tasks were all finished and we could enjoy the nite :)
However, my job at school was not sucessful. I could only pass the 3 tests without getting a credit. This is quite discouraging for me as the lesson observation tests will affect the honur classification. If I could not get a credit next week, I could only get pass for the final honour. I need to work hard! Anyone please support me, THANKS
Recently, my computer has been down. I think I'll buy a new one after June...
首先, 祝你新婚快樂! (我開了你的名字呢, haha. 不要緊吧, 大家都高興嘛)
星期四那天, 我為C 同學做姊妹. 由於這已是我第二次做姊妹, 心情相對沒那麼緊張刺激. 但還是興奮的
婚禮於海景嘉福酒店舉行, 大堂盡是富麗堂皇. 而好友是朋友新娘中, 最漂亮的一位. 所以, 當她換上晚禮服, 再進入宴會廳時, 有賓客嘩了一聲. 這真是罕有的!
而下星期六, 是我另一位好友結婚的大日子. 但她選了不擺喜酒, 我只需出席她於下午舉行的婚禮便行. 有時, 我也在想, 把婚宴攪得盛盛大大的, 確實是很累啊... 那天, 我準備穿上裙子, 塗些指甲赴宴就好.
還有, 請各好友留意, 若你想找我做伴娘/ 姊妹, 請盡量安排weekend 舉行婚宴. 因為在學校工作, 沒有所謂 casual leave 的, 一般只放暑假.
上星期五, 我為一年級的數測監考.
雖然這是我第一次監考, 但心情不算十分緊張. 因我相信一年級的同學該不敢作弊吧. 而且, 原任老師已知會了要注意的事情. 所以我都頗放心.
監考當天, 我依照了原任的叮囑, 包括要解答同學的中文字問題, 還需特別為以非中文為母語的少數族裔同學解釋題目. 整體來說, 只是有些同學做完後感到不耐煩, 而我總算順利完成任務.
但, 我意想不到的是竟然會出事...
這天原任老師改了測驗後, 我負責派回測卷. 有人得103 分 (連 bonus marks), 而大部份人是 80 分以上的. 可是, 竟然有同學只有 16 分! 我知悉後驚訝, 那是一位英美藉同學, 感到她很可愛, 尚算聰明的. 初時原以為是她中文有問題, 但班上其他外藉同學都得約 80 分, 最低的一位也剛好合格. 於是我看看她的卷, 天呀! 她有一頁幾乎沒有做, 而做了的都只是亂做.
這時, 我開始自責, 若我當時留意到她漏做了, 必定會提醒一下她. 可是當時, 還有其他同學需要我解釋中文, 例如"蝦", "蟹" 字等. 於是我沒有留意其他沒發問的同學. 這樣就出了事故.
怎料更糟的是, 學校要求為她做點事情. 想找來教育心理學家, 欲評估她是否有輕微的學習困難. 這時, 她家長才發脾氣, 說什麼不該強逼她, 要愉快學習. 又說在外國, 6-9 歲都不會學寫字等等.
其實, 我感到那同學天份 ok, 但是專注力不足. 上課不留心, 不想做家課. 不過, 現在老師也不再操心, 只能讓她繼續下去, 到三年班時才教她寫字吧.
昨天, 未看日曆, 還以為是黑色星期五.
我未曾經歷過比昨天更倒楣的日子. 忙完了星期二的導師觀課準備工作, 本以為星期四的勞動節可以休息. 怎料星期三突來另一導師的攞命電話, "我星期五要來觀課!" "那天是舉行一年級的數測." "不要緊, 我來看六年級的課." "... "
冷不防給他打個陣腳大亂... 結果, 就是又要勞動一番: 即寫教案, prepare powerpoint slides, 設計活動, 出工作紙等. 想做得好一點, 一天也弄不完, 唯有開夜車.
第二天早會時, 竟告訴我當天午飯後不用上課, 大家同來迎接聖火!! 天呀, 其實我的課堂活動, 也和傳聖火有關啊. 但我知道, 如果我向老師要求上課的話, 觀課成績很難合格, 因為那是六年級的課, 我知他們會想: Miss 若你硬要上課, 你將有戲可看!
辛苦準備好的, 卻是無功而還. 幸好, 那導師不是特來看我的課, 否則換了是我, 我也感到麻煩. 這時, Admin 文員竟來找我 "因打卡機故障, 你的卡打錯了, 請你到校長室去找他簽回." 為何只我一人打錯?? 我深深體會到, 人衰了行路打倒tun
本以為星期日可找朋友傾訴一番, 不料她sick 了. Really poor!!
*********
幸好聖火傳遞順利, 而同學也很 enjoy the moment. 他們從中學到了不少知識, 我的心情才能愉快一點.
為什麼今天會突然有興致談起這個來呢?
因為愛情對我來說, 好像是過去式, 如像故事一樣. 已過那個層次, 是時候close file 了.
一生中真心喜歡過 4 個人, 第一個是識於小學時, 當時沒有什麼感覺, 只感到鄰座的男生很有趣, 傾談和玩得很愉快. 外表嘛是瘦瘦小小的那種. 感激他曾經為了我做一些事, 最終卻沒有發展.
第二個是一個外表平凡的人, 但是風趣幽默, 而且精通電腦技巧知識, 可是我知他的取向, 不會喜歡我的.
第三個是上一個男朋友, 當然他是很叻, 外貌也 ok. 重要的是幽默有趣! 我們曾有過短暫開心的日子, 短得只有兩個月左右... 之後的痛苦比快樂多幾倍.
最後, 當然是幽默風趣的人, 但比較有性格, 而且好像很洞悉世情, 了解我的心理, 他大過我一點. 為何會無疾而終呢? 大概是相處不來吧?!
我... 都是喜愛幽默風趣之人, 可能本身個人太悶啦, 成日覺得呢類人好吸引. 其實受到他的影響, 現在的我有自信多了. 不覺是人不選我, 是我不選擇而已. 但仍有一個缺點是揮之不去的.
或許我命中註定是缺乏愛情. 有時想, 如果孑然一身, 日子會怎樣過呢? 可能很悶, 孤單, 年老了會很可憐. 不過人老了命也不用耽得太久吧, 只是怕死得痛苦. 但也總比失戀/ 離婚的痛好吧. 不婚不育省下來的錢可以再唸 master, 退休後開間鋪, 與及環遊世界. 能夠實現個人理想, 未嘗不是件好事!
