Yes Mag mag =) I see your tag to nudge me to update. Have been extremely busy at attachment lately. Besides all that lesson planning, preparation of materials for learning corners and school assignments, I had to handle personal matters at the centre, hear a lady nag at me all day, watch people talk bad about one another, feel disgusted at the sight of human nature and basically telling myself, that is life. I am finally done with the teaching assessment which did not turn out well even though I merely made it to pass. The external examiner commented me on stuffs that I have never heard people comment about me before. The stuffs she comment and those that my centre mentor comment on the lessons I conduct are direct opposites which really keeps me thinking what the hell I do is right or wrong. Bleah, shaft that aside, my centre mentor assured me that I am doing a good job so that is good enough =)
Wondering what personal stuffs I have to handle at work? Well, an attachment-mate and I have been rather close to 2 other teacher in the centre who are working there on work permit. One of them is from Malaysia and the other from China. Some annoying teacher in the centre is unhappy at the sight of 4 good friends working closely together. Imagine, we went out for dinner a few days back and the results was us being questioned about where we went and what we talk about. Like WTH? Understand the meaning of after-working-hours-privacy? We are picked at for minor things and it almost drove me nuts. There was so much of hurt, temper tantrums and picking attitudes. Sometimes it is the adults who behave more like kids. Things have been picking up, we decide to suit that trouble-maker's favour. So we try to speak less in the centre to avoid more accusations. After all, when we leave, we won't want our 2 full-time teachers to suffer.
On a lighter note, I'll be going for a holiday to China =) Mum gave the green light! Details are not confirmed but it won't be very soon I guess. Probably wanna complete my diploma first. Will be going to the hometown of the new friend I found at the centre I am attached at. She's 4 years my senior and is really like a big sister to me =) Can't wait to get out of here for a good relaxation!
Nevertheless, it has been a wonderful and fruitful experience at my attachment centre; minus the trouble-maker =D
