The below entry is a blog entry which I should have posted about 3weeks ago. Luckily, I wrote the entry on paper, so I can just copy and paste. I had an influx of thoughts during my experiences in CSS and with certain patients.. Here goes:
My internship has been fun so far. The students are not as notorious as I expect in this school, except for a few. For now at least, I have managed to gain the respect of most colleagues and students (This is just for now, things will change later on). Active, possibly excessively zealous, participation in school events is also in my schedule. I even created a farewell retirement presentation for my mentor. She is leaving at the end of the year I believe. My mentor is on leave from next week and I will handle both her N(A) classes. Gosh.. I hardly had any contact with them before. Pretty apprehensive about it; hopefully it will not be a culture shock. Basically I am not in the least worried about managing a class at this point in time, I just gotta be more serious... I have this tendency to be friendly with juniors and that has really gotta go..
So far, my workload is nearly half of a full-time teacher's. I have been doing what is expected of me, maybe even more, and I can feel the drain. There is still space for more, but I really cant fathom having to lead such a life (get the hint?). I cant imagine my life when the marking, CCA, setting of tests, form teacher duties etc sets in. Frankly, I am loving my teaching job now. A LOT!! However, that is provided the above duties are not included. If they are included, I may just feel exploited. I have always thought that teachers are overworked. Now I have seen for myself (and even done them) the multiple tasks that they can get in just one day.
I have had a certain dilemma for quite a while. (This is an open secret) I am torn between two ambitions, both of which require a nurturing nature, which I am very sure I have. Previously since primary school, I have had always wanted to be a teacher. I will still like to be one. However, a new major-related profession came into my mind in JC. I have had sufficient hands-on experience in both fields and I am fine with both, just that the latter is not as easy to enter. However, there are numerous differences between the two. For instance, the workload and entry requirements into the industry differ greatly. The pool of people whom I work with and provide my service to, along with the code of ethics, are different too.
For one of the professions (it is not hard to guess which), the superiors have mountainous expectations. There are numerous ad-hoc duties which we have to undertake when the time comes. Also the charges we deal with are by the hordes, so management skills are paramount. Moreover, admin work and external projects are choking our schedules, such that the primary duty is trivialised pretty often. Worse of all, the way I see it, the underlying values expected from the workers in this industry are totally off tangent to what I expect.
This tough choice between two careers depressed me for a moment, but I got over it shortly, as usual. The other job, which is also facing a chronic manpower shortage, pays more, and to me is a lot more challenging. It could be less bureaucratic and definitely more systematic, but the satisfaction is similar. We impart skills to our charges. (For the previous job, skills are imparted, but more often than not, it is knowledge being bludgeoned to the sponges)
Anyway that is all that I will say for now. There is definitely more to it, but I do not wish to chronicle them. At least in a few decades, if I re-read this again, I will not be reminded of my current "healthy skepticism", a quality in me which one of my colleagues used to describe me. A serious contemplation is required among these two, but as of now, one of them is drifting away from my choices. It may come back as a mid-career option. I dont know..
The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step -Confucius
I have taken my first step, but is there anyone out there who can stop me from looking away?
There are others out there who can keep me on track, but how long will they walk with me.
I am willing to carry on this journey, but where are my trekking shoes...
I am lacking many qualities to excel in these two professions, but I believe my values are rock solid and apt for the professions. I have just gotta know more about the journey and which route will suit my trek.

It's Been A While...
Hello people.. For those who have been promptly hoping for my next entry, I guess the 4month wait was not futile :P
Lots of things have happened lately and previous conceptions of certain things have changed (a fair amount of them have also been further affirmed).
Quick summary of my life since Sem 2 began:
MUG and GUM (and the results are pretty far from what I expected. MY CAP DROPPED.. Hello!!): Firstly I think mug and gum is a cool way of saying studying furiously and... erm, not studying furiously (depends on how you define GUM.. It's quite open for interpretation). Essentially it just sounds catchy and Im trying to sound hip with the misnomer. Anyway....
My remedy to my education now is not so much of just purely mugging, but to...... take only 4 modules per sem.. I am doing so because I want my time to be spread out more evenly among the modules. (There is ALWAYS one module that I neglect.) This, I believe, will facilitate learning and scoring. Additionally, it may even add more social life, but that's not the crux. I have never felt that a student shld take 5 modules, much less 6 or more, cos it hardly differs from stuffing a turkey for Thanksgiving ie. learning does not take place, one only gets constipated. I expect more independent learning on top of just lessons and work, so the time buffer from my new plan will grant me more autonomy..
If your are quick in Maths, that will mean I graduate later. Quite a gasp for most people and I have heard a few protests against me doing it. No worries. My trial period begins next semester (Year 2 Sem 1) cos I do not see some of the modules that Im interested in, appearing in the list. Moreover, I foresee that next sem's work will be more project-based so it will also be beneficial if I try out the 4 module sem. If things still do not work out as expected in the 4 modules time slot, then something must be terribly wrong with me.
After studies will be work..
Internship at a school now, applying to be a Research Asst in sch (which I think I will not get, cos Im only yr 1 and the candidate next to me seems so much more experienced!!), being KPO over some volunteer work somewhere, just getting an exposure to what I may be doing in future. Basically thats it. A little touchy on certain issues so I will hold back some details.
Busy during this hols too. I have certain constraints so overseas are out of the qn. Ppl coming back into my life (for a while) and ppl leaving it (for pretty long :'( ) so the gatherings are up.
This is an opening resurrection for bloggie again. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to contribute further.

Twist of Fate.. OMG!
There is this gal, whom I have lost contact for x period of time. I must say that despite passing by her a couple of times in school, quite a lot of SMSing between each other, and one interesting experience together, we hit it off quite well. Sadly, we kind of lost contact after a long while of SMS interaction. I guess it was my fault for not initiating SMSing anymore, (or maybe she could have been more proactive and initiated, but thats a pretty lame excuse isnt it?)
Anyway, there have been two gals in my life whom I felt a special connection to. (The one mentioned above is one of them. I think the other one is lost forever, but that was just an exciting experience). Its probably just (and probably still..) pre-mature "realisation" of the right one.. but its still cool to carry on the present with a tinge of the past adrenaline. Anyway, I will skip the details as to the origin of the good news.
Imptly is that, the one that I mentioned above, actually still remembers me, after y period of time. Ok that sounds cool and everything but Im really not sure how things will work out. We will see..

Some poem I wrote for CS
The following poem got the theme from the picture. My friend initiated some "competition", more like friendly displays of poetic work and I participated. Enjoy..
A familiar silhouette centred in the mercury lustre,
Just like an angel emanating silver light.
The sophistication under the silver car hood,
And behind the tinted windscreen
The sleek tyres of your ride
Reminds of immaculate charm
Vroom mechanism turns the car on, and also the beholder’s curious adrenaline.
The yellow glow from the headlights and corridor almost seem to beckon,
A siren’s song from the humming engine.
Silver hypnotism brings onlookers’ footsteps closer in
Nearing and into the mercury lustre
Hoping to savour the inner beauty within the metal sheath
A glimpse of the enigmatic silhouette in the driver’s seat

Dar Slypenk Clow onk Youtiup.. Ank mor..Dam unkgram
No I havent gone crazy (not yet at least..) and my keyboard is working fine.. Dear readers, try to pronounce what is written on the title. If u find it a chore, so do I. However, I will not be the one creating this example of poor phonics, I am the one experiencing it!!
Im halfway thru my first wk in school. Let me get on to the fun part first cos it inspired me so much that I decided I had to blog it first thing when I get home. I had my first lesson with my Psych Stats 1 lecturer. Dr S, as we will call her henceforth, is definitely some Chinese lecturer. And her pronunciation of English is exactly as exemplified in my title: Broken and fu**ing irritating..
Btw the title is supposed to be spelt (and pronounced as stated) this way: The Sleeping Clown on You-tube.. And more..Damn unglam
The title itself is an enigma which I will address soon.
I never had so much misery and torture having to last through a lecture. Stats are boring enough and the pain just grows exponentially, with poor delivery. I can understand that Dr S is trying to market herself so that ppl will choose her tutorial grps (she seems v concerned that students will choose the other tutor, if they arent gonna do so, I AM..). In her marketing techniques, she tries to add humour into her delivery and somehow the lecture grp can be observed to be reciprocating her humour with murmurs and decent laughter. Maybe it's just me but I dun find her jokes funny at all.. And her teaching is not the clearest possible. I think I may just skip her lessons in future and befriend the textbook. Also when I asked her a qn, she gave me an "I think.." answer. "I thinks.." make me raise eyebrows as much as replies like "Whatever" and "Anything".. Basically apprehension and lack of confidence. (Again, much as these three replies are used by me sometimes, I really hate myself for using them. And I am trying to refrain from the usage.)
Aniwai I hair enar or torkeng arbao hur..(Anyway I had enough of talking about her)(I can SWEAR she will pronounce it like this, her stressing of plosives and fricatives are really haywire and screwed). Im not yet a full-fledged grammar Nazi like BitchY but at least spare the ears..Now I will talk about myself, again...
Due to the poor delivery, I fell asleep. Nothing surprising... I slept thru half my lectures in JC anyway.. In JC, I always sat with friends who would poke, nudge, kick, slap.. (u name it I have it all) me when I doze. In uni though, I am quite a lone ranger. Maybe it is because I dun want anyone to disturb me during the lecture? Or more probably, it is because I hardly have any new friends to tag along with.. (Im not anti-social really, but the circumstances in uni force everyone to become at most hi-bye friends.. And my old friends are not taking psych mods..) So I fell asleep without anyone waking me.. (It happens on public transport as well when I am alone..)
Ppl who have seen me doze off have probably lost count of how hilarious I look when I snooze. (If u haven seen it, TOO BAD!! cos there will be no re-enactments.. Just count yr lucky stars..)
And today during Dr S's phonetically irritating lecture, I dozed in the most comical way, head arching backwards, mouth ajar... (I observed that I only sleep in this position when I am absolutely tired, which I am due to this poor wk of slp).. Thus I slpt twenty minutes in this vulnerable position.. (I say vulnerable because most pranksters, which I have experienced before, luckily only once, put the weirdest things inside the mouth.) Anyway, when I awoke, nobody laughed at me (which usually happens). They probably laughed enough during my sleep.
Another case happened on Monday when I was on the bus home. Again, bad nights and bad bumpy ride made "zhou gong" a very apt companion.. So I slept nodding.. Then when I woke, two secondary gals who were next to me were just saying "You know, we should have recorded that down and You-tubed it.." At first I was thinking (for both somnolent cases) that the ppl around me can be such asses, especially when they laugh at me.. But then I hardly gave a damn after the first min of being pissed. I was more irritated at myself for giving them the opportunity to laugh at me.. After being pissed at myself, I hardly gave a damn anymore (Been there, done that.. What is another mockery??).. So essentially, Im voluntarily allowing myself to be a sitting duck for laughs without restraint..
Resolution * : Boost my consciousness about self.. ie If I am gonna slp in public, it has to be glamourous... Haha I was just kidding with that.. Basically, stop dozing in public.. (This is resolution * with the asterisk because this is the shittiest yet arguably the most impt resolution I have made of all time).

Epilogue
I finally managed to convince my sloth to complete this resolute epic.
Just a recap:
1. Eat less shit and stop emulating the habits of a pig
2. Resurrect the lost art of sleeping early
3. Kill the P word.. synonymous with undeserving delay (and impunctuality).
4. Get the heck out of here (more often at least).
New definitions:
5. My definition of a good kid and a good person. (Learning spirit and Decisiveness)
Another few:
6. We actually have a king!... And the fourth branch of authority is a disturbing pressure cooker.
7. There is no such thing as facts.. It only depends on how persuasive someone is at getting us to believe his/her claims, and how successful some other ppl are at refuting these claims. (Laws of Nature are undoubtedly the most "factual" ones but I still believe that these Laws fall under this new definition).. Ironically, my claim about facts falls under its own claim too.
8. Im wasting too much time. Going out is becoming a chore and equivalent to shaking the money tree vigorously. Im gonna give part-time tuition. And become a more useful person. And probably become more reclusive..
---------------------------------------------------------------
Justification for the resolutions are really quite self-explanatory. Eating less shit, becoming less piggy, killing of P and sleeping early are pretty much on the route of being a better person, just that it is a lot more helpful to be specific and improve step-by-step. In this case, it is probably four steps at a time, but it can be done. And btw, travel is really impt. It opens one's eyes to the shit and beauty of the world (sometimes even simultaneously.. shitty beauty?!), allows us to cherish whatever we have, cosmopolitan spirit.. Learning spirit.. New cultures (the orgasmic pair of food and music), exposure to new beliefs so as to enhance ours. And oil prices are on the rise (I dun foresee it going down at all).. Global warming is flooding and heating the wrong places.. Basically, there are too many reasons to drive ppl to travel. Popular culture (I scorn its stupidity half the time) is one of them but those are for the wrong reasons. I believe the ones I quoted above are less superficial and more convincing.
Learning spirit and decisiveness is really important to the wellness of one. Replies like "Anything..", "Whatever..", basically are lazy replies which implies lack of thought and decisiveness, and probably even the lack courage to impose one's decision. Much as everyone, including myself, uses such frivolous replies at one time or another (mainly due to laziness), excessive use makes it irritating. Also, my personal observation is that most ppl who I find are successful, or on the route to success, possess both these attributes. So work on it... And kids nowadays really need these qualities. They aren't learning the rite things, the rite way, or from the rite persons.
The recently added resolutions are more touchy, but Im still gonna harp on it anyway. Pt 6 is true (who am I to say what is true, especially with Pt 7 coming up, but that is my two cents' worth). Jaya probably believes that too. And there are many deceiving entities around, so dun plainly believe whatever is presented. Just look at the American election results vs pundits' bets..
Pt 7 is pretty much explained on its own. I cant recall what brought me to this theory. Maybe it was the result of higher learning? Or the plethora of academic debate.. Moreover, after the deluge of readings, I have realised that we are still an immature civilisation (We dun even know how to utilise and live well with our environment for goodness sake!).. Such irritants just affirm my pt.
Lastly, I really am wasting too much time. My constant binges and late night out sicken me. Social life is important and has never lost its imptance but I believe I am overdoing it one time too many. Time has a new definition now and the axiom "Time is Money" has gotta make sense sometimes soon ie now.. Much as this mercenary axiom is defeating my purpose of life, (it is truly a waste of life to live for work), I am seeking to pave a better path for the future, then when things are settled, the true meaning of life can enter the picture. Basically, suffer now, enjoy later. No one is getting any younger, and ageism is forever existent, so I guess the rationale is clear.
Ok I believe I have imparted enough of my philosophy (be it resurrected or newborn beliefs).. We will see again in 365 days, (no, 366 days.. it's a leap year this 2008) and along the way, how progress has progressed. All the best to my readers' resolutions too..

It's about time... For some New Year resolutions... 2
This is part 2 in case ppl haven noticed...
First and foremost, I wish to address a friend's query on whether I have broken any NY resolutions. Well it appears good that the answer is NO but the resolutions werent very hard to fulfil in the first place anyway. I cant really remember what they were, but I know that they are pretty cliched thus pretty easy to fulfil. (Probably something vague like "I want to be a better self and everything". I wasnt very serious previously.)
Im gonna stop here for a while. Cos I know that Im not in the right frame of mind (Im yawning) and resolution (One of my resolution is to sleep early. Look at the time! It's 1am. Diao....) to accurately and religiously blog about the 101 shit that went thru my head before/during/after 2007/2008. (Such transitions really make writing tedious).. So Im gonna carry on soon.
Meanwhile as an organised reminder for my future continuation..
Resolution: 1. Eat less shit and stop emulating the habits of a pig
2. Resurrect the lost art of sleeping early
3. Kill the P word.. synonymous with undeserving delay. I recall this resolution from last yr. Improvement is observed in 2007 but more can be (needs to be?) done.
4. Get the heck out of here (more often at least). Looking at the world thru screens really suck. (Note that I almost placed the word "permanently" after the word "here" but the reason for that's not meant to be blogged)
I never believed in quoting good health, good life (I killed this resolution after last yr) and good grades cos we are supposed to be resolved to doing such things, both as a person (Man is supposed to instinctively live a healthy good life) and an SG person (this little red dot has trained us well in being grade conscious).
Other shit 5. My definition of a good kid and a good person. (Learning spirit and Decisiveness) "Good" is a really bad (the following comment applies to "bad" too) adjective to use when blogging. I can think of 101 (not literally of cos) words to substitute these two common words under pressure but not when Im blogging. Irritating..
6. I cant recall some of the stuff I intended to write. Just a disclaimer. If I suddenly dun find the need, or effort to carry on this entry, it will end like this. It contradicts one of my resolution in some sense, but after noting these stuff down, I find that I have the crux and its pretty self-explanatory. The details that are supposed to follow are just reasons and revelations. Not exactly need-to-knows. Grill me if curiosity is pestering you dear reader.
Meanwhile. Happy New Year 2008!! (My greetings are always overdue cos I havent got used to such greetings. Am I a rude, overdue-in-greetings, party recluse? Almost..And its probably gonna stay) And btw I observed the poor organisation of thought and heavy use of brackets in this post. It has always been my trademark of blogging (glad that it did not spill over to schoolwork) so if this entry is not reader-friendly, take yr time. Re-read if need be, whatever. Its not that hard to comprehend really.

Im gonna stop here for a while. Cos I know that Im not in the right frame of mind (Im yawning) and resolution (One of my resolution is to sleep early. Look at the time! It's 1am. Diao....) to accurately and religiously blog about the 101 shit that went thru my head before/during/after 2007/2008. (Such transitions really make writing tedious).. So Im gonna carry on soon.
Meanwhile as an organised reminder for my future continuation..
Resolution: 1. Eat less shit and stop emulating the habits of a pig
2. Resurrect the lost art of sleeping early
3. Kill the P word.. synonymous with undeserving delay. I recall this resolution from last yr. Improvement is observed in 2007 but more can be (needs to be?) done.
4. Get the heck out of here (more often at least). Looking at the world thru screens really suck. (Note that I almost placed the word "permanently" after the word "here" but the reason for that's not meant to be blogged)
I never believed in quoting good health, good life (I killed this resolution after last yr) and good grades cos we are supposed to be resolved to doing such things, both as a person (Man is supposed to instinctively live a healthy good life) and an SG person (this little red dot has trained us well in being grade conscious).
Other shit 5. My definition of a good kid and a good person. (Learning spirit and Decisiveness) "Good" is a really bad (the following comment applies to "bad" too) adjective to use when blogging. I can think of 101 (not literally of cos) words to substitute these two common words under pressure but not when Im blogging. Irritating..
6. I cant recall some of the stuff I intended to write. Just a disclaimer. If I suddenly dun find the need, or effort to carry on this entry, it will end like this. It contradicts one of my resolution in some sense, but after noting these stuff down, I find that I have the crux and its pretty self-explanatory. The details that are supposed to follow are just reasons and revelations. Not exactly need-to-knows. Grill me if curiosity is pestering you dear reader.
Meanwhile. Happy New Year 2008!! (My greetings are always overdue cos I havent got used to such greetings. Am I a rude, overdue-in-greetings, party recluse? Almost..And its probably gonna stay) And btw I observed the poor organisation of thought and heavy use of brackets in this post. It has always been my trademark of blogging (glad that it did not spill over to schoolwork) so if this entry is not reader-friendly, take yr time. Re-read if need be, whatever. Its not that hard to comprehend really.
