Just came back from 3E4 Karimun trip from 26-28 Mar. Come to think of it, I have been there for 7 times (2005 with class 3/7, 2006 - 1 Recee trip/1 Camp Echo, 2007 - 1Recce/1CampEcho/1class3NA6, 2008 - 3E4). Think I am the teacher with most trips there. :-)
Had fun with my form class, took many photos. Shall blog those unhappy/happy things.
1st dayTook a ferry with most of my students able to go upper deck to enjoy the sea breeze. Reached there immediately the students start teaching. I spotted few "potential teachers" like Shimin and Yang Zhen. Went to some1 house for lunch, cos now is no long Dedi's house to eat. I prefer Dedi's mom cooking. Went back to hotel in noon to prepare for Geo trip. In the hotel, got to open up the door several times to "stare" at students as they were running here/there. Later back from field trip, a group of 14 students were shouting "Goal" in one of the room. Needless to say, you can predict what happened next. Gave them scolding in the hotel lobby before we went for dinner. Then nothing much in the night. Lights out at 1130pm. Oh ya, black-out was fun, can see a lot of students all chiong outside the room and taking torchlight. For me? Nothing to scare as I just lie down on the bed and wait for the light to come back in less than 1min. Few obsevations, few students (Yishi, Yang zhen) scared of cats and Dylan scare of small cockroach. :)
2nd dayI climb Mt Jantan only till mid point cos one of the gal was pale and breathless. Took the decision not to let her proceed for safety sake and to go back down to the midoint as we are already 20min after e mid point. The class total took 4hr 10min, 10mins better than 3E5. You all have made me proud. Saw few students helping out the female teachers and one another. I am happy to see good teamwork among you all. Back to hotel R&R till 545pm. In btw, chit chat with Alicia, XiuMei, XiYu, HX and Viv on the 2nd floor sofa. Haha lots of funny jokes. Joke of the day is titled "Sew". Shall not blog out as this is secret between us. Light out was at 1215, prior to that we again sat outside my room for more chitchat session while others were eating their food along the corridor.
3rd daycheckout hotel at 8am. Went back to same school to play game, then back to eat lunch n board the ferry at 12pm. Can sense that all my students were tired and aching everywhere but I can assured you that THEY enjoyed ALOT. :)
But too bad there is no more such trip organised for them. But rest assured, there will be class chalet for 3E4 this year. Provided you all pay a bit for chalet. I think i can pay for some of it. Cos I am proud of you all. Is a promise :)

Yes!!! Is confirmed. 2E3'07 class chalet is from 6-9 Jun @aloha garden bungalow 7. I am looking forward to it. Even Charlene is helping me to countdown 92 days. :) Tried to book Pool Terrace but it was fully booked by 7am today when I tried to book the chalet. But no choice but to book garden bungalow which is slightly further to the swimming pool. Nvm, we will still enjoy it as a class.
Thanks to Shimin, Janice and WeiTing for tagging my blog to give me encouragement. U all got my "heart" :) But I will be definitely v happy if u all study hard and let me c good results in the EOY.
Went to MOS to eat lunch today with Fel, Char, HX, janice, Shimin and her sister and ZY. Then proceed to Mac to slack until 6pm? Dunno wat to blog now. :)
Hmm to be honest, my "Emo-ness" (is there such a word? :) still lingered in my life. Will get over it soon, dun worry.

Happy Birthday to ShiMin and Hilda.
Went to Shimin's aunty house just now. Raining quite heavily at around 545 and waited at the bus stop. SM's aunty came fetch us in using her car. There were 12 of us, so basically she got to make 3 trips to and fro. Once there slack around eat dinner and have cake. Chit chat with them till 9pm? Then the rest went to AMK hub (crazy?? by the time they reach there, already closing?) and I went home.
Mood was not too good these few days and I tried to occupy myself with a lot of work in school and at home (play DOTA). Will need to book chalet on 6 Mar so that I can book the chalet from 6-9 Jun for class 2E3'07 cos we got value added class in 2007.
I have more or less know what to do with my life now. I am going to make a major decision soon which will affect a lot of people. Wait for the D-day to come. A lot of people will definitely be surprised by my move.
