The Big Ka-BOOM!

A big bang happened in the house! Calm down guys.. It's not a bomb. It's my mom's 13 years old dining table letting go of its last breath.. That gigantice dining table finally takes its last toll and broke down. Mom and I had to un-attach its parts to make it easier to get rid of it.

It happened when we were doing house cleaning from top to bottom.. Sigh, looks like we need to go hunting for a new one.

Rest in peace, my precious dining table. You have served our family well over these years. X3

Second Phase Practicum

This morning was my last day of practicum. Half of me was like "Whaa.. can't wait for the time to scram" and the other half was going "Going to miss here.. Thiam, going back to 7am-4pm schedule of lectures again.."

My second phase practicum was completed in SK Tambay, a very small school with average of 15 to 22 pupils in a class. It's a pretty laid back school where all the teachers are very friendly and warm as well as the staff there ranging from the cooks, clerks, security guards and cleaner. My session with the pupils was around 5 hours a week excluding all the other teach-ins that I might have to take. I taught Year 4 Mathematics and Phys. Ed.

So, this morning was my last day. I bought some gifts to 17 'Denise the Menace' in my class. Well, not all are menace but most of them are. =_=" I had my last lesson before the recess and after the recess, we had a short assembly. After the short assembly, I was planning to pack my stuff and getting myself ready to go back when the class monitor of Year 4 pulled me to the class, claiming that they were crying in the class. Indeed they were...

Being a very cold-hearted teacher.. acclaimed my practicum partner for me not crying when I saw them cry, I just felt weird thinking the whole time, I kept on lecturing them on finishing their homework and punishing them whenever they make noise and being naughty during my lesson. So how in hell would they miss me??

It was like 16 broken pipes in the class! Even the naughiest boy whom I punished almost every lesson. Gosh~ I had to retain myself for quite a while just to comfort all of them and when I started waving goodbye to them, they all cried back!!

In the end, a teacher asked me to ignore them and walk away or else I could not leave the class. I did that and after packing my stuff and bringing it all to my car, there they were! All 17! Crying on my car! Aiyoyo~ Some of the girls even pull my clothes asking me not to go.. but what can be done? Every journey has its end.

Anyhow, feeling pretty tired atm. Symptoms of flu are appearing.. and holiday's around the corner. Going to zz soon so logging off..

Wake Up People!

OMG! The weather these days are so so so hot! I felt like bringing an air-cond everywhere I go but I can't do that. I taught Physical Education and some of my students barely can stand the weather. It's hazy, hot and humid. I even bathed like 4 to 5 times a day than the frequent 3. =_="

What bugs me is that the villagers along the Kota Samarahan and Asajaya district (I'm not sure whether it's a district or not) kept on burning their fields despite the hot weather. It's making the air so polluted and hazy. Ashes sticking on the car and clothes too.

Last Friday on my way back to Kuching, a forest was burnt down and fire fighters had to go and put the fire out using water from the drain cause there are no fire hydrant nearby. The fire was pretty big and near the main road. Hope that after this, they learn not to burn their fields recklessly.

El Nino is coming indeed. I saw today's newspaper and there's a typhoon heading to Borneo! Gosh~ No wonder there was not even a single rain for the past two months. The rivers in rural areas are beginning to dry up.

All I can say is that this is not the work of God or Mother Nature but man alone. Human did this to Earth and we are paying for it. This means every single two legged mammals that are reading this and even me when are typing it down. I guess we got to realize how big one single person can affect the world. No more of the excuse of "I am just one human, what can I do".

So, guys! Please save Earth anyhow you can. Recycle, car pooling, whatever it takes that can contribute even the least.
