update
Amanda Val Ng is back from school and kicking mad!
She is upset with the day. The part on stonning which leads to inability to even compartmentalize her thoughts and get on with the program.
However,
She is thankful that she got through the noise, the available break periods that gave her grace.
The lovely children that helped her.
The kind weather that made it all easier to work with.
:D
So Amanda Val Ng
Is going to get her butt off the chair, socks higher up, wash up, cook,
and start on her SIM self-study and preparation for Observation tomorrow.
Amanda Val Ng is loving it, and cant imagine doing other job besides being a teacher.
Hallelujah!
:D
Be Bless
Love,
Amanda

Obama
Felt so Brain-Fried.
Woke up from my nap and I realize my brain is a wierd state.
You know the kind of feeling that you cant do serious work for a while. :D
Must have been the overdose of late night because of coming home late, and the intense preparation for the presentation/TMA today.
*Phew* thank God its over.
On top of that must be because I didnt blog for like wat 3days?
Its amazing how such deprivation of blogging can turn the mind into mush.
Guess its not surprising cos human beings need to communicate and let out their thoughts ba.
Think I'm addicted to blogging. :D
Jayden aka Nuffnang Xmas Party winner talks about that too. :D
Now let me check my phone to see if I had any topic that I wanted to blog about or not... (Besides Obama as promised)
-
Oh Got. "Position of Power, Would you still apologize then"
Think this is very subjective.
Cos was just in class, teaching, wanted the pupils to take out their exercise books to do some practises with me. Then this child, gave him instruction to get paper from the back of the room, I always had single sided rough paper at the shelves.
Saw him walk to the back, then a short while later, he was tearing paper from another exercise book.
So I was like. "Why are you doing this?" Cos I dont want them to develop the habit of just taking out an exercise book and tear paper from it.
"Dont have paper, no more already" replied my child.
"Come follow me! get paper from the back"
When I was there, checked, realize, Oh! the papers are gone. *in my mind I was thinking, "How could that be. Its always bountiful"
- Stop - this is the scenario. I am the one in authority, according to my acts there are sufficient rough papers cos I know where my worksheets go.
Given the situation, there really isnt in that Particular slot that I always put.
and I did Speak to my child in an unkind tone for a while.
What would this person in authority do?
*turns out one of my helpers actually swopped the slots*
I said "so you did come and look for papers." *found a piece of annoucement paper tt would do fine as well.* "Ms Ng's fault, nah, you can use this one." then smile at the child.
:D
Such an interesting thought isnt it.
Guess at the end of the day, A teacher does step down and apologizes, to let the pupil know that a teacher does apologize for their mistakes as well.
I'm not trying to show off that I am humble enough to apologize to my children.
Just wanted to express and trigger the thought.
What sort of Leadership role Disallow one to apologize then?
I think an emperor's one wouldnt allow.
Can you imagine an emperor apologize, the kind of impact he will have on his image, the kind of thoughts that his subordinates would have about his decisions from then forth.
Hmm... one of the previous US President apologize publically before, if I didnt remember wrongly, think it was accepted. Hows it like if Obama was placed in a situation that requires him to apologize? wOh!

On the Mean Street
"Finally, as you and I stand here today, know that there is a generation of children growing up on the mean streets and forgotten corners of this country who are slipping away from us as we speak. They walk down Corridors of Shame in rural South Carolina and sit in battered classrooms somewhere in East L.A.
They are overwhelmingly black and Latino and poor. And when they look around and see that no one has lifted a finger to fix their school since the nineteenth century; when they are pushed out the door at the sound of the last bell - some into a virtual war zone - is it any wonder they don't think their education is important? Is it any wonder they are dropping out in rates we've never seen before?
"I know these children.
"I know their sense of hopelessness.
"I began my career over two decades ago as a community organizer on the streets of Chicago's South Side. And I worked with parents and teachers and local leaders to fight for their future. We set up after-school programs and we even protested outside government offices so that we could get those who had dropped out into alternative schools."
I know, I am totally missing the point of this article. But somehow this extract had an impact on this educator in me.
Like I say in today's presentation,
Children, If you can empower them today, they can go a long way.
kk, thats all for now.
Happy Valentines day everyone! I'm gonna go watch "The other end of the line"

choices
:D
Tot I should post it up before it slipped off my mind.
Was just chatting with a friend over the phone. Was commenting how throughout the phone conversation the person seems to just be sending over loads of negative vibe and grumblings.
Tried to change the vibes of the conversation and got off the phone soon after.
Came to the realization that, Hey, if we take away the grumblings, would it still be a meaningful conversation?
Whats left?
Praises and good news for the day? (that IS meaningful)
random small talks? (thats well... could be a little superficial at times)
Would it be then grumbling has its good point as well? - To carry on a conversation thats on the topic on "hows your day" and it was really bad.
Whats left of a meaningful conversation if grumbling is taken away?
its like the humane touch is taken away isnt it?
:)
Could we get into a form of lifestyle and be trained up to not grumble?
Less Grumble, More Thankfulness?
Cos I guess we cant really completely take away all grumbleness.
:) I like the sound of that.
Grumbling is kind of like complaining.
The people of the God were going round and round the wilderness for 40years because they were complaining.
God! wheres water?
God! wheres meat?
God! where are you?
God! who are you?
God! did you take us out of Egypt to bring us here? We'll rather stay in Egypt!
*oh to be wiped and be slaves*
:X
Then again, God took them to the wilderness so they know WHO He is, instead of straight on to the Land of Milk and Honey where they know WHAT He can bless them with.
Kind of like us being on earth before reporting upstairs.
Where is God in my situation?
There He is, IN your situation.
Being able to see and know God in the wilderness before reaching the promise land.
The very breath that belongs to Him. :) Hallelujah!
How would it be like if Pastor has a gun and just shoot us at the altar when we go forth to receive salvation? :D
-
Was just trying to cross the road when a thought came onto my mind.
What would I do if I was knock down and unable to move my legs?
My reaction wasnt to call my love ones or my dad to inform them first.
But rather the school to tell them I'll be late for work or wouldnt be able to work for now. :D
the sense of responsibility that causes one to behave like that.
-
Took a magazine from the school library and left it on the classroom teacher's table.
used it as a paperweight for a while.
The kids that came by to my table to handup some stuff actually can recognize him.
Primary 2, about 8 years old :"OBAMA!"
they can tell me that.
Thats the power of media, I tell you.
Just the picture and the frequent mention of that name regardless of the amount of other sounds of him and his deeds. It got right into their heads.
Of course, none of them said "Barack Obama." or for that matter, "Osama" -_-"
Think I'm going to give my children a small talk about colors.
Read a real interesting quote on him from the magazine, will out it up after im done with my assignment tts due this Friday. :D

update
Went to school after prayer meeting today.
wah... energy level really low w/o interactions.
As a result, half a pile still waiting to be marked. :D
Was taking a break at the Staff Lounge when I noticed some people's reaction towards the chair placed in the middle thats blocking the pathway.
What would you do to get pass?
Would you try to suck it in and "squeeze" pass the chair,
Or would you shift the chair back to its position around the round table and walk through w/o difficulty?
not that its a big matter, but sometimes its these subtle things that one's character leak out.
By now, what you see in the picture is in-existance. :D Cos we're doing an upgrade.
Tts all for now~

Rose
Was just looking through some stuff when I got reminded of a thought.
Giving a girl a rose.
Its interesting the effect a simple rose has on me.
Comparing a simple rose to a gift that has no practical value, I actually prefer to get a rose.
Why? cos guys dont get roses? :D
It appeals to the emotions? :D
Food for thought~
Be Bless
