112 isn't a very nice number.
In any case, if you were wondering what am I doing, I am doing nothing. Currently in CCHY waiting for my period to begin and I refuse to read. Too tired to read so I thought Imight as well voice my opinions about somethings. I better write some proper English before I lose my ablity to write anythign in grammatically correct English after marking ATROCRIOUS English that made me question whether my English was the one which had problems to begin with.
But anyhows, i was done with marking.
So heck!

I think Secondary School are easier to teach than Primary School. As I told to Esther, tthere isn't that much responsblity tagged to Sec Sch kids than to Primary School kids. I mean if those 14 year old, 16 year old kids don't want to study, what can I do? Whereas for Primary School students, even if they don't study, you have to FORCEthem to. Honestly, disclipine isn't my thing. I like to teach, I like the process of teaching and I like seeing students understanding concepts but screaming and shouting at them is not. Like what one of my collegues said, peopel like me should teach the better schools of I will die. I think I agree with him. I enjoy intellectual discourse than moral lessons.
But in any case, I guess I am staying in there till end of the school term (next week) without much real teaching to do (horray). It was be good for my pocket and to understand the work of real full time teachers. =)

I got fired from a tutition job.
But I don't care. Technically I resigned as well. But since they fire me first, so yea. I mean on the surface it looks horrendous I would prefer to believe that God has answered my prayer. I mean this family i teach them twice a week for 3 hrs in one go and I ONLY get 250. My gawd. I earn 18/hr for my theother family. My 2 Sec sch kids give me 25 an hr. See the difference? And in any case, if the kids really need help or something then perhaps I would still do it. But damn it. They don't even care abotu their studies. They refuse to do homework. They have no assessment books and I don't even think they want me to buy for them (they aren't that rich either). I mean seriously I am underpaid and given such kids. *rolls eyes*
Moreover, the mother sucks. She has this list of demands and all and EXPECTS me to fulfil them. Well, the chief problem is with the kid. With HER kid. I mean she actually said there is no need for tuition in the June Hols (before this whole getting fired incident that is) and I was appalled! COME ON. June = Catch up. You can study LESSER but you can't STOP studying. With parents like that, do you think the kid will do well? HELL NO. You reap what you sow.
Now she complains that I dozed off during class. A)I was real tired. B) I was BORED by you darned kid who did nothing. Imagine staring at a kid do work in front of you under the fan. C) I replaced my dozed off times. So if I replace it that means it's fair, RIGHT? BITCH.
Anyway, the key pt here is they don't pay me enough and they suck up so much of my time. 10 per hr, GOSH. Relief teaching pays me more. Yes I suffered like hell the past two days, but look, here I am slacking. I get my money back. 65 for 5.5hrs.

Okay back from all these nonsense. Decided to stay on for a while and then go for my 7 o clock tuition immediately from school. Well, afterall if I go home i stay for like 2 hrs then must wear new clothes --> Mum's gonna scream that she has to do extra laundry for me. Well, the best part is that there is free aircon and free com to use. *smiley*
Anyhows, tomorrow I am not needed for relief since the kids are going for some sports carnival thingy. So I am free. Shopping anyone? HEHE. But I ain't that rich, need for the pay to come flowing in.

Oh and now I am at the main point of the reason why I had this post. This dumb Elle girl on Winglin who thinks she is damned good because she is a law student. In my words,I think she's a sore loser because we gave her a super lousy review. And then again, it wasn't THAT lousy by MT standards.I have decided to stop commenting on her because she is just NOT worth my time. it's pretty obvious all she wants is attention, so why should I give her what she craves when I don't like her. I am bitchy, no? But live with it! Gosh. Everyone should just move on, the arguement is getting stupid . Those people who started the arguement have already shut up, it seemed that some passer bys are simply taking this chance to just get into the fun. I found taht pretty distasteful. I like junnie's approach. Eithet she apologises or we blacklist her, end of story. What for waste so much time? Time and energy.
And this shoutout goes to Shattered if she is reading my blog. Like what Kel said, because we selected you, we will back you up. This is the Mt family spirit. If you are part of our family, your business is our business. We don't like people bullying ourreviewer gets their way! Don't be upset kay. If Kel and I are around, we will make sure you are safe xD
Oh and to those idiots who think we are ganging up against Elle : We are doing this of our own accord, as a friend. Don't ever say that MT people are bullies. I tell you what's the difference between bullies and defense. Bullies start the fight. Defenders DEFEND as the name suggest.
I hope that Elle girl and her supporters just stop all the nonsense!
