Wow..I have never been so busy ..not even when writing my Honours Thesis! Had back-to-back assignments for the past week...and with my grandfather's funeral I barely had time to finish them, had to ask for extension for some of them. Hmm..now that the NIE term has ended, I'll just be waiting for Practicum to start (20 Feb).

In fact I just came back from GMSS, went down to meet the CTs and get my timetable. Teaching all express classes(or rather, Faith classes..GMSS name their Express, N(A) and N(T) classes as Faith, Hope and Joy respectively)...Sec 1 EL. Sec 2 Maths, Sec 3 EL. Had quite a good impression of the place, although the school was rather cramped since they are using a temporary building while waiting for their former building to be renovated. The poor teachers have to make do with very small cubicles in their staff room..and there was just no more space for us (8 trainee teachers at one go!) ..so we are all just going to squeeze in the pantry. Heehee quite okay lah..the fridge, the coffee machine, the microwave oven..all just next to me. =)

Hmm..I think I will like the place. All the best for my practicum!!

Chinese New Year has come...and gone. Well for a while we weren't sure if we were going to be celebrating because my grandpa is in a critical condition in the hospital. Doctors told us to be prepared for the worst. Well new year has passed and he's still in the hospital but his condition has worsened.

There's only one more week of school before I get a one week break. Hurrah..it has been a rather busy term. Then it will be 10 weeks of practicum. Posting will be out this Saturday..but I'm no longer eager to know where I am going..it's like..just tell me when you are ready to tell me, I'm sick of all the anticipation. Congrats to Calbin though, who already knew his posting and it is where he wanted to go. ;)
