Ah...end of term. It's almost like the sweet release of death. Having no civics class, and hence not a formal ST for PW, I was not expected to be an assessor either. Which means I have practically nothing to do from now on, even though my colleagues are still in the final lap of PW.

The usual onslaught of level, departmental and school level meetings make up the most of my the last week of the term. I was retained (literally) in JC1, just as I expected, which would mean that I can look forward (bleh) to CT-ship and PW ST-ship next year. And of course another committee/ CCA, now that my period of "immunity" is over and I have to take on a full teacher's load.

Being so free, I found time to keep myself entertained even during weekdays. KTV with fellow teachers. Two movies in one week (both of which suck). With such a thin plot and lacklustre cast, Sinking of Japan was barely tolerable. At least it was in Japanese and I can use it as an opportunity to practice my listening (just trying to console myself on (my friend's) bad movie choice). If it was the Sinking of any other country I would probably cuss and swear throughout the movie. (COme to think of it I already was).

Deathnote..........yah some went ooh and aah over it, but having read the comics already I was less than impressed. I was amused that the people they found to act as those peripheral characters resemble the drawn version so accurately. I couldn't remember theirs names (like I say they are peripheral) but one look at the face I remember that he or she is going to die. Deathnote is one of those comics which do not know when to end. (Conan is another one. Although I buy each issue faithfully, I am always in a state of disgust after I have read them.) The first few books were actually pretty good, then the story got so convoluted and complicated that by the time the newest issue came out I had to re-read the previous issues to understand the plot. (Not exaggerating!) By the 11th book I seriously think even some of my university econs textbooks are lighter reading materials. The 12th and final installment lays unread on my shelf. I had bought it and actually couldn't bring myself to read it.

Hmmm...Yew Liang implored me to blog about his class. EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM. And then I have two other classes. I guess I would, but it's really a formidable task, having just wrote comments for all my students into their profile. I'll get down to it, I guess, say, when I need to take break from Guild Wars. =p
