It's the end of the 3rd day at East Spring Sec, having endured a long and boring assembly session at the warm and cramped school hall. I have just been extended for another 7 days, till the teacher comes back from her operation. Heard that she have had some complications with her illness.
Meanwhile, the teacher sitting closest to me is suffering from back injury and another is having fluid in his foot that causes pain when he is standing. Haiz... why are so many people suffering from the myriads of occupational illnesses these days?
Sorry for having digressed... anyway...The 3 days have passed quickly, and I have had an interesting experience at the school. So far, I have allowed my students to eat outside the library (which was strictly prohibited and the students were scolded by a senior teacher in front of me... haha... I have been too lenient with them and they love me a lot... muahahaha... " 'Cher, sorry hor... Next time will not get you into this sort of trouble again..." ); witnessed a so-called 'cat-fight' in my would-be-in-charge-of class and a mock fight in my own class. Let me make myself clear--- it's only a MOCK fight--- one that you would have seen in army camp bunks and in school last time when you was a student. I had to order the "attacking" students back to their seats so that only then the one being "bashed up" would be willing to get his butt back on his seat as well. But, as I have oredi stated, this is only a small matter, not that there are any serious problems so far, and I hope I won't run into any of those in the coming days I would be stationed at the school.
