As much as I dislike shopping, I found myself in Orchard today with my good friend Elaine.
Why would any1 want to walk 10 km, rest and walk again is beyond my comprehension. Its not like we are the 3 Wise Men. At least they had a baby to look forward to! Not to mention they know their goal, instead of wandering around like a man using a spoilt compass (sounds like Capt Jack Sparrow eh)
But I really like to thank Elaine. She did not complain one bit as I led her on a scavenger hunt which took us from wisma to Taka to Tangs to heeren. And some of the clothes are chosen by her. I deferred to her taste as I have no clue abt clothes.
Espanyol Princesa sent me a book today. Its my bdae pressie. Jodi Picoult's "My sister's keeper". I shall read it tml. And that was accompanied by a very nice card. Thanks babe!
Ok bak to the shopping trip. I saved $20 today cuz a lady graciously lent me her Espirit membership card. Phew. See I got charm right? Flashing my mega watt smile. LOL. And Elaine, not to be outdone, bought everything except the thing she set out to buy. LOL. Elaine this gives u excuse to go shopping again right? Sly ger!
Thats abt the end of my trip. Short, but then I've never been much of a shopper. Haha =)

Monfortians, esp my batch, are a bunch of ruffians! That's what I surmised after the 2 hour chat me and my old mates had. We filled condoms with water, we had started a recess-time casino in my class, we shouted fuck you right in the muddle of lessons, we bullied people, we fought, we had basically, a f***ing good time! And we were supposed to be the creme de la crop. LOL. now we've grown up, and yea its fun to reminisce about the times when we were just puerile and pugnacious little bastards.
Holy terrors lol, and I really feel sorry for my old teachers. Miss Ong, Mr Cheng, lol. Damn, but I shall receive the backlash from my karma soon ;)

Good teachers:
are good at explaining things. Do you like to explain how something works, or how something happened? Being comfortable with explaining content to students is an essential skill for teachers.
keep their cool. There will be times when you will be tempted to scream or yell at your students, other teachers, parents, administrators, and so on. Good teachers are able to successfully resist this urge.
have a sense of humor. Research has consistently shown that good teachers have a sense of humor, and that they are able to use humor as part of their teaching methods. Humor, used properly, can be a powerful addition to any lesson.
like people, especially students in the age range in which they intend to teach. Most teachers choose an area of specialization such as elementary education, special education, secondary education, or higher education because they have a temperament for students in those age ranges. If you are not comfortable working with young children, don't major in elementary education!
are inherently fair-minded. They are able to assess students on the basis of performance, not on the students' personal qualities.
have "common sense." It may sound a bit corny, but good teachers are practical. They can size up a situation quickly and make an appropriate decision. Whether managing a classroom, leading students on a field trip, seamlessly shifting from one instructional procedure to another, assigning detentions, supervising an intern, or dealing with policy and curriculum issues in the school, there is no substitute for common sense.
have a command of the content they teach. For elementary school teachers, that means having knowledge of a broad range of content in sufficient depth to convey the information in meaningful ways to the students. For secondary school teachers, it usually means having an in-depth command of one or two specific content areas such as mathematics or biology.
set high expectations for their students and hold the students to those expectations. If you are thinking about becoming a teacher, you should set high expectations for yourself, and demand excellence not only of yourself, but your students as well.
are detail oriented. If you are a disorganized person in your private life, you will find that teaching will probably be uncomfortable for you. At the very least, teachers must be organized in their professional and teaching duties. If you're not organized and are not detail oriented, teaching may not be the best choice of a profession for you.
are good managers of time. Time is one of the most precious resources a teacher has. Good teachers have learned to use this resource wisely.
can lead or follow, as the situation demands. Sometimes, teachers must be members of committees, groups, councils, and task forces. Having the temperament to function in these capacities is extremely important. At other times, teachers assume leadership roles. Be sure you are comfortable being a leader or a follower, because sooner or later, you will be called on to function in those roles.
