Concert blues

I guess everytime around concert period things like to clash together. Dunno about you all but everytime concert is near, my life is like hell. Last year I fretted over ticket sales (Yanhong, I can empathised with you totally) and office politics at work. This year around, I keep getting sick and many things happening again at the same time. I do hope that the seating arrangement this time around will be better. (Hope zhonghu wun get to sit directly infront of the conductor again...)Only 4 practices left and my skills still suxs! (Why are there so many'diaos' in a piece of music? Change 'diaos' till I gave up and stick to the same 'diao' throughout. :p) Worse, I cant find people to buy tickets from me. (*Apologetic look*) I know everyone of us has our own sort of problems, but I just need to ramble to let some bad gas out.......

报应

昨天骂了三班的学生，晚上练习时，和友人“炫耀”一番，今天拿MC。是不是报应？从新年前就咳嗽到现在，这个礼拜尤其严重，教书教到一半就咳个不停，不知学生会不会回家跟妈妈complain: 'My teacher come school and spread germs to us.'其实从开学至今，也没真正骂学生骂得凶，只是声音大声来“吓”他们。可是我过渡的放纵使到他们藐视我的“权威”，功课乱写、改正一直做错、上课时在那乱讲话，甚至把自己当成我的friend,叫我“大头老师”。（我自知自己头大，whether you believe or not, when they say it, I really dont mind, but I dont think you can say it so straightforwardly to a teacher like that.)当他们摸清了“大头老师”的底细后，发现原来老师是那么容易'forgive and forget' type，大声已经没用了。课室管理不够狠因为我不是个狠角色。‘狠’不存在在我字典里。对手无寸铁的小孩“耍狠”好像很不人道。如今大声吓人的技量对我的喉咙造成严重的伤害。（我已经咳了两个礼拜，差点就气管炎了。）奉劝想踏进教书这门槛的人，对学生要够狠。不要停留在从前小学生听到老师大声就害怕得在那发抖的刻板印象，现在的小一生有很多的想法，他们会问你：牛为什么会有牛奶？（我直接叫他们去图书馆找书看。）所以你不止要琴棋书画，样样精通，还要上知天文，下知地理，还有biology要了得。当然，一狠你就会失去了了解他们的机会。你要做朋友还是做老师，自己去斟酌吧！Hmm....或许该威胁一下我的学生，谁不做作业，就跟我买一张票！

梁老师

haha, 读了梁老师您四篇周记，可见课室里的小学生们的确让人头疼。不过我觉得你应该感到安慰。因为学生们会问你是否他们画得美、 会告诉你他们肚子饿了、会找你帮忙开水壶盖、甚至会为你而感到不值。可见你在他们的心目中有如好友一般，所以不论需要他人意见或是有何难题都会来向你请教。

当然学生们有时候会把你气得立断千根神经， 但这也是因为年龄的差别吧。逼近他们在思想与个人观念方面还未成熟。hmmm, 所以我觉得做教师的责任重大 eh.... 尤其是在教小学生， 更是考验自己的耐心及精神， 难上加难。So Lallang..... 加油!!!

故事一小则

一直以为那群“死鬼”不懂人情事故，直到今天。。。。。。“老师”一位学生上来交作业时对我说,“我真不明白XXX同学的妈妈是怎么教他的？对老师那么没礼貌。”说完，他就走回去他的座位，留下一个被“煞”到的老师。真“酷”的学生。心底"暗爽"了一下.孺子可教......突然间,真想紧握他的手,拥抱他.问他:"Do you want to be my pet?"
