Currently @ West Coast Park's Macs.

Finished my Mac Spicy meal and marked all test and "finished" looking through the Homework of 3E4.....only 8 handed in and out of the 8, 6 never do corrections...So like wat i always do...Dun mark and make them do it after school then I'll mark.

Resting on this wonderful Sun and dunno what to do. Quite lost actually. Wanna play COH(Company of Hero) But dun think they are free. hehe....So decided to be just by myself and recollect abt my past and plan for my future.

Maybe Blogging will help. heh... Wanna buy the Nokia 6110...But my silly contract not up yet. Haiz... Who ask me to dropped my phone last time...Haiz.... It has the GPS function...Road Map and such....Cool man... But maybe I shld be patient and wait. Think that will be better.

Some of my Darlings in 3E4 are starting to move in the right direction already. Feel so happy. Hope they will be doing even better than others but the end of this year. Some have probs of their own and I hope I'm able to be of help. Feel like their "Big Brother" or something. Oh, CS, Luqman and Jason are the tops in Maths these days. Dalton followed closely, even Weida starts to pass liao... YEah!!!! As for the girls...They might need more attention from me i guess cos not alot doing well. Some deproving. Maybe its the time where they trying to find their identity. Usually these times....Sec 3. My old friends also have changes during these times. But guess its a passing phase. Need to be there for them and if they need help be ready to do wat Doremon do....Shen Chu Yuan Shou. hehehe...

Ok then...Time to recollect my past...Will update again soon.... Mr Tan will be back on blog more often....heh...God bless all.

Its time I do wat I preach.

I've been living in a world where I always hope others will do things to their full potential. But everytime I manage to help some one...I look back and ask myself. Did I put in my full potential also?

Most will know that i'm a Jack of all trades but Master of None. I try and try in almost everything but I'm never really super good at it. In the end, my life and r/s keep getting into trouble. This time round I do hope to do something really diff. Something which I want to do be the best in.I do hope God will help me in this. And this will also help my students to see... that nothing is impossible if u really work hard for it and push urself to ur limit.

God bless all and see ya in school.

A New Frontier

New Term New Problems New Things to be Proud of.

3E4.....I Love you all!!!!! Really, Cos I see that the class is growing to be more mature le. I have Few who are getting into the study mood already. Some starting to learn better and most starting to ask questions and being concern abt their work. Some became SL and look more stylo already.
Work are still late but most complete doing them and Yes...test getting better. Some of them's attitude getting better also. Hope they will really become outstanding young ppl oif dunearn.

Praise aside... New problems have surfaced. They are getting slightly easily irritated by stuff or events. some have personal problems that's some phase ppl face. BGR, Peer pressure and finding their Identities. I do hope these will not affect them too much and also will help them to grow even stronger

Monday is racial Harmony day. Was thinking of either dressing up like indian or western cowboys.But oh well... will see wat i have in my house.I like to dress up for the occasion.Like Halloween, I would like to dress up like Count or some monster...heh...

Kenrick has asked me to join him in an indian dance... any takers? anyone wanna join him? My bones are aching but guess shld be ok to dance. need two more...maybe CS.. LOL...

Was quite upset yesterday as I saw a display of Seniors and Juniors type of scene. where your previous seniors treat u lousy and ask u do all the work and now its the juniors' turn to do it. Quite upsetting to see such culture.But when will it ends and stops no one knows. As a teacher we would really like it that sometimes the seniors will be sensible to help out when its like only 3 juniors doing the job. But guess it a growing up phase. I was once bullied by seniors also...Do all sort of work. But I never treat my juniors the same way cos I know how sad it can be. and it will not help the team.

Ok then... Time to rest...And Hey miss stone... I've blogged liao:P hahaha....Thank her for asking me to blog... cos keep forgetting i've got a blog le. Byebye

God bless to all students.

Oops I spelt Kenrick wrongly. Ok.. sorry about that. Hmmm.. wat give u the idea that all of the spammer was u... there are more ppl than that. just that most of them or all of them u know who they are. But that's not impt I guess. As for bernice. Guess Pei zhen never finish telling u more of what i've said to her and all u can do is jump to conclusion and thats it. well Go ahead ba. since most ppl only like to listen to half-truth and start to judge ppl based on that. Oh, Forgot to tell u. I dun wish to have u writing in my blog and bernice Lim too.... maybe u did not read properly. this blog is only for those who are interested in me not for those who dun give a care of who i am. And bernice Lim... Please stay away and stop disturbing other's blogs.
This will be the last blog that i'm gg to address to you. I'm not looking for popularity. Cos I never like to be popular. But I just dun understand why u need to tell me no one likes me. I really dun mind if no one likes me. I'm here to teach and help those who wish to be helped and that's all. And by the way, I will be taking my tagboard away. For its teaching alot of my students bad language and manners. Since this blog, like i said is for ppl who wants to come and read abt me... then they will just come.... No need tagboard to entice them. No need tagboard to spoil so many ppls' mood. and Get so many ppl involve in this matter. This Fri I will be in school but not all the time cos I'm having my own impt things to attend and such. If u really dun mind waiting then might as well see me tomorrow. Shld be free after 5 and will be easier time for there's not much ppl ard. and since u say its just you and me then it will be good if its just outside the basketball court's wooden tables. If u wish to bring all ur "family" I dun mind either. but hope u will be the only one talking.Because its quite disturbing if many ppl try to get ideas across.
Oh by the way ...Best if u can get my 3E4 students to come... since it concerns them too. for they really treat u as a good friend.
Thats all. I need to go mark my books. My students' future is more impt than this. I presume u will agree that their future is impt. And its God who gives unconditional Love, not me... I'm only trying...
God bless all and take care

To Kendrick

Thsi is address to u. So maybe U can read it and start to show ur anger again. Maybe from my 3E4 students, you've found out that I dun reallylike them to stick ard u. And Yes I really dun. Not becos I hate you or watsoever but I do feel you are wasting ur talent and smartness and you are also dragging ppl like Oswa and some others to be like you. Maybe that wasn't ur intention but they look up to u like a brother or good friend and they do so call follow ur footsteps or examples.
Some of them are really smart and some are well mannered but they've changed. Cos you've changed and since they look up to u.. they changed to be like u. I dun care if anyone were to kill my blog or wack me or do anything to me , But I feel I've to say these. Get anyone to come look at this blog. I do not mind. I did my best to get to know more abt you and all info i get from your previous classmates were, You're once a good kid, but... during sec 2 or something..you've changed. I do not know wat happened or who have changed u...maybe u've gone through some bad times and just so nice my "ex-students" outside have a chance to come and comfort u and give you friendship. That maybe why you feel they are right and there's no point in gg express and do well anymore.
I might be wrong cos these are what i feel and think.Maybe you could enlighten me. But in the mean time. If you are not helping my students to behave well or study hard so as to have a brighter future then please stay away from them instead of me telling them to stay away from you. That will make u sound bad. Cos if you really do care for them then pls think of their future. If you do care for them then pls start to change urself also so next time I can tell them :" please join kendrick cos he has changed and he's a good influence." For I believe you have it still in you but you need to find it.
By the way, I will never be a sage or saint. but i'm always trying to work towards that. And pls do look for me rather than disturbing my blog where its for my students who are intterested to read rather than those who just wanna create trouble in here. And Thanks for owning up finally so I do not have to give ur IP for making use of other's names. I've been keeping track of IPs and it will be easy for me to file a report actually.But I dun wish to do this for I feel there's good left in everyone of you. Once again Thanks if you actually bother to read till here.

God bless

Hate and Love...

First I will address to the spammer issue.Its ok for him to just spam for maybe that's the only way he or she is able to release some stress rather than commit sucide or do silly things... so keep it coming.Better than u go disturb others... disturb me=) it would be better.

Secondly,Today's milk run was really fun.Got dunk by Mr Koh. Joe was the one that got me into this=P Was quite fun cos I got to dunk Mr Koh back...That was fun. Wanted to get JunHao but he ran away and Mr. Rani too. heh....The carnival itself was quite fun in a way. And the SL did quite a good job. The run itself got me to remember my sec time. So fun and sweet.

Life is like this. We really need to take a step back and think abt it so as not to make decisions that will harm others or urself and u are able to enjoy life fuller. Well...I had a great day thinking and playing... So its time to rest and yeah! I love U all Dunearn students. So nice to have u all as my students.Just make sure u study hard ok=)

God bless
