oh yah. 7.45pm, on the way to hall. just left serangoon i think. i must remember to bring the vga adaptor back or i’ll live to regret it. sigh. actually left with the other scholars today and it’s rare that i get to talk to them. they apparently went to punggol plaza again. i dunno, i just dun fit into their batch. maybe it was a blessing in disguise that i took the very far away bench from the rest. i did up the staff room seating plan and passed to augustine (not before combining the last 7 tables under H) i think it will help him in planning tables, if only we can be assured that all unassigned tables are empty enough to be used. think ms tao’s storage table.

today was a good day. i didnt teach, but i felt very chirpy. maybe i just like administration work better, or maybe i just bounced back after severely feeling depressed yesterday. the reflection with mr yeo turned out more hopeful than i thought, not that he said very much positive things, but somehow when i try to list out what i did wrong, it didnt feel that bad anymore. there were some mistakes, sure, but they didnt feel like they were enough to pull me down.

i feel like playing ff12. but i’m already on the way to hall.

and, i spoke to almost all the remaining teachers about the exchange video project. now i have a few things outstanding.
1. execute the ceremony on monday
2. brief the participants on the video project.
3. borrow the dvd camera from mr yeo, together with accessories
4. prepare the portion that will portray the school.
5. monitor the 4 boys doing filming.
6. compile the video within a day, or consistently.
7. check whether we can film the music lessons.

time to plan the video contents. last we said:
1. 20 seconds opening, introduce the school
2. 40 seconds from the opening ceremony
3. 60 seconds from the classes (PE, Art, M
4. 60 seconds from the excursions (NE style, but photos only)
5. 40 seconds from CCA attachments
6. 15 seconds featuring mind games
7. 45 seconds miscellaenous shots from whereever
8. 20 seconds credits with candid shots

shit i havent arranged for CCA attachment filming. read: going solo. oh yah today is friday the 13th. i also sent in my notes for separation techniques, only to realise that the printing room is busy trying to print out class test papers for next week. mdm hoon very stressed. and then i thought i will be teaching 1E2 on monday then ms yue came and tell me i cannot because i’m involved in the opening ceremony. so sad. i prepared very hard wor! okay lah decent. but i thought i was being much more efficient than the first time round. maybe one day when there are enough school teachers, we will have more time to prepare for our class teaching, and less admin work. the day may not be so far away after all,

tired. next stop harbourfront. then a bus trip to behind pgp and then start work. mingen dunno die already or not... but i think if i can argue and convince fushan to just do straight paperwork and no fancy stuff, then the job will be much much easier. let’s see how it goes. i just hope we dun fall asleep working out the details. braindead. augustine was obviously braindead today, and so was i, you could just see it in the discussion when we went around circles unable to resolve anything. i never confirmed the communications plan with him, so i have no idea who i’ll be talking to over the radio on monday. sigh. reach mrt liao.
