and so the 3 day relief teaching thing turned into a 3 week babysitting stint. it's been welcoming. a little in excess at times. the kids have been noisy and nasty. well, and sometimes they really mindfuck me bad. but i do think there's more than just academic excellence (or compliance) to a student. so yeah, the many boys and girls here are just cute beings who play deviant.

i had the most monotonous day. had to sit in some design and technology class. and i was so free and bored i was amused at the simplest thing. like all the tools and crafts and models the students are working on. like there was this back massage thing (was very tempted to try though it didn't seem to work too well). hmm and i realise the class is pretty well equipped. and it's like a neighbourhood school. tsk tsk. the Singapore norm is well others' luxury.

maybe that explains the Singapore competitiveness. even the UK has just commented that their GCSEs are just a watered-down thing of the O Levels. but i hate it when the economy here is doing good, especially when it's too good for my own good. like how rents and living expenses have all gone up, except my allowance (which might not even come). some things shouldn't stay the same man.
