had the last of my lessons last week. but i still have piles of marking and collation of class participations marks await me.
anw, i got seriously "violated" last friday. i thought when naiying and gang getting giggly upon seeing the blue badge was bad enough. kids nowadays are worse.
my girls group hugged me suddenly and almost suffocated me to death. just imagine me being forcibly hugged by 10 over girls at the same time. and one of them went, "ooh, u smell so nice!" and everyone hugging me started smelling me. oh man, I'M NOT A PAPER STRIP SPRAYED WITH SAMPLES OF PERFUME.
then an hour later, a girl frm other class whacked me on my butt. LIKE HELLO?! i don't think my butt was screaming, "COME WHACK ME!" then. i had to threaten them with their conduct grades to get them to stop it.
i was just so terribly distraught for a moment, esp when i'm not the super touchy sort who goes around the whole school offering hugs to people. eeks, it's either cos A) i'm not strict enough to command respect from them; B) they love me too much (ha ha, i seriously doubt so); C) they're too liberal for my taste.i know they're just playing a fool. but i think it's a little too much. it's a thin line between expressing friendliness and being too friendly for their own good. and they're crossed the line. i'm not really angry, but more of appalled by their actions. anw, i'm not really very close to them to start with (i see them for only 17 hours in 5 months)this shows that i'm getting old and there's a generation gap in terms of the mindset and values. (me being born in the 80s and them being born in the 90s)TOUCH ME AGAIN AND I'LL MAKE SURE U FAIL FOR UR CONDUCT GRADE
anw, something rather trivial and amusing. someone with a not so good singing voice was singing for the past few days during mid-day prayers. everytime it was in the midst of my lessons and i was trying very hard to control my laughter each time round (well, it's a bad example to set to laugh in front of the kids). for today's excursion, i was in the same bus as her and well, i was desperately trying to distract myself with my markings while ade loh was laughing in another bus. wad a great future psychologist; laugh at her very first test subject.
i have great affinity with the person.
