Work, Study, or do Nth....

It's bk to that time again... every now and den.. u'll cum across tat stupid crossroad... and haf to decide which way to turn... now tat i'm approaching July 2005, wif my contract ending... i'm faced with the dilemma once again....

As some of you know... I've been with Deyi Sec as a Library Officer for almost 2 yrs nw... and tis past yr had been a hard one... especially when P is new, VP is newer and cums another in-charge who's NEW to teachin.... -_-" everything tat was once a teacher's job landed into my ever increasing job scope... plus, with P and VP tryin to beautify their own portfolio, to gain promotions later on, they are also pressin down hard on the teachers and me to work on the library area and invite more students to visit the library and create a 'happening' atmosphere

struggling to work with datelines and creating new ideas, plus the usual work load... things haf never been the same...

Crashed and burnt

Juz came back from a briefing as a tuition co-ordinator..

u noe... those tat are often published in the papers.... stating it home-based, earn $$ and all tat stuff... haf always wondered what the heck its all abt... juz a couple days ago.. i saw one tat was located juz 5 mins bus ride away.. den i thought... y nt... juz call up and c wat's e whole deal abt it...

so.... tis is it... u SIGN UP as a member... make use of a DATABASE full of tutors, tat they haf built up already, and wah la.... u wait for ur money to roll in... no lah.. nt so easy... u got to FIND ur own students for the tutors... and after a match, u collect 50% of the first month's tuition fee from the tutor... it so happen also tat this mangaer of the agency was a ex-teacher in Deyi... and he's so interested in roping me in after he knows i'm still at Deyi... kinda feel cheated... but as all things are... small money nt out... big money nv rolls in...

Nah... i din join them... still considering though... but NOPE I DIN PAY anything or sign anything..

Still, tis ain nothin... it was oni when I called home after realising tat I had a missed call... My dad had to tell me tat the NUS letter was HERE.... he was so excited and 'beg' to open it up... "watever... juz open lor.." i said... and my batt went flat...but in my heart i knew wat was the result...

"So, how was it?" i asked when i reached home.. my dad had to turn ard and gave me tis sad look... "Din make it, guess it's really hard to get in nowadays..."
At tat moment, it did hurt a little... disappointed i guess... for not makin it... thinkin m i tat bad in studies or is it juz becoz of the positions available were too minimal n tat NUS too strict in their requirements...
anyway... my dad asked if i was going to try again next year... i shaked my head... and said forget it.. i'm not reali tat keen on going back to studies anyway.. not nw at least... or mayb it's juz tat it's no point since i've left my chance behind... 3 years ago.. and tat chance is nv coming back again...

sigh... got to go back to packin up... and get my stuff together for my trip... :> watever it is can wait till i'm back from my trip :> i'm gonna enjoy myself first...

Headache, Tummyache, brain dead.....

First thing in the mornin and I had to face the Sec 4 NA students.... playing around the lib... messing ard and playin with the computers which they are not suppose to in the first places....

wonder what the teachers are doing..... chatting with one another, if not marking their papers.... they're suppose to be here to guard the students from messing ard and yet they're closing both eyes as to what they are doing.... argh....

last friday, i already had a hard time cleaning up the library after the mess created by the NT students.... 3 full hours juz to tidy the shelves.... and now all these again... -_-"

i really suspect if i can really manage to tahan till end july... it feels like a waste to drop it all now plus my hard earned bits of bonus.... yet looking at these monkeys everyday.... i felt like surrendering all at once.....

reali reali lookin forward to my trip..... so i can stay away for the week..... away from all these freaks....
