Smile

Today, Moh Sern from 4S5 asked me a startling question,

Moh Sern: Teacher, do you hate this class?

If you have read my previous post entitled 'Revenge', of course, the obvious answer would be

Me: Yes.

Instantly, I could see that he was very disappointed.

Then he asked me,

Moh Sern: If you hate this class, how come you can keep smiling when teaching us?

Well, I did not answer him because I also don't know the answer, lol. Do I really hate them? Hmmm... I've been stuck with 4S5 ever since the first day I'd arrived at Kwang Hua. From Civic to Physics, 4S5 is the class that I had spent the longest time with. And frankly speaking, at the moment, 4S5 is the only class where I could remember each student's name.

So, do I hate 4S5? I must say.... I don't know.

Nevertheless, I guess smiling is brian aka choppy's way of life. Smile or frown, life goes on. I choose to smile. =)

Accused

I was walking towards 3P today to substitute an absent teacher and while passing through 3Q, a student walked out of the class to 'greet' me even though Pn. X is inside. Please take note that the student walked out of the class on his own will and I had no intention to call him out or even talk to him. As I was aware that there was a teacher in class, I immediately ordered him back into class. But he was reluctant and insisted to stay outside. So, Pn. X stormed out of class and scolded the boy. I left them alone and hurried into 3P.

Later that day, as I was passing through the teacher's office, Pn. X stormed right infront of me and confronted me in front of all the other teachers. She started yelling at me, "Why you go and call the student out to talk to him? This is not the first time this had happened! You always do this and disrupt my class!"

I stare at her in disbelief. But since the other teachers were looking, I did not want to turn this into a big issue. Hence, I just told her that I did not call the student out and quickly rushed into 5S1 as I was already late for class. What she told to the other teachers, I don't know. And I don't give a damn.

If I remembered correctly, when she scolded the 3Q student, she mentioned, "How dare you walk out of class while I'm standing there like a bloody fool?" Well, guess what? Judging from the fact that you would actually go frenzy in a public area and start making baseless accusation, it shows that you truly ARE a bloody fool. And a pathetic one too.

As an experienced teacher, how could you have just made a baseless accusation and confronted me right infront of so many other people? If you were to discuss this with me in a private area, I could have explained myself. But it seems now that there is no point explaining to an absurd-minded fool. How shameful and imagine the bad example that the teacher is giving to the other pupils.

"Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience"

Anyway, it isn't my fault that you failed at class-control. It's not my fault that the student walked out of class on his own will. For example, a Malaysian citizen decides to forfeit his nationality and joins Singapore because he finds Singapore much more attractive. Do you see Malaysian government declaring war on Singapore? Come on-lah, Phua Chu Kang would be the first to laugh at you.
Use your brain, use your brainnnn!
p.s. Just because you're a permanent teacher does not give you the rights to intimidate temporary teachers like us. We're all trying our best as well to contribute to the school except, of course, you.

Another perfect example not to judge a person by his/her cover. =D

Mr Choppy?

I was taking my usual nap this afternoon and was abruptly interrupted by a phone call. As much as I hate people bugging my sleep, I try my best to greet every phone call with courtesy.

So, with a slothful tone,

Choppy: Hello....

Unknown: Hello. Can I speak to Mr Chooppy?

Oh great, must be one of those prank calls by Hogzai or Kui or somebody else equally childish ( Yes, Hog you are childish =D ) ..... Wait a minute, it's a girl's voice! My brain froze.

Ok, maybe I heard it wrongly.

Choppy: Huh?

Unknown: Is this Mr Chooppy?

I was totally stunned and had no idea what to reply. Then my brain neurons started going into a rampage trying to sort out the situation. I couldn't recall any girl who would call me Mr Choppy.... Holy cow, a student?! Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

Choppy: Yes speaking....May I know who is this?

Unknown: Good afternoon Mr Chooppy. This is Sara from True Fitness ..... your number chosen .... free pass...Pavillion ....bla bla bla bla bla

I'm sorry I wasn't listening because I was totally in a LOL-moment! Where in the world did she get my number from?! I mean, usually calls like this would ask for your name before they start blabbering away on their promotion or what-so-ever. This call however instantly identifies me as Mr Choppy ... did she like got it from facebook or something? LOL

Anyway, this is the first time a stranger actually addresses me as Mr Choppy. What could this mean? Should I start introducing myself as Choppy instead of Chow Fu? Is the name Choppy ready to go global? Ponder ponder....truly a 100% LOL-moment, haha.

p.s. I wasn't very happy that she pronounced it as Chooppy rather than Choppy =/ She made it sound like 'pig's skin' in mandarin.

Choppy,
