Teaching experience @ Mayflower Sec

Time is 30 July 2007, Time has passed and i taught at Mayflower Sec for quite some time, shld be my last job b4 i step into audit line now. The teaching experience there was not fantastic, preferably because i couldnt really get in touch with the students due to the short lessons, i end up only having some vague impression of the students, shant blog down the CMI students so tt i dun bring along these CMI memories with me in the future.

In this entry, shall blog down those impressionable students tt really made teaching quite enjoyable in Mayflower Sec. Basically, they are 2007: 1E, 2A, 1I, 2E, 2I. Out of all these, of cos i had the most vivid impression of 1E which is the class selected to do a showcase, which i did up a 2 min item for them within 5 periods of lesson, ie. 2 1/2 hrs only, from non-dancers to performers. This one i oso quite stunned by myself tt i could change them in such a short period of time. I did up 3 versions of the item for them to choose, basically - Pop by N'Sync + Music makes u lose control, Pop (remixed version by myself), or Throw it on me (By Timbaland) + Pop. In the end, the students opted the easy way out and chose Pop (remix version) so ok lor, my other efforts went to waste but alright lor, the dance steps not v difficult. So in the end, they put up a showcase, and tt almost marks the end of my session with Mayflower, since this week is the last week.

Anyway, something worth mentioning is that the TIC of this Artist-in-School program, Mr Lam, he is really a good teacher. He really super good la, committed etc, now NHDS is really cos lack of this type of teacher, tt's y so CMI. Nowadays the teachers just lack this type of passion which the elder senior teachers used to haf... Haiz.....

Back to topic, teaching experience at MF Sec is ok ba, due to the presence of these few classes & Mr Lam, my life there is still tolerable. =) Whatever the case, this may probably be my last job, so i shall be happy & complete it. Will always remember the students who put in effort during my lessons =) Give the hardworking students good grades, & Fail those attitude ones.

VG Chalet at Aranda Country Club



Finally had a VG chalet juz b4 end of graduation.... hahaha... Life was so simple there. Apparently, first day when we checked in, it was already super late with me, hui qun & yong shun only, the others all cannot make it on the first day.

In the end, a loser thing happened and I ended up playing 3 players' mahjong for the night till 2am. Siao lor, it was like so diaozz... Then on 2nd day 3rd July morning, I left the Country Club early & freaking travelled from Pasir Ris to Mayflower Sec Sch for the dance lessons. Wah piang it was tiring.... Then aft lunch, i went back to join them where Jingxian finally arrived.

The 4 of us then went to swimming, sauna etc, spent the afternn leisurely, nothing much of activity to talk of actually. But the issue is that, this type of life where u can do what u like w/o any stress & juz let time pass by is v relaxing..... I personally find it damn enjoyable.. Simple & easy, no activity = most activity....

For dinner we met Tinghan & luckily as he was driving, we went down to Geylang for steamboat. Food was ok, the only eventual event was tt we went back to chalet for a super final mahjong showdown till early morning 5 or 6 am. It was super jia lat... Apparently i only won abt thrice in the whole night from 11pm till morning... Still cannot believe it...
But dunno why when they count winnings in the end, i ended up being the overall winner... Abit funny & unbelievable...

Finally, at the end of the chalet on 4th July morning, i left early with Tinghan, he gave me a lift to Toa Payoh then i travel to Mayflower again for lessons. Didnt know how the rest of the VG members checked out..

Overall, this is really the kind of life i looking for la.. Super relax, i think better than grad trip where gotta travel to many many places & yet cant really enjoy & relax... Diaoz? Think i getting old? Like i super behaving like those retired personnel leh.... Aiyoh....

(Pai seh to all readers out there, i know my this entry a little boring & short but i juz wanted to pen down a simple relax "trip" which i enjoyed alot =) )
