Week 1 after practicum

Ho...

It's one week after practicum and I've got one more week in NIE before I get a short break and go on to the post-NIE activities during the June holidays. Yep, I should have mentioned that I'm not going to have my June holidays this time round because I will be busy going for talks and excursions... from 3 June - 14 June I think. I haven't really looked at the envelope with all the details.

It's see... this week was a rather relaxing week, with some lessons in NIE and other activities. I shall do a quick summary starting from Monday.

Monday afternoon was spent at Bukit Merah Central's MacDonalds. I was woken up by a call and had to go down to MacDonalds to meet a few students who had some questions on Maths to ask me. It wasn't a productive session though, with them chatting most of the time. It would have been better if it was done in school though. Joanne Peh was at MacDonalds... supposedly taking a rest at one of the tables. I didn't bother to see. I only saw her leaving, opening a really huge umbrella when she left the place. It wasn't really sunny lo...

Tuesday was spent in NIE... my CME lesson. Get R3ICH. Well, hopefully my friends and I will be well-equipped to help students get R3ICH after the two sessions. Other classes ended early lo... only my class ended right on the dot at 5.30pm >.<" Quite ok ba, learnt quite a few things during the session. It was a little draggy though... could have been hastened a little.

Wednesday was spent in camp... army camp. Mandai Hill Camp... very near the Singapore Zoological Gardens. A super long briefing which involved a passing over ceremony, which placed my reservist unit into another division... from 3rd Div to 6th Div. Dinner was at Yishun Central I think... food court. Had Indian cuisine. It was about 8 or 9pm by the time I got home. Tiring day.

Thursday... back in NIE for Maths lessons. We had a sharing on our experiences on teaching Mathematics. Everyone had something interesting to share... so it was a fruitful session. Our homework... discussion on how TLLM can be used in the teaching of Mathematics. My point of view is that it can be done... it's just that we have to learn how to go about doing it, which is difficult. The discussion and sharing on this shall resume next Thursday.

Friday. Physics lecture in the morning in NIE, followed by a KTV session with my good friends from NIE at Clementi KBox. We had an enjoyable time. Well, I spent most of my time there studying for my Basic Theory test... which took place later in the day. I passed! Ha. We were given 50 minutes to complete 50 MCQs... I took about 11 minutes and passed. No numerical results shown... just a "Passed" on the computer screen.

Dinner was at Lot 1... at the Wan Chai Hong Kong Tea Room. A belated birthday treat from a good friend of mine =] The food there is not bad... but not for regular meals though. Not costly, but not cheap either. I ate the Pork Chop Rice and had Honey Dew Sago as dessert. Side dishes were Crispy Toufu with Pork Floss and Pork Ribs with Orange Sauce. Visited Popular Bookshop and purchased two whiteboard dusters and a few more Pental markers for the new semester in school after the June holidays.

Bought "Just Follow Law" VCD as well and watched it just now... funny ah. Ha. Quite entertaining.

Oooo... long entry this time :P
