I have actually typed an entry. But as soon as I clicked ‘Publish’, it was gone. No where to be found and it is not published.
Haih. So here it goes again.
I am now able to use the internet in school. Thanks to HOT days! Haha. Which means that there is enough light to generate energy to make the server work. Woohoo!
I rely on solar during the day and generator at night, remember?
I have gotten my surat lantikan, which means gaji as early as April, if possible. Woohoo!
There is now a TV in the staff room / office. I can now watch Wanita Hari Ini while writing my lesson plans. Reception is as clear as Astro. Woohoo!
I have spent my first weekend here in Beluran. So, yesterday I did nothing at all apart from lazying around on my bed. Woohoo!
I have the whole house to myself for the coming week. Woohoo!..Err..not so.
Scary, ok!
It’s pretty scary though teachers have said that I am ‘kuat semangat’ enough to stay alone. So, I have requested a girl from my Year 6 class to sleep in my house at night, if her mom permits.
Teaching these children can be very, VERY challenging. Lack of exposure, I suppose. There is only one pupil in Lower Primary who can read and she still need a lot of guidance.
Almost all pupils in Upper Primary can read but they still have problems in blending the sounds to utter the words. Plus, they read an English text just the same as reading a Malay text. The word ‘like’ will become ‘lik’, for example.
I was teaching Year One the other day. On the board, I had a list of words listed in alphabetical order. Then, came the letter J with the word ‘jar’. I asked, ‘What is a jar?’ hoping to get the correct answer in BM. One kid answered, ‘Jar… jar… belajar, teacher.’ Ok. That’s fine. Then came the letter M with the word ‘moon’. Again, I asked, ‘What is this?’, pointing at the word. The same kid answered, ‘Muntah, teacher.’
Huks.
Thank God that I only have three pupils in Year 1. Yes, three, tres, 3.
I get very exhausted at the end of the day, just from teaching. So I spent most of my afternoon sleeping. Haha.
Hurm hurm. What else?
Can’t think of any.
Oh, I don’t have to attend the sukan daerah after all. Save me from all the sunburn. Haha.
That’s all for now. Will update soon.
Daa~
You didn’t say, you miss me.
Huk huk. Woohoo!

I have yet to spend a weekend at my school…
Sibu is small but still more alluring & entertaining…

I think you have a major role to play in your area.
The feeder primary schools for my secondary school has not been doing a good job teaching English so I am having a really hard time trying to avoid drilling.
Some of the students cannot even spell or read!
Few cannot even use BM.
**High Five!!
