I am back! after 11 months!

Can't imagine! wow! it has been almost a year since I last updated my bamboo page! A lot of things happened! Things turned out differently and unexpectedly! I guess that's life!

I'm now a third year teacher and guess what?! we have our own club in school! Robotics Club sounds fancy and exciting to me, still. How I wish I can join a club like that when I was in secondary school! 

you can check out https://www.facebook.com/chookteng.tham/ for the major updates.

so, what have I been doing these 11 months?

1. of course, I teach! 
2. I got students into robotics workshop and practice and competitions (on-going)
3. I raised funds to get robotics sets and laptop for my robotics team. RM9644 was raised for my kids!
4. I brought students to showcase their skills in robotics at public event
5. I build our school's first Robotics Club
6. I brought students to Science Fair and soon , there will be college visiting to get to know about Robotics in further studies
7. oh, am I going to just talk about my students? nah, I graduated with postgraduate diploma of education last November and now no longer a teacher-student! yay! No more full time teaching and part time studying!
8. words can't tell or elaborate all my teaching and learning journey all these while! 

So, why the sudden post? just thought I need to express some thoughts before things start to fade.  

Don't be Qipfcf

Qipfcf screwed it.
Qipfcf did not try the best.
Qipfcf took risk.
Qipfcf took it for granted.
Qipfcf thought too much.
Qipfcf did not plan well.
Qipfcf looked for excuses.
Qipfcf rationalized.
Qipfcf did not want to admit the fault.
Qipfcf wanted to do again.
Qipfcf wanted to turn back time.
Qipfcf is sad.
Sigh

Don't be Qipfcf.
😔

Motivation #6

It was a busy week~ being the teacher-in-charge for basketball competition, coming to school early for the sports day preparation, pending documentation awaits me at home... 

I expect other teachers being busier and having more workload compared to me.

 

Yet, I'm blessed. Angels are everywhere. P/s: there were more than just this throughout my school year!

Thank you

Motivation #5

After the terrible week, but right before reaching the end of it, last period of my Friday class #truelyfeelingloved 

Who would remember a teacher's birthday? 

Students who love you.

Motivation #4

Because I am demotivated. I see how some of them really care. For that, thank you. You might not realize how a gentle stare, with compassion, will erase the negativity I had, bit by bit. Yes, it's because of you, I need to be more durable. At least, for half a year.

You remember a teacher's kind words,  teachers, too, remember a student's kind comment.

Motivation #3

This kid is one of the problematic kids in my form 2 english class. I'm glad he tried his best instead of leaving everything blank! You gotta look properly to get the answer my dear~ 

He made me smile. Teachers don't 'play' kid de :)

Motivation #2

Students were trying to speak English to get the answer from me. "When is your birthday? What is your favourite flower?" 

Your willingness to learn is the best gift for me, kids! :) thank you! Happy teacher's day in advance!

Motivation #1

08.05.2015

It was a tiring day, but I felt contented, not because of the impromptu task to speak in front of the crowd but when a quiet student asked me to go back to class because she wants to learn (I didn't go to class because I was in charging a school event). I said I was fed up with the class (it was a joke) hat's why I only leave them with handouts to do. 

Thank you kid! You motivated me one more time!

“爱人和被爱都是感情对人的惩罚，
你选择爱人，
也可能等于选择了失落和心痛，
你若是被爱，
就可能是别人真心的刽子手”

完

考完大學最後一張考卷,突然有種失落感,
可能因為沒有盡全力,
也可能是覺得人生就這樣,過完了大學生涯.
又是另一個茫茫的未來...
是時候收拾一下,
該丟得丟光光,
想要留下的,
也清一清,
有時不是我不想留,
只是留的越多,
東西只會一發不可收拾
下雨了,
希望接下來是一道彩虹

突然發現,這一切來得太快,去得更快,
讀了這麼多年的書,終於完了,
雖然很期待.卻有一絲絲的遺憾,
不想長大了

风筝

风筝放太远,它会学会自由,飞向自己的天空
拉不回来,用力只会把线拉断
可能太迟了,距离只能用那细细的线紧紧的维持着
那是地球和天空的距离
