Yeah!! 3 presentations are finally over and one more to go tomorrow...I feel a little more at ease but still all the individual reports are due next week. Its okay, i will be able to endure the last week of school. =)

I had my microteaching yesterday & i was a little tensed but the class was very amicable to me, my dear...I'm surprised at how my classmates behaved & did not try to make things difficult for me. We were video-taped while teaching & when the lecturer replayed the video for us to see, everyone gasped & hate to see ourselves on TV. I had to replay the video a few times to scrutinize for my weaknesses & strengths. I think i portrayed myself too much as an approachable teacher that my students love to express funny views & the whole class would laugh along, including myself. Though i thought it was fun, and its okay for teachers to laugh with the students, maybe i should be firmer. The way i asked my students to keep quiet *slaps myself* was too gentle. But at least, all my instructions were all followed. I feel that my students will still listen to me even though they can see that i can be bullied. My tactic.

Today, we had to role-play for a presentation & i had to act as a rebellion. To make the situation worst, i was given a name called 'Lian huay'..Laughs. Cos its Ah lian & Ah huay...hahaha. It was so difficult for me to act like a brat. I was folding my arms, tapping my feet, ignoring & being rude to the teacher, asking my friends to shut up etc & i was practically bursting into laughter while acting,so were the class. Tsk tsk, don't ask me to act especially when i have to do the things i don't normally do. After the class, my friends were still calling me Lian huay. What a name. But well, its meant to be amusing. The teacher was named 'Miss Piggy', so in short, we call her 'Miss P'..hehe.

Phew, no more NIE soon. And i'll be posted to the school next year..Jus don't post me to a girls' school. Haha. Don't ask me why but i think it would be extra fun in a mixed or boys school, maybe the challenge is there.
