These Kids Nowadays... part 2...

Encounter this today: Saw a student in class singing national anthem with hands on the desk... walk up to her and told her nicely and softly to put down her hands... Bo hiu, head face down... tried to ask her if she is ok, she also bo hiu... so ignore her... tot is she not feeling well... later she seem fine while talking with the form teacher, who happen to be her Science teacher as well... So I tried to tell her not to put hands on table again, and yeap, bo hiu again... well, such are these kids nowadays.. in case you are wondering what's the major point about this story, it's good to know abt the background of this student... pampered and spoilt by mum, who always let her get in her way... claims to be part of gang o/s school... will only study the subjects she is interested (yeap, science is one of the 2 ~ 3 subjects)... extremely rude to anyone else except a few close friends...

haha... well, if the mother dun impart the values, then don't expect me to... Don't think she can come back next year to continue, but if she does and still wants to take my subject and insists on her way, I think I will just inform her non-progression and attitude to her mother to cover my ka-chng... hahaha... not that I am bad, ask the students around the school, they'll tell you otherwise... I mean seriously, if ministry policy and focus is on academic, and the parents won't do something for their own child (COME ON! Your own flesh and blood leh!!!), and the kids still are not able to appreciate the chances and leniency given in school, then I think they can only learn thru' the hard way/experience themselves in the outside world, perhaps some events to happen to them before they will wake up... even though it may be very very painful way, but that is the only way then they will realise.... just hopefully it will not be too late for them by then...

Then later in the day, I was with another 2 bunch of kids (class) older and younger than the above student... They really are different... the younger ones (lower sec), although is also in Normal stream, are much much more appreciative... And the older class is taking their belated O levels this year... and the attitude and way of life is so so so much different... so even if I have to sacrifice my time and own resources to them I am still quite willing...

Such are these kids nowadays....

So Tired Suddenly...

Yesteray after RT I went back home and after shower, had my brunch... Usually I will go out and do my Sunday shopping at NTUC or ShingSong... but yesterday I planned to go to Taka and see the infamous Craziest Toys Sales... but to my surprise, I felt so tired after my brunch... so I thought I'll laze around till 12 plus then go... but it turn out worse... and I decided not to go, but just perhaps shop for groceries... then I cannot tahan, and took a nap, setting the handphone's alarm to 30 mins later.. it rang later, but I just couldn't get up from bed... 1/2 hr later my parents came back, and I just smile at them, mind felt like getting up but body just couldn't... Only till about 3 plus then i manage to get up... 30 mins of nap became 2 hours... sigh... couldn't understand why... RT for that day not too siong too, so cannot be RT... at night tried drinking some Ginseng tea, hopefully can rejuvenate some strength... today felt still ok... heng...

p.s. Forget to mention just bought appro $15 worth of ice cream again....

Aiyah.. These Kids Nowadays...

... they are not irresponsible... they are just brought up to be only responsible for their ownself, that's all.... they are not rude... they just happen to grow up without time to learn to be courteous... they are not inconsiderate.. they are just taught to not to lugi and fulfilled to own's wants first... Sigh... yes, such are some of my students... dun feel like typing anymore... Tomorrow will be better...

My Dinner

Hor fun cooked by my parents... mainly my dad...

Transformers 2 - Revenge of the Fallen....

Today is Youth Day, a school holiday, so did not go to school today. Went to catch TF2 - ROTF instead, at Downtown East... Very small screen, but still did not help much in seeing the fast pace robots in motion clearly.... very long show, 2 hours 20 mins approx... How is the show? ... Hmm... Not very good... Editing ( 剪接 ) illogical, eg. day 1 moment & night at the other, suddenly up & running after getting bumped hard falling, Aerospace museum surrounding can suddenly become desert-like... And shouldn't China's police be known as 公安 instead of 警察?... Anyway, try hard to just enjoy the show... Violent Optimus Prime, like gangster head... with gangsters also violent, eg. Sideswipe... Suddenly appear a lot of unidentified Decepticons to gang-bash Optimus... Suddenly Decepticons become weaklings, getting killed easily... suddenly Optimus Prime becomes extremely powerful ("powers (you) cannot imagine", according to Jetfire in the movie) after taking and putting on the dead Jetfire's parts, and kills the bad-ass villain the Fallen (even with Megatron and Starscream helping the Fallen) in a couple of mins... Wah lau.... why like that... In short, no good building up of plot, illogical story line, poor characters persona and characteristics (for most), extremely fast climax and end of climax, and a very sloppy, chop chop ending... Any good points? Ermmm.... vehicles/appliances/human that can become robots? The crazy mother of Sam Witwicky, who is always crazy, with or without eating the drugged cookies? Idiotic robot twins who acts like Dumb and Dumber? The revealing Mikaela (not sure of the spelling) whom some says is hot, but I think is she feeling hot and don't feel like wearing clothes (thought she very man-like with the thick facial features, eg. eyebrows so thick....)? I don't know.... A good film for people who likes fast-paced action, and recommended for hard-core TF Fans... but if you are a half-half, then .... still go and watch lah, decide for yourself...

Bumped into some students in Downtown East, before and after the show... and even after going to Tampines Mart after the show still bumped into one... sigh... maybe should keep out of east side...

Toy Carnival@SAM

Went to the Toy Carnival @SAM, venue is at the Singapore Arts Museum (hence SAM)... Spent around 20 mins looking for a carpark lot... all full house... finally find one at the Queen whatever hotel last floor... Initially thought is this SAM, turn out to be wrong (must thank the security guard for telling me this)...


So cross the road and come to this SAM...


And the first thing I see are these Mask Riders cos-players!! (sorry for the blur figure...) cool costumes...


First floor of the carnival... think I must have come too late, no more free candy floss, hahaha...

Clone soldiers!!!! Where is Darth Vadar???... The Force tells me that I will see him later...

Cool Star Wars displays at the end of the room... including some other accessories the cos-players used, like masks, guns, etc...

A very 斯文 soldier...

Went up to 2nd floor and saw this outside the entrance... Went in and forget to take pics... hahaha... bought myself a cheap WST Hot Rod, which is quite quite rare... and extremely CHEAP!!! Oh, ad got myself a free comic too, but don't know what it is, haven't read yet...

After jalaning, went back to my car... and true enough as told by The Force, I finally see Darth Vadar!!!! ... and a lady Jedi Master, which caught most of my attention, hahaha...

Went over to CSC to jalan, and have a big bowl of Prawn Noodles, at the 大路虾面 (mini)restaurant, for lunch... not bad, have not had such reasonably good Prawn Noodles outside for long time liao....
