WAH. I'm blogging lei. Haha. It feels weird to start blogging after such a long long while. I feel dislocated.

I'm currently at Dra's house, playing mahjong and having a lot of fun!
Woohoo. While I am losing contact with my jc friends, with the exception of weiqi , fengyi, laytin, jiatian and jiayan, I am catching up on lost time with my secondary school friends. Woohoo.

Work:

I changed schools! I switched from Andy to CK , from Chinese teacher to English teacher. What a major change! Whenever I stand in front of the class, I still have the tendency to speak in Mandarin and had to try very hard to speak in English.* Because I still think that I am a Chinese teacher. But thank God, I'm definitely more at ease and fluent now, I mean teaching in English, not speak in English. It is so different. I have to speak accurately, for instance, we tend to slip into Singlish sub consciously and my students will correct me.

This is what happened during my first lesson:

You can do this worksheet yourself then I will collect it when you finish. XXXXXXXXXX

Correction: Please do this worksheet BY yourself and I will collect it when you have FINISHED. VVVVVVVVV

I have always thought I am very bilingual.
I think I am,still. However, I have to take note of accuracy and precision of my speaking when teaching.

:D

I like driving. It gets kind of stressful.

oh drats. I don't want to blog. I shall change my add soon.
