A Tour Through My Mind

we had a fantastic game against T’sians in the Premier League. Against all odds, without Nordin, with only 2 reserves and the umpires constantly blowing against us, we achieved a 3-0 result. More rewarding than the result was of course the process. We were playing really well against some of the national players in their tea, including a China born player. Needless to say? who do we have? We do not have any star player… But of course, our strength actually lies in each individual.. that’s the beauty of our team. Looking back, that game was exceptionally enjoyable. This is also the game that led us into the semi finals. I didn’t know at first. I kept tallying up the results table and trying all possible combinations and it seemed certain that we have no chance in the semis. The one day later, Farha pointed out that the rule states that in the event of same no. of points, the teams will be ranked according to the no. of games won.. and we won 5 games while theresians won 4.. so we are through…

 This is a landmark victory for us.. Beating T’sians twice, winning Dutch club in the 2nd game after beaten by them in the first, keeping SRC at 2-1 (smallest scoreline against them) and of course ranked 3rd in the Premier League table for now.. qualifying for semi-finals … oh my…. it’s simply overwhelming.

BUT IT’S GREAT!!! Our dreams have come true. We have really proven ourselves that we are force to be reckoned with. Great Work Crescent!

i don’t think i’m coping well.. i think cos i’m not working effectively. Sigh.. so overwhelmed with work. many things to do. i didn’t even know what to teach anymore.. simply because there’s so much to cover. sigh… i’m just too tired. i spoke to my geog colleague… she offered some advice and gave me some resources.. and she said don’t tell anyone else that i’m not coping. if anyone asks, just say that i’m doing my best to cope. i don’t know what’s the rationale lah.. perhaps she did it to protect me against politics.. well.. whatever..

it’s a long national day weekend.. starts from thursday to sunday.. that’s great.. if i get to go away and really enjoy myself somewhere.. relax and don’t worry about anything. BUT.. well.. i’m stuck for 4 days with marking to do.. well.. from here on it’s gonna be crazy. the assignments and tests.. the more assignments bthe students have to do.. the more marking i have to do.. sigh… if i’m given a choice, i don’t want to set assignment. then i don’t need to mark.. but what to do.. the orders come from on top.. sigh..

so all in all..no holidays for me. so sad

been awhile since i updated the blog. didn’t even get to write anything about Melbourne trip.

 Started at Innova for 6 weeks now. i feel the environment is alright.. but overworked. straddling between geog and pe is not an easy task at all. its really challenging not only in terms of workload.. it’s very very difficult to straddle between 2 departments. i get the feeling that each department is not happy in the sense that i don’t fully belong to any of them. and in a way its difficult for them to delegate jobs to me.. but as it is, i already have my hands full. i’m very overburdened with geog. but i enjoy teaching geog… just teaching in tutorial will do.. but lecturing?? and setting whole level assignments? and setting the midcourse exams??? it’s really bad lah..

my PE colleagues envy me cos there are some days that i end early while all of them end late cos of PE class or cca and the geog side, they envy me cos i only have 3 geog classes while they have 5 or 6… sigh… i just find it overwhelming.. with reno works and the wedding coming along…
