NTC..... Not as easy as you think!!!!!

yo yo yo..... its me again.... the one and only.... =)

again, no flashes of inspiration, but just regular updates of my life for any out there interested.... haha..... though i know not many ppl would care about a nobody like moi..... haha.....

just a small background knowledge..... NTC stands for Neighbourhood Tuition Centre, a free non-profit organization that my church organises every wed night for those underprivileged children.... the teachers are not hired and are volunteers, like moi... haha..... i first started teaching there in 2005, while i was waiting for the O'level results to come out.... haha...... didn't go to MI for the first three months cos i thought that it was quite useless.... haha.... but then i qualified for JJC, and so time does not permit me to hav the liberty to teach there anymore....

but, recently, ever since i enlisted, knowing full well that my job in the army would be a desk job, i pledged my commitment once again.... haha... this time, i would be teaching the pri6, together with Serlene Tan (oops... hope i didn't spell wrong.... if i did pls forgive me....) haha.... anyway.... if anyone of y0u out there ever think it would be an easy job trying to teach those "little terrors", you are sorely mistaken.....

not only must you deal with the pace of the class or the work of the students, u would also need to deal with class cohesion..... the WORST thing is that my class of 6 ppl, consists of 1 boy and 5 girls..... that is BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD news for a guy teacher like me...... haha.... for those bio twits out there who do not know, puberty for girls start at the tender age of 12..... Therefore, 12=pri6..... OOPS...... suddenly my job scope increased..... now i gotta be on my toes to prevent any unwanted infatuations..... there is this one girl who is from the other pri6 class and keep wanting to come over to my class..... OH NO..... BAD BAD BAD sign..... haha..... thank God i was well prepared and know how to deal with it..... haha......

but at the end of the day, i still like teaching there..... it is indeed an enriching experience.... =) Thank God for NTC and the good work of all the volunteer teachers there that made a difference in many young children's lives....
am i mature enough to handle a steady relationship??? am i compatible with you??? i dunno.... i really dunno..... GOD, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!
