Teacher as a profession

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

Why do ppl want to be teacher? This particular question always lurks in the depths of my mind, the curiosity is just significant enough for me to write about it in my blog. In my book, teachers are those who failed to have superior jobs like engineer or doctor. So I take it that being teacher is a last resort for these incompetent rejects. I don’t mean to be disrespectful and all. True, I still need their guidance and teachings to survive the rather harsh path of life.

I get pissed off when these teachers start to brag about their achievements when they were once a student. Boarding schools, high grades, best student, awards, active in both academics and co-curicullum yadayada, you name it. If they are so damn good then why the fuck didn’t they become distinguished ppl who earns 23456789 bux a year. Eventually they become a teacher, intentional or not, they still fail. So I really don’t like these inferior beings telling me what I should do with my life.

They worked hard in school, aiming for prestigious institutions and graduate, just to have them back in school again? Now this doesn’t make sense to me. Most of us would want to escape the crappy environment of school, and after spending the entire childhood and adolescence in school, the last place I would want to spend my adulthood is school. Don’t get me wrong here, I love school life; but life as a student, not as an englightened adult.

Direct from Japan

Tuesday, April 18th, 2006

Order from HLJ arrived some days back. Was playing dota and pwning my friends with pudge when suddenly some annoying distinctive horns that belongs to a cheap motorcycle were honked. Opened the door and saw this postman who looked like he could use some kicking in the rear, with his shades covering his mouth (OMG lame) he asked for confirmation of the address, "u dun want my signature meh?", well guess not, it was delivered with SAL, not EMS.

So these are the stuff I bought from HLJ. All sums up about 7000yen/RM200+ together with the 900yen shipping. I was particularly delighted of the SAL shipping, took only about less than two weeks to arrive and reasonable shipping charge. So back to the stuff I ordered, I got myself some sets of hobby tools, namely Olfa Art knife, tweezers, side cutter, brushes, etc.

Also bought a 1/72 scale TIE fighter model kit from Fine Molds, scroll down and you’ll see my previous post about it. I’m however unable to complete this superb kit due to absence of cement and appropriate paints. My next order will probably cover all that.

First exams over, here are some of my thoughts over the subjects :

  • EST - Questions are more or less the same with form 3, except articles have something to do with science and technology. I’m really pissed off when they decide to retake the essay which took away my advantage over those fools who didn’t read the question properly.
    *OMG n00b teacher gave me 62%
       
  • PAI - Doesn’t look too bad…
    *OMG typical. 71%
       
  • SEJ - Objective questions were answered with sheer confidence, section B I got pwned… On the other hand I’ve no problem with the essay, though some of you might not share my optimistic appraisal of the situation *ripped from Darth Vader
    *OMG OMG 65%

       
  • BM - I hate BM…
    *ZOMG 41% = D7 o_O!
        
  • BIO - The subject everyone feared turned out to be the least difficult of the science subjects. I’m not saying it was easy though… Eh, did someone said endoplasmic reticulum is hairy? Guffaw! :p
    *OMG 66%
       
  • ENG - Meh. Haven’t enough time for continous writing, big mistake for me to go for section A first, which produced two pages of essay for crappy marks. However paper 2 was a breeze, ample amount of time causes least pressure.
    *OMG 78%
       
  • CHE - Reasonably hard, I admit that I didn’t read much. Managed to exchange few answers with kua and so did some of my friends.
    *OMG 63%
       
  • PHY - Arguably the toughest, answered all questions, some I filled with shit. Desperate times calls for desperate measures, exchange of answers happened everywhere. Soleh even managed to borrow (Obi?) Wan’s answer sheet and copied. As usual, commented the paper with "A1 doh aku" lol…
    *OMG 85%
       
  • +MATHS - haha, sodomy… Wasted time with the time-consuming question, together with the fact that I’m not very proficient in maths, doubles the time needed.
    *OMG phailed 58%
       
  • MMATHS (97%) - No pressure, lazy to check, I don’t really like maths, no intention for 100% so good enough for me.

VOICE NewType

Asked my dad to buy me NewType magazine in S’pore the other day but I get this instead. VOICE NewType is apparently magazine about seiyuu (voice actor), as you can see below the content of the magazine is filled with pictures of seiyuu (to drool) and other crap relevant to them. To have ppl fetish for voice actors just shows how popular the anime industry is in Japan. I don’t really mind this thing, it’d be a great addition to my fetish item collection. In below pic, we can tell that voice actors try their best to potray the characters they voice act >.<

PriceThough I think I got ripped by those damned s’porean. WTF, They overcharged this thing for about 7 bucks more. Even with the shipping cost, it should be around S$17.
