Not a pula ubin follow up....

Ok...for the Pula Ubin post i will have to push it back because i got to blog about todays event at Dunearn Secondary School.

So lets start from the begining. Well i left home early today as i didn't wanna be late. Those that knows me know that i am quite late at times. Anyway my early was 2 hours before the appointed time. And when i reach, it was only 1.40pm and our meeting time was 2pm. So i sat down and played my PSP. Anyway not long one of my friend reach. And then more came, and then all came and we set off for Dunearn Secondary School. Well Dunearn Secondary School was completely different from my secondary school. I guess when you are in another secondary school the feelings is different unlike my parents era where all the secondary school was build the same ways with the same structure.

So lets just fast forward to the Ice Breaking games. Well all i can say is that Ice Breaking was different from what i expected. Why do i say that? Well firstly those people that i was trying to ice break right, they were all secondary 1 except for a secondary 4. And well it was different from how we did in Poly. The ice breaking games that we played was the same ones that were used in our ice breaking of the team going to cambodia. They were extremely shy and i guess the satisfaction i go was at the end of the day which i will explain. So i kind of forced them to talk to each other by making topics.

Well after all the ice breaking games, we brought them back to the computer labs to do our pre trip IT training that was needed for this Youth Expedition Trip aka YEP. Anyway it went well and at first i thought maybe it will not fall thru as i was afraid that this students were all too good for this stuffs. And this group of students were from Infocom Club. Anyway i explain to them the requirements and they were off. As we were trying to emulate cambodia scenario we assign one trainer to 2 students, but actually 2 students will be sharing a computer. But for this case since they had enough computers each had one computer. So hence i started the teaching experince. It was unusual for me, but it turn out quite well. But then well ummm, i can say is that some of the students that i was coaching right they are quite sturbon in what i say for eg.I told this one student to cut and then paste whatever stuff they wanted but instead that student insisted on copying the word and the after pasting on where that student wanted, then procceded to delete off the information on it and also there was this student who i dunno, maybe was ignoring me but when i asked him an question he just quietly didn't answer me and i when i walked away, at the corner of my eyes i saw he looking at me. Well thats also an learning experince after all.

After that we had dinner. We had KFC while the students had chicken rice. And i can say that its been a long time since i ate KFC. Anyway after eating finish we went back to the computer lab to finish up on the work. Some of them who had finish was playing games and i join in too as my group had finish. But i was scolded by my "boss" :'( and then stopped and made sure everyone had finish and put their work in an hardisk. Well i can say that i prefer being friend friends with students then rather teaching strictly. So i guess i can't be a teacher as i will probaly end up playing with the students rather then teaching them.

Ok here we come to the finale, a game behind the cross the river game. I won't emphasis on it but it was quite fun. And this is where i will explain why i said that the statisfaction i got was from the end of the day. This was because in this game, i saw the team that i was leading working as a team and also interacting and cheering each other on. You know you get that very very warm feeling when you make two complete strangers friends and seeing them cheering them on? Well that made me feel good. Hmmm, maybe my carreer can be a Ice Breaker teacher.LOL but then i hate ice breakers so yeah... Anyway the Pula Ubin trip blog post will be up tomorrow. And tomorrow i will be getting a new phone but i am very unsure if i wanna get it anot.

Well thats all for today. I am off to bath and relax and playing my "Ragnarok Battle offline" :D


Ohhh before i forget, guess what i saw in Dunearn Secondary School's staff toliet?? I so far have told two person Lilian and Josey Lim. But well not to keep you all in suspence but...i saw a table, with a table cloth anddddddddddd a flower pot with flower. In a toliet, according to one of my teamate it was not unusual for him. Well he says thats what you see in high class hotels. I guess i am not high class enough to see such stuffs
