The June holidays have ended and it's back to school all primary and secondary school students. For me, that means more crappy assignments to mark, more noisy little buggers and definitely more childish antics that either entertain me or piss me off. Campus Superstar Kid is starting to really, really annoy me with his newly-acquired self-importance, which appears to have followed his newly-acquired fame - I use 'fame' in the broadest sense of the word. Today, I found out that some of my sec 2 kids are really anti-him! I think he'd better watch his smarty pants attitude before some sec 2 Ah Beng whoops his sorry little under-developed ass.

I guess what really irks me is how he and his friends cluster together everytime I go into class, and just talk, sing and make alot of noise instead of doing the worksheets I give out. That cute koala bear thing is getting oldddd. :( Yesterday he took out his phone in class and I told him to keep it. He actually replied in a super indignant matter-of-fact tone (as if I was the one being an unreasonable nuisance), "I sending sms to the Mediacorp people la!" What the hell. Apparently, this kind of behaviour occurs during other teachers' classes as well, so I think it won't be long before someone caves and threatens to screw him his chances of appearing on TV.

Another kid that has succeeded in making me want to wring his neck is this idiot who kept shouting, "MISS ONG, WO AI NI!!! (Miss Ong, I love you!)" whenever I walked past last term. This term, his vocabulary has expanded to, "MISS ONG, JIA GEI WO! WO YAO NI DE AI! (Literally: Miss Ong, marry me! I want your love!)" Every. Single. Freaking. Time. I was like, wtffffffff. Eventually I was so mad, I scolded him in a complex series of Chinese phrases, which he of course did not understand. Muahahahahahaha!

Candice, Anis, Joylynn and Khairul (all the relief teachers present last term) have left, so it's just me and this new girl named Anne. It's been fun chatting with her during breaks 'cos she's just so frank and unpretentious and we can bitch and bitch about students like nobody's business. :) New batch of NIE teachers have arrived, so our workload isn't so heavy. Speaking of new teachers, a lighter workload isn't just the only good thing that has happened. HEHEHEHEHE...

I wanna shee eurrr sshy, shhweet shhweet schhmile and kyuutey kyuutey kyuuute dhimplesss!

If you still don't get the above sentence despite having read it numerous times - assuming that you haven't died of frustration from the unnecessary letter 'h's - it's in Twit Language (Google 'Twitionary'), introduced to me by Anne. Fret not, I've not morphed into an airhead (although I know some people are begging to differ) I'm just mocking the silly goons who actually type like, write like this, talk like this. One word: EWW.

But he does indeed have such a nice smile. ;-)
