Weekend's approaching!

friday afternoon...
am I looking forward to the weekend?

there's an ultimate frisbee course coming up later at 3pm.
i'm in it because miss sandra teng asked me to replace her,
she's out with the judo team.
i hope it'll be fun.
it's pretty warm outside.

yesterday was a hectic day again.
finally completed the scheme of work for the narrative/personal recount unit.
i left sch at 6.15pm
and rushed to telok ayer for bible study.

it's my turn to play the piano for the hymns.
the singing was supposed to begin at 7.25pm,
but at 7.20 i was still eating my char kuey tiao at the food centre.
then, kelvin called me at 7.23,
i must have given him a heart attack -
the session's about to begin
and the pianist's MIA.

i told him i was downstairs (actually i was still at the foodcentre with my half-eaten char kway tiao!),
so i left the remainder of my food there,
and crossed the road to get to the church.

i didn't even have time to gargle my mouth with water,
so there was this disgusting lard smell in my mouth when i entered the sanctuary.

the first hymn i had to play was 'to God be the glory'
a familiar hymn - so luckily i was quite secure even though
my heart was still palpitating due to the rush.

hehe but i stayed in A flat throughout,
didn't feel confident enough to tranpose to A major.

did the reading cartwheel trial run with my 2 classes.
a few notes:

a) speak up, or else you can't be heard, and won't be graded
b) don't use vague adjectives eg. nice, not nice, fine, gross, strange, sick, fun, weird - these are not precise
c) don't say unreasonable and disparaging things about your book
d) you can disagree/not like things in the book, but you have to justify it
e) listen to the question carefully, consider, then answer
f) don't be passive, tap people out when you have things to say
g) don't tap people out when they are speaking
h) be nice, don't hog the limelight
i) don't be upset if you're tapped out, you can tap to go back in.

all the best!
