naked baby


my ger is very mischievous. Just before her daddy bathe her, she saw her daddy's laptop and quickly put her itchy fingers on it, imitating her daddy doing work.
She loves to play with laptops.

So many froggies at the Jurong Frog Farm. I dun think my ger know what are frogs. When you ask her if she want to play with the frog/goat/other animals, she will always say "yao", she wants to play with anything.

my sec 3 chinese literature class

my class has done quite badly for chinese literature. Even my best student score only 29/50. She has done well in the part that she can study, but the second part on unknown text, she cannot do well, and did not have time to do all the questions.She miss out a 10 marks question. what a pity.

My 7 students results as follows:
Student A 29/50
Student B 33/50
Student C 37/50
Student D 27/50
Student E 26/50
Student F 18/50
Student G 33/50

Convert the marks to 100%, I have only 1 student with A2 distinction. Quite disappointing. I muz think of ways to help them score better. For the unseen text portion, all do the novel question, nobody attempt to do the poem, which i find quite disappointed also. As I like poems more than other literature forms.
Attach my literature paper here. Some of you may want to try the poem?haha......

花环 何其芳
放在一个小坟上

开落在幽谷里的花最香,
无人记忆的朝露最有光,
我说你是幸福的,小玲玲,
没有照过影子的小溪最清亮。

你梦过绿藤缘进你的窗里,
金色的小花坠落到你的发上。
你为檐雨说出的故事感动,
你爱寂寞,寂寞的星光。

你有珍珠似的少女的泪,
常流着没有名字的伤悲。
你有美丽得使你忧愁的日子,
你有更美丽的夭亡。

乌节一角 黄孟文

   珍妮从先得坊购物出来,满怀高兴,牵着小女儿的手,走向隔邻的露天茶座,找了一张空桌子,坐下歇息。
  她叫了一杯冰冻的柠檬茶,另外叫了一杯巧克力冰淇淋给女儿,还叫了鸡肉三文治。
  女儿的眼睛忽然望着隔邻桌下,拍起手来。“小狗,妈咪,你看,小狗。”
  珍妮顺眼望去。果然,那儿躺着一只狐狸狗。
  “哇,真漂亮!”珍妮赞声不绝。
  她和女儿都站起来,走过去摸它,一边生硬地吹着口哨,一边口里发出“啧啧啧”的声音,去逗弄它。
  这只小狗全身白绒绒,发出艳丽的亮光。眼睛圆圆的,黑中带一些红色,有点儿像小白兔哩!
  “咦,怎么它是绑着的?谁将它用铁链绑在椅脚上?还给阳光晒到?”
  珍妮怒冲冲地张目四望,想要寻出谁是小狗的主人。
  刚好茶座老板娘在场,她向珍妮解释说是一位熟顾客的。她到附近购物去了,托她们照顾一下。
  “她还答应给我们十块钱哩!”一个年轻侍者得意洋洋地说,好像很为这笔额外的收入而踌躇满志。“乌节地带的人最慷慨!”她加一句,露出一排参差不齐的牙齿。
  “哎呀,真是罪孽,怎么可以把它绑起来呢?”
  “狗也像人一样,是会感到不舒服的呀!——Sayang Sayang……”1言下不胜怜惜,不断抚摸小狗的头,双眼显露母爱的光辉。
  她还叫侍者把那支立着的大阳伞移过去一点,免得小狗给太阳晒到。
  小女儿吵着妈咪多叫了一碟鸡肉三文治,拿了一块过去喂小狗。
  小狗嗅了一下,没精打采地把头伏回地上,好像一点食欲都没有。
  “哎呀,我忘了,那位顾客说它只吃纽西兰的新鲜牛肉,不爱吃鸡肉的。”老板娘忽然想起。
  小女儿挖了一小汤匙的冰淇淋给它吃,它连望都不望一眼,闭起眼睛养神。
  “你应该告诉你的顾客,”珍妮对老板娘说。“把小动物这样绑在椅脚,让它睡在硬硬的地砖上,又晒到阳光,这是不准许的——我是防止虐待动物协会的理事。”
  “是的,是的,我会转告她。”老板娘有点肃然起敬的样子。
  这时,一个印度小女孩带着一个小男孩走过来,以右手轻碰额头,作行礼状,她嗫嚅着说:
  “太太,这碟剩下的面包给我好吗?我的妈妈生病了,我和弟弟肚子好饿。”
  “你们怎么可以讨食呢?”珍妮满脸不高兴。“你知道新加坡早就禁止乞丐了吗?”
  “我……我……没办法,妈妈不能工作。”
  “她的妈妈是这一带的扫地工人,很久没有看到她了。”老板娘代为解释。
  “不可以,”珍妮坚持。“要讨食也不要跑到乌节地带来呀,给游客看见,不是把新加坡人的脸都丢光?去,去,走开,这么脏!”
  小女儿忽然走到妈妈身边,惊恐万分:“妈咪,他们有爱滋病吗?”她想起爸妈的话,想起他们常叫她小心,在外头不要乱摸脏物,不要乱碰陌生人,恐怕染上最可怕的爱滋病。
  “走开,走开,赶快走开,我的女儿害怕了。你再不走,我叫警察来抓你。”珍妮杏眼圆睁,猛拍桌子。
  印度女孩满眼失望,怯生生地走开了,弟弟跟在后头,双眼闪着泪光。

芝麻绿豆

改完了中三快捷的试卷一。其中一个作文题目是关于两家邻居为了芝麻绿豆的小事吵架。描写吵架情形。改到一些令人啼笑皆非的吵架情形。原来还有学生不明白“芝麻绿豆”的小事的意思。他们觉得“芝麻绿豆的小事”真的和“芝麻绿豆”有关。

有个学生说两家人为了买一包“芝麻绿豆”吵架,因为一个要煮“芝麻绿豆汤”给家婆喝,另一个要煮给孩子喝。

我吃过芝麻糊也喝过绿豆汤,但是从没喝过什么“芝麻绿豆汤”,你们有谁喝过?究竟是什么味道?

另一个学生写一个邻居为了种“芝麻绿豆”而和另一个邻居吵架。因为对方觉得他种的“芝麻绿豆”长成小树后会生很多蚂蚁和昆虫。但这个种“芝麻绿豆”树的邻居却觉得他种的“芝麻绿豆”发出香味。

你们觉得这些“芝麻绿豆”事件如何??

巫启贤演唱会

星期六晚上,去看了巫启贤演唱会。
去看演唱会和新谣有关,但在众多新谣歌手中,他并不是我最喜欢的。
那场演唱会虽然没有太多新谣,但却是一个难得的回味过去的聚会。
喜欢那场演唱会的人情味。巫启贤究竟是怎样的一个人?

以前对他总没什么好感,因为负面新闻太多。
但是听了演唱会之后,觉得他这个人还蛮真的。
也许是过去误信了不正确的报道,我也希望是这样。
演唱会像一个让他抒发情感,表达感激之情的途径。
他有太多的人要感谢,我很欣赏他这样当众表达情感的方式。
看起来似乎是很重情重义之人。

有亲情、友情、爱情。。。。。。是一场很温馨的演唱会,是个很温馨的聚会。
不说新谣,他的其它歌曲有几首是我很喜欢的,像以下这首闽南语歌曲《叫阮的名》。


《叫阮的名》
作词:何启弘 作曲:巫启贤 编曲:吴庆隆

谁在叫阮的名 一句比一句痛 亲像在问阮甘会惊寒
不需要别人来讲 阮心内嘛知影 是你的声 是你的声

谁住在阮的梦 一住就一世人 尚惊日头会将咱拆散
虽然离开那呢远 阮犹原会知影 是你的影 是你的影

叫阮的名 阮用一生斟酌听 当初细汉未赴乎你了解 你是阮的生命
叫阮的名 阮需要你来作伴 人生的路途阮爱你牵阮走


还有这首《思念谁》也是我很喜欢的。

《思念谁》

你知不知道
思念一个人的滋味
就像喝一杯冰冷的水
然后用很长很长的时间
一颗一颗流成热泪

你知不知道寂寞的滋味
寂寞是因为思念谁
你知不知道痛苦的滋味
痛苦是因为想忘记谁

你知不知道
忘记一个人的滋味就像欣赏一种残酷的美
然后用很小很小的声音告诉自己坚强面对
你知不知道你知不知道你知不知道寂寞的滋味
寂寞是因为思念谁

updates

Now i'm busy doing marking as the school end of year exam has started and my papers came in already. Marking sec 3 express paper 1 and sec 2 express paper 2. I start with the easier one first--paper 2. Still have not finish the paper 2, hope by tonite, i will be able to clear quite a bit and maybe by tomolo can finish paper 2, then friday i can start on paper 1, and the whole of next week to mark paper 1 as well.

Have not been teaching my chinese Literature afternoon lessons for abt 3 weeks already, as i got quite bad 'evening sickness'. Feeling very tired and nauseous in the afternoon. I supposed a few more weeks later i will be able to teach in the afternoon again. If nothing goes wrong, I will be giving my little monster a sibling next year April. Now still dunno boy or girl, but doesn't really matter as long as healthy can already:)
But this time round, i experience more jialat 'evening sickness'. since week 7, have been puking almost everyday. Now is week 12, just 3 months only, the sickness getting better and i dun puke so often, though i just had my puking session yesterday nite. Hopefully the sickness will goes off soon, and i will regain my energy level.

how is everyone? Sometimes i can read the tag box, but most of the time, the box is not visible to me. Even though i re install the box, but still dun function well.

sometimes i wonder how are things in JWSS? Is life there getting better? There are certain things i miss in JWSS...........
