call me drama queen of simei.....acted in 2 dramas on the same dae last wed...
scene 1: YM was trying to dash across the bend wif high traffic....tried to stop him...he cried, shouted, pushed, struggled, hit.....tore his pants accidentally in the midst of it....we took 45 minutes to walk a 100m straight pavement...(-.-)"' he insisted on dashing across as much as i persisted that he follow me....
scene 2: when we reach the supermarket, all was almost calm...then the 2nd male lead WP screamed n made a lot of noise when we were paying up...he wanted to take the receipt which i din allow fer fear that it will become a newly-developed routine...it seemed like ages that we struggled there...tho it was only 1/2 hr...the whole supermarket n all those outside the supermarket were looking at us....from the top view, you can see concentric circles surrounding both of us....he blocked the escalator and no one cld pass...tho some pple still manage to squeeze thru....i had no more energy to struggle wif him tho he was skinny...cos most of my energy used up wif YM liao...he's such a stout n strong boy....in the end, 2 ladies came to help...they practically carried him up the escalator...by then, security was behind us....
it realli tested my patience that day....but i was angriest wif my co-teacher....while i was cot in scene 1, he was taking photos of WP's bad behavior...n letting go of TR's hand...where he nearly walked onto the road....i had to scream from 80m away to ask him to put away his phone n that TR was gg onto the road....passerbys at the bus stop approached me if i needed help....so paiseh...
then at supermarket, he still had time to buy his canned soup for himself....n while paying up, he lost W who had gone up the escalator....i'm stuck wif WP...how am i gg to get W? had to run to the escalator in the end and gestured for W to take the down-riding escalator....luckily he understood me n i nid not shout ani further to attract more attention.....one lady came up to gave words of encouragement saying that we are doing well oreadi...n told us to take care....
in the end, i let all of us cool down n calm down at the entrance of eastpoint...called yh n asked for reinforcement....avel, my previous co teacher, came...more manageable but still had some problems getting YM to cross the road....
dear george, wif 4 students we oreadi cannot handle, wad more 6? he said he was really tired...i refused to give any comments...standing there taking of only 1 out of 3 students at a time makes u tired? cldnt stand toking to him animore that dae....just told him we will debrief on another dae....i had to cool down....
tok to him on fri...hence late fer my psych frens' gathering....all thanks to him smoking downstairs fer 45 min...too much! so i told him off....n made him stay back wif me till 7.30pm....where everyone had gone home....more convenient to tok then too....still had to take into consideration his ego.....haiz....he understood some of the points that i brot up....but more imptly, i hope the situation will be improved....chose a fri so that he can tink bout it over weekend...n oso i dun haf to see him fer the next 2 daes so that the awkwardness can die down a little....
i actualli did do reflection on my part.....was i being to hard on him? was i being too demanding? was i being too perfectionist? was i trying too hard to change behaviors of the students? haiz....mabbe i shld tone down my domineering role in the class....
he used to call me "my princess"....haa...now probably "my witch".......=P
