Dugaan

Well, i juz lost my mood. and to think i was having an OK day. god damn it.
some ppl juz dun think do they?

mak dia punya laki punya cucu nye mak ah sudah bikin aku ni marah sgt. i was in quite a good mood. some of my "low-risk" students are in this program where they learn to cook. it has been goin on for some time now and tdy some of us were invited for a TD lunch. oooh wat a spread they readied for us. so there i was enjoying a hell of a meal wif fellow colleagues ang mingling wif the kids, being proud of them tt they did a gd job. and one outsider haf to spoil the day for me!!!

wat happened was, some of my sec1 kids decided to stay back aft skl, wanted to borrow some badminton rackets and shuttles to play. so followin procedure, i loaned them the eqpmt wif their EZlink cards as "collateral".

at 420, they came to look for me while i was eating at the ND room. so i told them to give me a few minutes while i finished my crab. it took me less than 5 minutes to get back to them. right after i finished returnin them their cards and kepin the equipmt, the office called me and told me a parent was on the line lookin for me.

i picked up the call and u noe wat. i was reprimanded. a woman on the line accused me of holding her son's card and not being responsible. i shldn't haf kept her son back for so long. i had to be diplomatic. i told her it was procedure tt i keep the card to make sure that the borrowers return them and in good condition. then she went on tellin me she was disappointed in me la tt i had no responsibility la bla bla bla n tt she will report me to my P. i immed told her go ahead. if she wans to tell my P, then go ryt ahead. i juz stayed calm and tried to explain myself but since she wans nothin of it, then wat can i do? her son is all gd, i m in the wrong??
Was i the one who encouraged her son to go hm late n not tell his mom? NO!
Did i not want to return her son's card and purposely held her son back? NO!
Did i hide myself so that the kids wldn't b able to find me n purposely made her son go back late? NO!
I was irresponsible in agreeing to lend them the epmt and agreein tt they wanted to go back at 430. i was being irresponsible becoz i did not babysit them while they played their badminton. i was being irresponsible coz i left my desk, n did not patiently wait for them juz in case they wanted to return the eqpmt early.

kids r so protected nowadays. we cant touch them, n even when we help them we get screwed. bloody hell, sometimes i do think if itls all worth it.
