Gotten my nie results yesterday, which is much of a disaster. There's not much anxiety, because I knew I would graduate with credit, as long as I don't fail any module. :) Of course, I was cursing and swearing at my math education grade, which double confirms the fact that I should never ever go and pursue a phd in math education. At least, not in nie. Apart from this, I was more of relieved that I got credit for my practicum. I felt that it wasn't too bad, though I really hoped I could get distinction. I guess what mattered more than anything else is that, my interest in math rekindled in my practicum school. To me, it is really quite amazing, because I thought it has been completely wiped off in nie.

My friend reminded me of how enthusiastic I was during the first few math lessons. It sounded slightly alien to me, because for a long time, I had not relate the word enthusiastic to nie. To me, enthusiasm and passion existed in nus, but were somewhat wiped off in nie.

Anyway, very soon I'll get to stop bitching bout nie. Because of my encounters in nie, I developed a teaching philosophy, which is, even if I'm not able to inspire all my students to love math the way I do, I shall never kill any student's interest in the subject. I may not be able to value add, but at least, I don't "value-subtract". Lol.

Now, I'll bitch about the excursion this afternoon, which did not interest me at all. I heard of this intelligent robot from yenchin, unfortunately, I did not get to play with it during my visit. So sad. I wanted to make it the highlight of the trip.



I got this from yenchin's blog. :) He seems kind of cool from yenchin's description.

We reached Boon Lay MRT at around 6.10pm, and the station was flooded with people. Scary. Oh man, if I've a choice, I'll never ever wanna step into Boon Lay again. >_<

A beginning teacher. Sleep and rest deprived. Likes math and enjoys teaching it. Misses the days in NUS (2002-2007) where she majored in Applied Mathematics. The math was much more fun at that time. Has lots of idols in the department.
