All teachers in my school dread "Open Day". That's the time we put up a "show" for parents who come to observe lessons. What was supposed to be just 2 classes of Open Day ended up with 5 classes due to some idiots' mistake. Instead of sending a circular out to inform about the mistake, they decided to torture us through another round of stress. Hate it!
Everything went on quite smoothly but of course we can't please every parent. Some just simply had to put some negative comments. Some were plain rude, chatting among themselves while the lesson was going on. Forget about punctuality here too. Half-way through lesson many of my students would look away from me & towards the door coz some stupid parent came late.
I had to fight for attention with crying babies too. I just don't understand why they are so inconsiderate, letting their crying child affect the whole class. Can't they just bring the baby out a little while? Their child won't die if their mother isn't observing the full lesson, right?
Anyway that's probably the last Open Day for me over here. Hope there isn't any in Japan....

Happy Birthday, Ah Ke!
Ah Ke celebrated his 19th birthday today. Bought him a little chocolate muffin. He had a candle to blow & we cut the muffin together. His present was new skin on his legs. He looked really happy.
Can't believe he's already 19 years old! He's like my baby. A cute baby who never grows up!
I think I'm gona miss Ah Ke a lot when I go to Japan. I don't want to bring him along coz Ah Ke represents me in Singapore. And I'm scared he'll be lost in baggage or lost in mail. Or that the customs would think I'm smuggling drug in him. Hehehe.....
