I am very proud of my class. They worked really hard to make the play a success. This is the first time that I did not have to contribute much to the play. In the past I have to see to everything from script writing, to sound and music to directing. I had to attend all rehearsals if not the class will not stay back to practise.. remember all that ex 5B... But I had a blast then too.
This time, I merely helped with the script and dished out some advice. My class is quite creative. The props were rather cool and the acting was good. I am also pleased at how cooperative everyone was to make the play a success. Hip hip hooray to 31.. a Class I have grown to adore.
Anyway, I have been busy lately.. busy trying to recover from a severe bout of flu. My nose was like a faulty tap, constantly leaking and my throat was sore and hoarse. But I have the perfect remedy for sore throat. It is bitter needle tea. It is so bitter that you will need only ONE tea leave for a cup of water. I drank three cups when I realise that my throat was very sore and the next day, my throat was not so painful. But it didn't do anything for my nose. I have to stop drinking it though because I am asthmatic and drinking it on ordinary days can give me an asthma attack because apparently it is too 'cooling'.
Now, I am scrambling to finish marking my test papers. I didn't mark last week when I was sick. I slept the three days away when I was on medical leave and now I have to sprint really fast to catch up on my marking. Besides the Sec4 and 5 are sitting for their prelim exams soon and I am busy marking their scripts as well.
I have a new class: Sec 5B. They seem rather obedient and well-behaved. I hope they stay that way. The 'O' levels are coming and if they are not serious about English, they would regret it thoroughly. Only 69% of the Sec 5 cohort passed English last year. Those who did not score at least a D7 could not enter the polytechnics, much to their dismay and chagrin. I hope everyone in 5B will pull through. :)
