And here endeth the first lesson...

Today was my first day in school. Only this time, I was a teacher. The day began interesting enough with the weather being cloudy after last night's some drizzle (I would know as I was only half asleep last night thinking of my first day at school again. Anyway the usual Friday Yassin recital was canceled and I had some extra time to prepare for my classes. The morn also brought the other substitute teachers too. Out of 8 teachers that was requested, about five arrived, much to the delights of the Penolong Kanan. Penang is really such a small place, one substitute teacher is now working along some of the teachers that used to teach her. Another teacher actually came from my kampung. Small world indeed.

However, my first class was a huge let down, more than half of the class was absent because they were called off to the hall for some kind of briefing or the sort. My second class was better with only a handful of students were absent and I could get the ball rolling with them. My third class was better with the students were a sporty lot and volunteered to answer question. However, they do seem to like to scream, shout and make a lot of fuss though... Something that needs to be rectified sooner than later.


Anyway, things went smoother than I anticipated and I managed some good data too. From the Mosque to the bus stop (plus some time use to eat delicious Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin) is around 45 minutes. Bus stop to the Jetty bus terminal is another 45 minutes and another 30 minutes from Jetty to my house. A two hours trek... reminds me of my KL days....
