Good start

Had my first assembly in school this morning. Actually assembly is quite boring for students. They have to sing four songs in assembly including the national anthem, state anthem, school anthem, and a song named "Keranamu Malaysia".

The girls' discipline is not as good as how I first thought. They will make use of every little chance to chat and create chaos. As my school is located at Bukit Gasing, there are monkeys around the school, especially the area nearer to the forest (i.e. the hall). Some girls noticed a few monkeys this morning during assembly and started to scream. Then the other girls started to make noise even though the monkeys are actually very, very far away from them. The prefects failed to control the condition until Pn. Tan (the GPK HEM) had to shout and scold the students then only the girls calmed down and kept quiet.

People said that "three women equals to one market" (三个女人等于一个巴刹）. I think that explains of why the girls were so noisy during assembly =p

Went to the Chemistry laboratory to have a look at the set up of desktop and LCD projector there. Spent an hour to fix the things as the lab assistant actually knows nothing much about it. Then the LCD projector isn't fixed properly as it is at a weird angle where students might have difficulties to look at the presentation.

However, the problem is solved after I stood on the table to adjust it manually and fix its position manually with a rope.

(Hope that none of the student saw me while I was standing on the table.)

The students are not as ego as I thought. They enjoyed the PowerPoint presentation and computer simulation. They said that none of their teacher has done teaching in PowerPoint presentation before. So, I am actually the first!

Everything went smooth =) And I actually used less time than expected! Anyway, I just let them did the practice in the class while chit-chatting a bit with them.

It's a good start!
