Top secret ah!

Update: We were warned again today NOT to mention anything about the PSLE marking, even to our own family members, so I gotta rewrite this post. *wriggles fingers*

As everyone knows, marking isn't exactly fun. And this week, we mark from 8am to 5pm! I thank God for the teachers in my team. They are such a fun bunch of people! We spent these 3 days laughing at other teachers and everything under the sun.

Here are some of my favourite moments.

The Cigarette Seller
Yesterday, we nicknamed this teacher 'cigarette seller' because he looks just like one and spent the next hour role-playing (in hokkein) how he would sell cigarettes. Today, we were still laughing at him. Think our students will flip if they hear our silly conversations!

Frisbee Sessions
There are A LOT of male teachers in this centre and from the look of them, they should all be PE teachers. The interesting thing is that since day 1, they gather together to play frisbee during every break. And I found out today that they don't know each other!

Marking @ Palau Tekong
I commented today that MOE should ship us all to a Bintan resort for the 4 days to mark because its so top secret. My team members started giggling and said, "More like ship us to Palau Tekong ah! To some haunted and deserted camp because MOE is soooo niao!"

St. Stephen's Boys
Apparently to teach in St. Stephen's, you must be really really REALLY energetic to run after the boys. The stories I heard make the boys seem like m*******! All the teachers I met can't wait to transfer out from there!

Hair Anniversary day
This higher-up told us that she has a hair anniversary day. Apparently she had really long hair, cut her hair short and noted the date. So we asked when she cut her hair. More than 30 years ago she replied. We all agreed that she was super bo liao.

Names and numbers
Till now I don't know any of my team members' names. Yes we have hung out with each other for 9 hours for the past 3 days. As you can tell, we have been addressing each other by our marker codes. What has MOE done to us!
