ball-ocks!

My favourite relief periods are Physical Education lessons. You get to wear t-shirt and shorts which is a relief in this very punishing humid weather. Another plus is the free exercise you get while working. Did I forget to mention the fun element?
See, due to pre-existing practices, a handful students from various classes would: - not bring their attire and assume that they need not explain themselves; - feign strange aches everywhere just to skip PE (been there as a student myself so TRY HARDER guys!); - ask to play another game on their own in another venue when the majority of the class has decided on a particular game.
So I always tell them this, "I am in-charge of 40-43 lives during these 2 periods and I have unfortunately been only given ONE pair of eyes. So we stick together in the field/basketball court and play the same sport together. No `BUT we always do this in Mr. X's class.' Have you not realised that I am not Mr. X? By the way, this is PE class NOT sit-one-corner-and-lepak-or talkcock (a local slang for idle chatter) sing-song session. Go out there and have a good sweat. In the meantime, try to have some fun doing it because when you leave secondary school, you will miss PE lessons the most."  Having 2 games of soccer in both ends of the astro-turf means I have to shuttle to and fro both games to monitor that the boys play hard and play fair - an axiom of the PE department I truly like.  This was taken using my N95 handphone. I rather like the outcome of the shot. Labels: fun, work
