Inclusion of homosexuality in a classroom

I finally know how to incorporate homosexual issue in a math class.

When you create math problem in class, say "Geneen and her girlfriend", instead of "Geneen and her boyfriend".

The inclusionary language is kinda weird but I can now tell people that it is feasible, not necessarily to teach 1 + 1 = 1.

Multi-tasking

I just remember what I learn in our "Favorite" Engaging Mind lesson about Intelligence.

Is the ability of "multi-tasking" considered as intelligence? or it should be the ability to focus?

In reality, we canNOT "multi-task", i.e. perform multiple tasks at one time. We can only do one task at a time.

The term "multi-tasking" should be replaced by "flipping between tasks".

The ability of "flipping between tasks" measures how many tasks can you flip within a certain period of time, or how fast can you flip between tasks.

How many tasks have you flipped today?

I flipped a lot and got nothing done.... as usual.

實習

話咁快兩星期的短期實習尚有一天便完結。感謝神，雖然我有小小無奈，但原來我比一些同學的經歷好得多。

很多人說實習學到的比課堂上的多，甚至有人覺得上堂咩都學唔到。到這一刻，我仲未認同。

上堂的確俾咗一個comfort zone我們，我們有一班同學可以好似屋企人咁互相支持，可以一齊數實習經過的不是=D 課程內容係讓我們更認識自己，準備我們出去打仗的。

課堂的老師灌輸了一個好健康，好正面的教學態度給我們，他們教我們用不同的方法去令學生對學習產生興趣，這一些是我在學校裏尚未看到的。

我好驚訝我要回到膠片的年代，用power point用了六七年，要復古了。我希望我的power point skill唔好退步。

課程教我們好多學習方式，只是大學過程令我們溺斃於抄notes中，但原來係由十一班開始培養出來的。而我教的第一堂也讓學生抄了成堂notes =D

原來IB class係會抄足一個鐘notes㗎！唔怪之得Ｄ人話寫字寫得快係咁練回來。

我又看到Grade 8的老師每隔五分鐘就叫Ｄ學生靜一點。真係好攰。連Ｄ老師上完堂也散哂。

curriculum有咁多嘢，可以用咩方法去令學生學得到呢？學生要在這個制度下生存和取高分，就要按遊戲規則嗎？

點知今日我又看到極奇寬鬆的教學方法。我又可唔可以融合到化學內呢？

下星期又要回到校園，有一大堆功課等緊我，仲有一個月！就有假放啦！努力努力！

Sick

I am finally *sick* after half a year.. it's the longest time ever that i stayed healthy!!

if i have gone to gym.. i think i can stay another week of healthiness.. anyway... gym partner, i won't blame u.. =P I've just made u feel bad already.

I think this week of practicum is too shocking to my body as well.

Today is a Pro-D day and I made a microscope! and I won a beaker mug in a draw! Yes. a beaker mug after the entire grad school... i could have got one easily at the buck a beaker!

It's interesting to see how contradicting the dream of no rote memory yet lead to assessment of learning and still cope with your school system.

Strong thinker ≠ Strong expressor.

I strongly agree. coz I am one of those people.

Let's see how i can incorporate all these "dreams" together.

Anyway.. My throat hurts and I need to prepare to teach for next week. Pray that I am fine please....

食物相

自從有數碼相機開始，見到咩都影一餐。

特別是食物。

好像飲食專欄作家，當張相一見blog，即刻多了不少顧客。

由唔知幾時開始，食物鋪亦不再介意客人拍照。

相片中的近鏡，往往影得食物很吸引，但與實物相比可能相差很遠。

當我發現越來越多此類相片在facebook和blog出現後，突然覺得：

好幸運，因為見到Ｄ食物居然唔需要掛住食，仲有時間去影相先。

好奢侈，因為有好多選擇，擺得唔靚都未必會食佢。

好奇怪，因為當你擺好多呢Ｄ相上網，就會有人問你係咪好鐘意食野，原來「食野」係可以成為一種嗜好，就好似打波睇戲咁，而忘記咗食野係用來維持生命。

好恐怖，因為我和未婚夫都係Ｄ咁變態的人，不單影食物，連杯杯碟碟，鋪頭裝修都影埋，未婚夫仲整咗個相簿㖭。

好變態，因為基本上每個人的facebook photo album入面，都有Ｄ咁嘅相，甚至tag埋scallop, lobster, 同prawn.

我們正活在一個飲飲食食的世界吧！

First day of Short Practicum

I talked to all my three sponsor teachers.

Three different teaching styles.

Three different personalities.

I got home at 3:30 pm.

5 min drive to work and 5 min drive to home.

I haven't been this early since September!

I feel... weird.

To fill up my day, I went to have my eye examination.

So, I can now join my cell group to hunt for contact lenses and eye glasses!!!

When you try to understand the ice berg below the sea level...

learning to communicate

This month, I've learned how to present.

i.e. to learn how to ask questions

i.e. what kinds of questions to ask in addition to the 5W and H.

how does a "silence" work
how to tell if the student is lying
what my presentation style is,
various techniques in presentation
trying to speak in different tones...

I love this class.

Next stage, I need to learn how to listen.

被感動

星期六的音樂會，很感動。好想好似一個小歌迷般揮手，但，我還是靜靜的坐。

鎚心的痛。

耶穌哭了。

神讓你在那裏跌倒，就在那裏把你扶起。

敢於經歷，才會經歷得到，才會成長。

神呀，好深。但係好得。多謝你。

日本名

以前聽過有人叫自己做：

根本英俊

伯父一向食野好快，上次同親戚食飯，風趣的伯娘說伯父的日本名是：

食野太郎

笑死我。

learning to teach is:-

learning to believe that students are not empty vessels.

learning to transform what students previously have.

learning to be a human, be an actor, be an authority.

learning what "truth" is to the world.

learning to connect knowledge to the knowers.

learning "what you conceive" is not equal to "what students perceive".

The First Two Weeks

Overwhelming - by the load of reading, presentations, homework assignments

Shocking - by the course materials about social issues, people with special needs, and concepts in science

暑假後感

話咁快暑假完了，今年的暑假很充實，當六月尾請小組為我有個充實暑假祈禱，神又再一次聽禱告，亦再一次學習承擔禱告實現的後果。這不是一件壞事，雖然很忙碌，但我經歷多了，有更多的故事同人家分享，我很感恩。

想慢慢將這兩個月發生的事同大家分享。

暑假通常較少學生需要補習，但想不到，我的學生居然有五至六個，有些更一星期補不只一次，我忙得沒時間運動，我的收入亦不成問題。

當七月尾，summer school學生陸續離開，有為家長請我"babysit"兩星期，繼續維持了我的收入。

踏入八月，Einstein's Meal開始。我居然仍有兩個補習學生。我亦終於多了一點時間去約一約朋友晚膳。

上星期，我的最最最好朋友來探我。我們行了五個小時山。回想十多年前，做過同樣的事，今天居然差點拐了。原因只有一個：老了。

明天要開學。還記得三個月前找到自己的passion. 下一步，就正如小組的教導，是hard-working. 要記住自己點解咁樣行這條路啊！同埋，唔駛驚，神的供應是充足有餘的。

Tempera Chopstick Stand

The most creative chopstick stand... ever...

味

This is the new Vietnamese Restaurant @ No.3 Road. That's the previous location of 兩可. Unlike the trivial vietnamese restaurant, 味 establishes a clean, healthy environment for customers.

The utensils are specially selected... for the right-handed =P

It is clean, romantic, healthy (no msg!).. but i was still very thirsty afterwards...

Koen + ice cream

My mom is having fun baby-sitting my friend's baby Koen. He is such an adorable boy. When we were testing our ice cream recipe out, we gave him a bit of our "product" as he LOVES eating...

At the Zoo

Honey took me to the Vancouver Zoo and the most exciting part was me talking to the parrot:




Jan: Are you sure you are talking to the parrot?
Me: yes.
Jan: Do you know what is "talking"? Talking is two-way...
Me: heehee... yes. I said "Hello" and he said "hello" I guess that's a two-way conversation. =D

Einstein's Meal - First Class

The first class was fantastic! It's amazing to see my dream come true!

Thanks a lot to Ava for taking pictures for us!
