I have jus resumed tuition today after a 2-wk hiatus. Woo. And i have a piece of good news - Tutee no 2 achieved a Good Progress Award! He will be receiving a $50 cash voucher next month. Yay! It's Tutee no 2's first time getting such an award ok! I AM SO PROUD OF PANG XUEMING!

Anyway,i went to teach Tutee no 5 today too. She was quite obedient at first but after a while,she went back to her i-dun-wanna-do-work attitude. Heh. She's weak in her Composition Writing and Chinese conversational skills but she does not want to improve on them! HOW??? -.-

Oh,Tutee no 2's mother treated me to some durians just now. OMG!!! They are just so so so yummy-licious! I have not eaten durians for a longgggggg time and now,i enjoyed them so much. Yum yum yum. BUT alas! I cannot dun wanna eat a lot of them as they contain too much calories. Heh.

Whatever.

So sian.....back to my hectic tuition life again.....BUT i always look forward to the 8th lesson. HA HA.



And oh,before i forget,did i mention that the first good news that i heard today right after i woke up was this -



2万8000人将受益 教师新薪金制 一两周内公布

（2007-12-17）

继部长与高级公务人员，以及1万3700名管理执行人员的最新薪金配套出炉后，2万8000名教师的最新薪金配套相信也会在这一两星期里公布。

　　教育部政务部长吕德耀昨天出席丹戎巴葛集选区“乐龄阅读乐”计划发布会时受访说：“教师们将接到（加薪）好消息。”

　　吕德耀说：“教育部长尚达曼将公布细节。我们可以期待将被引进的改变会确保教师的薪金保持市场竞争力。”

　　根据可靠消息，新的教师薪金制在这一两星期内公布。

　　政府今年调整民事服务薪金时，并未提高教师月薪，而是在年中分发一笔总数相等于0.8个月至1.35个月的薪酬作为调整。

　　今年初，教育部推出“教师专业与个人发展配套”（GROW package），从今年起拨2亿5000万元，在今后三年调整教师待遇、提升专业水平和提高专业辅助计划。

　　吕德耀说，即将宣布的教师薪金制不仅让表现优异的教师升职加薪，也会在“教师专业与个人发展配套”的基础上进一步改善全体教师的福利。

　　他说，尽管经济表现强劲，但教育部招聘教师的反应良好，“虽然离职人数比往年稍多，但这也不让人意外”。

　　他指出，按目前的教师应聘情况，教育部将可实现2010年教师阵容3万人的目标。



Yay!!!!! *jumping around in joy*
