An ultraformal important looking letter from the MOE arrived today. 2 questions flooded into my mind when i the envelope was entrusted into my hands:
- Oh God did i like fail my OLevels terribly or something?
- Oh God did i like fail my OLevels terribly or something?
Haha! Yeah, i was so beyond scared to open it. But i took a couple of deep breaths, and braced myself for the worst.
An invitation to enter a 4year NIE course to be a Malay teacher, all tution expenses sponsored (and a monthly salary which increases anually on top of that), after my OLevel results come out. The minimum requirements i have to say, are achievable, and are of my standard. And after the course, i'll have a 5year bond with MOE to be a malay primary school teacher in a primary school somewhere in the sunny island of Singapura.
I have to ponder, did everyone my age in the whole of Singapore got this invitation? My mom was like super proud of me when i told her about the invitation, i suspect she thinks only a selected few got it. Hehe! If you're awaiting for your OLevel results, did you get the invite?
Another brochure fell out, pictures of smiling teachers surrounded with diligent students pasted on its front cover. Buh! Who is MOE trying to kid? haha..
Lalala. Im tempted by the fact that i'll start earning my own buckeroos and becoming a teacher even though i've not entered University as of yet. But a primary school teacher? Hmm. Scary lah. Im scared of primary school kids.
Im scared if they'll poop/pee on the floor. Or if they'll ask me questions regarding the birds and the bees. Or if i accidentally say a foul word (you know how untamed my mouth can be). Or the fact that i'll have to teach Malay from the start. You know the structure of sentences etc. Brrr. Scary.
Apologies for that diversion. So as i was saying, i dont really know what to do. Lalala. What will happen to my dreams of attaining a degree in Psychology, to be a counsellor? And what will happen if i get retrenched after the 5year bond since i wont have a degree? Aaaaah.
