ZPS ENTERPRISE DAY 2007









EARLY MORNING

reached school super early this morning.

0615hrs to be exact.

usually, i'm not even up at this time, but somehow i managed to step into sch early this morning. wanted to take a bus to sch but in the end i still succumbed to the temptations of a cab...

din really get a good rest last night.

i think i even heard pple knocking on my door ard 11pm...

luckily i had Zhang Ying on 88.3 to keep me company...

***

i have a cold, a sore throat, 2 blistered heels and a swollen left hand.

accidentally knocked into the wall in my sch this morning... suffered a small cut too.. the area is now slightly bruised... but much better than wat i saw this mornig at ard 8am. din noe that it would create an impact.. i always tot that knocks and bruises dont hurt that much.. itz normal.. esp for a person who gets bumped so very often.. but this morning i realised that it is not the case. ouch.

pple say i'm too soft hearted, too indecisive and too easily swayed by my emotions. as a result i always kenna arrowed and given situations where i cannot simply just refuse them and say no.

pple also say that i am stubborn and i insist on getting things done my way without allowing any room for communication nor negotiation....

what do you think?

***

it's a very very bad monday today. and i have totally no idea what i am writing.

the only consolation? my flu seems to be a lil better. hope i recover in time for the P6 Oral examinations later this afternoon.

and yes. dear's having his 1st paper today... promised to wake him up @ 645am but i din. luckily he managed to wake up by himself. sorry dear.. i'll make it up to you by waking you up tom morning? haha....

i miss you...

reality check: 3 more days of freedom for me before i get drown in the sea of work.

SINGAPORE NEWS

Education Officers to get pay rise of between 5% and 8%


SINGAPORE: The Education Ministry will raise the salaries of its teachers by between 5% and 8%. This works out to 0.8 to 1.35 months of their salary and will not take into account any increases due to promotion. Education Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said the pay rise is in line with the Civil Service salary review. He reiterated that it is a challenge to bring into the teaching profession those with talent and passion.

Mr Tharman was speaking at a Senior Education Officer promotion ceremony on Tuesday. The minister also gave an update on the various schemes for the teaching service. One of them is the Professional Development Leave, which has been enhanced to allow teachers with at least 12 years of service to take full pay leave for up to 10 weeks to engage in professional development activities. Mr Tharman said about 3,330 of the more than 8,000 teachers eligible for the scheme, are keen on it. As for the part-time teaching scheme, he noted that there are now 200 teachers, a 63% increase.

"The GROW Package introduced last September represents the Ministry's commitment to ensure that teaching remains an attractive and satisfying career for our officers," said Mr Tharman. "Adding the GROW Package measures to the recently announced performance-related payment from the Civil Service salary review, our Education Officers will receive a pay increase of between 5% and 8% in total (or 0.8 to 1.35 months of salary), without taking into account the increases due to promotion," he added. GROW stands for Growth of Education Officers through better Recognition, Opportunities and seeing to their Well-being. "We are able to keep the salaries of our Education Officers in line with the market because we have pro-actively reviewed our remuneration package and stayed one step ahead. And we will continue to do so," said Mr Tharman. - CNA/ir
