  • 昨天上夜课时,我发现我的一个中四生将我给他的其中一张卡片,放在钱包里放照片的地方。

    原来,我们的鼓励,对他们这么重要。

  • (浪:我读了你的别人以外的别人的故事,虽然还不能完全释怀,但心情平复了许多。)

    陆陆续续传来许多人的慰问,也庆幸还有两位力挺到底的好友,不离不弃。

    说过的话,我收不回了。但,那情绪、那眼泪。。。是真的。

    我会听你们的话,尽量享受筹备的过程。

    我还在思考这场婚礼的意义。。。也许我真该重新定义。

  • I broke down this morning in the bathroom as I imagine how pathetic I will be on my wedding day. I tried to assure myself that everything will be okay but just can't help imagining the worse.

    All along I had about 5-6 Jiemeis in mind, all from sec sch. But in the end,

    1 had to go on a school trip.

    1 had another wedding to attend in the day.

    1 had some reasons which I don't know.

    I did not want to anyhow ask anyone because I want my good friends around. I want all of them to know one another. I don't want anyone to feel out of place.

    I am not blaming anyone because I am definitely in no position to. It's probably my own fault that I am in such a situation now.

    Won't be having hen's night. I am even thinking of not having gate-crashing. I mean what's the point? And just imagine how pathetic it is to turn up at the groom's place with 2 or 3 Jiemeis...I am fine if there are no comparisions. BUT both my sis-in-laws had so many...I hate it hate it hate it. I sooo hate myself for comparing.

    I so feel like calling everything off but I can't...

  • I guess there are always some regrets in life, but we can learn to be positive about them...

    Like I enjoyed but did not enjoyed thoroughly my Mayday concert because clever me brought wj along. He did not know much about Mayday and fell asleep towards the end while most of us were standing and screaming and singing. And because of him...I did not stay till the end.  Although I am not really a big big fan of Mayday but I love them, love their songs, love their 态度. I was crazy that day, but I could have been crazier. I was quite upset about the concert till my colleague said: 他这么累还陪你去看五月天演唱会...which kind of woke me up. I am not sure if I would accompany him to watch a 4-hr soccer match...

    Next, we are not going to Japan for our honeymoon in Dec. I was looking forward to going to Hokkaido to see snow...we went to Natas, couldn't agree on certain stuff, ended up signing a tour package to Korea. I really wanted a free and easy honeymoon trip to Japan.   Well, there's still next year, I made him promise me a free and easy trip to Japan...and SMAP better have their concert next year.

  • Waiting for husband to come out from his 'meditation' so that we can go for lunch. Did quite a bit of housework this morning and have to rush some markings after lunch. Although I can't really rest on Teachers' Day, but I am quite grateful for the day off to finish off some work.

    First Teachers' Day in my new school was very heartwarming. I got more presents in my previous school but the presents I get here is so...touching. I teared when I read what some of them wrote in their cards.

    Jie Lun from my 4Exp class gave me this really BIG card...it's probably bigger than 2 A4 size papers. But what's so touching is what he wrote inside...

    Jun Yang gave me something smaller...but equally touching~

    Qing Ru from my 4NA wrote something for me too...

    DSC01797

    Jie Min gave me a notebook...and drew+wrote 'our story' inside...

    DSC01792

    *Forgot to take pictures of what she drew and wrote inside...

    Students here made me feel that I have made an impact on their lives and they really appreciate what I have done for them. But actually they are the ones who have really taught me many things. They inspired me and made me realise what kind of teacher I really want to be. ..

    Happy Teachers' Day to all teachers out there. I believed we all started out with passion. But there are so many times when we felt disillusioned, jaded, worn out etc. Then all the negative feelings and words start to appear. We face many challenges today, not only because of students, parents and our bosses, but also because more and more people with the wrong mentality join the force and some people who started out full of passion lose themselves in the midst of all the struggle for power. 在争权夺利的过程中,我们牺牲了我们的下一代。It's sad but we can't do much about it because it's the way things are going to be. Anyway, 高处不胜寒, I am contented with where I am now. I hope young teachers taking up leadership positions will always remember that Education is for the children, not for their own gains. Do not hanker after 虚名,凡事都要以学生为出发点...

    These are my Sec 4 Darlings...this photo was taken after their Os Chinese Paper on June 1st. They came to my plc for BBQ and Wii   (Jas: Did u find JS in the pic? He did very well for his CL paper!)

    Although I only started teaching them this year, but they are sooo dear to me, well...most of them.

    Most of them did not disappoint me...I am very proud of them. =)

    Busy now with the 4NAs who are having their CL paper in less than 2 weeks time. Afternoon coachings, Night coachings, Sat coachings. They do do and do...we mark mark and mark. Many people asked me what am I really busy with...am I really so busy till I can't meet them?

    I have been coming home around 8pm almost everyday, and 10pm on Mon and Thurs. I go back to school every Sats because there are events and coachings for the graduating classes. I need to do housework. I need to mark.

    I have chose this path myself and I will put in my best. I work hard, not for promotions, but for my students. Sounds cliche but it's true. My transfer to my current school has again ignited my passion for the job and I really hope 我能一直坚持下去。

    P/S 1: Looking forward to Mayday concert this sat!

    P/S 2: How come no news of SMAP con yet??? I need to book my honeymoon tix soon!!!

  • I am back from the 10 km run by SAF...My whole body is falling apart.

    I was sort of forced to join by wj since some of his colleagues are joining. Initially I told him I don't mind doing the 6km fun run which is already a big challenge for me but when he was signing up for me online, he chose 10km for me, saying that we can run together.

    Trust me, I almost killed him for it.

    We did not really train for it. Well, we jogged outside once. He went to the gym once in a while and I swam abit every week...but we were really not prepared for it. I almost pulled out but then since we paid for it, might as well go see see.

    We couldn't wake up on time and were late this morning so we started off about half an hour later than the other 10km girls (the guys one was earlier and wj missed it..) First 2 km was a breeze...3km was ok...4km i gave up and walked. Wj sticked with me throughout and I was quite touched...although I don't know whether it's because he wants to eat snake.  Rest of the run, we ran 1km then walked abit...ran 1km then walk abit. Well, I am proud to say I ran most of it which is a great accomplishment for me who is soooo unfit.

    Will I go for another run? Maybe...after all, the after feeling is quite shiok. Although my whole body is aching and I feel really tired, but it always feels great after a workout/swim/run. I used to feel this way after my kickboxing sessions every Sat during my Uni days. But...I have decided that 10km is my max, no half or full marathon for me. NO WAY. I have no intention of challenging myself further...
