1st day of holiday; 2 mths to enlistment

Tuesday, April 11th, 2006

This is the 1st day of my 3 weeks long hols but was called back for a long meeting which was merely a discussion of the same things over and over again - chasing of students, whether lifeskills module should be graded, vandalism in classroom, timetable …

On the other side of town, these guys are awaiting enlistment to the army. Totally miss them. Spent so much time with them during their last few days in ITE.

Another class that I’ll miss teaching… just see what i’ve been doing with them in class…

Yee Fen, my dear pal wrote an entry about me in her blog, something regarding people’s spending habits and being materialistic. Unknown to her, I’ve splurged on other things like clothes, cameras, handphone (speaking of which I’m moving on to Sony Ericsson pretty soon), makan, booze etc… So despite being okie using facial blotters from Watsons, I m actually spending more than I earn. *yikes.

Ultimately, i always think that when wearing branded goods, the folks MUST be able to carry it off. Simple.
As with the part on some of her frens’ pursue of more branded goods or the insistence of having a car to ferry them around, I’m pretty grounded.

It finally hits home

Went PP for my coffee fix as usual and I saw *.

I dun think i can ever hold an intellectual conversation with anyone, much less a condescending one which pretty explains why i m still where i m.

These days i m pretty quiet in school. The only time i tok is when i see my students. They just crack me up. They are always hopeful.

Tired of people complaining about the system, we ARE in the system. Tired of people asking me what my goals are. Pretty much used to being labelled non-opiniated, nonchalent, not vocal, not committed, not proactive…

I’m not here to compete wif anyone. No one believes i’m just plainly contented with what God gives me.
