It’s over!

h1 Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

At last.. it’s all over for me!
No more consultations..
No more late sessions..
No more practice papers..
No more tys..
Yay!

However, it’s not totally over for the kids!
In fact, it’s just begun.
Today was their Chem paper.. their first paper… for most of them.
They still have to make sure they do well for Physics and their MCQs.
After that.. it’s REALLY over.
Till then, work hard kids.. good luck!

And now.. I need to work on my 3E1!

Life’s lessons

h1 Sunday, October 21st, 2007

On love..
You will meet many people who will sweep you off your feet but there’s only one who will always be there to pick you up.

On friendship..
There are many types of friends.
The ones you call each day.
The ones you call once a fortnight.
The ones you call once a month.
The ones you call on special occasions.
It doesn’t matter which category they belong to.
What matters is when you call them, you never run out of things to talk about.

On hard work..
It doesn’t matter where you start but where you end that counts.

On family..
Family is always important.

On happiness..
If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.
People will always judge you. So love yourself.. cause if you don’t, others won’t.
Most importantly, you always have two choices – be happy or not.

Happy Goodbyes

h1 Monday, October 15th, 2007

No tears this year.. Yeaps.. we didn’t cry. However, Karen said she cried during my speech! LOL! Tsk tsk tsk! It wasn’t even a sad speech! I promised myself not to cry and I didn’t. Clarisse said I was good cos I didn’t cry. I made a happy speech.. and apparently all the other form teachers made happy speeches too. After my speech, I hugged all the girls and some of the boys in my class. I will miss all of them. Both my 5N1 and 5N2. It’s been three long years. They are good kids.. most of them. I wish them well and hope they’ll lead amazing lives. We took photos and said our goodbyes. Well.. its not like we won’t see each other again.. we will.. for consultations and of course for the exams.

So for now.. I hope they will concentrate on their studies and focus on getting their best grades EVER!

Remember kids.. this is the last leg of the race.. you give it your best and trust me, you will reap the rewards!

Updates

Oh my.. it’s been a while. Been busy. Very busy.

Thony arrived. We went out a lot for dinners.. cause we were too busy with work to entertain him during the day. Poor guy. He walked down Orchard Road, Chinatown, Geylang Serai, Chinese Garden, Sentosa, Vivo City and many more.. all by himself. We accompanied him to Geylang on a separate occasion to eat and shop.. and to Chinese Gardens to play with the lanterns. It was nice. We went to Genting over one of the weekends. Tiring trip but fun. When Thony left, Che’s mom, sister and friend arrived. They went to KL over the weekend.. for shopping! And now they are back. They’ll leave a day or two before Hari Raya.

Our home has become like a hotel.. lol.. lots of entertaining to do.

Fasting month already started. Ermm yeah well.. it’s almost coming to an end. Haha! We haven’t shopped! Yikes! Maybe this weekend? Hmm.. Geylang Serai during fasting month on weekends.. not something you want to do.

In the meantime, its been consultation, consultation and more consultation. I hope the kids know that their teachers are willing to do almost anything for them. However, they cannot assume that we can always fit into their schedule. They have to fit into ours. We also have our emergencies from time to time.. like today.. migraine came.. couldn’t teach properly.. head was pounding. Tried my best. The Sec 1s were having their practical exam.. so I had to come to school.. I couldn’t leave them alone. After their exam, I went home. Slept through the entire afternoon. Migraine refused to go. I think I needed food. After breaking my fast, ate a bit and took meds and it was gone. Food therapy. Haha. I think food and sleep are my basic essentials.

There are still many things to do. Marking.. consultations.. remarks.. testimonials.. more consultations.. preparing extra lessons for 3E1 after the exams.. and preparing for Hari Raya.. WOW-ing.. haha.. my oh my.. oh well.. one thing at a time.

Alrighty.. for now.. it’s time to rest. Nighty night.
