its been quite an up and down week....
just sunday, we went on a yacht to celebrate Fel and Mk's engagement. while there, i chatted w DF and heard tt some of my ex-students actually liked me! tt was so nice to hear... so tt was quite an up.
oh, on the same day, FM and i went to take photos with his black metal casing on four wheels cos he's getting a new white metal casing on four wheels too. it was fun....
den a major down. the impending return of my sis finally arrived on the 29th jan. even before that, my mom oredi made physical shifts (even tho her dear princess hvn't even board the plane from the states yet). i was particularly upset cos of how i perceived the favoritism. whilst i noe tt she loves us both a lot, its still painful to hv to leave thro this again and again, the preferential treatment to the other party. it was so painful i cried everyday. i tried ignoring my mom. but tt made it more painful... sigh... usual thots of moving came into the pic. its just a phase i hv to go thro each time she 'returns'. sounds like she's worse than terminator. terminator says "i will be back"... once? hers neva ends... lol...need a miracle...
another down... feel sick again. last two days were so bad. yest i went to FM's place.. just to nap for a couple of hours. ha ha. i guess tt helped in the recovery. i'm feeling better now. still sleepy... but better. strange how u become a sleeping monster when u are sick... i still dun really understd the rationale. (yeah, i noe its for body to recuperate, so it can focus on fighting virus, but to be sleeping all the time... much more than the required 8 hrs/day.. i still dun get it).
got reports from my students who received their O level results. the batch tt i've seen grow from S1 all the way. most of the reports came in with A2s. 50% distinction for pure geog. so i'm happy. i really miss my students. i really miss teaching. a couple of nights ago, i dreamt of talking to some of the gals i taught. i really really missed that.....
speaking of which, my ex-boss tried to entice me (and another fren of mine who left early last year) to return to the system. ex-boss tried to remind me how 'noble' the job is. it is indeed rewarding, minus the award and meritous chasing system, minus the expected altruistic but run in a corporate manner system (how do they come together??). guess wat was used as the carrot? a "to spring up and develop to maturity" / "to increase in size by assimilation of material into the living organism or by accretion of material in a nonbiological process " / "to develop from a parent source " / "to pass into a condition " package. thanks for reminding me that it pays well. and its gonna pay better. whilst i miss the stable income i used to get, i miss the times i spend with my kids more in the past, but i noe if i continue in the system, i'll also end up with less time for them... so i'll give it for a pass for now.. until perhaps i've reached the age where they stop trying to push me to climb.
meanwhile, i've really gotten loads of food... pineapple tarts, bah kwa, prawn rolls, choc cake i baked for FM's bday... but cant consume as fast cos of the cold/flu... ha ha... plus sleeping a lot.. i think i'm putting on pounds AGAIN!
oh oh... and here are the pics of one of the bday treats i gave to FM. he really liked them! :)
this one's my (and his) favorite:
anywayz, tt's the end of this long long post... and let's hope i'll choose the suitable pieces for my LTCL.. and let's hope i'll pass it... *fingers-crossed* + a lot of work coming up.
