Birthday

It came and went. Somehow as I got older, this day seems to be of less importance. Back when I was in school, it was celebrated with a big bang. There'll be lots of presents and cards etc.

Yesterday was a quiet affair for me. Nothing spectacular. There was the usual lesson planning, marking to be completed. Then there was housework to be done at the new home. However, I attempted to bake some cookies to 'celebrate' my big day. What a big project it was, considering that the last time I baked was in Sec 2 during Home Economics lesson. I shall not write too much about the cookies. Will post up some cookie pictures the next time.

Perhaps the only highlight of the day was the Beef Kway Tiao dinner at Geylang. It (not the food)was quite an eye opener... The streets seem to have suddenly come alive with so many 'freelancers' walking around soliciting for business. Times must be bad... or there suddenly seemed to be a surge in 'supply'.... The issue of demand and supply again... Econs can be applied to just about anything!

Anyway, I'm older once again. It's beyond this point that I shall not bother to keep track of my age. Happy Nth Birthday!

I miss my kids

It's amazing why I frequently complained about my kids last year. In retrospect, I think they're so adorable and cute now. (Maybe it's precisely I don't teach them that I find them cute!)

Sometimes when I walk around the school, some of them will walk up to greet me and say 'Hi'. It gives the warm fuzzy feeling that you're appreciated and not forgotten. I've made an impact in their lives!

I saw many of them today. All the 7 of them who went to 3B class, including my darling Syron. He must have put on weight cos he is now wearing an oversized T-shirt. I shall tell him that if I get a chance.

I shall complain less about my current class and try to enjoy their company as much as possible.

Remember in my previous post I mentioned that I wanted to buy Toto because I had bird shit on my hair? Apparently bird shit is not considered luck cos I didn't strike the winning Toto numbers at all.

That probably explains why I blog so infrequently. I'm just too tied up in school.

I'm perpetually tired!

Life has been bad since school started. I hate waking up in the mornings. I just can't do it! I have to let my alram clock snooze 3 times before I reluctantly crawl out of bed. I don't remember having such torturous battles when I was teaching in the afternoon session last year. What happened? Maybe the body just isn't tuned to wake up before the sun rises.

It's been pretty hectic in schools. Everyday I see a new arrow coming my way. Just as I was getting started on setting a Science Test (30 marks), I received news that I've got to set another Science EXAM paper (100 marks!) by next month!

I HATE Science!! It's the most boring subject ever... didn't know why I've been allocated to be in the Science department. They're doing the kids injustice. I'd rather work doubly hard if they put me in some other more decent departments.

Sigh. Too bad there's really nothing much I can do. I can only ramble on and on here. *ramble ramble*

And there's my work review to do, compositions to mark (it's been there unmarked for almost a month), test results to tabulate blah blah blah.

I hope I can win the Toto this week and retire as a billionaire. My luck is not too bad this year..and I've got bird shit on my hair this morning (Don't ask me how this happened!). It's a sign that something big is coming!
