Teaching and teaching and teaching....TEACHING AND TEACHING AND TEACHING.....BUT OSO GOT RELAX LAH!!
Wow it's been a very very very long time since I last posted sth on my blog...muz hav been really busy recently i guess...yup, basically teaching & teaching & teaching & teaching & teaching.... even though I only have 1 class to teach, i still felt busy. Maybe it's bcuz i made it a point NOT to do any work on Saturdays, or if not, the whole weekend...hahahaha...I wan to enjoy work first before the full load of NIE assignments come in... Anyway, just to update on my homework chasing, making the kids stay back on Friday to complete their HW b4 they can leave was quite useful. At least most of the HW came in, even though there were some HW which were BLATANTLY copied. Nevertheless, it was still not a 100% submission of HW though... haiz... maybe next time shd nt give HW, so that no need to chase. Just let them do all de work in class, but tat'll take up quite alot of time, and not everyone would actually do it, and tat wld result in blatant copying again... wat to do?????
Well, at least besides teaching and teaching, managed to take time off to relax oso... On Wednesday (11 July), I went out with a friend for dinner...wanted to go to rice table at first but it closes quite early, so we went to lemon grass at heeren instead. It was quite a nice and memorable dinner cuz tis dinner was one which I can say that "I "fought" for it!!!"... If not for what I had previously done with unexpectedly amazing courage which somehow came to me, tat dinner would never possibly materialize. If you actually knew what I had done that day on 24 June, you'd definitely be shocked and surprised at what I was actually capable of... Wanna bet??? And it was actually a treat from me to my friend, but frankly speaking, my money was spent more for the company of that friend (even though it lasted only abt 1.5 hr at most) rather than the food itself. Cuz we only started dinner at about 8.45pm, but somehow, i wasn't hungry at all, especially in front of that friend...so needless to say, we left some "tips" (a nicer word for leftovers..haha) for the waitors and waitresses to clear...hehe... In retrospect, even if after all that I've done to fight for what I wanted, things dun turn out the way I want it to, I will still not feel that my efforts were in vain. At least for that moment, I was satisfied with myself that I actually possessed such courage to really fight for what I wanted...hmm...is tat an indication that what I was trying to pursue was sth that i really truly wanted??? Somehow, I tink that I take greater pleasure in the PROCESS of pursuing something rather than the object of my pursuit itself, such that when I successfully obtain the object of my pursuit, it somehow starts to lose its appeal to me... quite an irony..lol... So far, regarding this episode on the dinner thingy (which might be considered part of the process of my pursuit of sth...), I hav yet to successfully obtain the object of my pursuit...wonder if one day, if i ever successfully obtain the object of my pursuit, would it likewise mark the beginning of its loss of appeal to me???
In any case, to that friend whom I treated dinner that wednesday, all the best to you as you embark on a new phase of your life... :) May the trials and testings you've gotta go through during this period make you a stronger, better and more mature person! May God grant you not only physical strength, but also a strong willpower to overcome all that you have to! Trust in Him always and He shall direct your paths! :)
