Life

My colleague's mother passed away. The second impact came to her less than a month later - her husband contracted cancer. My primary. secondary and JC friend cum neighbour lost her mother too. It was an unexpected death. I attended two wakes in a week. During the wakes, they grieved over their mothers' death and recalled the good old days with their mothers. Unknowingly, my tears also struggled around the rims of my eyes, and dripped uncontrollably.

I'm glad my family members are well. Treasure them before it's too late.

1st break

CNY was over very soon. It was not the first time I didn't enjoy myself much. Maybe the time spent with cousins was too short. Maybe I felt left out by my cousins. But the food was good this year, because my mum spent lotsa time preparing food in SG and bringing it over to MSIA.

Since I don't know when, I started to change. I became anti-social. Is it due to my busy schedule? Friends jio me out, but I just don't feel like going out. I prefer to spend time with myself. Why am I like this?

I'm not producing good results at work. It's really disheartening. Sigh, and I know I cannot satisfy everybody and make everybody like me. The one week break is coming. I'm looking forward to take a good break.

Last week I went for SPA course. And I met my secondary 4 form teacher!! Oh man! I was so delighted to see him again after 9 years!! And the best is HE REMEMBERED ME!!! Then I realised he is actually quite tall leh! I think he is taller than 1.8m We chatted quite a bit and I got to understand him a lot more. I even asked him a question whether is he a jovial person in realistic. He replied it was his first year of teaching and he heard many terrible stories about my class, and many teachers were telling him about my class. Hence, he had to put a stern face. But he added that my class was his best class with 100% distinction in Science. After our class, he used our results to motivate his other classes. He also added that he would used a different appraoch for my class now - show more care and concern. He also said that many classmates were spoilt. But I didn't ask who. One thing that didn't change was that he was still defensive of himself. The second day of training, he was only there for 2 hours. I'm touched he remembered me.

Teachers will touch your hearts. Even though my whole class hated him, I am glad he made a difference in my life.

I hope this will push me on. Meanwhile, I must take a good break. 2 sets of Korean drama are waiting for me.
