Great, after gastrics flu over the weekend, now I get plagued by the cough virus.
It all just started when I was preparing to hit my bed and get some sleep. First was a couple of coughs, and then now it has erupted into a continuous one which has made me so uncomfortable, I can't get any sleep.
The cough's making my chest wince in pain, argh!!!
Why do I feel like my holidays are no fun at all?

Argh, I can't believe I started my holidays by falling sick.
Gees, I can simply imagine what a nice holiday it will be.

That's how I felt today...
Kickstarted the day in a bad tone, waking up on the wrong side of the bed. I was so unwilling to crawl out of bed, I had to almost drag myself up.
Came to work by cab, which in a way was good because it started raining while I was still in the cab. Cannot imagine if I had walked to school from the MRT station instead. I would have been one drenched and extremely dishevelled teacher. Anyhow, reached school, did the usuals, then it was time for the emergency exercise.
About the exercise, it was generally okay, the boys were pretty well behaved, since making noise wasn't considered into the criteria of good behavior today. But one thing though, it was so HOT!!!!! The sun was scorching blazing red hot and I had to stand under it for almost an hour. *Sob sob* I think I might have gotten darker, although actually... I applied sunblock just before I went for my lessons and the emergency exercise. Hehehehe.
But still, after the exercise, I was plagued with this nagging headache and gnawing pain in the neck. I felt pretty bad, that after the buffet in the canteen, I went back to the staffroom and promptly got knocked out for almost 20 minutes before Yiru came over and asked me down for the meeting in the Auditorium. The debriefing session at the Auditorium was quite alright, but I left halfway to attend my CCA and then I stayed in school till 7+ before finally coming home, and sitting here typing this entry.
Okay, that's it for now.

Was reading this top story on The New Paper today, and after reading it, I felt rather horrible. I can't believe that in Singapore, there's still such tragedies taking place. A poor man decided to end his life, and with his death unveiled dark secrets which might have been the reasons for him to choose this path.
Can you believe in Singapore, there are still people who thinks of eating chicken rice as a form of luxury?
Everyone seems to have taken their stability in lives for granted, that we no longer remember how it felt to be poor and penniless. We have been having such cosy lives, that we forgot there are people who are having a hard time just trying to stay alive and feed themselves without having to sacrifice their dignity and seek for assistance. It seems like we have been living a life so comfortable, we forget so many basic things we should never have forgotten.
Suddenly, I feel so guilty for having cabbed to school everyday for this week, for eating the Subway sandwich I was craving for, for taking cab rides home after school when I felt tired. Maybe I should have spent my monies more wisely and prudently. Or maybe, I should have saved it, lest for rainy days.
But anyhow, I think I learnt something from this tragedy that happened so close to us. One should never take anything for granted, and do save up for rainy days!

This will be a short short entry.
Rather quiet day till late afternoon when work came in.
Work for year 2007 has been set, and I will be in charge of teaching Secondary 1 Chinese and Higher Chinese, plus Secondary 2 Express Chinese, meaning I would be taking 2-1 next year. Hahaha. Not going to follow up with 1-7 to 2-7 next year... Hmm.
Some unhappy events again today... flew a few people kite because of the delay in some important matters, and could not answer or reply my phonecalls due to the same matters.
Secondary One and Two moderation exercise tomorrow. Hopefully, all I know will just pass and move on to the respective levels.
Anyway, this working year is coming to an end. Hopefully, next year will be a better one.
Too tired to really blog proper, hence signing off now with my favourite quote.
Sleeping is a luxury!
Haha.

Today's been a bad bad day...
Details, I don't wish to elaborate again. It wasn't specifically anybody's fault, just I couldn't figure out why people fought over such trivial matters, and why everyone couldn't just let me do what I want peacefully.
Anyhow, it's been a bad and saddening day. I don't know how many of these I can take. I need a good break.

It's been a quiet day at home. Slept most of my Saturday away, save for spending some time finishing the novel I borrowed at the library.
Had planned to go Vivocity for a visit since it's a new mall and I love shopping, but then couldn't find company, and hence stayed home instead.
But I feel so bored now!!!!!!!

Today was say, even better than yesterday. Had a long meeting in the Staff Lounge today and basically just ate beehoon and chicken wings during the bulk of the time. After that, did a little work, sorted some papers and then headed down to bring the Secondary Twos out for the movie screening at J8.
About the movie, I think it was B-O-R-I-N-G. Actually the main idea of the story was good and the message they were trying to deliver was powerful, but the entire idea of filming it as a documentary and marketing it as a movie did not seem so good. Probably if they had tried to incorporate a storyline into the film, it might have been a tad more interesting, and definitely more attractive.
Weee~! Weekends finally. I simply love weekends, because I can sleep in LATE. Pretty much like the idea of sleeping in, waking up as and when I like, and taking it slow, with nothing urgent on my agenda. Whatever I do shall depend on my mood, if I felt like so, I shall go shopping, or perhaps otherwise, I would just stay home and curl up in bed reading some novels. I like how reading has the ability to transport me to another dimension, to "see" the people in the stories and "feel" their emotions, as if I was part of it.
Shall just laze around for a couple while more before heading off to town later tonight. The night's still young, yay~!!!

Work today was shorter than usual, with no Professional Development after school and no other further commitments. Hopped onto a cab and reached home just before 3pm. It's been like so-long-that-I-don't-even-remember since I got home so early from work. Anyway, it was good, I had a good nap, yay~ Sleeping is indeed a luxury, hahaha.
Pretty productive during work today, having completed all my markings for the examinations, now save only for the Marker's Report I need to prepare tomorrow. Keyed in my students' profiling as well and did some work here and there. Anyhow, today was rather stress-free as compared to the usuals. The kids had it best today by being able to go home at 10.15am. I WISH I COULD GO HOME EARLY TOO! Haha.
Tomorrow is official marking day, which means all teachers have the entire of tomorrow to finish up their marking of the examination scripts. Rest of those who completed can either opt to just stay in school or follow the students out on some learning journey trips. I am tagging along with the Secondary Twos for the movie viewing in Junction 8, hehehe. We are all watching this film called "The Inconvenience Truth", which according to the trailer I have viewed, should be about our Mother Earth and perhaps some environmental stuff. Going for this mass viewing tomorrow reminded me of the time when our teachers took us out during Secondary Three to watch A Midsummer Night's Dream in Marina Square Golden Village. I always had fond memories of the times teachers brought us out for learning trips.
Yay, can't wait to watch the movie tomorrow, enjoy myself and PIG OUT on popcorn~!!!
Oh, and tagboard's up already.

Busy busy day!
Finished tabulating the Chinese SA2 for my class, they did very well in my opinion. Almost all passed, and most showed significant improvement in their results. Glad to see they worked hard and put in effort. Now only hope my other two Higher Chinese class scored well too, especially the Sec 2s. I want them to do well and get into the stream they want.
After school today, went for some Emergency meeting which was pretty slack and lasted till almost 6pm, before heading to Peach Garden in Novena to celebrate Yiru's birthday. The food was GOOD, but too much. I ate until I could barely make my way home without puking. Now there's like so much food swimming in me, I swear I must have put on another 5kg. Argh!!!
Thursday tomorrow, yay~~~
My lovely weekend is coming soon, and I am so thrilled at the aspect of being able to sleep in late.
Hmm, and might be throwing in a tagbox when I am free to go figure out the scripts.

On MC today, not sure if it's a good thing or a bad one.
Anyway, the extra rest was good, but not the gastrics which is making me pretty uncomfortable.
Called in sick early this morning today, and got back to bed after taking painkillers. But I slept rather fitfully, with occasional handphone buzzes here and there, and a few calls in the midst. Anyhow, hope it's nothing serious, since the doctor didn't say it was anything more than simple gastrics, and I was just given a clean bill by the medical check up group.
I think it feels suffocating when too many people have different expectations of you. In a way, it is vexing because there's only one of me, and yet I have to live up to the expectations of so many different people. How can one of me be so many of others? And then that is when disappointment sets in, and everyone gets all upset and dreary. I hate disappointing people, but it irks me even more when I am forced to live up to expectations so aplenty, I lose my own identity.
Too many answers beget even more questions.

After much procrastination and dilly-dallying, guess I finally took the plunge and started a blog. Not that my life's so fascinating and interesting that I had to blog every single moment of my life down, but perhaps just to serve as rememberance to the future me of the days I passed and the people I meet.
Basically, I see myself as a boring person who spends more than half her day working and slogging her guts out, a quarter of the day in front of the computer and the remaining time indulging in her favourite luxurious pasttime, sleeping.
Been subjected to much unhappiness recently, not targeted at me, but simply sadness of people around me. Feels rather helpless, when I know that I am partly to be blamed for their plights, and yet the inability to help in elevating the unhappiness. The limitations of human beings have always been known, but yet now there seems to be a deeper meaning to these limitations. A limitation not only in physical abilities, but also the spiritual ones.
Anyhow, guess this is enough to suffice my new readers for now, provided if there's anyone reading and able to comprehend it.
