My kids finished their Maths paper yesterday. I was really disappointed with their results. Comparing with their SA1 results, they did not improve at all. My class is ranked the lowest. I have 18 failures in a class of 39. How encouraging is that? I feel that I'd wasted all my Tuesday and Friday giving them remedials.
It doesn't help when the kids are still so happy and noisy. Now I just want the holidays to come quickly and that I will not see them again.
I'm so glad that I will not see them next Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I've never had such a worst lot of students in one class. Feel sad for those who really want to learn and improve. I FAILED!!!

Lesser pictures, more words.
I've been lazy to bring my camera out lately.. I think I've not taken picture for 2 weeks. So no pictures but lots of words.
And I wanted to say this, I went out with Yeejia to Marina Square and Mustafa on Friday. I bought 1 Reebok and 1 Adidas top for school because most of my PESS T-shirt have holes. I'm quite affected that I used to wear S or XS, but now I've upgraded to M. So I'm determined to go jogging/exercise with my new tops!
And we had a good fellowship with each other. As usual, we talked and walked and stopped at some place talking. Haha. If we weren't disturbed by a cute little rat, we would have continued talking till midnight. It was time well spent!

To add on to what I wrote yesterday...
Adding on to what I wrote yesterday, I love to spend time with myself. I can be quite lazy sometimes, choosing to spend time with myself at the comfort of my home. So well, to those whom I've rejected to meet, I'm sorry. It's not easy to get out of the comfort zone. Hee.
And just after writing yesterday's entry, I managed to meet up with Suzy again! She left her members to meet us instead for a chillout at Jazz@Southbridge. We had good fellowship with one another. It's quite a nice chillout place and it sells JAGER BOMB! I only realised that after drinking 1 beer and a Baileys Irish Cream. So well, spent a lot of money again. But I enjoyed myself!
Hurray to friendships!

Making time...
I realised one thing, we will never be free unless we decide to make time to be free.
After the June holidays, I was busy planning for Olympic Month and preparing for school's Cultural Night Concert. I told myself that I will be free after these 2 activities. Lo and behold! There was a Family Day that came after the Cultural Night Concert. After Family Day, there was National Day celebration followed by Teacher's Day dinner performance. Then I thought, everything should be over right?? I should be free from projects and all.. But I was told to be in the Children's Day Committee to help out as well. So well, I thought again that Children's Day should be the last project of the year already. BUT, PE department still need to plan post exam activities. Most of these activities were planned and coordinated by my colleagues, so I'm not so involved. And I received an email from my dear friend that I am in Art Exhibition committee. So well, when will I be free? On top of these, I was arrowed to go for a PW sharing on behalf of a colleague. I was also to attend a YOG briefing and I registered to go for a ICIP trip to Yunnan in Dec.
Aren't I busy? Yes! But I am also very free to go for lunch and tea breaks at least once every week. I may be in school till 5pm. But I wasn't doing work all the time. Most of the time I was busy chatting and spending time with my colleagues. We are the ones to plan our own time. I can be busy yet free at the same time. I can't run away from the things that I need to do. Work is never ending, but I make the effort to take breaks in between so that my life will not be unbalanced. I'm enjoying so much of my work life that you'll realise I've grown horizontally these days. After a hard day's work, I really need that 1-2 hrs lunch out with my friends to recharge myself. And I am really thankful that I have khakis who share this same recharging sentiments with me.
Despite this busyness, I managed to meet Kim for dinner on 20th Oct. That's how I started to think that, as long as I decide to make time for someone, I can be free. There are people who always "plan" to go out with me. But they seemed to be real busy. So we always didn't get to meet. Either we are not fated to meet or we just didn't make time for one another.
1 person that I truly admire is Suzy. She's working in accounts department. She's a CGL and most importantly, she's a friend to me and everyone else that she knows. Her work is ultra busy (if you know how the accounts department works), she needs to spend time with her youth members (and she really spend a lot of time with them), she needs to attend leader's meeting and many other meetings with the leaders, but she'll always make time to meet us once in a while. Although every time we see her, she may be busy making phone calls or sms-ing, yet without fail she will spend time with us. I've not known her for very long, but I know that this friend is a friend for a lifetime. *Salute*
We all have people that we like to spend our time with. So it's pretty normal that sometimes we make excuses not to meet someone and we make the effort to meet others. So well, that's life! There are still others who enjoy my company! I'm perfectly fine with that. You should be too!

Sleep is my favorite pasttime.
It's been a long while since I last blogged. What was I busy with? I was busy getting myself busy in school and was exhausted by the time I reached home. So I slept pretty early for the past few weeks.
On Monday, I went KTV with GML and Elaine after our work. Elaine was on leave though. Anyway, we sang from 3.15 to 6.15pm and then left to have our dinner at Far East.
When I got home, my throat hurts so badly that I fell really sick at night. I was then on mc on Tuesday. Slept the whole day without doing anything. Was down with fever at night but amazingly the fever subsided when I woke up on Wednesday morning.
Went to school on Wednesday. After school, we went to Kallang Leisure Park for our lunch. Then went to bank in some money with Mr Low. All the banks around us were closed. So we went all the way to Toa Payoh instead. By the time I got back to school, it was already 5plus. Then, I went down to Funan to get my lappy! It's back! That's why I'm blogging now.
Thursday was PSLE marking 1st day. It was a boring day as we waited till 12 plus before we started marking our 1st paper and we reported at 7.45am. Coincidentally, YY and another friend, Serene, came over to my room to help us with the shading of results. Cool! We had fun chatting and working together. After marking, the Children's Day Committee went to a Muslim restaurant for a sumptuous seafood meal! We even went to have Rochor Beancurd after dinner. SHIOK! But I was really tired when I got home.
Friday was another day of marking. It was really tiring because we didn't get any slack time at all. From 8am to 5pm, we marked and marked and marked. I really dragged myself to go for CGM at night. Thank God though that I get to take a 40min nap before going for CGM. My Christian colleague was shocked that I had to travel so far for CGM. Well, what to do? I'm not complaining. But sometimes after a long day of work, I really struggled within myself to fight against my flesh.
So due to the lack of sleep for the past few days, I slept till 2pm today before waking up to have food. Haha. I guess it's the cough and nose medicine that caused me to be so drowsy. After my brunch, I took the medicine again and I went back to sleep till 7pm. That's how strong the medicine is. Drowsy man!! But I don't mind cos I love to sleep and I need it badly! I'm someone who can't do without enough sleep. I'll get nasty with people around. So if you realise that I didn't get much sleep the night before and I was late, never irritate me with comments such as, "Why are you late?", "Late again", "Hurry up" etc even if you are just concerned. I'll get pissed off and might even get nasty with my replies. Sometimes, silence is better than asking. On my part, I will try to sleep early every night. Do not try to sms me after 10pm unless it's very important. But then again, I may be asleep already. I'll usually ignore night sms.
Alright. Time to say good night, take my medicine and have a good night's sleep. You too! Sleep early! Have a healthy lifestyle. No excuses!

Cos I have a bad day!
What makes a bad day?
1. Kids pissed me off during their lessons.
2. The screw for the high jump pole became loose.
3. The basketball kids were rowdy and playing a fool during CCA.
4. Realised that someone had punctured my bicycle front tyre.
5. Walking all the way to 3 bike shops only to find out that 2 were closed and 1 doesn't repair bikes.
I think the day is bad enough. I just want to sleep and rest.

Random
I'm overjoyed.. I can bring my laptop to Funan for servicing instead. But I wonder when I'll do that. Haha.
Last Friday we had our enriching life series part 2. Again, Pastor kept promoting Tic-Tac-Toe. Maybe it's really not a bad thing to attend one session to get to know more friends. I might just find my Mr Right. As days passed, all the more I'm certain that I can only accept someone with the DNA of City Harvest. So instead of going for speed dating or those organised by SDU or Teachers Network, I should just try Tic-Tac-Toe. Haha. Once again, I was reminded that I have not because I ask not. So I shall start praying about the ideal person and be specific about it.
Also, from that Friday on, I've been proclaiming to myself every morning that I prospered, and continued prospering till I become very prosperous! Amen!
Sun's service was about Breaking the Curse of Debts. Definitely not the first time hearing this message. But I was very impacted and certained that I will break out of my debts soon. I took a step of faith to give double the amount my normal offering. I really pray that I can break the curse of debt and start living in prosperity. I am prospering, and will continue prospering till I become very prosperous!!! Amen!
After lunch that day, I went to buy a year's supply of contact lens because it's cheaper to buy in bulk. And I bought a pair of coloured lens to try. And I was SO tempted to buy a pair of spectacles! I looked so nice in it!!!!! But, the first step in breaking the curse of debts is to plan my spending wisely. Gosh.. I love drinking so much.. will I be able to still enjoy and yet be out of debt? I must!!
