Anything will do

Remember yesterday I posted about writing something intellectual and stimulating? Well, I did not get to it. Before anyone accuse me of giving so many lame excuses, let me explain myself. 

I wanted to write, but I was swarmed with so many important things to settle. I went out for breaking fast with my parents because I miss them. 

You see, I do not live with my parents but I live alone near where I work. The reason is because it is hard for me to commute from home to work. Near my house, there is a school. Before 630 am, it will be jam-packed with kids and parents who apparently make their own traffic rules. 

The parents park anywhere they want, causing jam for both sides of the road. The kids, it is sad to say that they do not even bother to look left and right. I do not know where they learn to cross the road like that. 

Therefore, every single day I have to go out as early as 610 am to avoid the congestion. So two years ago, I opted to stay outside, near my workplace. Besides, it is easier for me as I don't have to drive out at night anymore. My parents are OK with my decision. The only downside of it is I have to buy my own things like cooker, fridge, TV, vacuum cleaner and stuff.

So, back to the story, yesterday I bought induction cooker, rice cooker, a pot, cooking equipments and some food for me to start cooking. At last, we finished around 9. By the time I got home, I was too tired to do anything. 

Maybe I will start today, perhaps. Just let me think of one good topic and I'll share my opinion on it, or maybe you can just read my random ramblings. Later.

Love,

Two months of something

I've realised that I haven't updated anything in my blog for two months. Everytime I log into my blog, I would stare at it for a few minutes, thinking hard on what to write. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, when I lie awake on my bed, ideas would come like it is nobody's business. But I would be too lazy to get up and put it in my blog. I don't know if this has ever happened to anyone else, or is it just me. I guess I have lost my mojo in writing. 7 years ago, I can write everything & anything under the sun. But now, it's very hard to get the ideas out of my head. I often wonder, is it because of my never-ending workload which caused this problem? Or is it because my life is dull & boring? Perhaps both. Nowadays, everything revolves around work, work, work. I seldom go out having fun with friends, catch the latest movies, read my favourite novels, or just drive around town doing something spontaneous. Geez, I really need to loosen up or else I'll go crazy. I'm thinking of writing something intellectual and useful later. So wish me luck.

Love,

Fun-filled day

14 June 2011

Yesterday, my school was celebrating Teacher's Day. Even though the real Teacher's Day was a month ago, but yesterday's celebration was grand & better than last year's. The students were very creative in organizing interesting performances and activities. The best part was the award show, ala Anugerah Skrin or Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian. There were many categories & many nominees. I was nominated for Anugerah Guru Berjiwa Muda. I was very confident that I didn't win because all the nominees are more qualified to win this category. Besides, I'm a newbie so who would vote for me. 

Nevertheless, when they announced the winner, I was shocked & could not believe my ears. Yes, I have won. Luckily I was appropriately dressed for the occasion. I went up, took my hamper & smiled non-stop. Gosh, it was truly great. I mean, who would have guessed. After the event, we went to the staffroom to cool down before we were off to the dining hall. I got to eat with my mentees as this will be the last year for them, they are going to finish school soon & I know I am going to miss them. Apart from the hamper, a student also gave me a make-up bag, some mugs from ex-students, sweets & assortments from other colleague & others. Overall, I felt appreciated by them & although I know I won't be here long, but I am glad to teach the, while I am still here.

Love,
