New year.

It's been eons since i last posted something on this blog. Indeed, my url history even lost the address of this site lol... well,


Goodbye 2008. you sucked. In some ways. =D


Alrights, well 2008 was defnitely a year of changes for me. CHANGE. And you bet it was a year that went flying past before you can even get a hold of things! I'll bet that is a sentiment shared by many. Well, here goes the uninteresting narration of my take on 2008.


i shall title this, change.


The year started out with everybody leaving the comforts of school and embracing the new found work life, and for me, the additional freedom. I started the year as a relief teacher at Swiss Cottage Secondary School. I must say, being a complete stranger in a completely new environment is really an eyeopener. It was an experience that exposed me to a school of a different culture, from a different perspective. Duh huh? Well, I had my fair share of new experiences, learning to deal with students, understanding my ego in a different way. It's the point when i start to realise how much i enjoy being in control. Yup. Teaching at a Secondary School is funny. You get to see all those hormones driven lil teenager boys, all scrambling after young teachers like us, which makes me recall of my own secondary school days. Funny indeed.


Then i went back to my alma mater, and served at pj until about july. Well, i enjoyed the stint over at PJ. Though i must say it was quite stressful tryin to live up to standards and expectations. There, I met a group of fellow relif teachers; an unexpected bunch from vastly different backgrounds, who became my fast and steady friends.

Recluse

Once every so often, I like to withdraw into myself and shut out the world- whimsically. Just stop talking. No real reasons. Not really the first time. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, this is a part of me that needs some getting used to. Perhaps, the people who knows me, knows this happens. Perhaps, the people who do, doesnt exist. Perhaps i'm wrong- Perhaps this is selfish. But once, just once, every so often- i'd like to claim my leave from social behaviors. Just once every so often, i'd like to disappear. Take the phone off the hook- for ages. -I'm sorry though, if my habits hurt. And i do so appreciate the concern too. But, like my daddy says: ourself knows best. sk

this is really bad.

I have officially lost interest in sleep. (Or work, for that matter.) Came across an old blog post where i did this huge list of personality tests and decided to do sth immensely useless: hahha THEN & NOWW! XD so here we go, really quick! 1) THEN: Your Brain is 47% Female, 53% Male Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve What Gender Is Your Brain? NOW:  Your Brain is 67% Female, 33% Male Your brain leans female You think with your heart, not your head Sweet and considerate, you are a giver But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you! 2) THEN:   You Are Pretty Logical You're a bit of a wizard when it comes to logic While you don't have perfect l...

End of exams.

i don't feel much about the end of exams actually- i guess that is a signal that perhaps i didn't work hard enough and build up the hunger for relaxation while mugging, hence i don't feel the surge of relief. Ah- i miss that feeling much actually. next sem will be a better sem. YES IT WILL BE. -------------------------- Preceptorship will commence on the coming Monday. I am rather excited about it, and I look forward to a time of learning and actually applying the knowledge that i have learnt in school. I believe if you ever meet a pharmer undergrad, you will hear the same unanimous complain about how there doesn't seem to be a meaning in doing what we are doing. How it feels like we are simply dead memorising the cold, hard, facts. How we all disagree with the system and feel that university education should be about thinking- and how it's been a long time since we last did more of that. For me, the curriculum has honestly entrenched certain doubts in this career p...
