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

overwhelming

i woke up at 4am this morning without an alarm, thinking about all the work undone. realising it's the 12th, and that i'm meeting AC on the 19th to run through my presentation, which i haven't editted. thinking about needing to submit 12 more prescriptions by tomorrow, and i haven't done any. thinking about topics discussions that have't been fulfilled. thinking. thinking. thinking. but unable to drag myself outta bed; my body resisting to put itself through the tsunami of shit. grr. i shall shut both my eyes and trudge through it. Need to remind myself really, that work never stops. ever. Need to remind myself of who i am truly- that i exist without the work. i simply have to start living and breathing again. A random thought, you know how some sites like to ask you to key in some verification code before posting? I like the way blogger does it. "Please prove that you're not a robot." haha, but unfortunately, i think i am becoming one. ok. e

Limited time

We all have limited time on this Earth,  and a limited 24 hours in a day. What you choose to pack into that 24 hours, will decide what your life portrait will look like at the end of your road. (Yes, I think a lot about the end of the road nowadays.) I was just thinking to myself yesterday, if i applied the "rise of the guardian" concept to myself, what would my core be? I had wanted it to be love. I had thought that love shouldn't be limited. I had thought, that I would be able to dedicate a certain share of love to all the people in my life, who needed the care at the point in time when they do. I had thought, that my heart should be big enough to welcome as many people in as possible. Because ultimately, at the end of my road, I want to breath my last breath smiling, knowing that I have made a difference to people. I had thought that was possible, but i forgot that while my heart can be limitless, my time can't. In trying to be everybody's friend, I have fa
