rainy day

Nothing is more comfortable than sitting by a window in an air-con room. The room temperature is just right, the light is warm and not hot on skin.
But i notice these days, my migraine attacks have become more frequent...

Last week something horrible happened and it kept us busy for whole week, plus the maid has now gone back to Indonesia. It's been a hectic week for us. Thanks goodness most things are settled now. I hate it when people ask about it. It's rude not to answer them but it's painful to tell them what has happened. It's just like reminding us about the incident. Too bad, people aren't aware of that. They just want to satisfy their curiousity.

I've been skipping 3 yoga classes so far. Hopefully next tuesday i'd have time to go. I miss the sweatings and stretchings. Dear thinks i'm slimmer now haha. I do feel fitter now. Keep it going yeah!

I went for an interview on wednesday morning for the wasan job. Hope i can get the offer. I've been to several interviews but haven't passed any. That's depressing. I really hope i can get the offer.

One good thing about not having maid at home is i get to move around more and i love doing the laundry. I think i should take courses on home economics, since i like staying at home.
I'm thinking of buying a new mobile phone. I have my eyes on Nokia 6600, a fold phone. Still thinking, still planning...

weekend~ i miss you

I left a comment in Lizzy's recent blog, attempting to crack a joke but seems like i've hurt lizzy with the word i used. Feel bad about it. I'm really sorry, Lizzy. Hope you're not mad at me anymore. Dui bu chi! Sumimasen!

I've stopped working at IM and started teaching tuition in April. Fook laughed that the amount i earned from my tuition teaching for one month is equivalent to just 2 to 3 days pay for my previous job. Some people might think i should've agreed to extend the contract period. But i have no regrets for switching to teaching tuition, because of the job satisfaction it brings to me. When i was working in IM, i never felt accomplished. But teaching brings me satisfaction and the most important thing is, it provides me a chance to re-learn Biology. So i fall in love once again with bio, except for the topics on nervous system and muscles. Apart from bio, i'm also learning how to communicate with people. For the first time after i completed my study, i feel alive again.

So now my weekdays are mostly spent on preparing notes and questions for O Level Bio, PMB Science, Year 2 Science and Maths and form 4 bio. My week becomes packed. But i manage to sqeeze in 2 yoga classes each week and i'll definitely keep my saturday and sunday free. I need a break and those are the days for dear.

The other day i had a conversation with my grandma. Then i realized those worries and fears i have for not getting a job are pointless. It seems like i'm the only one who is worrying about being unemployed. Most of my family members respect my will, though my mom and sister actually prefer me to continue studying, instead of working.
Compare to others, i am very fortunate. I have a degree good enough for me to choose any field for master, i have all the supports from my mom and sis and also my extended family if i want to continue study, and i have no loans to pay (thank god i didn't buy a new car). So i'm going to cherish what i have. I have submitted application form for doing a master in UBD. It took me months to convince myself to apply for studying oversea but i didn't hesitate for long for studying in UBD.
I'm glad too my family is not the type who think i must go abroad in order to get a 'branded' degree. In fact, my grandma and mom think the local uni is better. Yeah, i share the same view too, though for a different reason. They prefer me to study here so i am well taken care of while studying. SOmetimes i think i'm over-protected but most of the time, i appreciate all the loves i have.

I'm losing my voice, can't stop coughing while teaching. Hope i'll feel better tomorrow or i'd have to miss my yoga class. Time to sleep. Goodnight ladies! Sweet dreams
