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
