Hi Hi, still alive

I just found out that the last time i updated here was more than a month ago. Time really waits for no man.

There are lots of things i always wanted to post it up here because i am going through a lot of my first-times.
Tomorrow morning, i'll have to sing a hari raya song on stage, together with all the other new teachers of the school. Not much practice has been done. But i'm not very worried, i guess thanks to the class-teaching. I'm now more confident with talking in front of a small crowd. Mind the word 'small'. More confident with my english speaking.

Last sunday i had a fantastic afternoon, out with mama and nonoi. We were planning to visit houses but out of the blue, someone mentioned about movie and that's it, we ended up watching 'the perfect gateaway' and enjoyed a 'free' tea time at au lait (thanks to nonoi's cousin). It was such a great sunday, out with the girls. I can't wait for the next time. There are 5 restaurants that we want to try out.

I make a deal with myself that, the next time when i get compliments on how i look, especially my weight, i will just smile and say 'thank you', instead of trying to convince people how wrong they are. I should learn from now to get used to compliments.

I realized that it gets on my nerve everytime when people say that i have a well-pay job in such a way that is just like saying 'you're so lucky!'. Excuse me, i worked hard to get what i have today. It's the same like when people think i get good results because i am smart. Well, maybe i am but that is not what helped me through my exams. Ok, in a way, does it show that i care a lot about what people think of me? I think i'm still thinking like a kid at times, when i need people to pat on my head and tell me i did well.
So now, i'm trying to develop a new habit. Everytime when i'm impressed with something someone does, i make sure i let that person know.

You know, sometimes i get so sick of the way some people do things. But i can never bring myself to tell them what's wrong with them because first, who am i to judge, and secondly, i have been brought up in a way that any conflicts are to be avoided. Sometimes it can be so easy for people to walk over me. All they need to do is to be louder than me. I usually take a long while to get habituated to uncomfortable situations. Wow, not bad! I manage to link what i teach to my life. For your information, for one of the subjects i teach, i am learning and teaching at the same time.

Yesterday i attended my first technical school convocation, as a teacher. It looked as if half of the new teachers in technical studies are graduates from UBD. So many familiar faces there.

I actually got a big assignment paper to set but today i just allowed myself to be laid back for whole morning and evening (afternoon was at the school practising for the song). Finally i got to watch Ice Age 3 and finish watching Sex and the City season 3.

Despite the fact that facebook is the in things nowadays, i am still very conservative. I hardly post my picture on the web and i really don't like it when people post a video with me in it on a site like facebook, WITHOUT asking for my permission. I love sharing stuffs with friends but not on facebook or other similar sites. Because things being posted on facebook means you're sharing it with everyone. If one day, people start relying totally on facebook to keep in touch, i'll be soooo out of touch with people. Is facebook bringing us closer to or tearing us apart from each other?

I am so not used to mentioning my relationship when talking with people. But i realized how much helpful it can be sometimes to let people know i'm not singled anymore. And i also found out one thing. Until today, at the age of 24, i will still panic when someone came up to me and tell me he likes me. I would go speechless and as high as 99% possibility, i would want to run away from that person. Oh gosh, i haven't changed much.. hmm...
