I actually have to check my last post to see what i had written.
What happen to our blogs? We seem like stop posting these days... Yeah, everyone is busy busy busy. I really wonder who was the one started saying teaching is relaxing. Such a big liar.
I'm sure that person is not a teacher.
A quick update:
I went for an industrial attachment at Mushroom Culture of BARC during the march holiday. It was a nice experience. Met nice people there.
Then, i attended Honghua's wedding, from the Bachelor's night until the reception dinner. Feel very happy for him! His wife is cute.
After the holiday, time seemed to be fast-forwarded. I was rushing with finishing the syllabus and assessing my students.
Now, i'm done with the syllabus, finishing the last two assessments. No more teaching until next semester. But, a lot of markings to do.
For the past 2 to 3 weeks, i had to do my work every night, including thursday night. Or else, i won't be able to get ready for the next working day.
So tonight, a thursday night, i decided to give myself a break.
Like the saying goes, 'Work is never over.' (Direct translation from chinese)
Next week (21 to 24 April) i'm going to Kuala Belalong Field Study Centre with a group of students. My colleague invited me to go with her. This type of trip is expected to happen 3 times per year. So i'm likely to go there 2 more times this year.
Can't wait to throw myself into the Temburong river. Haha.
I hope this time would be as fun as the previous time, this group of students is not mine.
To get myself ready for that trip, i started hiking last week. So last minute eh. Anyway, i think it would still help with my stamina. I've stopped going for my yoga class for a while, looking at the time i need to spend on the road and the money i need to spend on the classes.
My finance is in a chaos now so i'm seeing a financial planner tomorrow to sort things out.
My sister advised me to have 4 different accounts; 1 for car, 1 for emergency fund, 1 for salary and 1 for vacation. I'm thinking to do that starting my next pay.
Haih... i practically spend all of my March salary. Still recovering after the chinese new year. I think i may have over-pampered myself too.
Recently, a lot of ups and downs in my life. Sometimes, i wanted to post it up here. But then, another part of me would say, nothing is worth mentioning. That is just life, no big deal about it.
If someone ask me, what have i learned from this job, i would say acceptance. Accept people for who they are, accept the fact that every individual is different, accept that i can't always have things my way, accept that certain things are just beyond my control.
I can't change the way people think and behave, but at least i can give my best and leave no regrets.
Wow, getting late now.I've got to sleep. Tomorrow is friday, the day i can run errands like paying utility bills and grocery shopping.
Goodnight ladies. Sweet dreams ^_^
