Back from a Sec 3 level camp in JB, Tanjung Piai. Thought I could have the week's off to clear my brain's cache and prepare my lesson plans but alas...I'm down for ODAC camp and sec 4s' oral exam mock practice! When can I have my breather???? Sometimes I wonder whether returning to a familiar place is good for me after all. I'm like on the 'Wanted' list for this committee, that committee, this event, that event etc. Not that I'm popular or high-in-demand, its just that I'm nicely available.
I'm not usually mindful of taking on responsibilities. Its just that during these 10 weeks, I reckon is a crucial component of my NIE understudy and I am not wanting to settle for something less in my planning (although i really hate lesson plannings!). But I'm so stretched! I feel like screaming: " GIVE ME MY SPACE!" To say the least, I'm feeling stressed. Most unfortunately, I'm not given the option to say 'No'. Not until I get a windfall and I can pay off my bond! Tee hee hee....
Alright, enough of ranting for now. Some snapshots of the campsite I was at during the last 3 days.
The main site where all the action is: General stations, river-crossing obstacles and paintball. No prize for guessing which was the kids' favourite activity.
Overview of the area where there was tree-climbing too. Sorry no close up shots simply because I was too lazy and yes...can't be bothered!
It was an idyllic resort campsite. Too good and comfy for the students, if you ask me. I would have enjoyed better if I was not bringing 347 kiddies. Seriously, an ultra chill-lax haunt and its a refreshing change from Phuket, Bali, Batam and the likes. Besides, it will sure to be cheaper I think!
If you know me, I am no fan of cats. In fact, I hate the feline family. But somehow this kitty won my heart. Maybe because it was tiny and vulnerable hence less malicious looking than the adults. There were 3 little ones roaming around the site as we did our reccee. I could not differentiate them. Anyway during the camp, one of them almost got trampled on by this blur sotong student who accidentally kicked it aside! I tell you...these days kids are really BLIND!
I was thinking of drafting out my lesson plans but I'm just worn out. Maybe I should just sleep and rest my tired body after the Biathlon yesterday and wake up early for the oral thingy tmr. Nowadays I wake up praying for a fresh perspective to what I do. Honestly, I'm asking and am figuring out if this is eventually the path I'm set on to take. Like my friend said, I have to somehow manage all these arrows of expectations that are firing at me from all directions. I am, trust me! And I sure hope I'm managing them properly. I guess I am because I'm not admitted to IMH yet! :)
Ok dokes...I will zzz. 明 天 会 更 好！I believe so!
