Charging On

Dark clouds looming outside my room. Can hear claps of thunder sporadically. ITS GOING TO POUR! YEAH!!!! I love rain. Don't know why but when I see those huge droplets falling continuosly...it somehow refreshes me. Rain never fails to charge me up. I am thankful that on a day when I'm feeling rather gloomy and drained, the rain comes to perk me up!!!

Dread this week. 2 huge assignments in my face and I'm half-way done for each. I know I'm at my peak of stress when my brain is actively thinking about my assignments even when I'm asleep! Arghhhhhhhhh....literally losing hair over it (not that I have alot to spare lor). Gross!

Ha..but as I ponder about things, I asked myself if I should need to feel all frus up over assignments! Aren't there more impt things in life than my assignments? Why must all these dumbo assignments and deadlines have such strong control over me, my emotions and well-being!? I believe I'm stronger than that! Come on lah...I'm a product of the education system of Singapore! Haha...endured tougher training prior to NIE.

I always tell myself never to stay in the rut if I ever find myself in one. I have to somehow get out otherwise, I'll just remain there or worse, sink deeper. Its time to get my act together and keep charging on as I've been doing. All these trying moments are mere fleeting ones, but what should stand strong is my inner being , my character. I'm not easily taken down and these assignments will never be able to! Haha yeah!

For now, having a new perspective and making the choice to stay positive and be ME! :)

And waiting for the refreshing downpour to come! Quickly will ya????

Breather

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 ...

ACTION 100%

I finally can take a breather and bloggie! I just can't believe that my 2 weeks of the 10weeks practicum have just passed! But of course, its just ACTION this entire week since I started teaching. My gosh....if anyone desires for time to pass quickly JOIN TEACHING! Having not taught for the last 1.5years, getting back to the routine sure took some adjustment. Physically, I crashed by 10pm every night. Last night, 8.45pm! Record set. Just last week I was thinking its ultra boring to just shadow my CTs and not teach....I basically didn't know what I was asking for then. Mornings start with the mad rush of preparing for PE lessons and its just been taxing on my brain! After PE, I feel as though I've ran a marathon. I just slump on my chair and let the cool air from the air-con bring me back to life. When school ends, I just have little energy left to do my own trainings! OH ...btw I cycle to and fro school so....its zero level at the end of the day. Joani said this to me befor...

Day 3 & 4 - Halong Bay

HALONG BAY Cat Ba Island (2 days, 1 night) After 1 day of exploration of Hanoi city, we headed for Halong Bay via the junkboat. Our destination was on Cat Ba Island where we stayed for the night. It was also there that we ventured onto 'Monkey' Island - not to be deceived; there was only 4 monkeys sighted. The exhilirating part of this journey was the motorbike ride to the ferry terminal to board the boat to 'Monkey' Island. Felt like I was part of a short scene of a James Bond movie (pillion with Pierce Brosnan!). Will never forget the cold draft blowing against my face and just riding up and down the slopes! Cat Ba Island is a very quiet & tranquail place. Little activity especially at night. Wanted to catch the morning activities at the fishing wharf opposite our hotel but could not wake up in time. Nonetheless, managed to capture some snippets of what goes on at the bay. Waiting patiently to board the boat. Snapped this on board the boat. Not a vietnamese but fe...
