Resort @ Hall 1

My favourite haunt in NIE - Joani's room in Hall 1. Hall 1 is slowly becoming my new residence in NIE! :) These days, I spent more time in her room than in mine for reasons that I don't which to keep mentioning. Sigh.

Oh and by the way, I'm now in her hall. Staying overnight.

Aidah, Joani & myself have been spending incredibly alot of time together in the last few weeks since school started. I guess its because we all know that in a few weeks time, we won't be seeing one another in NIE campus for a good 10 weeks ( Addie & Joani off for their practicuum). So we are trying real hard to make whatever time we have left memorable. EEEksss...sounds as though we are some lovers parting! But honestly, its going to be real 'quiet' on my end when those 2 crankie nuts leave. I won't know who to jio for dinner or jalan jalaning at JP anymore. Also, no more homecook food by Joani Lim! Not looking forward to those days man.

As always, Joani & myself will attempt to do some mini groceries shopping when we meet up and here's what we got tonight:

1. Ben & Jerry's Cookie n Dough ice-cream
2. Peel Fresh Orange Juice
3. Biscuits/Snacks
4. Homestyle 2-bite oatmeal raisin, cinnamon rolls and macaroons. (wanted the brownies but no stock!)


Our once-in-a-while shopping at Hall 2's minimart is somewhat our attempt to just relieve our boredom of being in hall and just getting out of our rooms to take in some fresh air. We never fail to be happy with our stash from the brief mini-marting and we sure derive pleasure in filling up our cupboards with food and yes...VCDs & DVDs too!

Wanting to write more but brain protesting. Feeling totally worn out and I cannot wait for the CNY break! Timely respite. So need it man!

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...

Divine Connection

Buzz phrase between Ana and me recently. One by one, our peers are walking down the aisle and we both look at each other and we say "How ah??" Frankly, as much as I hate to admit it, I do fear being left on the shelf! Well not that I'm undesirable, but at times I just stop hoping. I know i know...words have power and I should not make negative confessions. I should keep praying and commiting my inner most desires to the One who knows best. Yet I'm only human. And a woman for that matter. Today we met again and we both exclaimed, "Our time not here yet!". Pastor walked in, smiling as usual. "DIVINE CONNECTION. Its not a right. Its a desire" (Pastor, 2009). We'll get there somehow. Meanwhile, continue to wait for this DIVINE CONNECTION.
