3Rs.

The semester is officially over.
It is not particularly a hectic term yet I felt it has been going on for a long time.
It ended with my last exam in NIE and when I begin the next semester, which is also my last, it will only be for 6 weeks before I head out to school for formal teaching. With this in mind, and as I look back, time did fly! But I must say it has been fruitful.

My relationships/friendships have been deepened and that means more to me than anything else. I LOVE MY CLASS! Awwwww....

In 48 hours, I will be off for my long-awaited break in Aussie. Well well...its finally going to happen but not without its obstacles, even till this moment. First was Liling's boo boo about when her SS module end and now Leslie's toe! Anyhow, I remember Peace's prayer on sat that God knows my heart's desire and how this trip is important to me and He knows. Just now, I was pondering on the various hiccups that came along and was quite disheartened. Yet an assurance came about that All Will be Fine. :) Thanks!

Its now time to rest. Be refreshed and renewed again for a new season.

Restless I have been for a while. A longing for a change. A longing for something new. However, in my haste to get there I got lost. And feeling stranded suddenly. Not sure where I should be heading towards now. Yet I know I'm to be at somewhere, somehow.

Without fail, being away for a while clears my head and perspectives will change. I want that. And I know when I return, I'm enroute to the place of Restedness, Refreshment and Renewal.

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...

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 ...

New Year, New Life, New Beginning

The new maxim Joani and myself came up with for this new semester (at least). For her, its more on saving up and not spending that extravangantly. As for me, no specific resolution but more of wanting to be better than what I was last semester. A new year to refine those rough edges. Its just the 2nd day of the new term and somehow, it feels different. Quieter and so much more mellowed down. Maybe we have all gotten use to the flow of things in NIE and so the novelty of the first sem has died off. We seem more detached and engaged in our own stuff. Maybe when we slowly regain the momentum of things, normalcy will resume. After all, we had a break for almost 6weeks! Anyhow, lessons seem to be promising and am looking forward to them. Well talking about a new beginning for the new term, I had an unforgettable morning. Firstly, overslept and was 20mins late for first lesson with Mike McNeill! If Yixin didn't call me, I would have totally slept through the 2 hours lesson! Then another ...
