Investments!

Alright...I finally am able to update this almost not-so-up-to-date blog :) Unbelievably so, it is almost June. Half a year is done. It has been about 1 year since I officially graduated from NIE. Wow wow...

Anyway apart from the intense GE that kept me quite excited, I was also looking forward to putting together my new triathlon bike; 2-hand frame with brand new wheels and it is a bike that has great reviews. So says my friend who highly recommended it and eventually sold it to me. The bonus which I have been keeping till now has finally been used. Invested into my new bike, that will be tried and tested this Saturday during the Bintan Triathlon. Pictures of it when the wheels are fitted in. I can't wait although I have not been diligently training for it. Oh wellz...as usual.

Then another happening happening. I finally succumbed to getting an Iphone. WHY??? I know i know I've been proclaiming how I won't get one simply because everyone is having one but all of a sudden my Berry died. It was sickeningly sick and it left me with little choice. So after 13 months of owning a Berry, I went for the other fruit. On hindsight, I should not have been that biased towards Apple.

BUT BUT BUT....barely 3 days of owning the Apple, the speaker decided not to work! Beats me why such things would only happen to me but it did. The better news is this: the 16GB models have ran out of stock, apparently due to the high volume of casualties, and I have to wait 2 days later to get my new new phone. It is really a joke! Technology vs Humans : 0 - 100!

All in all...these have to be my biggest investments for this year, so far. I feel a little sad to have to part with that amount of money but I can only comfort myself by saying I have been rather thrifty! :)

Gracie's mini adventures all within a week! I am definitely not a boring gal! :)

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.
