i realise there's something wrong with my tagboard but i honestly cant be bothered to do anything about it now.
life's been passing by in a blur. it took quite a lot for me to get out of bed on monday morning at 6 to get ready for school after like 3 weeks of sleeping in til past 12. but school's been great so far. i felt rather lost being unemployed. having a job makes me feel a little more focused and i feel like i have a direction, towards what i honestly dont know but yeah...and my timetable is super slack it's unbelievable. i didnt knw HOD timetable was so slack, i have an average of 4 periods a day because i only take 2 classes, p5 and p6. there are exceptions like on the days i have to conduct structured programmes or teach HMT but other than that, i'm as free as a bird. then again i havent felt so free these past 2 days coz i've been bombarded by relief teaching duties during my breaks. and sitting in the HOD room can be rather lonely and i dont get to see my cutie teacher so often! but there are definitely the perks.
today was my first day teaching speech & drama at bukit timah primary. or rather they call it public speaking course there but whatever, same difference. aniwaes the kids are super cute! and smart omg no matter what they will always be ready with a smart remark to throw back in your face and thy're only p1s btw. a little hyperactive the boys in my class are but all in all i had quite a lot of fun with them. i have my favourites already. haha. i shared a class with another teacher today, i wonder whether they dont trust me yet with my own class or she was just there just in case i got held up at admiralty or smth. i hope it's the latter coz i do think i proved my worth today. i mean the discipline in my class wasnt the best i admit but i practically conducted the whole session and for a first timer, it wasnt so bad if i can say so myself. haha. next week we meet the p2s. hopefully they'll be more well-behaved. =/
been keeping myself busy with work and dance i guess to keep my mind off things i dont wana really be thinking about. itr helps tiring yourself out and going home to a nice warm bed and waking up in the morning to repeat the whole cycle. sounds boring i know but it's my own little way of surviving and not lose it and go crazy.
my birthday week just passed and i have to say it was quite an eventful one. =)
on monday itself i went out with darling fyda, after so long of not really meeting her. whenever we met it was only briefly so going out with her finally on my birthday was nice. she treated me to pizza hut and we did a little shopping before calling it a day. we were so tired and lazy we actually acted on impulsion and cabbed home despite knowing the cab fare would burn a whole in our pockets.
tuesday rani and and shu fang came down to causeway point to have lunch at swensen's and waffles with ice-cream at gelare with moi. oh i got a bottle of body shop strawberry scented lotion from rani and shu fang got me this really fun book called "the bitch goddess notebook" which supposedly is fitting for me. haha.
wednesday herrick treated me to pizza hut (AGAIN!) and i spent the afternoon reminiscing the days we had in primary school and stuff. it's nice meeting an old friend after so long and not feel any awkwardness. and it helped that he gave me a rose (which i shameless asked for i have to admit...but hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do).
the following few days i was busy with preps for gpa which btw went rather well. we only finished choreographing the whole dance on friday night and i went to my on saturday with the jitters but thank god no major screw ups and i THINK the audience enjoyed it somewhat, or maybe thought it was a little weird. but whatever. it's overrr! saturday night was spent watching AZPIRASI's dance performance which i have to say was a little disappointing. i didnt really get the man reciting the sajak and the painters were just taking up too much space on stage and the dance, wasnt so well-executed. or maybe i'm baised haha.
this brings me to the highlight of the week which has got to be yesterday when fazli, fyda, nani, nadia and sharini surprised me with a mini-celebration at the fountain area at millenia walk. i was treated to yummy ice-cream cake with marshmellows and gummy bears in it. and i received my first bouquet of flowers(pathetic i know shut up) and a nice big bag and this purple notebook i really wanted, on top of the pretty shoes nani gave me on thursday. but they made me climb some pillar and shout "I'm spiderman! psst! psst! psst!" which was more than a little embarrassing. we played truth or what (???)and got to know more than we bargained for i think. haha.
nothing grand actually but having the company of my friends was all i needed actually so yes it was a perfect. thanks guys for all the presents and the lovely surprises. love y'all. muacks. :)
