Coughing non stop with the bf!

My nose and eyes are sensitive to all these smoke pollution... And my nose is detecting the presence of smoke even within my house:(

Is there smoke in Indonesia?

Wat a day...

Is the line that flashed across my mind repeatedly throughout the day. It was a weird day in school... I talked too much, I expressed too much... I basically did too much of everything. Time to go home and waste off my bizzare behaviors.

Crazy day yo!!! Keep calm!

Ps: still didn't manage to meet the ro!! Read lesson plan file and write lesson plan tmr... Pronto!

Pps: I missed my bus stop thanks to my persistent blogging... Today is definitely weird. Wat??

Banana bread:)

Finally baked something after so many months! I have been craving for some warm banana bread and there are a bunch of banana at home threatening to go to the bin if we don't consume it soon. So a banana bread baking session it is!

This recipe differs from the banana cake I usually bake, and I'm glad the texture and taste is moist and not too sweet for my family's palate. I can foresee myself using this recipe again and again:)

Half way through the long weekend:)

This marks the end of the slackiest two days I ever had for a long long time:)

No sch, no piano:) just me and my bed and my trusty safari on the iPhone to bum through the whole day:)

Submitted two students for theory exams and just sent a banana bread into the oven. Hehe, the banana bread looks moist and delicious to me! Can't wait to see the finished product later!

I have also just updated my iPhone apps and software:) feel so much more at ease:))

Now got to buy new notebook, write up lesson plan, weekly lesson plan and reflections! 4 things to do! I can do it!

Lunch on tuesday

Had a great time with the kids at string ensemble, as usual:p

Monday and Tuesday are killer days thanks to my super packed timetable (read: 44 periods a week, norm 28 periods for bts in other schools...)

Only had one hour of break during the students' recess which I used to prepare my lesson materials for my last ss class.

Afternoon violin enrichment starts at 2pm, so I packed my super healthy lunch of cherry tomatoes and blueberries.

I love the honey cherry tomatoes i bought from shop and save!:)

Happy national day Singapore:)

I'm really glad to be here. Well, I have no particular reason why I feel so, just feeling thankful.

Great to see the mm on tv:) stay healthy and strong:) and hope the pple who spread the rumors dun get into serious trouble:)

Mini car accident

Which almost happened...

Feeling thankful tt I'm still alive but angry tt the driver is so nonchalant and only concerned about his own well being. He is just being solely defensive and wanting to escape from the situation by doing what he does best...

Throwing a tantrum...

I dun need someone who throws tantrum... I see it enough in school.

Work...

Last paper work to complete before the weekend... Stop procrastinating Limin!! U can do it!!!

And smile:))

Little angels in the staff office...

Thank you very much to whoever u r:)

I can do it!

Email sent, 3 more work to go before I can get down to my cluster lesson plan proper!

Had a saddening day in school, not sure if it's my pms or if I'm starting to feel lousy about work again. Nonetheless, i shall try my best to overcome these obstacles! After all, every job is accompanied with his and her own challenges, so I shall be more optimistic about myself.

Limin! Be kind and loving, inject humor and everyone will love u! U can do it!!:)

Really hope I can improve on my classroom management as well as my approach in talking to difficult students too!

I'm starting to find talking to Marco a chore due to his constant shouting and unwillingness to cooperate. He basically still acts like a big baby despite his age. Must remind myself to be calm and firm during lessons and smile more.

Stomped out of school at 230pm becos the environment in the staff room was so pessimistic... I'm not sure what happened but I could sense the sadness from the teacher who was complaining quite loudly for everyone to listen. I rmb vividly a sentence,"我不出声不代表我是病猫!" dunno if she is ok now but I'm glad I left early to break myself from the moody environment.

Went to interchange to get my "happy meal"! Koi red tea macchiato and fried carrot cake:) they are fattening but it filled my stomach and gave me a nice nap:) happy food rocks!:)

Tmr will be a better day!! Yes!
