So she says...

Something racist and got fired. Many may say it's unfair for the company to fire her due to her personal mistakes and it's too serious to take away her rice bowl.

N*tuc has a pool of mps and employers of high profiles even though its not a stat board or a government agency. This makes it hard to detach the image of an union employee from the government due to its close ties with the cabinet.

Ultimately, even though ntuc may not represent the government... The employees need to ensure tt they are acting in tandem with the gov expectations and beliefs.

These pple are after all her bosses... She could have been more careful with what she share online...

Hahaha, an indirect reminder for myself too:p

From where I am now...

Teaching is indeed not an easy job... The job of teaching is hard enough but this job requires one to take up more than one role simultaneously.

It has been a heart wrenching third week, which leaves me with a sore throat to nurse over the weekend and a battered soul to strive through the next 3.5hrs of piano.

One unforgettable time this week was when the students told me they didn't know who the discipline master in sch was. It immediately dawned on me why these pupils in this school are so notoriously behaved... Bcos there is no form of authority in school.

Random but bus rides home r extremely therapeutic, especially if i manage to get on bus 28 which goes straight to my place. This short 30 mins is the time for me to reflect on my hectic day in sch before I transform to my other role.

Woosshh... Sep recap

Life has been rushed lately... Rushing from classes to classes in sch, rushing from homes to homes for piano. It is really not easy trying to cope two jobs at a time and still trying to have a life meeting up with friends and relatives.

Met up with Melissa and her bf during the September holidays for karaoke:) and she looked radiant w the love of her life! Really glad tt mr c*hoon wee is treating my bestie well! Although we are seeing each other less, the bond is still close and our other halves were also comfortable hanging out together:)

The week after tt was spent w the jc clique at a pub, can't rmb the pub's name but the drinks and food were reasonably. And more imptly, the company was good:) the sister also treated sushi tei@bedok point, food was not as fresh and sumptuous as itacho, but definitely good enough to cure my sushi/Japanese rice cravings! Heehee:)

23rd sep was lunar 8th day of the 8th month. One of my paternal cousins got married in a lavish setting at Fullerton hotel. The ballroom was huge and grand, dishes were played and served individually. The cousin was the first to get married at our side, I couldnt help thinking tt we are truly growing up and moving on to the next stage of life. O boy... Life is really passing by really fast. Just hope everything will be smooth and happy for the future me and my family:)

Spent a solemn mid autumn weekend as the bf's uncle passed away. I must spend more time w my parents and bring them for meals and view singapore's ever changing landscape. No matter how busy our lives are, we got to learn to treasure the people around us and spend time fruitfully and happily.

Life is really fragile, let's live life:) Carpe diem!

Hush hush...

Im going to get there by 720am and everything is going to be fine!:)

The night before the last term...

And im feeling so complexed cos I need to meet the RO tmr:( I really hope everything is going to be fine. I will be fine, everything will be good. I can do it.

Tmr marks the 10 weeks countdown and I will be able to finally take a break from Singapore and do some travelling. I can't wait for a restful break from work and the hectic weekdays. I wan to slow down my pace of life and enjoy the little things around me. Im slowly growing out of my prime and I dont wan to regret not living my prime time to the fullest.

After all, this is life isn't it? We only live once, so let's live it to our fullest!

2 days break from sch:)

*phew* I got through 10 weeks plus 3 days of sch! Can't wait to detach my mind from sch for 2 days even though I'm going to be busy like crazy, having piano and meeting up with friends.

Im grateful that I made it through this far, shall continue to persevere and make music lessons effective and enjoyable:) the school principal, vice principal and teachers will love me:) and the students will respect me and in turn, love me.

Y am I typing all these? Hahaha, sounds like I'm pyscho-ing myself. Well... Still have music templates to complete! Shall embrace it and quickly finish it! Off for piano!!

:) dun worry, be happy!

Happy september holidays:) although its filled with course, remedials and lessons, life is kind and happy:) everything is great!

I'm doing good and swaying to the happy pulse of life:)

Today is crap

I h*ate my crap students, I h*ate my freaking job!!!!

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??

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!

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:)

Half time break...

After a super long day in sch:(
Brain is juiced after sch and string ensemble.

Getting ready for second half... Haha:) stay cheerful Limin:) u can do it!

Life will be kind and everything will be good.

Slacking is good...

But is too much slacking giving me headache? :p

Probably im just procrastinating too much... Down to work limin!!

Disappointed...

But i can only wish for him to have better times ahead... If not, it's really tiring to have two battled souls being together...

Prioritising work

Finish lesson plan, ask regarding reflections then plan piano schedule!

Fighting! W a sleepy president next to me:p

I called...

And it wasn't easy, but I did it:)) *pat on the back*

I weeped over the fact tt I still have to be in service for probably 10 more weeks or more...

But I shall continue to count my blessings and try to juggle the ginormous amount of school work and piano lessons for these two thunderous months until the day I officially bid farewell to that depressing place.

To the closet person to me, be ready for more nonsense from an unhappy baby:(

I hate this!!

Why do I even have to go back for two months?

But what to do??:( I still want to have my cert:(

Dilemma

When life is filled w so much doubts and fear, days r dark and sullen. But I know... A ray of light will enlighten my path and guide me to the brightened route where happiness and contentment awaits.

I must be strong, and I will be strong.

Read from somewhere tt...

Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.

Don't count your blessings...

Instead be contented to be blessed:) somehow, i am glad that i started this blog cos now i can backtrack on what i have achieved or what i have done previously. just yesterday, i was feeling depressed for losing 4 students due to my straightforwardness and honesty. Felt so terrible... until i read my blog just now. 

Since 7 may, I have found 4 more students! Yippee:):) *clap clap clap* very happy with my progress, slow but I am satisfied. shant feel so sad anymore:) need to pick myself up and work hard for my well being:) 

Great to be feeling blessed:)
