As a teaching intern in Coral sec, i've learnt to squirm through alot of hmmm.... meetings by a very basic rule my colleagues enlightened me with, and its called " Ignorance is bliss"

And when you're truly unaware, or.. dun bother to be aware. You really get away with stuff:D

IT woman: " hey, you need to finish your survey by today. Pls log in to your MLR account and finish it. "
Me; " i have an mlr account? "
IT woman: " Yea. we put the note in your pigeonhole giving you your account and password awhile ago."
Me; " I have a pigeonhole? "
IT woman: ...

hahahahaha. but, really man. they dun bother telling me i have a pigeonhole, then i choose to put my mantra of ignorance is bliss into motion lol. now that i know i have my own pigeonhole.. hahaha, i'd better go and check it out.

I secretly enjoy teaching. haha. Although my stand to my colleagues is that i'm never gonna come back to this profession again. In my mind, i know its vaguely possible.
And today i got evaluated and assessed like an NIE teacher by a senior teacher in the school so he could send my evaluation back to the ministry, pretty supervisor teacher asked me if i was nervous, and i went like "err.. not really" coz honestly, haha there wasnt any pressure, i didnt even prepare much beforehand lol. But thank God it went well in the end ya. Its a really enriching experience, you can feel yourself flustering as WE, teachers are constantly battling against time. Never thought that holding a practical lesson on using micrometer screwgauge and vernier calipers would take up so much time, did you?
anyways, like pretty supervisor teacher said, i'm not fierce enough and that's true, i dun really know how to be fierce la. I get exasperated, making " ahhhhhhhh." sounds, more than i get angry. And that always amuses the kids, and they'll end up laughing and making fun of me, but i'm really ok with that haha. they will say" cher, you very funny." and i'll be like hor. ok.
hope my evaluation didnt go too well, although pretty supervisor teacher said it was quite good. I dun wanna be tempted to take the scholarship. haha, i rather not teach at the moment.(:wanna see how the other side of the working world is like first.

Dear Blog,
Sorry for neglecting you again.
Haha, been going through a really weird time though.
Although the entire incident seemed to have affected people around me more than it has affected me. Especially my net members whose concern for me goes beyond the highest mountains. LOL.
I'm really fine, coz i realised that God has a great plan for me and all, i dun have to worry about anything coz he's already gonna be 1 step ahead of my silly human thinking. and he'll prepare the way.
Only less than 2 months to NS, gonna focus my energy on something worthwhile. :D my music.

dear blog

dear blog,

I'm going for a minor surgery next wednesday to remove a small lesion from my back. When i first heard that i need to go for surgery, i was so freaking scared please. I havent done a surgery my whole life, except maybe when i was like 4 for some eye thing but that's about it. I know it's nothing but still, i needed some comfort from a friend. But as usual, she was working and only replied after i fell asleep at around 11 plus. :( even then, she only asked wad surgery and offered no kind of emotional support that i would have required before initially, i was so sad. prayer's one thing, but God creates people for fellowship and dependancy right? sigh. i've always known she was that kind of person, but it never occured to me that the implications were that painful, sigh. at least, this have taught me that i should always go to God first, cause he's always there no matter when, no matter what. And he offers the best kind of love.
