bye January

It had been such a long time that I didnt update this blog. Life is quite carefree at the beginning of this smester but things totally change right at tis moment. Busy life is coming back officially.

Today is the last day of January. Let me just summarize what had happened in this month. Things did not went on smoothly at the beginning of this semester. I was forced to make many choices to the extent that stress was too overwhelming. I could not cope with it well but luckily I found a good listner who is always there to listen to my problems and grudges. This person is definitely none other than my beloved roommate. Thanks for giving advices and being so patient with me. I am not the type of person who can hide the problems well and solve them on my own. I just feel so lost sometimes!

Things become better after few more weeks and entertainment started to flourish unexpectedly. I did not expect myself to have two K singing sessions within one week time. I did not expect myself to get addicted to facebook. I did not expect myself to buy lot of things while shopping at Sunway. I did not expect myself to tour around Malacca until midnight. I did not expect tests and assignmnets to come by so soon.

I tend to think a lot when I am too free. So a busy life seems not to be a bad thing for me. Besides attending class, I take up the swimming lesson which burns a big hole in my pocket. The swimming suit, goggles and lesson fee had caused me to broke. I had to borrow money from my personal atm, who/which is my roomie as well. Now no more fear of being drowned in the water. But there is still a long way to go before I can swim gracefully in the water.

Playing muscial instrument is another unexpected activity that I pick up now. I always like to blame my parents for not sending me for piano lesson when I was young haha. So I learnt piano from my friends for a few times but end up forgetting everything because I was not determined enough to learn new thing. And now it was one mistake that introduced me to clarinet. Roommate told me that saxophone is still available in band room. So i join the band but end up playing clarinet because there are too many people who want to play saxophone. Playing clarinet is totally different from playing 笛子. Clarinet is much heavier and complicated!And I need to control my breathing well while playing that. This is exactly the same thing as swimming. Hopefully I wont give up this time.

Chinese new year is coming but I do not have the chnace to go back to prepare for that. And one day before new year, I will have to bit farewell to my best friend, Shi Hwee. Feel like spening a night with her to talk as much as possible before she flies off. It is definitely torturous to bit farewell on new year eve while the others are having reunion. It is going to be hard for us to talk ace-to-face after this. I will lose one good companion for shopping and gossiping back at homewotn. Sigh

Hopefully February will have a good starting and ending!

TIRED

I am tired
Tired of waking up early in the morning
Tired of running around just to settle the things that I still hvn't settled now
Tired of attending classes after two months holiday break
Tired of the food
Tired of planning for the courses
Tired of having a lot of worries

Work vs Study

Holiday is coming to an end very soon. Two months holiday is just too short for me to rest well and settled my things completely. Well, starting from tomorrow, I wont be the one who teach, I will be the one who listen to lecture again. After one month of work at kindergarten, now only I realize that it is really a challenging task to teach the students. Delivering the knowledge to students is not a big deal actually, but to make sure that the students understand completely would be a tough job for me. Some students catch up very fast but some are just too slow that they play around and do not pay attention at all. So it ends up that some students finish their works earlier, some cannot finish even if I show up my weapon-a powerful stroke. So I am always in a dilemma whether to teach new lesson or wait for all the students to finish their work.

No more teaching starting from tomorrow, but listening is going to take place very soon. To be frank, I still prefer to sit behind the board and listen to the lecture, no matter how interesting or boring it can be.

I have to handle all these children on my own without any assistant because there is not enough teacher in the kindergarten,OMG!

Children wont have camera shy!

I let them play some game on my last day of work.

ATM

I met a foreign worker when I went to withdraw money at Malacca Central today. The guy asked me to help him to withdraw money and straight away pass his atm card to me. I was like “Are you sure you want me to withdraw money for you? Why do you trust me so much?” He kept explaining to me that he could not understand the instructions on the atm machine and he wished to withdraw 1500bucks. Wow that is a huge sum of money. The guy looked so happy that he is going to have 1500bucks to spend, but I was just worried it was really dangerous for him him to carry such a big sum of money around since he might get cheated by other people.



I did not talk much because I did not think he understood me also, so I just withdrew money for him and walked away. I could see how happy he was when counting his money but I just felt that it was very dangerous for him to do so in the crowd. But I could not help much because I myself was carrying three large luggages at that time. What do you expect from me?I just hope that the guy is able to bring his money sback to home safely.

Six Letter Word

New year is coming and my resolution for this year is none other than health. Mum fell sick starting from last thursday and she only feels better these few days. Last week was really a tough week for all of us. Not talking about the household that we had to attend to everyday, but it was mum's condition that freaked us out while other people had their christmas celebration.She had a terrible diarrhea and she was so weak that she fell down for several times. The moment I saw her lying on the floor, tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably. I realized how much important she is to me and I can't lose her. Sis and I helped her to stand up but she fainted again. We quickly dragged her to the chair, and luckily she regained consciousness slowly. Thanks God for that.

Her condition became worse after she fell down. She had injection and went to hospital to 吊水。She did not have much appetite the first few days and even refused to take medicine. We had no choice but to force her to eat. It was really depressing to see her rushing to toilets for several times per day. It was even more saddening to see how weak she was that she could only lie on bed. The virus spreaded, sis and I fell sick at the same time, but we were considered quick enough to recover fully. Days of worrries seem to pass by very slowly. I have to resort to my religion to stay calm and tough. Religion really plays a spiritual role in me.

We are really happy to hear mum's voice and shoutings(she is able to shout at the children finally) again these few days. Mum feels better but somehow she is still weak and needs rest frequently. She can walks around and do some light household chores finally. Maybe she will need another few more weeks to recover fully. Hope the nightmare will end early and let us welcome a brand new year with blessed HEALTH from God.
