A Day Break
Yesterday, I was already ready to go to work.. but i was feeling uncertain.. should i take an medical leave or should i just go to school and suffer the consequences later...
The nite before my tummy, was already rumbling.. Woke up at 6am with a sharp pain in my stomach.. went to the toilet... TWICE... then in the morning.. another 3 times.. (i guesss..)..
Anyway, u must be think why do i still need to think whether to take medical leave or not... I had promised to myself that this term that I'll be getting 'the apples' at the end of the term.. the school had this policy that any teacher with no medical leave by end of each term will be presented by P with apples.... heheheheheh,,, so far i had never receive the apples... term 1.. mc for three days... term 2.. mc for two days... so am i so hard-up for the apples... U tell me////
Anyway yesterday had not been an unfruitful day...
Story of my Life.. It is so hard when you want to impress everyone.. It is hard when you have to take care of everyone's feeling.. But we are living with other people in this world and when you still have goodness, care and concern for others, you would want to make them happy... One way another...
And it is even harder if these people are your parents.. Pleasing them maybe hard but we just have to try our best.. but the thing is the best from us may not be the best they want from us...
HHMmmmmm.... What ever it is I love them very much.. I know they always want us to have the best...
I have been brought up in an environment were my mom is my teacher... She is the best teacher that I have and I can remember.. I can still remember when I was in primary 1 when my mom was teaching to me English spelling... And I guess I cant get them.. so all I can remember is the books and notes and lists... Everything from the living room coffee table flew across the living room and landed in front of the 3-bedroom store room... I can remembered myself crying.. going for the books and picking them up one by one... and going back to the coffee table to get more ..........................................
I grew up with the mindset that 99% is not good enough..... Why get 99% when you know you can get 100%.....
My mom.. my teacher.. my mentor.. my best friend.. where will I be with out her... to see my needs and push me from behind... make hot drinks for me during my 4am study for PSLE... Had to work at night to help the family finances... When we are sleeping soundly in our beds, there she is toiling the night away.. waited patiently with me and never stop encouraging me to be patient with my dad... who still had not come with the money, for me to register for my study in the poly.. we only had an hour left before registration closed, when my dad came with his work jumper suit (dirtied with diff types of oil, grease, petroleum...).. He had to borrow money from his boss for that fee.. My mom was there to ensure me that everything will be fine... I LOve Them Both..
So much sacrifices for their children.. to give them the best.. to make sure that we will live with happiness and success in this live and hereafter....
There maybe times when we will be angry, annoyed, hurt.... by their remarks... comments... but we know in our hearts that they just want the best for us... but what is actually the BEST.. we certainly don't know what's the best.. So does our Parents know....???
I think the best is having something BETTER than what THEY had... Nothing extravagantly BETTER but just a bit...
What do you think?
I'm writing all these because of what my mom commented to me last night.. BUT that's another story of my life.... till then...
Hey It been so long since I wrote... Life had been hactic...
On the 17th July... we had to be in school early in the morning at 530... to make-up for the kids for their performance at the CCAB...
Stayed the whole day in school till at 2pm get ready for the NE show... Have to take the P5 students to the Nat'l Stadium to watch the Nat'l Day Preview...
So tired, sleepy n aching the whole body... Well... that's life in TKPS.. Don't know about other sch teachers...
Anyway, the next day (which is on a Sunday), I n Hana n 3 other MT teachers had a seminar... Youth In Action... (blahblahblah)... the speaker were (I'm sorry) very boring>>>>> Only the FOOD were GOOD... hehehehhehehe...
There goes my weekend....>>>>>>
The next day which was on Monday, had to go to sch early cos I n Raudhah n other P1 teachers had to go to this pre-sch (Lorna Wiston) near Bukit Timah (I think).... Very Tiring... It's for the SEED Project, something abt the P1 next year having only 30 students in a class.... Must have more innovative lessons.. blahblahblah.. Quite interesting but will take lots of time preparing n conducting the lessons...
It's a good thing i guess... Now the students (P1) gets to go to the zoo cos they learning abt animals.. got to go out of the classroom for more experiential learning...
I'm i blabbing too much... hehehheheh... Just bare with me lah... Cos long time never write rite... so u all must have missed me ......
Anywayzzz.... the whole week had been hectic... Then on Wednesday, we celebrated Racial Harmony Day.. We all dressed up cross-ethnic.. I wore a RED "ganggera" (I think tt's wat's it's call>>> A punjabi suits with a long, flare skirt).... WE got to parade again at the whole sch in the hall.. N Mala y dept had to put up a demo on ketupat n bunga manggar making... I had to demo ketupat making in front of the visitors... I was perspiring n trembling when i did these... heheheh nervous lah.. with the China visitors watching n my P....
Then on Sat, we had another Racial Harmony Celebration thingey... the whole sch had to be down for the Fabric of the "Nation".. (more like the Fabric of the "School")....to be launched... That was in the morning.. from 730 to 1030am.. I n Hana relief a class 1 Peace... the kids were quite blur n did not bring any materials.. so we as Brownie Leader (Hmmpphh, hhmmphh) provided for the colouring.. the pasting the starry thingey...blahblahblah...
