As anyone who has been faithfully reading my blog knows... I'm sick! You know what I mean...
Last Friday, when I returned to school, it was pretty bad... Had a presentation to do, followed by a really bad tutorial class where I was basically in a daze for most of it...During the lesson that I missed, the tutor had divided the class up into groups to do research on some psychology topics and since I didn't know, I was struggling to understand what was presented and didn't even have a group.
Managed to sort it out in the end, but still quite painful at 6.30pm in the evening.... left with a big headache (not metaphorically, but physically) =(
Celebrated my mom's b-day over the weekend at Royal Plaza on Scotts (we had high tea). Food was disappointing which made paying for the bill quite
xian. I remember telling my sis that the prawn in the
mee goreng was bigger than the prawn in the
ha kao, wth?
Now that I am a recovering 'sickoholic'.... I need to re-double my efforts to master the lessons and to catch up on what I'm weak in! Looking forward to Thursday where I'll be learning basic German... Achtung Baby!
Cheem bit:
I think it's ok to fall off the horse provided you remember how to get on again... Too busy to dwell in self pity and crap like that! So let's charge forward and make the most of this week!!!

Still nursing the cold which means I am alternating between having a sore throat and a runny nose. Friday's lessons was ok but felt very drained in terms of energy levels as my body is trying to fight off the infection.
Felt a bit demoralised when my tutor explained to us the size of the assignment that we are supposed to do... Quite a big chunk of work (both group and individual) and that is only one of many that we need to do this term!!! As you can guess, stress levels are up again! T_T
Still, I was reading an email that I received from a student from LPS and immediately I was reminded about why I wanted to become a teacher. When I see how my students are influenced by me to become better or smarter or more responsible, I feel so happy that they have achieved some form of growth...sort of like when the farmer sees all his crops at harvest time.
So I feel much better and this really keeps me focussed on doing my best in school, so that I can return back to LPS that much faster! So to everyone that reads this... gambatte!!!
