… before the holidays. Quite a few things happening. I’ll blog a little as I catch my breath and reward myself with my current music theraphy, the soothing acoustic sounds of the cranberries.

Things to get done now:

1. Last check on attendance

2. Marking of 2E /4N workbooks

3. Collection of LJ consent forms

4. Follow up on some disciplinary form / class issues.

…

Things to do next week:

1. Clean up classroom.

2. Filing & marking of whatever’s left to mark (assignment checking)

3. LJ trip

…

I’m tired but I’m determined to get things done. It’s not going to be easy, but I will stand on my own two feet.

Ok this is abit late. But, I just uploaded the pictures… I did Shikin’s make-up for her engagement. Hee. So excitinggggg… Ok, let the pictures do the talking.

The final product… (minus lipstick, sebab shikin nak makan… laapar plak makcik ni…)

Me & Shikon

Me, shikin and putzbear

Yeay, we’re both engaged!

… to the best Mum ever, my Mak. After training at BR and lunch at CS, my adik and I went to get a bouquet of flowers and a lil something from Chomel for Mak. Even though she said we shouldn’t have bought her anything, we knew she was thrilled.

“Tak payah lah, tak payah lah…” she would say… and because of that, my siblings and I never got her anything for her for Mothers’ Day. But this year I felt since we’re both already working, I figured it won’t hurt to give her a pleasant surprise.

Our gifts…

My Mak posing with her gifts.

Okay, picture first before unwrapping the gift!

jeng jeng jeng…

kekekeke… Obviously, she loved the gift.

I think the bracelet’s really pretty too… and unexpectedly affordable. It’s the last piece… glad we grabbed it just on time.

…

To the lady who doesn’t ask for much and doesn’t have very much because she has dedicated her life to both her children and her husband, I hope we can make you happier on your birthday.

the 16th, we are doing this with the whole team. Ok, many manyy anouncements to be made on Friday… and yes, we were a tad too formal for a picnic.

A few celebrations, squeezed into our very tight schedules. This post is officially, 1 month and 2 days late. That simply spells out how occupied i’ve been these days.

1st up, surprise celebration in the school canteen by my fellow colleagues and my students. I don’t have pictures because i lost my handphone recently. ..  I’ll try and get them from my students, if they still have it in their phone. Thank you dear colleagues, Cikgu Wati, Ms Loga & Siew Yian for the cake and the Bonia clutch bag.

…

2nd, was celebrations with Naz at night. As they were busy training for KGMS, he ended up passing me my pressie before we got on his bike and headed to Owen Rd. It was a nice Guess watch. Love it alot, thank you Love.

The next day, we had lunch at Royal on Scotts, after i rushed from SYF training in school. So, I didn’t get to dress up, or even put on a bit of make-up… Naz was really sick; he had a temperature… but he still went on with the lunch. I really appreciated it lots.

Food was good; i loved the dessert and sushi most.

…

A few days later, two of my WD girls surprised me with a cake and present at Pastamania.

…

All in all, thank you to all for still making it a point to remember my birthday, despite our busy schedules. I really appreciate it.

…

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANISZA! I am two days late… and i dun have ur number.

I have quite a few things to update on… including my Bday celebrations; which is very minimal this year because we are all oh so busy doing the things we do. Haiz… but it’s ok lah. I shall update this post with pictures soon. Yeay.

Something is not right, but I can’t quite put a finger on it. Often, I get this kind of feeling when people are talking behind my back. Oh well, it’s not within my control. My conscience is clear; I have done nothing wrong… so, I shouldn’t be bothered. I’ll just carry on doing my own thing.

…

Swine flu outbreak is causing quite a bit of disruption. My China and KL trip will be postphoned I think. I was looking forward to the trips actually, but was very concerned when I heard of the recent case in HK. Glad the school decided to reschedule the trips. A tad too risky to travel all the way there.

…

The MT papers are over, and the students are NOT in the mood to study. Oh man, they can be quite a handful when they’re distracted. hehe, but I’ve found a way to manage them (Nope, not gonna pen it down here).

…

I wanted to purchase caffeine free Hydroxycut pills last month, but they were out of stock. So I figured I’ll buy a whole bottle in May. Just as I was about to leave for school yesterday morning, I heard about the first Hydroxycut death and a few other casualties due to liver damage. I’m not sure whether it’s due to overdose, but I’m not taking my chances.

Guess it’s back to good old jogging.
