random picks for an update.

was diagnosed with a lung infection a couple of weeks ago when i went for the pre-employment check-up.. there were these Doxycycline pills or something that i had to take.. and as you know, the course of antibiotics must always be completed. haha!~ but i haven't been taking the pills, especially at work.. sometimes i forget to eat, or sometimes i just simply don't want to! i had doodoo asking me why i didn't eat the pills at work, and he also asked me why i didn't tell the teacher that i had to have my medication during lunch. i just went like.. "teacher? what teacher? i am the teacher." LOL.

hmm. whenever i observe the teachers during their teaching time.. everything looks so natural to them. but when it comes to the training time, (and soon i'll have to start teaching T_T!), i realise that everything, every single little action requires much thought and consideration, and yet at the same time, decisions must be made withtin that split second. that's' what makes me scared and nervous and all.. cos i really don't know what the kids are gonna do next, or what exactly i should do next. unpredictability can kill, but it can also provide room for laughter. :X but the training's pretty progressive, so that kinda helps. it is a rather interesting job i must say (don't ask me why, it just is!), despite the working hours i see the teachers clocking in :X! well nothing is ever too easy i guess~

what makes it easier is that some of the kids (a minority) do such funny things that i can't help but laugh for almost an entire 1/2 hour. they're innocent, and yet they try to act all grown up and stuff at times and they're not shy at doing their own thing! :X! i wouldn't usually say that the kids i've met so far in the early childhood field are cute.. but i would say that for some of the kids at where i'm at noW! o.o!!!

and i realise, that working actually helps me to seize the day. because by the time i reach home (it takes about 2 hours by bus -.-), its time to go to bed already (well of course, there's always an opportunity for me to squeeze in time for lots n lots of obsessive online shopping :X). so now, i cherish the weekends more than ever.. because i have to work for 5 days to get just 2 days off. haha! i really can't wait for the June hols.. although i've got to go back to work for several events like our staff dinner, Family Day (with other schools for children with autism) where all the teachers'll be performing, an Occupational Therapy talk and of course, a training session!

i can't believe this as well~ i had put the BA for English @ NTU as my 2nd choice because it really was a 2nd choice. the 3rd and 4th choices were more or less there just to fill up the space but now i'm thinking my 4th choice may as well be my 2nd choice because my 2nd choice (English) is really what i don't want to get into.. and guess what? they called me up for an intervie, and i can't make it due to work commitments (i'm on probation so if i take an MC its considered as unpaid).

anyway, first week of school's down! 9 more to go :) woohoo!

i just remembered something.. =/ my addiction to the Longan & Red Dates drink @ ding tai fung. sooo nice!~!~!~ and their fried rice is SO eggy - i can't help but LOVE it. its the eggiest fried rice i've ever eaten. muahahahaha!~

and i also spotted something that was lame. i mean.. yeah it had good intentions, but still, lame. it says "Value Life. Act Responsibly" and that can be found on a sign near the MRT tracks. you see, we'll never know what one's thinking of when he's entirely suicidal. What if they think that suicide is a way of valuing the lives of their loved ones around them, because they don't want to be a burden to the people who mean the most to them and trouble them with life's daily troubles? Thus, acting responsibly would mean committing suicide in that case since they would most probably view suicide as the one thing that could stop their families from worrying about their problems once and for all. Well~ we'll really never know what they think, but that's what i thought. :X!
