This little imp is such a sweet boy who knows how to share, give kisses like they’re free, and is growing up ever so quickly.

2 more months to 2 years! Oh goodness. Time flies!
And soon, he’ll be talking non-stop…
… was spent at AYG.
Was deployed to chaperone a team for sailing at the National Sailing Centre, and the weather for the past few days had been great. As sailing is one event that you can’t really watch on the spot (unless you’re out at sea with the competitors or you have a binoculars), we relied on the live commentary from the reporters out at sea who blogged about what was going on.
The whole competition will end on 6th July. A few more days to go… not to mention the demise of my weekend. Sigh. But oh well, the experience has been a good one so far, so I’ve no complaints
…
Had a break today and ran several errands, including catching up on my marking. It was cathartic in some sense, I guess.
Having not done anything pertaining to other people other than myself.
Doing my own things at my own pace.
We even went to the Night Safari to chill in the evening.
I like this. Not accounting for anyone, not being accounted for. Great stuff.

Went for a little road trip from 17th to 21st June 2009 in Malaysia and it was, well, fun but tiring. A total of near 1700 km travelled by car!
We went to a few places: Cameron Highlands, Gopeng (for whitewater rafting), Fraser’s Hill, Port Dickson (for lunch) and Malacca (again!). I wish the holidays will never end, though

Last Friday, a bunny took me to the zoo and we had fun horsing around.
I’m so proud of our zoo. One of the best in the world and certainly an extremely beautiful one

Spent a nice (but very very humid) 3 hours there. Will try to conquer more of it the next time!

It’s time for a mid-year review (man, this sounds like work!), and what better time to do it but now?
I haven’t been reflecting much these days (note the very short and crisp posts of late)… or rather I choose not to reflect and delve too deep into things; capturing those special moments with beautiful pictures suffice to tell a long story short.
So. Here goes.

I love how quiet school was today. Bittersweet solitude indeed, but very much needed.
How time flies.
15 more days to a year.
A year ago a journey started, and boy had it been a rollercoaster ride full of ups and downs.
Now I stand here doing a self-check, and I would rate myself as… ok. So far, so good.
Hopefully things will continue to go as smoothly as they can possibly be.
Life is good.
I need to remember that.
Lots of planning to be done soon… need to stop procrastination.

Went to 茶渊 along Neil Road for an enrichment programme with the students, and I loved how simply beautiful the place was.

Learnt a bit of 茶道 as well. Sweet. Something I’ve always wanted to learn.
A nice getaway, albeit lasting only 2 hours.

It’s like, I don’t know, I’m feeling dumb and stupid all of the sudden. And then I realize that this is not I want or wish for, but I no longer know how to get out of it. Or grow out of it.
And I feel guilty. I feel sad. I feel useless. I feel ignorant, like a fool who chooses to tread onto unknown land so foolishly.
I hate this. I hate how things are. I hate things may be. I hate how things will be.
Maybe… I’m just not cut out for all this after all.

… was horrible for me.
It has been really stressful for me. I mean, I’ve never felt so tried and so tired for a long long time.
Oh well. I hope it’ll be over soon.
Like someone said, “There will be an end.” So it shall.
Thursday evening was wonderful, for both the students and all of us.
I’m glad to have known all 10 of you.
All the best for the future… I miss you lot already.
Hope the new leaders can rise up to the occasion.
