Term 3 Week 10!! Yay!!

hmm.. finally week 10 is here.. going to be a short week too, with Teacher's Day celebration on Thu and the actual thingy on Friday.. short short week, but everyday of this week will drag till past 5.. oh well, not really something to complain about I suppose..
so, gonna put up a dumb performance during the celebration thingy.. "It's a tradition that all new teachers have to.. blah blah.." sigh.. traditional mindsets.. the first thing that is always blamed for everything that happens.. e.g. Why is there racial/religious discrimination? - traditional mindsets.. Why do people behave the way they do and not be receptive to change? - traditional mindsets.. see what I mean? lolx..
itz gonna be fun though, crappy rather, or maybe juz crap.. whatever it is, we're putting in effort to get it done (not as much as the dancers though.. KanĀ² - jia you!!), and I don't really understand why teachers have to put in effort to prepare for an item for teacher's day celebration.. like.. duh..
alritez, enough of complaining.. not that I really mind, juz wanted to make this post longer.. oh well, last Sat was spent eventfully in school.. got to sch like abt 1100 just to play soccer with S14 kids.. ended up playing with some other students first before playing with them.. super tiring indeed, and this from someone who had hobbled to sch on Mon and Tue in slippers and a bandaged ankle..
after that, we were supposed to discuss the items that we were to put up for the celebration, and somehow we finished discussion for our item real fast and that was that.. chop chop.. the dancers were like learning their moves and I basically juz stoned there waiting for god-knows-what.. that ended at like 1600 and we changed n headed to TM for coffee..
came back later for Homecoming Dinner.. was sitting with people I didn't exactly know.. was with this teacher whose student is also teaching in TP.. coincidental huh? and so basically I was like walking everywhere else, talking to others.. thanks del, without you, I think I would have died of boredom man.. lolx.. so that ended at 10++ and finally I headed home..
12 hours in sch on a Saturday.. power man.. not my idea of a weekend.. eventful, but think I'd rather just spend it lazing at home watching dvds and the telly with my dearest.. =)

Jaded?

yes I know it's been too long, so don't go reminding me that I should have updated ages ago.. since the last time I updated, National Day has come and gone.. another few weeks have gone, and rather unknowingly, it's like week 9 of term 3 already.. alrite, not unknowingly, but really quickly..
so well.. it's almost been a term now, and slowly I'm feeling my way around.. getting to know what to do and getting to know my students.. and that's what I really appreciate about being in a school environment I guess.. chatting with them outside of class, "making fun" of them, etc.. only don't like being the butt of their jokes.. but then again, who does?
hmm.. somehow still feeling that there are lots of skills to be brushed up on, somehow like not providing my classes with the best becoz I'm not there yet myself, but gotta try somehow or rather..
sigh.. I don't seem to be able to find a topic to talk about in my recent posts.. has my life really been that lacking that there's isn't anything concrete at all that is worth mentioning? or is it just that I'm so jaded that things don't interest me? I wonder..

Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But its home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walkin down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
And know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Til then I walk alone
