I'm confused ... I do not know if i can live with that forever, thus i decided to speak up. But i really dont know if i did the right thing. I just hope that i can not be so afraid anymore ... sometimes i wonder is it me who is suffocating myself with all those imagination? fear can be really powerful...
my arm has been strangely highly susceptible to numbness and felt like pins pricking even when i just relax... according to the web, it might be my arteries or even nerve system ...

Down with stomach virus for 2 days .. dunno wat to do at home.. cos i jus completed Dragon Age (thinking should i buy the expansion set which is out next week =x) and i too sian too do any work. In fact, not much is to be done unless i start doing lesson plans for lessons after the march holidays ... Lets do a short recount of my work... The first day of school, i was assigned to teach immediately as one of the teacher need to go for operation, thus i had to cover her for one of her english class every single day. It was like the baptism of fire as i had to jump straight into it and initially met with some obstacles. But i must say it has been quite fulfilling after a few lessons.
I also went into 2F, a class which i taught last year. It was really great to see most of them welcoming me back ^^ at least they remembered me ~ But i' quite sad at their history CA results (cos i'm one of the markers for the level) ... I still remembered many of them loving history last yr de...
Last week was quite different as we only have 2 days of lessons b4 going overseas for camp. Slack slack =x Kahang was rather nice. Food okay, weather okay. I think the most attractive thing is the time to bond with both the teachers and students. 10 male teachers squeezing into one room is a sure formula for bonding =x we also had late night gossipping among teachers which was quite enlightening and fun -x
From students, i could also see their vitality and class spirit. Though the class din win, i'm sure the class gained alot form this trip. Its really heartening when they helped each other mindlessly =) it would be great if i could return as their co-form next sem ...
BUT ... i'm also very glad to be back to Singapore!! Aircon aircon!! =x Oh and not forgetting my darling for being so sweet in writing letters to me everyday ^^ i no money for activating auto-roaming ma =x

Nobody is borne perfect.
Regardless of how successful or confident you are (or looked), there bound to be some holes in that brick wall you built to protect yourself. These holes are you weaknesses and once any of them are given a blow hard enough, the wall will crumble into pieces ... and rebuilding will not be able to take place within a short time
I cant stand being repeatedly called short ... (although i know i am and i had trained to bear any insults coming) But sometimes it just overwhelming ... and this brings me back to the low esteem which had alwis been protected by my 'wall'.
From young i had gone through countless comments bout my height. Seeing my younger brothers and cousins towering me is bad enough.. now even their girlfriends and my much younger female cousins ... Maybe for gals not so bad, but for guys, height is a source of pride and superiority. In sports, whether its football, basketball or volleyball, i'm always restricted due to my height. Hence the reason i tried so hard to jump higher, hoping to grow taller.. In de end, i was de shortest high jump champion in my school when i was 14, but my height nvr increased at all =( *i will happily trade my tropy for a few inches...*
Even when i interested in gals during my secondary education .. i''m lacked the confidence to really believe i'm any way superior to the other male classmates
Now that i gonna teach soon.. i'm still afraid my height will weaken my authority in class ...
Another weakness i have is I cant deal with false accusations ...i will really flare up sometimes =x I remembered that when i was young, my mum accuse me of something i din do ... i shouted rudely at her back ... when my older bro accuse me, we argue to smash radio ... until army my officer accuse me.. i still cant stop fighting back.. hiaz.. maybe i too head strong ba ...
Things we done 1. See snow!! 2. Walk on ice literally 3. Skiing and knocking down people like playing bowling =x 4. Eat lots of kimichi, steamboats and meaty 5. Ate Lotteria.. which is sooo fabulous 6. Sing together in a small cabin and score 99 with Top of the World!! 7. Experience the cold and dry weather .. my shorts create so much static that there are noise evey time i move -.-" 8. Sleep and sleep on bus =x 9. Gossip about a noisy boy 10. Takes lots of crazy photos and videos
and many more!!!
It will be 2010 soon ... gotta reflect and improve myself ^^
