hello again. currently left with no voice to speak. Doctor ordered strict voice rest... but syllabus has yet to be covered.. and i don't want to miss lessons. Haiz wad to do?..

Woke up with this lousy feeling that my throat is going to die on me. Went to sch and realize i had hoarse voice. After 2 intensive periods back to back, my voice degraded into something short of a whine. Haha.. the pleasures of teaching.

Many things happened today, part of which includes my voice and painful throat and the real horrible ordeal at the clinic just now, another which includes me getting the nice nice email telling me that i have been shortlisted for interview for USP. Nothing that i really expected so i'm grateful for the chance. Wonders how the interview would be like or whether i would eventually make the cut. No matter. I'm living with the view that whatever's mine will be mine, and as long as i give it my best shot, i'll never regret my decision to submit my application. =)

  lets just say that i had a real busy and lousy week all rolled into one. was so affected by everything that was going on, i seek comfort as only i know how, by reaching out to my darlings. So far u guys have never let me down. you sure know who u guys are.

i do have loads of pics but as always i'm lazy to upload them. Don't yell at me i'm just tired of finding available space on my hard disk to upload them onto the com first. there's a reason!!

Hmm.. so many pics but none of me and you. i forgot about the camera... at such a wrong time.

First time i baked brownies or baked anything actually for anyone(angel) for any occasion(birthday). mom can't stop asking why. even dad is also asking. BLAH. and my ans? "because i want to". But it was worth it. All the running about finding the ingredients, the time and the OVEN(!!!), the trays and all... for you, it was worth it. Turned out not bad and i'm happy. =) (you could have been a little more appreciative though, i'm just complaining)

HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY ANGEL!

U are such a dear. =) obviously i enjoyed the time spent with you. love walking alongside you. love every moment. yay.

done i shan't blog anymore.  ¶ 8:58 PM 0 Comments

  Hello world. Finally it is the end of this week. You cannot begin to fathom how bad a week i had. It was just so disgustingly bad. Last week was bad because of insomnia(for no reason, at least none that i can think of), this week was bad because of the lousy hangover i had from last week and also the occurrence of heartbreaking moments. In summary, it was a pissing-me-off week.

Ytd was saturday.. The day of SMU interview for fac of ss. I went there with not much expectations. oh qd drove me in the convertible there so that really saved me the trouble of finding the building somewhere in dhouby ghaut.(i have totally fallen in love with the car. its show-offy but well i think it has the substance to flaunt. xp). Went there and took a long time figuring out how to get in when in actual fact, i was standing at the entrance all the while! Now how retarded can i get? lol. Then i entered and had to look for my name on the list. The woman pointed me to the wrong list and just when i start to panic that i had gotten the date wrong or some terrible thing had happened and i shouldn't have gotten the call nor the email or wadsoever.. she asked me again which fac interview i was there for. Aiyo. scare me. Social Sciences she pointed me to Econs. blah. But just as well i found jacob's name. =)

Yeah so signed in and all.. Walked a maze till i reach the interview area. Waiting outside with sweaty palms were some other interviewees. Tried to start a convo. It worked.. then more and more people joined us and at intervals so we had to keep asking the same qns over and over again and intro ourselves over and over again. okie i think u get my point.

Then a break for the profs before it was my turn. Somehow i was so light-hearted. See.. teaching does teach u how to be a daredevil and embracing the unknown. So since i was not freaking out, i was able to keep my thoughts flowing better than i could have hoped for. The topic that we touched on were also familiar. I can't help but feel so pleased. Others had qns pertaining to current affairs and i must confess that i have not been reading the news. So when they asked me instead about sociology and psychology i was so relieved. =) And another lucky bonus for me, when writing the essay for submission to another uni app, i wrote about the exact same topic that had intrigued me then. So... i had coherent ans because i had already thought about the topic before. haha. i was more or less praised too for my well thought-out ans. YAY! I feel happy not because i had nailed the interview but i feel that this is a major achievement for me, being able to perform up to my own expectations in such a stressful environment and not act like a FOOL! xp. Oh FYI, it was 2 prof to 1 candidate and apparently one of them is a psychologist. Whoo.

so after the interview (i saw val), i called jacob. a hunch that he'll be free for lunch. =) it has been a long while since i saw him. haha. okie lets just say i had a great time catching up with him and nas over lunch and after that with him and some students before mingjie joined us too. It was all so nice. loved it.

i have pics but i'm lazy to upload them now. soon soon. oh and teaching outside of classroom in food places earns u stares. And i realise students think differently about me. apparently they can't get used to seeing teacher (me) crazy. haha.. oops seems like i have an image to uphold. now now wad did HOD say about professionalism. heh.

i know i'm not making sense already. i just wanna go shopping. BYE!  ¶ 12:37 PM 0 Comments
