All in a day...

The most romantic thing that my dear has done for me...
It is sports day today. I prepared all things and I actually forgot to bring my sports shoes! So I called home SOS! Sweet darling came all the way down from home to school gate with my smelly pair of shoes and ai xin lunch! Melted~

I am glad and touched with my blessings. =)

The most disappointing thing that has happened to me…
Is to confide in someone whom you thought very close and end up there is betrayal of trust. Deep and painful wound. Is it still mendable?
"It takes a very long time to build up trust.. but it can be easily taken away overnight"

This is reality and I grow slower than others, learn the harder way. =(

All in a day…

Lazy Sunday

In the past, I will want to go out shop to destress. Now, I think sleeping early and waking up after 6am is a luxury. I am okie with staying at home, watching a show. I am so tired that I don’t even feel like going out. Maybe it’s the weather. I loathe the feeling of feeling sickly and yet not sick enough to see a doctor. Maybe I have been running around too much.

It has been a hectic week of lecturing, many late evenings of practices for guitar, preparing for lesson observation, unnecessary meetings/work and running up and down to be the ‘backend support’ for a school event on Saturday. I am dead beat! Sometimes I wonder how it is like working overtime in offices. Is it equivalent to my busy-ness in school? No, I think you wont have as much crap as me...

And I feel so lousy that I don’t have time to accompany my parents when they are here to stay. I don’t even have the energy to talk to my hubby when he’s back for the weekend. But guess what! I forgot to bring work home to do! Best! I think it’s fated. I really need to spend more time with my loved ones and REST.

I just feel like locking myself up in air con room and do nothing. What a total waste of time/luxury to do nothing…

Busy but happie week! =D

I thought I nagged ALOT of times and the kids should have already known by now... but I realise I have so many classes and I have been lecturing so much... so the net effect, each class have only heard once??!!! Or maybe i had actually left out for this class???!!!

So fast its wed already!!! Time really pass so fast, and it has been a hectic week. Originally wanted to spend more quality time with the folks, end up I am so tired coz of so many long days this week... and my compulsive yawning disorder is back again...

No complaints.. yup, everyone has their peak and now its mine so I shd and I will jiayou! p(^-^)q

Gg back amk to hibernate tmr and friday nite! Hee~ Bear be back on Saturday!

It wasn't Friday the 13th! But...

I had to use my colleague’s laptop coz the Camtasia (recording software) is not working on my laptop. And I thought that I had plugged in the adaptor and was charging well till it went blank on me midway through the lecture!

So I had to restart, log on… ransack my file from my totally disorganised thumb- drive. I forgot to cancel the projection and everyone (yes, it’s the auditorium of about 500 kids) just witnessed how I fumbled through my documents name …miffy.doc, …miffy.xls… wedding.doc… roarRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

And to top it off… when I finally found my momentum to elaborate, my hp sms went beeping for attention! I forgot to switch to silent mode! And there goes my doraemon tune! Wow~

Can you imagine how hot my face was??? Flushing in embarrassment! My goodness, how much more can Murphy’s law go? When I just scolded them 5 minutes ago, the 'fierce' lecturer’s nickname and ringtone was so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

.

And guess what?? When i went back staffroom, i realised my lecture wasn't recorded! coz i didnt plug in the mic! total waste of time. total waste of efforts! roarRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Confused

I wonder how I am gg to get through next week and next next week without my hubby ard... I know i sound so silly and sticky and mushy... but tts just me!!! It has been four months that i eat, live and sleep with my bear and now he's gg to serve the nation for 2 weeks, i'm gonna miss him rarRRRRRRRRR~


Early this year, i was still saying, i cant wait for april when my parents come over to stay with me while bear goes reservist.. now tt april is here, i so bu she de... so oxymoron... then, i miss my parents so much (not to say i dun now...), now i do feel happy that they will be here w me, so i be like the princess back in amk.. haha opps.. but then now, i miss my bear lo and i feel a part of me tt is missing and i guess it will be weird weird for the next 2 weeks ba..
argghhhh... i m so confused... i wish the 2 weeks to pass fast, so tt i can be in bear's arms soon? yet i wish the 2 weeks can be longer so tt i can be go back to the past n be w my parents longer???

but i have alot of things to do next 2 weeks! I must not fall sick! I must treasure every min of my next 2 weeks starting tmr!

Simplify your time techniques & words of wisdom!

Seven ways to say "No" while keeping your relationship with the Other Person

1. "Give me some time to consider", "Let me think about it. I'll call you back in an hour." Call back in an hour and say "No" politely without any justification.

2. "That's a great offer" But your time is so taken up with something else at the moment that you must regretfully say "No" to this project. Don't explain what 'something else' is or why it is more important. That could lead to a contradiction...

3. "I value you so much... There's no one I would rather do that with than with you, but this time i have to say no."

4. "That's something I don't do as a matter of policy."

5. "I'm really sorry for you."

6. "That doesn't suit me." Instead of saying "No, I don't feel like it", try saying "No, I can't do it that day."

7. "Hmmmm.... no." Say "No" in a definite tone of voice and look at the person when you say it. Otherwise you make it look as though there is still room for negotiation.

.

There is a natural law in psychology just as in physics: the level of stress to which you are exposed corresponds exactly to your capacity to cope with it. People who can handle stress (and openly declare it) are given more and MORE to cope with - until one day they break!

No Importa La Distancia - The Distance Doesn't Matter

A very inspiring spanish theme song from Disney Hercules - by Ricky Martin! My colleague sang it @ farewell assembly last yr. Very touching! Will get the music and share it soon... Meanwhile, to jiayou the hubby and studying girls and myself ! Go-Go-Go!!

Once I dreamt
That someplace
I could be someone
If I could learn how to love
And I also dreamt
That if I were to triumph
I would have to overcome
My stubborn pride
I will get there one day
The distance doesn't matter
I will find my way
And I will be worthy
Step by step
I'll go
And I will persist
Whatever distance I must go
I will find love
I saw you once
It was all so unreal
And even though it was a dream
I felt you next to me
I know that you are out there
That I will find you
Even if it takes a lifetime
I will never give up
I will get there one day
The distance doesn't matter
I will find my way
And I will be worthy
Step by step
I'll go
And I will persist
Whatever distance I must go
I will find love
Beyond all the glory,
Pride and valor
A hero's power
Is found in his heart.
I will get there one day,
The distance doesn't matter
I will be with you
In your splendor
Step by step
I'll go
And I will persist
Whatever distance I must go
I will have your life and your love

~ Less is More ~

Life is draining the life out of me! And I keep adding on to my never ending to-do-list! Everything to me is like top notch priority and i am freaking out!! 24 hours, only one me!!! So the other day, while i was in the library, i think it is just fate is trying to help me too! i found this book - "7 practical steps to leeting go of your burdens and living a happier life"

.

So i have browsed thr and extracted the essence from the introductory chapter and decide to share with my ever-busy friends also...

Simplicity in its basic form means just being.

The aspiration for simplicity often turns into a process of growing complexity.

Tidying up
1) Your things - everything you own (more than 10,000 things!!!)
2) Your finances – cash and account balances + debts and loans + behavioural patterns and mental blocks with $$$
3) Your time – wife/husband/darling, boss, colleagues, customers, family, everyone stakes a claim to your time & daily routines and duties, hobbies. Where do you find the time just for yourself, to catch up with your self, time to think and do nothing?
4) Your health – long term prevention of illness, keeping fit!
5) Your relationships – social networks (friendly relationships or social engagements can be complicated)
6) Your life partnership – the significant other!
7) Yourself - life’s goal, own idea of fulfilment and happiness, life’s purpose

So learn to integrate these into your daily life:

1) Reduce things by half instead of doubling them
2) Get rid of junk instead of piling it up
3) Relax instead of stressing
4) Slow down instead of speeding up

Seems like a good pick hor... tsk tsk...Will update progress if i ever get to finish the book hee~
