Inspired Miffy~ whoa whoa whoa~

I love Friday evenings and I just learnt a new phrase – TGIF!!! =D glad that weekend is coming tsk tsk~

Work is slowly creeping all over me…marking is finding its way into my life again… arghhhh~ I simply loathe it! I don’t want to revisit 2007 again, its nightmare!!!

Anywayz, on a lighter note… yesterday… my passion for my forte is revived again!

I attended a very inspiring seminar by the renown Econs professor and he is really good! Making technical terms simple for the students and cracking easy to understand economic jokes~ and I truly agree that you can be very good in your content but how you deliver them to the students and make them understand and appreciate is one big challenge. He, he is good in both!

Learnt lots of stuff about the global economic crisis and I felt so much like a student! It is really important to immerse yourself in such courses once a while to make u love the subject once again when u r somewhat lost in the marking tsunami… and after the session I was like wowwwww I learnt so much in 1+ hours as compared to few hours of info overload online!

I feel that I have so many books to learn, so much things that I want to share with my kids but I simply don’t have the time to read so many things!!! I am always so ashamed for knowing so little.. being so ignorant, limited GK, sigh... So sad, the opportunity cost is so high but the rewards of wii and tv and nua are just so enticing… how how how??? Like hubby says, I have 101 to-do-list and the items never clear while I am just adding on more and more to the list!

But still, I am inspired! I am inspired! At least this weekend, I think! I hope it will last me through 2009!!!

IT fair come quick!!! Arghhh I am sick of comp-less @ home!!! I want my fast fast chio chio lappie!! roarRRRRRR~

Currently addicted to the Fringe (tt resembles X-Files)

.
A Science Fiction that follows an FBI Fringe Division team based in Boston, Massachusetts. The team uses unorthodox "fringe" science and FBI investigative techniques to investigate "the Pattern", a series of unexplained, often ghastly occurrences which are occurring all over the world.
.
Fringe follows the exploits of FBI Special Agent Olivia Dunham, scientist Walter Bishop, and his son Peter as they investigate aspects of fringe science (telepathy, levitation, invisibility, reanimation, genetic mutation, teleportation, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, precognition, etc). All over the world, a series of apparent experiments collectively referred to as "the Pattern" are occurring for reasons unknown.
.
The lead actress is so pretty and 'seh' very intellectual show that i must watch attentively to understand what is gg on... and cannot ask my hubby coz he needs to think and make sense of wat is gg on too =P
.
and The Mentalist (tt resembles CSI)

.
Golden Globe Award nominee Simon Baker stars as Patrick Jane, an independent consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), who has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp skills of observation. He also makes frequent use of his mentalist abilities to lead witnesses or offenders into offering the actual facts of the case, as known only to them.
.
Within the Bureau, Jane is notorious for his blatant lack of protocol and his semi-celebrity past as a psychic medium, whose paranormal abilities he now admits he feigned. Jane's role in cracking a series of tough high-profile cases is greatly valued by his fellow agents.
.
I think the lead actor is one of the best tt i have ever seen! i am so mesmerised by his charismatic looks and charming smile and mischievous wink~ just look at him... isnt he so cool???

Pensive night - count your blessings

As I pen down my tots tonight, I thought I am a little sad. Not that I am being bullied but a lot of little and big things that happened lately and the bottled up feelings just get trapped inside…

I m still coping well at work, lots of free breaks in school, just that I am trying very hard to finish my stuff so that I wont need to bring home. But sadly, I think its not possible.

On a lighter note, I finished my series of lectures for Term 1! Finally ever since the start of school, I’ve been at the rostrum for weeks till I m really numbed. So glad that its over, I can get some rest before I start the next round after March holidays.

Been also running back home very often for the hot soup and familiar dishes and meeting up with frenz for dinner. The folks are also popping by quite often to help out with the chores and I do appreciate it deeply :) taking care of the husband (who is equally as moo as me i realise at times) and the house (which is like i cant rem whether my scongee is in master room or study room or dinning table or living room or master toilet or common toilet tt kind of extent...) is no small deal lor... not forgetting the waking up at 530 in the morn...

And esp this festive season, I find myself hosting guests after guests, wkends after wkends and the cleaning up before the visits and clearing up after the visits… and my visitor list is not done yet. So those of u guys who have been to the Ang Residence, u r considered lucky! And for those who are still waiting, ur turn will come eventually.

i bought wii. but i dun even have time to play it. i have a few magazines and i haven got the chance to sit down and read it. my GEM drama episodes r slowly accumulating and i hardly get to watch them consistently & regularly...

Some issues which I cannot reconcile with but have to give blessings because its my beloved friend’s happiness afterall. I respect the decision. :)

The daughter of someone closed to me just passed away lately. It brought a lot of pensive moments for me. I don’t need to be close to her in order to feel sad. I don’t need to know her well enough to know how she has impacted lives of people around her with her optimism.

As I sat in the church service today to bid her farewell, my heart stirred with emotions. My heart pained for the grieving mother whom I respect, I teared when I read the poems that the little girl wrote. Then suddenly flashbacks of that day @ church with him, the caring teachers around me, new challenges at work… my lovely husband, my loving yet naggy parents, my sweet and surprising quite hardworking students that motivates me, my grandfather… how I want people around me to remember me as? How much can I give?

My heart felt so heavy with all the random things… oh did I tell u tt I am a blue – did a character analysis in Jan and found out I am the super emo kind~ I think my hubby is a green – analytical coz he’s a physics guy… i think it's gonna take a while to connect to that emotional level, afterall we are from venus and mars...
i should count my blessings. :)
