From the start of the holidays, I actually went back to school with Gavin to prepare lessons for the upcoming term. Did a lot of things actually. By being at school, I found myself more disciplined in doing my work when I went back to school. However, I only went back for 3 days.
During this week I actually went to have an X-ray on my spine because I had to determine whether I need Chiropractic treatment, a process whereby they literally make use of a special machine to 'crack' and adjust your bones back into a proper place. So far it has been determined that my spine IS crooked and needs treatment. Heehee I hope after the treatment my spine will be in a better position and my tummy will be smaller.
Did a lot of counselling this week to a number of people about relationships and dealing with loss. I decide that since I've gained a very sorrowful experience I should teach others how to live with it and get over it, not mourn and sink deeper into it.
Other things I did during the holidays was to eat food cooked by Guohong - who was a relief teacher and therefore my colleague for a short period of time. All of us who went had a great feast at his house.. even though I had a stomach upset later on. But I attribute it to my gluttony. How can I blame it on his food?
The next guy who cooked for me was Charn Koon, ex colleague from JWSS. Almost all of us have left JWSS by now except for Mr Pang, Roy and Alice. The two kids of Charn Koon was so cute! I had to say I really favour the younger son course he is really more obedient and lovely. The sweetest parting gift was his hug and kisses he gave most of us before we went off.
Went to town twice this holiday week and went out.... to a lot of places lah. Dwell into my hobby and made a full Russian Tank squad to be mounted on the Russian Tank T-34. I also made the prize for top history student for end of year. Feel a great sense of achievement both in work and play man! Really happy to enjoy myself this holiday. But I must keep preparing stuff for my students... Cannot stop or else there'll never be enough! Mock Exam, revision, quiz..... Ok GTG and do work now to torture my students! HAHAHAHAHAHA....
Oh before I go - must post the pictures of David Liew and Sherine's production - their daughter! So cute. The visit on Wednesday - only a few of us went but it was jovial enough, for a while we were distracted by the news on tremors but then the focus still went onto the baby. :o)
