You know, in X Men: The Last Stand, Mystique becomes human way too early and Magneto turns his back on her. That was the worst scene ever in the movie. Mystique had been a faithful follower to Magneto, yet when she defended him by taking the shot for the mutant cure, she was betrayed.
This is exactly how I feel now. I feel as if someone has stabbed me in the back, and the wound never went away because it never healed. It festered and continues to fester till now. I know I am sworn to secrecy by the nature of my job..but still, human nature is weak. It is vulnerable. I NEVER wanted to play the game of politics. But have become an unwilling victim sucked into the politics that I always wanted to avoid. The feeling sucks.

I'm leaving for Hong Kong with my childhood friend tomorrow. Flying by Jetstar. Strange thing is, we only settled our accommodation today! Wow! How last minute! Best thing is, no one is there to guide us or give directions. We are just sort of gonna try and find our way. Oh i am sure it would be fun just shopping and shopping away! Will update when i get back. Next week, I will be going off to Batam for a spa special. I cannot wait!!!

This weekend saw the birth of two newly weds-Ivan and Melissa. Congrats to the longsuffering couple, after rounds of objections and trials, two hearts finally unite. But the weekend was a crazy affair. E329 had been mobilised to help out for the wedding matrimony in church. Poor Dear had to carry 84 chairs up and down..as manpower was severely lacking. The rest of us had to help out too..I had to stack chairs and get the things ready and all in place..
I would rather not be there. Honestly, a serving heart is what I do not have. Especially this weekend.. All of us in the cg had to help out, and even when it came to refreshments, we had to wait till our chores were done before we could eat. Even then, the food had been depleting and we had to eat quicklly in order to continue stacking chairs.. Sigh. Jasmine had the best time..she was able to take photos of herself and have fun posing with the flowers.. Sigh.
Glad it is over. My sch posting..I have been sent back to my prac sch. Thankfully..cos i know i could have gone to somewhere worse off..so i thank the Lord for His plan..

This short post is to lament..I miss Sec 2B too, for they are a rowdy but lovable and cute bunch. I asked for permission to take over the start of the invigilation for them today just to see them for the last time. They are so funny! When they saw me, they went like, "Alamak cher, you again ah!" Ha ha what an unusual welcome.
Then when they stood to greet me, I said thank you class!!! HA HA. They said thank you in return and cheered and jokingly went to pack their bags before laughing harder. Funny class. Then when they all settled down, I wrote the timing wrongly for them, as I thot it was a 2hr paper. However, they corrected me by saying that it was only 1.5 hours! Ha ha. Funny. And I told them I love them so much that I write the timing longer. They laughed and said thanks. This is a cute class. Why did I even bother asking for a change in CTs in the first place? Of cos I got a gd CT, but this class! They are surely the cutest around! :)

My practicum ended yesterday, not with a bang. It was nevertheless, triumphant as six trainees including myself sauntered merrily out of the gates together for the first time, waiting to go to meet another trainee for lunch at Fish and Co PP. I am so happy that this has come to an end. What a journey it has been...
Unfair expectations and needless comparions from soup, encouragements and tips from CTs and other teachers, lame jokes in the staff wkroom and endless lesson planning/marking...Kiss them all goodbye for now. I am thankful for this experience, knowing that I could never have done it without Jesus. The endless prayers and encouragement from every direction are 100 percent appreciated!
In this post, I want to thank my students at the school..thanks very much for all your patience and love for me. Thank you for looking beyond my inadequacies and inexperience, and for believing in me, trusting me. I hope I have helped to contribute to your learning in some ways. Thank you 2/2 for the one and a million times you have pulled me through. Although you are a passive bunch and that displeased my soup, I am pleasantly surprised that we parted on a good note. Thanks for the card and well wishes! Won't ever forget the fun times in class and your three cheers for Mr Lee and myself. I will miss you all.
My dear 1/1, your obedience and love touch me deeply too. Your enthusiasm in my class has encouraged me and fuelled my passion to teach and think of new ways to teach. Thanks to the girls for the coconut sweets and Hello Kitty card. How did you all know I like Hello Kitty? hAhA. I wish you all the best in your studies..Mid yr exams..Ace them!
To my trainees, thanks always for the fun in the fish tank. Hehe. We sure shared many memories together. Mr James Teo for his seriousness and lollipops, the ever hardworking Yijun and Hazwah, the very lame Chua Lian Hwey. And of cos, my other crazee gals Abidah and Jumie. All of you make my day. You will be missed.
To my CTs, Mr Tan and Mr Lee, thanks so much for everything. For making our stay at BGSS memorable and pleasant. Thanks for believing in me. Thanks for helping me build confidence in myself. One of the best things a trainee can hope to have are good mentors that guide and encourage, and always believing in their trainees. Your faith pulls me through!
Farewell to the school. I may or may not return. I do not know. God leads the way. :)

Just got back from Thailand yesterday, a weekend getaway..back to sch today. Sian. I'm facing a bad loss now..The baby boy Yanfeng has gone to a childcare centre..and the best part is his parents, my relatives did not bother telling my mum (his caregiver) until last Sat. And there I was in Thailand shopping happily buying all the cutsey stuff for him.
This teaches me never to assume too much.never take the people around you for granted. I dun think I will ever get to see Yanfeng anymore.. for a long long time. I miss him already. His baby smell and his cuddly body. Sigh. My mum's worse..She's been crying. Personally, I think that his parents are too much....They should not have just called to inform my mum about the sudden decision..Super rude and insensitive.
True enough, many things had happened prior to this quick decision..Alot of unpleasant exchanges had happened between Yanfeng's parents n my family..However, I really am going to miss him loads. When I got home today, the house seemed so empty and silent. Instead of the usual greeting I get from Yanfeng, only the sounds of the TV fill the living room. Yet we hear reports that he is happy and perhaps, in time to come soon, he may not remember us anymore. Sigh. Loss is painful to speak of.
