*Sigh. It gets more depressing when the people around me seem to be more negative and dreadful of work than I am. I feel like a ditched comrade :(


Hang in there, Yu Pei!

I know this comes a little too too late, but heck, I just want to rant!

It's a brand new year once again an school begins as usual, it's upsetting to see the holidays past us but that's the reality. :( Each year just gets busier, it seems. Somehow, this year begins especially busily for me. Have been attending training, courses and workshops since week 1, and I barely have time to sit at my table to take a rest. I suddenly just felt a great sense of fatigue when I realise it becomes a routine as a teacher to be hectic - morning wakes up at 5, prepares and leaves at 6, tries to reach school as early as possible to clear as much as possible, has lessons with class, rushes here and there, gobbles down meals and food, rushing for whatever courses/training/workshops/meetings, sits at the table to clear markings till almost 6 when auntie comes and nags us out of staffroom, cabs home to save time, jumps into bed for power nap, wakes up for dinner, marks and clears work again, showers and sleeps.

If I were to imagine to do this for the rest of my life, I will turn older by ten years right away. Now I truly understand the high turnover rate of our education system. It is kinda depressing to even think of such a routine for the whole year. But I will persevere and always looking forward and hoping for a year when things get manageable and better from then on. Or perhaps, it will just get slightly better every month, who knows? Hope and faith is all I need to hang on! I'm hanging with a hand, and going back to marking with another, ciao.

Going a little less sane day by day...

I'm fine! I'm fine! I think I got quite crazy while researching about everything regarding wedding. From auspicious dates to photography to bridal shops to actual day to rental of vehicles to reviews of everything, the list is never ending! I know I'm super kiasu because we are not intending to get married till 2015.

Actually I didn't mind end of next year but I want to attend my dearest cousin's and Sinee's! So I can't risk into clashing theirs. :)

Well, but doing more research and prepare earlier is definitely better than late. So I've settled a couple of things!
1. Wedding date checked! 
Most likely to be on 25072015, our 11th anniversary :) We just wanted a 25th of any month but it wasn't easy to choose a 25th over a weekend yet an auspicious date. So the earliest we found is this date! Initially there's a little hiccup because my parents felt that lunar June is not ideal. I'm glad I managed to persuade them. Yay!
2. Bridal shoot package checked!
Signed with La Belle Couture last weekend at the BOWS event.

Guess that's all so far. As I'm so in love with different shades of light blue, was thinking along the line of Tiffany blue theme. :)))


 This is a love at first sight!!! Would like to have this on my actual day. Better still if I can have a ride on this in my wedding gown!



So in love with this too! My favourite colour in lovely princess cut. I hope I can find something similar at the bridal shop. Needless to say, my jiemeis will need to dress in light/Tiffany blue too!

Basically I wish the whole venue will be decorated in light blue and white. But then again, it's just a half day buffet lunch event, is it worth to put in so much effort, time and money on it? :/

Well, as I say, there's still a long way to the actual day and I can have the luxury of time to consider. I just need an outlet to pour everything out as he's getting bored and tired listening to all these. LOL!

The long-awaited end-of-term-2 is here! !! My rainbow is getting nearer!  I'm flying in less than one week's time!  I can't wait!  Woohooooo!

Finally I've completed half the marathon of Term 2 this year. Looks like term 2 is the most dreadful term of all, very few holidays and a lot to cover. But once it's over, rainbow will appear right in front of me, I believe :)
A planned trip to Australia from 14th to 23rd of June and the tickets were booked last December! See how excited we were? And a pretty impromptu trip to Taiwan from 9th to 12th June was booked about 2 weeks back. And for the first time, I'm not flying with him! He decided to pangseh me and go Taiwan with his colleagues so I jio-ed Regina to go overseas with me and she said TAIWAN!

So, how can spending half of my holidays overseas not be rainbow? :D

Meanwhile, let's quickly complete all the things on my to-do list :/

Time flies! It's February 2013!

The reason for the lack of update: new blog to update.
But the blog belongs to my dear P1 class and their dearest parents. I've been updating so frequently there that I've no time for my personal blog. So, I've spent more than a month with my lovely P1s so far. My ex-students have been asking me, how's teaching the little ones. I will always reply, "Not too bad! But the joy and the angst they bring me are totally different from what you guys gave me last time." Indeed! One thing I realised is I never thought I will be interacting with parents so much. Good thing they are all really nice and kind to me. Still, the rushing of syllabus is draining ALL (teachers, kids, parents) of us out! Suddenly, Chinese New Year become a lovehate event this year when I realise the number of periods I'll be losing next week!

Last day for the mad rush tomorrow and I should just not think about it for a while and enjoy the joyous new year!
