Yay.....54 months together. Seriously, I wonder if there's still anyone who has been together pass 2 years and still calculate how many months they have been together......and I wonder if we would continue to count it by months even after we are married....so...do we actually now celebrate according to our wedding date or the date that we got together??? It's not like we have started an entirely new life together...rather.....I would feel that we just extended our lives and relationship to a different level...if you know what I mean... =)
=) Have planned a surprise for my darling...am not sure if I am actually able to complete it later on....but I'm crossing my fingers...
Anyway.....
I have signed my contract this morning with Darling and his mother...and I bumped into my primary school Maths HOD.....she still recognises me......i wonder if it's because I was that "special" or if it's because of my unique name...as so many former teachers and schoolmates have told me......since no one else they know has that name, thus it's no wonder that they would actually remember me for my name....=) But, back to the topic, she actually is glad that I have joined the "teaching fraternity" as she had so nicely put it, and is actually encouraging me and asking me to return to my alma mater...after I have "seen" the world and got a feel of how other schools actually operate.......She's speaking on the same wavelength as the current principal of my alma mater, who assures me that they'll gladly welcome their old girls to come back as teachers of the school with open arms....but because the environment there would be so different (in a good way) as compared to other schools, thus they feel it would be better if we got a taste of the not so sweet side of life first... In that way, we would appreciate our life more when we come back, thus making teaching a more fruitful profession in our lives. =) I totally agree with that opinion, and I want to make the most of the time I am learning in other schools out there.....Much as Darling tells me not to put so much hopes on how wonderful my alma mater may be, as it just means putting too much high hopes, and I may get disappointed.... yet I know that life there would be so much sweeter, coz I sincerely feel that an all-girls school would be much easier to teach.....having come from one....=) Also, it would mean being in a family where the teachers there would consist of teachers who had previously taught you.....Most importantly, I guess, would be the fact that we all have the same values, and want to inculcate the same kind of upbringing in the students as the one that we had.....
Watched 200 pound beauty last night at darling's place.....and I agree with Angela that it's a very good show......really questions you about the topic of inner beauty, as well as what the world considers beautiful....who you really are, or who you seem to be.......it's very thought-provoking, and a show that actually makes you think and feel........ is what the society thinks really all that important, or do we, as humans, just place too much importance on that??????
Had our General Staff Meeting yesterday from 9am to 5.30 pm....I almost died.......it was so dry and full of facts, but I guess it's part and parcel of the job....after all, who am I to complain, considering I had one full month of holiday??? Not exactly sleeping in everyday and all...but I still had a very relaxed one...and I took purpose in enjoying it because I know it's the only one I'll have until I begin life as a full-fledged teacher....=) But anyway, for the next 3 weeks that I will be in school, I will literally be waiting for teachers to go on MC before I actually have something to do..... I understand that coz after all, they can't give me my own timetable as that would mean more trouble for them once I leave.......but I really hate doing relief...you don't know what to expect, and you may not even know what you are teaching or talking about!!! You just have to hope and pray that you can successfully smoke your way through without the children finding out that you are actually quite clueless!!! hehe.......... Anyway, my kids seem to be going into good hands...I just hope that they don't scare her off immediately on the first day...but I know and believe that they will cope just fine, and in fact, probably do better than if I were to continue.....
Oh well.....gonna go for our getaway already............more posts when I return!!!
