Yes, I'm still sad, and I still grieve her absence, but, i'm also moving on to a whole new life, so, I shall stop thinking sad thoughts, and treasure my life.
I guess it was inevitable that I feel this way, but grieving only makes the process harder to overcome, so....why not smile and be happy? =)
Many things have happened in the last 2 weeks or so, and I haven't blogged about them yet...so here goes.....
Had my orientation in school over the duration of these two weeks....was quite fun actually, to really let my hair down...i mean, it's so rare that I'm a participant and not the organiser in things like that...if u know what I mean..... realised that there are different programs even within the diploma in general education program, and that i belong to what is termed the Option A program. Apparently, people in this program get to specialise in 2 subjects, but as a result, they have to study Further topics in these two as well, to make up for curriculum time. Upon graduation, we would also be teaching Upper Primary. I had been assigned English and Science to specialise in, but decided to change to Math and Science as I think it would be more useful in future.....but of course, the change is not confirmed yet.....
Went stationery shopping in preparation for the start of school next week...and...it's just so fun to be a student once more. haha..... the glee that comes about with buying new pens, and notebooks....you can only feel it when you're a student...... =)
Anywayz, had watched The Simpsons' Movie on Sunday. A real good show that's just meant for laughs...i think that anyone who is not feeling happy or is really upset should just watch the show to cheer themselves up..... no-brainer, yet relatively witty in a satirical form........ enjoyed myself pretty much.........the only dimmer of the day came from our meal at Surf & Turf....Don't know why we even bothered to eat there and waste almost $24 per person. It's insane I tell you.......the food was really really really bad...... don't even bother trying....
We'd celebrated Angela's birthday, no doubt a belated one (sorry, my dear) on the day of Mama's passing. We gave her a surprise actually...hehe.....i don't think she expected us to celebrate, especially since I had just experienced such a great loss...but we thought different, for I really needed to get my mind off it, and well, it's her birthday after all. So anyway, she'd thought that we were just meeting up for dinner... =) Darling and me rushed to Suntec's Fish and Co. and told the service staff of our plans, then we rushed to look for a cake for Angela. I can't help but commend the wonderful service that we received from both places that evening. The staff at Fish and Co were extremely helpful and pleasant, and constantly attending to our needs despite having an almost full house. The person who served us at Swensen's thanked us profusely for having bought a cake from them even though he didn't need to. I was amazed and taken aback at the level of service standard that we had received that day. It was really nice. =)
anyway, I had also completed my teaching stint at OEPS, and it was really sweet of my P4s to get presents for me....almost all the girls got something for me. Considering that I had only taught them for 4 weeks, it was a really pleasant surprise and really really nice....=) I guess it's things like that that help to make your job so worthwhile......... to know that your students appreciate you.........
oh well...me gonna take a nap for now...gonna go out with Paul and Angela (my "brother" & "sis-in-law from Australia) later, bring them around town.....maybe pop over to Canele to pay for my wedding cake. Had cooked chicken rice for them yesterday and they loved it.....thinking of conjuring up some of my other dishes for them too..... and for Daddy as well... =)
