haven't had time nor inspiration to sit down and write anything, coz my mind is filled up with endless amount of things. have been very very tired lately, pulling myself out of bed each morning coz i've to go to work.....and do housework prior to that........
the whole first half of this week has been taken up with Legion stuff...and the rest of ALL my weekends in July are already filled with Legion stuff yet again. It's madness..... I feel like i'm driving myself nuts...and we haven't even started planning for JXY yet....by that time....sighz.....i think every single weekend until the camp is over will be packed....so many things to consider...it seems like the officers aren't meeting up enough coz there's so much to discuss, decide and plan!!! *pulls hair*
it doesn't help that so much is expected from work either.......yet, I must say that I'm having lots of fun with the girls. Interacting with them on a daily basis is really really great......bumped into Rachel's sister twice already......the girls are really interesting, and am enjoying each day with them......am starting to co-teach next week though..so it's gonna be kinda scary, especially the fear that I'm not doing well enough!
spent like 2 hours listening to Darling's grandma today...and she shared so so so much....I'm like her only listening ear, so once she starts talking to me, it usually lasts for like forever......... she shared stories of the past, showed me all her sarong kebayas and accessories......showed me all the old coins she kept from last time......and they're REALLY old....dating as far back as 1927!!! can u imagine that?? it's insane la......planning to give them a good shine, use during history/social studies lessons, and sell some........ it's from the time when we were still part of the Straits Settlements! History buffs, u know how long ago that is!!! She also shared old wives' tales of how silver is good to help reduce wind.......and etc..... much as i appreciate them, I kinda fear that she's telling me all these so that if anything happens to her, i'll know where to find these things, and what to do with them............ sighz....i'm far closer to her than to any of my own grandmothers......it's quite weird...but i guess this is what you call fate........ =)
hmmm.......tomorrow's a full day of housework and schoolwork.....after which, i'll have to prep for legion stuff again......
