today is a very 'happening' day.

i went to school feeling very frustated cos i felt sick and tired of ppl in the house nagging at me to have my breakfast. every morning is a rush for me. i hardly have time to sit and eat breakfast. nevertheless, i would still pack food to eat in school. so, no issue for me. but but but, my parents insistsssssssssssss on me SITTING down and EAT it there and then. i would love to do so, but most of the time i just need to get to school asap to settle some morning routine! hence, i am said to have poor time management! gimme a break please! try be in my shoes and see if its all that easy. seriously, things are a lot easier said than done.

anyways, i had a very emotional conversation with one student just now. he's going through a difficult time which i have experienced before. thus, when i was listening to him, the past just came back to me and i was overwhelmed with sadness. i ended up tearing as i shared with him my similar experience and how i dealt with it.. eventually he teared too. i hope he could see it through my tears that i am one person who can really understand how he is feeling and i'd always be there for a helping hand. this morning also made me realise how much others can make you reflect on life and how we sometimes forget experiences that has taught us a great deal.

later on in the afternoon, my 4J chem students made my day. i had a late aft lesson with them and it was the fourth lesson back to back for me. was so worn out and thirsty and hungry! they asked me if i had eaten or drank anything.. so i gave them a frank no. few mins later i made them do some worksheet while i go back to the staff room to get the periodic table for them. when i came back, one boy was not in class.. apparently he went to the toilet.. so, fine. i didnt suspect anything. a few mins later he came up with egg sandwiches and green tea! i scolded him saying "oh so now toilet sells bread and drinks huh?" and he replied "cher.. its for you lahhh"

and oh man... was i embarassed!! but very touched too!!! thanks for the concern guys... i appreciate it a lot lot lot. giggles. such a sweet and thoughtful gesture!!

a simple act can make a world of difference.
