Great... started working as a relief teachers for 4 days and it is just "fun" with an exclamation "!". Initially i thought it will be kind of weird to be working with the full time teachers in the office, but it is not. Also, i m not the only one there, there are abt 8 relief teachers with 6 teaching arts and GP subjects. Ya... so my working environment is kind of flooded with english all the way. Thanks god, i got lots of RJ friends in army around me, at least they let me accustomed to this kind of english env, and yes, those RJ english is ridiculously powerful -some are literally walking dictionary.
Nothing much to do there. Need to be there for at least 5.5 hours daily, while my longest teaching hours in one day is 3 hours and shortest, is no lesson at all. lol.... so need think of stuffs to do in staff room. The more interesting part is teaching the students. All in all, i would say so far so good. The "fun" factor is there.
What is holding me back? - A dumb promise i made, or my incompetence?
I think is my incompetence. I seriously cant make it...

Happy new year pull your ear!
Looking back at the last entry posted, i had not update my blog for 2 months. Seems that my life get more busier after ORD. Let's see, from november till now, what had happened.
1. Bought new furniture and gave my room a new outlook. Quite proud of this!
2. Successfully became a member of mensa.
3. Organised Christmas and new year events. Painful process, entertaining result
4. That's all i think.
Yea, then subsequently met up with one of my JC friend whom i had not seen for 2 yrs plus but still remain in contact via msn. The topic we discussed was, wad do we want to achieve in the next 5 yrs. 5 yrs is quite a long period of time, and my goal was to my the time as short as possible when i m inside the 5 yrs period. In this 5 years, no doubt most people will be in uni studying for this whole period. Other than academic achievement, what more can we achieve? This is the question i pose to myself. Ok, back to this friend of mine, he got a well laid out plan to make entrance to the stock market and earn a large some of money to start a business. The interesting part about his plan is he take into account failure. Imagine this, who will actually put failure in their future plan, like, i may retain for 1 yr, or i might get expelled from school. Back to me, i dun have any grand plans to become a millionaire or lawyer or doctor etc. But i know i have many small plans that is going to add up to become a great significant plan. I wil keep the plan to myself for the time being first. Then to conclude, we will meet up again 5 years later to talk about wad we had achieved for the past 5 yrs and our plan for the next 5 yrs. Really enjoy this kind of conversation which really shed alot of insights to me.
Next up, organised a trekking trip for my buddies, and met up for dinner at changi village and supper at prinsep st area on last sunday. lol... All the food is i introduced one, especially the food at changi village. Despite being away from there for 2 months alr, i still kind of miss the food there. And yes, the rochor "dou hua"- my camp buddy and i always had this after our night pool session. Initially kian, kiat and kong were very very reluctant to go because of the distance and time factor. Thankfully kong managed to get a car and drove us there. But really, sometimes life should not be bound up by all these factors. lol, sometimes its ok to do some stupid stuff once in a while. Who knows, you may discover something new along the way.
ok... end off here. Wish everybody a good year ahead and of course, happy chasing dream.
