Dear Diary

Broga

These few days I wasn't feeling emotionally well. Firstly it was the weather creating chaos, secondly it's one of those woman mood swings which are inevitable.

After UPSR I was assigned for assisting in the camp in Broga. It was pleasant actually, the food, facilities, and weather. Us teachers did little job since its all segregated, plus a few reliable guys are present. We sang K and had barbeque, and chatted nothing for hours.

Another thing was I had been long awaiting for a date with nature. The trek to the hills was an amazing experience. With purple flowers covering the steep mountains and a horizon of greens.

However kids nowadays are totally horny. That Saturday night, 4 boys sneaked into girls dormitory and messed with their bras, and also a case of snapping pics from the dorm window.

When I returned to school, a colleague was trying to move her car in front, instead she put R and rammed into a zink storehouse. It sounded like her car deflatted, but when inspected, not even a kemek. Apparently Saga old version are hard.

When I drove home, it rained really heavy in Port Klang. My car was rocking left to right when pelted by the storm. So I stopped by at JJ to claim the last of my gym visit pass to get a 149 rebate. Yet turns out I'm short of one but I submitted the form anyway.

UPSR

I have been busy with UPSR and the internet line was down for continuously two days.

Today's the first day of UPSR. A few things happened and I'm a bit burnt out to write in complete sentences.

1. The GPK shouted my name across the court in front of 7 teachers and UPSR students because they could not find me, I was in the classroom doing some urgent matters. You know how embarrassingly that was? Priceless.

2. The Jasin warned me off when I was at the classroom door waiting to hand an important file to my ketua. He told me the whole story, nagged me on and on. Then later I saw him nagged the GPK. lol

3. One of the kids forgot that her code number has been changed and had me prancing around all day trying to solve her case. But solved at last.

4. The school admin board asked us for a meeting regarding the carnival coming soon. But everything wasn't in a ready state and we left without getting informed about anything. 2 hours of wastage. Seriously retarded.

5. The funny gb decided to put us in detention till 2pm and said there will be surveillance camera taking down our every move. My ass.

6. I squeezed a fat kid's shoulder while he was busy playing in the line. The 130 silenced.

Plus I had a great time in the center. I was giving mandarin and maths exercises to the UPSR students. Later we watched a show with the screaming kids.

Malaysia Day

Today is Malaysia Day and its the first ever time in history we are holidaying for the sake of it. Suddenly I felt threatened by the existence of the date. My Merdeka Day memories are at the brink of being rewritten and the pride of Merdeka girl is at stake.

Yesterday I finished buying necessary equipments for the Science project, and also photostating worksheets for the kids, and also paying the credit card debt. The dancing group progress is slow, since UPSR is happening next week the kids have little or no mood to train. I on the other hand is worried about their costumes.

Anyway I ran away from home temporarily. After everything I got home, bathed groomed packed and went to Baby's place for a stay over. We had Chapathi for dinner, and I'd say that was the finest curry I've ever had. At night we went for a Mamak with his friends, then having a good night sleep at early 11pm.

The next day I woke up at 11 (shamelessly) only to find all the family members have awaken and had sweet potatos for breakfast. Lunch was porridge with Gingko. Then in the scorching hot afternoon we went to Klang to buy a Fitover shades, which is so cool its love at first sight. Then it was a stroll at JJ Bukit Raja, asam laksa at eng ann, and back home for a snooze.

After dinner Baby's mom prompted us to visit some cute puppies at the neighbours. I saw 6 puppies which are absolutely adorable, scurrying around yelping joyfully at strangers, one I even held in the arms, OMG so fluffy and warm. Gosh I wished I had time and energy to rare one.

Later we had a second helping at a malay neighbour's house, eating tomato rice, curry chicken and prawns. It was the first time I felt wholesome as a Malaysian citizen. A great lesson for me to start being less discrminating and afraid of other cultures.

Around 9pm I head home for tomorrow's battle. I will be facing a Pencerapan with GPK at second period, a meeting with Guru Pengawas from other schools, and a period with kids bringing their fishes, and lastly standard 5 BM at center. Fingers crossed I'll nab it all good.

So much rage

Bullshit.
This is just bullshit.
Bullshit.
This is just plain bullshit.
So much rage.

I remembered sleeping through the weekend and going out only on Sunday, towards LCCT to fetch bro and Karyeen. Before that I ran errands with Gne.

I wonder where did all my friends left.

Something shitty happened making me very angry, but I've learned to control it, thanks to class management.

I have this big lump in the throat that I wish I could throw into the sea and forget about it. But even Fitness First Bodycombat could not vent it.

I haven't done a thing today and I'm loving it

Woke up at 11am. Drank coffee, went on and offline, take out the trash, ate. Follow up How I Met Your Mother on PPS and watched She's Out Of My League.

I'm super laid back today and I'm so loving it. After all it IS my only real holiday (which is you-don't-have-to-force-yourself-to-do-anything-day) after 4 months of labor.

This is awesomeness!!

Aching

Painstakingly I woke up from a good night's sleep. My body was aching all over because of last night's body combat. I'm loving it.

I remember yesterday working on hours of newspaper cutting and mache-ing. Then I sent Aunt Yok Keng back to Esso beside JJ. The next thing I knew I was kicking and boxing in the studio till my pants fell down. Just kidding.

Today I went to school for last day tuition for the holis. Then I went to sis' office to pick up Dooodolls. Sis was all alone, and there was a storm raging in Damansara. So I hung out till the storm resided, and drove sleepily home.

After reaching I slept a full 3 hours waking up in shock. Nowadays it happens, my eyes closed and the next thing I know its morning.

I'm loving it

Waking up in the morning and felt awesome for no reason. Mom's going for her therapy today, as seeing her with some hope of healing, I'm somehow eager to face the day.

Class was normal, just right after tuition I dropped by the stationary shop to get some bunchos and brushes for the afternoon handicraft class. But when I reach, the atmosphere was unusually uptight. The kids were all watching Mr. Bean, quietly.

The following activity was my slot- pop-up greeting card. I provided manila cards and color paper for them to cut and paste. In a blink 2 hours passed, and the outcome were a quality bunch.

The jam was very long though. I was stuck from USJ traffic lights (45 minutes) to KESAS highway (another 25 minutes) making the short distance triple folded.

Night was great because I went for another Jeremy's class. :) Looking forward for tomorrow's MuayThai.

Popo

Since yesterday morning I was energetic because the holiday mood has finally caught up with me. Wee! Although I still have to be at tuition in school, I no longer have to worry about the dress code and less pupils to teach means less pressure.

However there is an unforgettable thing that happened to me when I was about to go for year6 tuition. The kids heard me coming, so one of them shouted loudly "大嘴巴来了！". I gave them a good scolding and finally one of them apologized. I was relieved I didn't smack someone or threw a kid out of the balcony at that moment.

After 4 sessions of tuition class I went straight to jj for my monthly facial appointment. This time the girl in charge has a better attitude towards me, since I'm her client, and gave me a free eyebrow shaping as well. I also went for a shopping spree, adding a pair of heels and 3 t-shirts for RM50. Yea I know I'm little spendthrift but sometimes shopping works wonders.

Weekends has always been great, as I fully appreciate Baby's companionship. He swung by on Saturday evening and we went to have dinner at Eng Ann with his family, celebrating the sister's birthday. At night we had a strawberry cheesecake, laughter and a series of good-willed jesting. We watched Prince of Persia while downing the last bit of Absolut Mango.

The next day we went to Baby's Popo's house for lunch. Popo is 10 years elder than my dad. She cooked a good meal and the family reunion was something I seldom see in my own, and I enjoyed the blissful scenery. Later we went back to Baby's house to have a delightful tea dessert, sweet potatos, homemade paos, coffee and cheese cakes.

But strangely after coffee I still slept like a log for 2 hours. Soon I got back to pack for tomorrow's handicraft project at mom's center. Mom has started to nag since yesterday since she's attending her radioactive therapy tomorrow and not able to show up for the holidays.

I also personally felt guilty for not able to be at the center earlier because of last minute calls of tuition at school. Mom must be thinking I'm just after the money rather than fulfilling an obligation. Fine, I told her, deduct my bloody wage.

New Boiling Point

I feel like a fire-roaring dragon mowing on top of the tame children. Morning came unfailingly, my nargon filled with high pressured gas unable to channel itself out.

I gave my class a lot of holiday homework and let the KH students rare and rate fish! The class was quite cooperative. They brought fish of all kinds and followed every instruction obediently.

Then there's a meeting about 9.25 camp at Broga, Semenyih. Once a fav sport of mine, now I partially shun these kind of activities.

Later I went to take the photostats from a store which costs around 70 bucks. There are tuition in the holidays too. I'm feeling really stressed out. GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I wasn't in any mood of doing anything so I'll call it a day early tonight.

Nasty

There had been a series of fortunate events since I last left here. First I burnt midnight oil for the Perlantikan Interview last minute study, then drove behind my cousin's car all the way to Putrajaya at 6am, met Lai Yee and Ajim there, was the few first to arrive, but was the last to come out. The questions were easy so I couldn't stop elaborating, till she urged me to stop.

All I'd talk about was the Indian kids, divorced parents, poor family backgrounds, interesting classes and FPK... All that was crammed in my small soul has suddenly decided to outpour to a stranger, a motherly stranger that is, name is Pn Margaret Ho. I picked McD for celebration lunch meal, but after having it, I decided not to ever take fast food again. I was lost at USJ 22 but eventually found my way to the center.

The next day Baby and I went up the hill, Cameron that is to have a 3 days 2 nights off. We took an easy 2.5 hours to reach Brinchang, it was about 2pm when we checked into Tudor's hotel. It is a colorful, cozy and cheap stay in the middle of the hustle bustle town. We went to have a peek at De Olde Smokehouse where prices are skyhigh.


We explored the Brinchang Boh tea factory, and went further up into the highest peak of Brinchang, which is 2000 ft above sea level. Then we took the road less taken up to the forbidden telekom towers which is quite visible from far below.

Next it's Raju's Hill farm where we had a nice wine glass of Strawberry choc Sundae and went to Ee feng Fu bee farm.

Strolled in Sam Poh Tong temple and then to Tanah Rata to have tea a scones at Cameronian Inn. I love the ambience particularly because it feels warm and homely, price isn't that high too.



At night we had a scrumtious feast at Pasar malam eventhough it was drizzling and wet. I could still reaccount, Asam Laksa, char kuey teow, deep fried golden lily flowers with flour, golden mushroom, watercress, and last but not least, the ice cream, STOUT and WHISKEY as dessert. We watched how the Malaysian team won China team in the semis.

It was a lovely trip. I couldn't help but wish it would all last longer. Unfortunately Monday came as the school assembly was full of red hats and patriotic badges. Merdeka celebration this year is earthshakingly (for me) different from passed years.

On Merdeka day itself, Baby came with me to my good friend's wedding luncheon and had a big meal at Sam You, Seri Kembangan. I had a tough time mingling in, but thanks to Baby, I had quite a great time.

Later I hang out at baby's place and had a nice, quiet dinner with his parents. His mom baked Vanilla cake and it is very delicious. We then went to Aeon for a walk, and we bought Starbucks promotion Hibiscus and Lemon Green tea shake. All we could taste was lemon actually. Before driving me home, we had some tasty Laksa and Kuey Teow soup at Pandamaran as supper.

And then another good holiday passed. Our PK1's daughter is here for observation AKA PBS, and he assigned her to me, so I let her sit behind the class (same like what I did in the past) and do my thing. I did a load full of things, mostly making my life easier. One of the things I felt overtly relieved was typing and printing out the meeting minute and memo for my school, photocopying quality hand books and handing daddy this month's household fees while still topping up my tng. The government is also big-hearted enough to award us with bonus RM500 today. Wee!

At night I went for Gym and so now I am feeling slightly healthier after all those guilty indulging. >.<
Anyways a candid pic. Thanks for viewing!
