2711, the 4 numbers which i would not forget, neither does hubby. Yest, i just mentioned to him that wow time flies, it's 27th.. n he said, ya 2711...
Known each other in CSS, when i was 15... so this is the 15th year we knew each other.. started courtship in 2003 after being friends for around 6years. We got married in 2007, 4th year of courtship... n now is 2012, we r stepping into our 5th year of marriage, n today marks the 9th year we r together. But ever since we got married in 2007, we dun celebrate 2711 animore.. only wedding anniversary... Luckily was, our ROM n customary were on the same day, thus no need to remember so many dates, seemed troublesome.. haha..
How did i get to know this introvert man who seldom mix around with any kind of people? So low profile in school... I got to know his buddies 1st. My ex-bf was in his group of buddies...
We had always been good friends for that few years, it was only til he entered NS then we became closer. He would call me everyday to chat, n whenever he book out, he would ask me for dinner.
It's not easy to maintain a relationship. We always had disagreements of course, if no quarrels that is not a couple animore, isn't it? The most impt decision was to be with him forever. Tat decision is not easy at all. n nothing matters more than loving each other n maintaining the relationship.
To many people, no bread no love. To me, love very impt. I admit bread is ultimate impt choice. No $$ no talk. no happiness when u have no $. How many women actually put bread 1st b4 committing into love? B frank. I must b mad i assume. Love is more impt. We did argue many times in regard to monetary. But til now, we are still intact isn't it?
We are not saints. No 1 is perfect. We accepted each other's strengths n weaknesses, tats wat made us today. from courtship, to marriage, to parenthood. We r not rich, we are not tat well to do, but we r still surviving. I cannot say i am happy, coz there will b times that i was devastated, sad to the max. Neither will i say i am not enjoying happiness from this man whom i had chosen, coz there r indeed times tat we r very happy n sweet. I chose this marriage, i bear watever it is.
I asked hubby, we will still have many years to go together as a couple right? He said yes. I cannot guarantee what will happen many years down the road. But i will try my best to maintain. 9 years being together, it is indeed not easy. I want to countdown somemore. I will try my best, n i know he will too. Happy 9th anniversary my dearest hubby..
This is my 2nd wedding for the month, n should be the last wedding to attend for the year.
Zhiyong, my PHPPS colleague. He was my junior, though he is older than me.. Haha.. we r both the same core n co-core department colleagues.
He used to be in the same session as i did, n we always eat lunch together. It was til an extend that parents from the school thought we were a married couple.
He is a very kind person. I am so glad for him that he managed to find his partner, whom is also a devoted christian. They held their solemnisation yesterday at the church. Many of the colleagues attended his wedding, n our 3 bosses attended too.
As Zhiyong is a m'sian, they will b going back to msia to hold the banquet.
Seeing those colleagues/friends who r single, managed to find the other half, it makes my day happier to see them entering marriage. It is not the tomb of love, it is the start of a new life.
I give my blessings to this couple, n hope they have a blissful marriage ahead. Congrats, Zhiyong!
When there r people who celebrates life, on e other side there'll b people who mourn over death.
Attended R's wake this morn with my colleagues. When we reached th place, it's not prepared yet... When R was finally placed in e coffin, we went to 'visit' him. He is sleeping peacefully. We cried, it's just so sad.
This is our last visit to R, n see him for his last journey. I really salute his mum. Though cannot hide the sadness n devastation, but she remained strong. She is indeed strong. If i am her, i would not be able to take it, n i am sure i will go crazy n collapse.
It made me recall when Jaden was hospitalised when he was 1.5months old, needed operation. I was already in agony. Seeing her hanging on to keep R alive, i really salute her.
Life is just so fragile. Why would fate play such a trick on a little young man. I just couldn't help but to whine. I'm sure no 1 likes to see such situation. birth, age, sick, death. It's a cycle. But R skipped 1 of it. On e other hand, we should see it as a relief for R, as well as for his family and all people who r concerned about him. Am i right? By moving on, he moves on n his family can too. Death is not the worst, the worst is the living. Seeing him out from misery n pain, is a relief. He is away from tubes, needles, medications, machines etc. God is taking care of him, and i am sure he will find a better route in Heaven. R is a good n sensible boy. I know he will be happier now. He will pray for the better for his family. We will all miss him and it's our glory to have him in our school, being our pupil.
It will b a mixed feeling. Every year when we celebrate Jaden's birthday, I will need to pray for R as it will be his death anniversary too. May u rest in peace, R. You will be remembered.
Jaden was born in 2008, November 21.. Same bday as my cousin Arena... =)
As this week is the staff development week, so i need to work, 0800-1700hr...
In the morn, received a piece of bad news from my colleague that 1 of my ex-pupil R, who has leaukamia, had relapse n was in ICU... doctor said he may not be able to survive. His parents hoped that his p1p2 teachers can come down n see him for his last journey. His form teachers went down to visit him yest. I taught him when he was in p2. I was shocked to hear it. He was sick since young thus needed to wear a mask everyday to school, to prevent infection. But when he was in P2, his condition improved that he could actually remove the mask n b just like other pupils in the school.
He was a sensible boy who will study hard. I find it a pity that he is not healthy. We were planning to go down to KK tmr, but i suddenly thought, y not ask boss to c if we can go today just for 1-2hr, taking time-off, n will b back b4 lunch. Luckily, boss agreed. me together with 3 other colleagues who taught him b4, quickly got our bags, n i drove them there.
R's condition wasn't optimistic. He was v bloated n had tubes all over him, n of course machines. He was sub-conscious. He though cannot react, but he could hear us, n i knew he recognised out voices. Whenever any of the teachers talked to him, he would have 'reaction', i touched him n encouraged him to b brave n i am so proud to have him as my pupil. We all cried. It's just so heart breaking. Why life must b so hard on him? He is just a boy.
After visiting R, we went back sch for meeting. Finally, worked til it's time to knock off. I quickly reorganised my emotions n was looking forward to buy a bday cake for my precious Jaden. Both boys were napping when I was on the way back. Met hubby n go eat dinner 1st. Then went to prima deli to buy cake.
Jaden likes candles n cake, but not to eat the cake. We sung him bday song, in laws gave him a red packet, n so did my mum, she gave it to me yesterday when i met her for dinner. Xiaolin n Kelly bought him a present! Thank u for remembering Jaden's bday. He is everyone's gem. I told myself, everytime when i find myself pathetic, i will look ard, there r so many ppl who r worse, i am actually luckier in a sense. At least my Jaden is healthy. I always look forward to see Jaden smiling, laughing loud as usual, learning good things etc. I come to realise that i am indeed luckier. I dun have a well behaved child like others, i dun have a smarter child who speaks n expresses well like others, but at least my child is fit n active. i am not the worst.
Jaden is fortunate to have many ppl adoring him, spoiling him, loving him, protecting him. I dun dare to ask for anything more, but good health to surround him always, happiness n laughter to be with him always. No matter what, u r always the gem in our heart.
Besides wishing my precious son a happy 4th bday, i would also pray for R's smooth departure. R, though u had left us n your family, but i believe u will b in God's good hands. I am so proud to have taught u b4 while u were alive.
Luckily we did not plan anything today, bcoz it is raining so heavily now, with loud thunderstorm...
Yest was the last day of Jaden's school days. He will start his holidays, n will resume school next Jan...
It is so great to nap at such a weather, no need to on the air con, just fan will do, lying down on the bed n rest. mayb dun sleep oso can lah, but R&R is good enuff..
It is even better, or i should say best, to rest at this very moment, bcoz.... Both Jaden & Javier had started their naps! Yipppeee.. Finally managed to make Jaden sleep. He was busy talking n i can see that he is tired, but refused to go nap. Until a point, he hug the big bolster, n held my hand to hug him, i koe he can sleep soon, n indeed ard 5min, no sounds from him again. He has napped.
Javier is very wilful, refused to nap too. Hubby had a hard time coaxing him. He napped 1st b4 Jaden. So, what am i waiting for? I wana rest beside Jaden now. I may not want to sleep, coz i most prob may end up having a headache after that. R&R is good.. not doing anything but to lie on bed is a good form of resting too.
Hope every1 has a cool n restful weekend! Looking forward to attend Kavitha's wedding tmorrow!
this week is the last week b4 pupils go for their holidays, which also means it's e end of their academic year.
though e kids will start their holidays from this friday onwards, but it's not for us. we still need to come back next week, for the whole 5 days... 0830-1700HR..
2012 passes just like that, n i do look forward to my break..
i foresee 2013 will b as busy, or even busier, but i do not wish to think of it yet. i have better things to do. haha.
Finally, this is the day... This is the day tat we are all looking forward to... P1 Drama Fest...
1 of my proj on hand.. Well, it was finally over today... But still has report n follow up to do..
Our P1 kids are all so excited over this... they had to reach e school by 1230hr, for rehearsal, then go n dress up n get ready for the performance at 1530hr..
Somehow, i felt the sound system not as great as during the P2 time... But it has nothing got to do with me... the prob lied with the system vendor.. my AV system here ok..
My P1 class is the 1st class, n i was still worried abt their performance, bcoz they r not tat well prepared.. But luckily, they did a great job during the last lesson, n for the past 2 informal rehearsals..
Today, they did well n all of them looked happy n satisfied. So am I... Naf n I were happy to have them this year. Though there were times that they made us mad, but they r still v adorable. We even took a group photo together b4 i had to leave them for my duty.
All kids did their best for today's performance. It was a tiring day for us of course...
Nothing big happened during the performance, though there were little hiccups, but did not spoil the whole mood of everyone. Praise to the Lord.
It wasn't easy for them to put up a show like this, just based on 8 lessons. We are all v proud of the kids. No 1 is perfect, n as long as they put in their best effort, i would applaud! My P1 class this year made me happy most of the time. Thank you for giving me them this year, it made my days pleasant. I may b v strict n fierce towards them, but all i hope is, they understand my point. I want them to be good.
Every1 is tired today, esp is towards e end of the term, extremely busy.. after this event, we will b busy with other stuff, 3 more weeks to go... I hope such event will be memorable to them when they grow older, and hope they enjoyed the moment today! Well done my kids!
