This was taken somewhere towards the end of November 2006, during a family vacation to Italy. It was before my tour group boarded a ferry that would take us to Isola Bella, which means 'beautiful island'. The crisp, fresh air...the smooth caress of the ocean breeze against my cheek, playfully teasing my scarf...and best of all, the fabulous scenery. Truly a feast for the senses and sweet, sweet (temporary) relief from the world's weariness. I miss the feeling of being on vacation! Currently, there are plans to go to Japan at the end of June, but details are still fuzzy at the moment. Apparently, Mum's siblings are treating us to an all-expense paid holiday. Sadly, my Dad won't be able to go because he'll be working in Doha...sighh.
Anyway, it's been a boring Thursday. No work for the time being, 'cos the teacher whose duties I had been taking over has returned to work. I'm rather disappointed at the fact that I won't be seeing some of my students for lessons anymore, but it also feels good to be able to unload the massive burden I've been carrying around for slightly more than two weeks. I'm pretty worried for the kids though...they hate their current teacher (fyi, she IS a total cow. Really self-centered and rude. Ugh.) and that's not a good thing 'cos they don't hand in the work she assigns on purpose, which will have serious repercussions during their exams.
Loads of classroom drama for the past couple of weeks, and a fight in a sec 3 Normal Tech class closed my latest assignment in a stunning crescendo. Basically, some scrawny, pimply Ah-Beng wannabe pissed me off, then proceeded to irritate his classmate who then made it his mission to beat the crap outta that guy. To tell you the truth, I was secretly rooting for the classmate and so was the rest of the class; Ah-Beng wannabe likes to act tough and pisses people off on a daily basis. The queue of people waiting for a chance to give him a tight slap stretches from Loyang to Jurong, and there's probably an online waiting list as well.
Tuesday: public holiday. Met up with Tuan, who introduced me to this quaint little Turkish deli at Far East, called Anatolia. Good food, better conversation.Talked about lots of random things, sad stuff and happy stuff...relationships, family, love, sex, more sex. HAHA horny twit!!! Fantastic company made up for the less-than-fantastic coffee at Big O, so there was no need to go to Starbucks. ;-) Right, Tuan? RIGHT?
Tralalalala. Feel like going to sleep soon.Labels: Relief teaching, Vacation
