Stronger than yesterday...

Came back a while ago from run/gym and going for karaoke later so a sudden random thought popped up in my mind (Britney Spears - "now I'm stronger than yesterday"). Sometimes even though I know it's a weekly thing, everytime it comes to getting up to work out I will dread it and want to sleep but I still drag myself to do it. But then after finishing it I'll feel a great sense of achievement. Maybe I should try telling the kids that next time if they don't feel like studying. =) Anyway, looking forward to the karaoke session later. Think it's gonna be a very hilarious sessions with Jon and LJ there. =P

Oh anyway Mon morning I was pretty irritated (to put it mildly) cos I just missed my bus, just missed my train, then prob just missed my bus again cos my waiting time was so long for each of them so in the end I had to cab down to school - $13 even from Kovan - Ouch! But then I tried to be positive - I'm transferring my money to someone who needs it more than me haha (that doesn't mean that I'm gonna start donating all my possessions though in case anyone's thinking of that) =p

Tue - long 2.5 hour of IT training that I was struggling to keep awake. Seriously I could just read a good manual and do it myself I think but well it helps to clock training hours so that's not too bad is it? =P Had lunch at Aston's at Katong (really can't stand eating in school nowadays - so boring!!!) and surprisingly some of my friends have never been to Aston's, which is a really good place for cheap western food =)

Wed - had some Chrystal workshop in the morning then some of us went to the chem lab to try out some experiments for the new SPA course. Headed down to RI(JC) in the afternoon for the sharing and both the presentations I went to were by PJC teachers and were quite interesting - I liked the lab on transition elements though the computer games one (you know those based on "Jeopardy" and "Who Wants to be a Millionaire") are perhaps not as useful but it does provide some food for thought.

Met my good friend there who I've not seen for a very long time ever since her wedding cos she transferred to RJC to teach. Missed her! Anyway, she was jokingly doing a "recruitment talk" with me, saying that they needed teachers cos now they have 3 tracks - the super strong students, the average ones (like many of our MJC kids apparently) and the very weak ones and they lacked teachers cos they have 3 different sets of notes/tutorials, meaning they have to lecture very often. But for now I'm quite happy to stay though that will probably still be my first choice should I eventually decide to leave. =)

Thu - talked to another good friend whom I've not spoken to for some time over breakfast. Talking to her about relationships cos I was telling her about who I like and she pointed out that the girls so far that I like tend to be the quiet sort, which kinda surprised me cos I feel I need someone who is more chatty since actually I tend to be quiet (though it doesn't appear to be esp when I lecture and perform), especially with people whom I don't know well so I need someone to complement me otherwise it'll be quite awkward. But anyway it was a good chat and I'll find some other time to talk to her. Miss chatting with her cos she was away on maternity leave for some time and busy with her kids.

Fri - Had a long day in school of meetings and then handed over IGC to my colleagues, finally! Now I can just focus on Council matters liao, which I enjoy doing cos there's a variety of things to do. I like variety! =)

Went to Bugis to meet my army kakis for dinner at Creations at Shaw Tower, which was just so so to me actually though my friend brought us there cos he felt it was very good. Pool was fun - won 2 out of 4, which was good enough for me considering I tend to lose more than I win haha. This has indeed been a good year for sports so far! =D

Sat - Went to Seng Kang for a quick recce (really quick, like 15 min?) for the orientation MMM cos there were some changes to the places after advising the councillors in charge on certain issues. Then came home and ended up doing not much for the rest of the day. I need to start to move up a gear or two! Perhaps that will happen once the students start to come in on Thur. Need the adrenaline rush to push myself. I dunno why I feel so tired everytime I come home from school even though nowadays I leave much earlier than last year. Keep taking afternoon naps till the evening...

Anyway, time to leave to meet them for lunch - very late liao! =P
