The courage to make a difference

"I was forced to do this....... I do not have a choice." This is an excuse commonly used by many. Heard someone said this this morning. I tried not to say this sentence. In fact, I do not allow myself to have this kind of attitude or thoughts.

I believe everyone has a choice, its whether you have the COURAGE to make the decision, whether you are willing to take the risk, whether you can accept the negative outcome of your decision. Do not blame others for the plight/situation which you are in. If you can't make a difference to your life, who can?

Exercise

Yippie!!!!! Holiday is here!!! \(^0^)/ I am going to Turkey soon. But first of all, need to attend a week of meetings and courses......

I had a great time yesterday. Tried Archery and Tchouball. Fun Fun Fun. However, realised I really need to do something about my weight. Felt so heavy when I move about!! Really want to take up sports again. For the sake of my health. However, most of my close friends or colleages don't seem so keen. Think I need to look into other "sources" - eg my ex-pupils! (^-^) So if anyone of u is interested and would want to play badminton with your "old" teacher here, please contact me. Will see if we can use the school hall on Sat morning.

我真的受伤了

觉得这首歌好好听。

缅怀往事

Another one of my favourite singers - Aaron Kwok. I remembered I was only 17 when he first started out. Time really flies. I have grown and aged... but he still looks the same, even better .

Wonderful memories

Came across this song in the youtube. It was one of my favourite songs when I was still schooling. Brought back wonderful memories......

Fragmented

For some reasons, I am unable to sleep well at night. Doctors call it "fragmented sleep". I am tired and I fall asleep easily. But I would wake up in the middle of the night and would have trouble falling sound asleep again. I wish I knew what is the reason behind this. Stress? Maybe. My "Fragmented sleep pattern" only occurs during weekdays, when I need to wake up early to go to school. During the weekends, I usually do not have such problems.

Complaints......

A friend, who is teaching in an all girls'school in the north, took a few days off to study for her uni exams. She got a shock when she went back to school. Apparently, one of the parents had filed a complaint against her - why must she go on leave during this crucial week when the pupils were having their exams?

I nearly fell off my chair when I heard this. How selfish can one get? I do not think an hour of revision will make much differences to that child. Miracles do not happen overnight. Sigh......真是一种米养百种人！

Free apples at NTUC??!!

Saw a foreign Chinese woman with her young child at the NTUC supermarket today. Was appalled by what I saw. That woman picked an apple from the display and passed it to her child. Her young girl then started to eat the apple as if there is nothing wrong with that!!!! I was staring at them but that woman seemed oblivious to my stares. I wonder whether they would pay for the apple. I guess not. Oh my god! Can't stand such people. Wished I had took a picture of them!!

Simple life

Doing housework is something not many people enjoy. When I just got married, I did not enjoy doing household chores but as time passed by, I have learnt to accept that is part and parcel of marriage life and have even find some joy doing them. I love the touch of a clean floor, love to see the dust-free tables, chairs and shelves, love the perspiration that tickles down my face and back while I mop the floor. Simple things, simple joys. Seem to have therapeutic efforts on me. A simple home cooked meal with hubby - priceless. I am ready to face the challenges of tomorrow......

无奈

A few incidents happened during the past few days. However, I won't be elaborating on that. My observations and experiences in the past few days could be summed up into two phrases.

"Bullshit will get your way through" - literally "靠一张嘴吃饭"！

"Don't do the right things, just do the things right!" ......

It seems that lots of people are "practising" the above "idealogies". 悲哀。。。。。。
