2011- The End


                                 

In few hours we will be welcoming 2012. Time really flies.  Just like the years before, 2011 has given some beautiful and some not-so-beautiful memories. Whatever it is, life has to go on and we cannot freeze the moments no matter how beautiful they are.

On professional front,  January 2011 gave me a big blow when my principal Evil Lady (EL) refused to grant  me permission to further my studies. I was so excited when I received the offer letter from UM in Dec 2010 and was preparing for an adventurous and exciting campus life when  EL stepped in and spoilt my plans. It took me awhile to accept the rejection and I guess God has better plans for me. As for her, just months after I withdrew from my programme, she went away to another school on transfer. The latest news I heard, she is having hard time at the new school as the staffs have no respect for her. I have only one thing to say …it’s KARMA (especially when you break an innocent soul’s heart  :p)

2011 marked my second year in teaching and I learned more about my colleagues this year probably because I am no longer a fresher J For someone who easily trust people, I learned a lot this year. I have learned that people have few faces and what you see is not what you get. Being a naïve person, it took me awhile to realise that some colleagues have been taking advantage on me. But anyways that is life and you will see all kind of people in life. I am lucky that I have few friends who knock some sense into me whenever someone is trying to push their workload to me. Hopefully, in 2012 I’ll know how to ‘read’ people.

2011 has been too kind to me on the personal front.  After years of struggle,  all three of us have graduated successfully.  My brother graduated in May in Melaka and that granted us the much-awaited family time. It felt good that we could spend quality time together after sooo long. Despite the fun and exhilaration, this vacation would certainly be unforgettable for me as I lost my favourite gold earring. My mum still has not forgiven me for that LMy sister graduated in November and we had another fantastic family trip to Sabah. Family trips are energy boosters. They keep you away from the mad world and pamper the kid in you J
2011 Deepavali has to be the best I ever had in years. After almost 6 years, we celebrated Deepavali together as a complete family and we had a blast. In fact we wanted to have a grand celebration to make up for the lost years.

And just when I am thinking it can’t get bigger than this, God is insisting on showering more blessing and who am I to resist? November has always been my favourite month as it is my month but now I have more reasons to cherish it. Past 3 months have been very special and if this is a preview of what 2012 holds for me, then I can’t wait for 2012 J

Thank You 2011 and Hi 2012!

Happy New Year friends!

I’m so getting this!

The Dreaded Call

If there is a call that i dread the most, it has to be from my school. I have been working for 2 years and everytime 'school' appears on my phone screen my heart thumps ( no exaggeration..seriously). It is most probably because i associate 'school' with more work. Everytime i receive call from school, either i'll have to dig out an old students record which God-Only -Knows or collect school fee from some really stubborn students. And most of the times, i purposely avoid answering these calls. Then, after 30 minutes i go to office and enquire regarding the call. It's not the task that i avoid but the call. Don't ask me why.

But one can't be lucky all the time. Yesterday my phone screen was blinking and i answered the call despite knowing it's from school. I was expecting them to tell me not to come back early to school due to the flood. BUT...it seems the meeting has been rescheduled and i have to report to school on 27th Dec. I was tongue-tied that i could not say anything! So now i have to cut short my holiday which i don't mind at all. But the real problem is spending 6 days at Rompin doing nothing. Now that's difficult   torture.
