After three months++ of waking up as early as 0530 in the morning and dragging my feet around the school compound just to kill some ‘free’ time, my teaching practicum is over. I repeat, OVER. So, yes, of course I am happy. I am so damningly damn happy that it’s finally over. But one thing for sure, I’m going to miss my not-so-little students. I’m just glad that I was destined to teach them as they are such lovely kids. Really. Like seriously! No bluffing and exaggerating intended here!
I mean, all this while, I have this scary imagination of how vocational students would behave. In fact, I did have nightmares when I first knew that I was assigned to do my practicum in the vocational school. My friends were not helping, even the ones who are from this type of school. They claimed that these students could be a bit ‘wild’ and naughty and would cause a lot of problems. But after 3 months++ of teaching and being a part of TEKSHA, I learned that neither of that are true. They may be a bit naughty (well, sometimes this ‘a bit’ could size up to ‘a lot’) but it’s in a cute way. OK, you may be LOLing as you read this remark but I am telling you the truth. They are so adorable that they managed to make me laugh even when I was so mad. Alrite, maybe the word ‘adorable’ is not suitable to describe them as they don’t look that ‘adorable’ but they do behave ‘adorably’! (Can you count how many adorable(s) I’ve been using in just ONE sentence?!).
I was assigned to teach 2 classes; 5 AMB 3 and 4 PK 1. All in all, I have about 51 students who are so eager to learn. Hence, I would like to apologize to my students here if I failed to meet your expectations. I have tried my best but there were times when I was either sick, or simply not in the mood which resulted to super duper boring lessons. I know I should never ever let my personal issues blinded me and got me distracted, but I am only a human. The more I try, the more I found it hard to resist. So, again, I am so sorry my dear students if I disappoint you in any way. But believe me, you have made me proud. You have cheered me up and I am glad to have you around. You have made me feel special for having a chance to be with you, even for merely a short period. Thank you very much for the wonderful lessons that you have taught me. I believe I have changed in many ways. I am more patient and I can see things from different perspectives now. My horizons have been widened by all of you.
So, what’s next? I always dream to become a working-from-home mom. Well, that is IF I finally found my long-lost prince charming and get married. Until then, teaching would do. Bring it on. I’m still fired up.

Sleeping Beauty
The drawback of sleeping early is the tendency to wake up early. Like what I am doing right now. I slept at 11 last night, quite an achievement to be honest because I can’t recall when was the last time I managed to get blank out so early.
And now, at 4.51 am, instead of dreaming and dreaming, I am too wide awake. I can’t go back to sleep. I just had my 5-hour sleep and now I’m too pumped up. Daaayyuummm!! It is too early to go out for a jog but if I take a chance and head off to bed, I bet I will miss my morning jogging session and I can’t afford that!!
I just had my breakfast. Two slices of bread stuffed with Nutella. Oh, how yummeh is that? Hee~
OK, let’s just stop nonsensing and let’s get random!

think u got it rite? think again!
here are the words that the women love to say
(1) Fine:
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes:
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing:
This is the calm before the storm. This means something,and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead:
This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh:
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay:
This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks:
A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' ... that will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever:
Is a women's way of saying F**** YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it:
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.
