This and that

Its saturday morning! Usually, i enjoy my weekends very much. But of late, i have been experiencing this weird thought process that prevents me from enjoying my weekends. Here's how it goes

Friday Morning - Yeay! Its almost the weekend!!!

Friday Evening - OMG friday is almost over

Saturday Morning - Its already Saturday! The weekend is ALREADY HERE. Which means its going to be over SOON

Saturday Evening - HALF THE WEEKEND IS GONE

Sunday - Work tomorrow :(:(:(

So thats how i ruin my weekends for myself :D

School is coming along fine . Last week, i got to experience celebrating CNY in a traditional chinese school and it was a very different experience i should say. The celebrations started much earlier for us teachers, when we had to go for a mini workshop on chinese calligraphy, so that we could write properous words for good luck. According to the chinese teachers, i have a natural flaire for calligraphy :D I am not kidding! If you are fortunate enough to come visit my table in the staffroom, you'll see my masterpieces!

The concert itself was fun too. As always, the performing arts groups never failed to impress and i was very happy to see many of my students on stage. Such a talented bunch. With so much of passion and enthusiasm for their CCA. Now if only they could translate this passion and enthusiasm to English and Social Studies ;)

Since this year, Valentine's Day fell on the same day as CNY, we had a mini Valentine's Day gift exchange in class. I was happy to know that many of the students really put in alot of thought to buy something nice for their mortals. For those who did not, its still ok. For one, i don't know how the student's financial situation would be like and hence i don't want to impose anything. On the other hand, if the student just did not buy anything because he/she cannot be bothered, then there's nothing for me to say as well because i cant quite force someone to do something they don't want to do :) (Unless its homework). But overall, i enjoyed the first period with my form class. I hope they enjoyed the strawberry cheesecake i bought. Only a few students said anything about it, so i don't know if everyone enjoyed it. And 3D, you better not take my treats for granted! They'll only come on very rare occassions!
