It's the feeling...

You know how I used to think it is silly for people to be so crazy over those Korean soap drama, Taiwan idol drama serials and so on? Now I think I had become one of the victim and ought to be shot in my head. Haha. Just completed the whole of Heroes season 1. Man this show is addictive and thrilling, a must watch for all! And the craze of 黄金路 has got into everyone, even the least expected to watch Chinese drama Rodney Tan Ah Chek is chasing after every episode of it on Youtube too. I think everyone is talking about it in between chats and meals too! LOL! Finally a good local production.

Anyway, I went back to RV yesterday. It was the 52nd anniversary and I need to go over to GCW for discussion so I might have use this chance to visit the teachers and others at my alma mater. Wow, Ms Mak and Ms Ho, teachers in Rv. Haha I can see that they are doing their job well, enjoying it. Good for them to serve back to the school. And the other teachers, I'm so happy to see them, and I hope it was vice versa too. Heh.

Mrs Look health look better, though I know she still have a heavy workload for her. 陈老师 is now a married man and a father to a daughter. So happy for him, he's a good teacher, a good man. Ms Ek still as cheerful whenever she sees me (after I graduate that is..). Haha she even hope that I may serve back to the school one day, and having coffee/tea together. 黄老师 is still doing good, and she still calls me with my surname. Mr Desmond Lim and Ms Serene Teo still working closely with each other, having a humorous and interesting chats together with them. Ms Cheang now is Mrs Koo I supposed. A beautiful wife, not yet a mum. Haha. Mrs Lee Lee Mui, still being as strict as before. Mr Chow, well as usual hah. Mr Tham and Mr Teo still in the pink of health when I Ms Ek introduce me to them.

There all still other teachers which I did not get to meet, like Mrs Choy, Mdm Lim Kim Choo, 谢谢谢老师, and many more. And Ah Hua auntie!! How I miss her, but she retired as a canteen vendor again. I will miss her alot, her jokes, her care towards us, her delicious guo tie. Omg. I feel so sad. Yea I know she's getting tired, especially tired of the dirty and rude sisters selling drinks, but I hope that she will come back one day. =D

Oh well, I think I better stop here before I heart cry itself out. It sure felt good to be home yesterday. And I do hope, that I will get to go back there when the new campus is ready.

Sunday morning.

Today was quite an emotional roller coaster ride for me.

Woke up around noon at read the newspaper while waiting for my dad to fix lunch. To my surprise, someone who was a part of me just passed away on Friday. To those in RV, maybe some of you will remember a certain Geography/English teacher named Mrs Nair. Yea she passed away peacefully on Friday. She taught me Geography in my lower secondary days, and as the rebellious and mischievous us, we do poked fun and talked bad about her. But when I saw her face and name on the obituary part of the newspaper today I was shocked. Lost for word. I guess that is the difference between a childish boy thinking and a matured man thinking. Really really feel sad for her. When she left the education industry due to some personal/health problem, none of us really seems to care, but I guess none of us expect this to happen so soon, within a short period of 3 years. I can still remember vividly how she always talk about dreaming of a retirement life living by the sea side and enjoy the beautiful scenery and sea breeze every morning when she wakes up.

I don't know why but looking back really almost brought me to tears. I suppose this is what they call humanity, and at least I still have it. Even though I'm not a Christian, but I do believe that she had left peacefully into God's will, and that she'll find greater joy somewhere else, somewhere far far away.

This reminisce feeling seems to be lingering around me lately. Maybe I should go back to RV on wed for the anniversary. Since the it's lecture day and I am not really interested in going. Any takers to accompany back on wed??

*break....*

Alright now for the happier part. Today was the bazaar sale. Went down to support my classmates and friends. Became a freelance promoter who has a self-built loudspeaker within my body. Haha. Was just shouting whatever gimmick that I could think of, that all the people around me feels that I have a potential to be a durian seller. All thanks to my experience being a butcher and a vegetable seller. Hope everyone had fun today, not breaking even is not the main focus. We must enjoy what we do. Well at least I know I brought some laughters and drinks to people. =D

I think I shall end here, getting tired. Shall update about other stuffs some other days. Adios!

Open your eyes.

There is only one word to describe how I am feeling now. TIRED!

Been chiong-ing HRM project for the past few days, even staying up during weekend nights to rush all the things out and finally, submitted it in the afternoon. Phew! Another load off my back. Now I'm left with ECD test on Wed, ECD project and IS project which are due next week. And of course all the other presentation which I never really do get worried about. Haha..

So I the long awaited secondary school gathering happened on Friday. I was so happy to see most of them there, as usual with the nonsense and endless teasing of each other. Though I was a bit disappointed with some who could not make it, but making the best time out of it and really catch up with each other indeed provide a breather for me from the hectic workload. Hopefully I will be able to catch up with the rest soon, and reminisce the fun we had in secondary school days.

It's going to be busy months ahead, with the upcoming events of bAs and the preparations needed, I guess I pretty much find joy in doing them even though it's tiring. Haha, the fruit of labour is pretty much sweet so I guess all the more I should return back to what I had learnt. =D

Alright I think I better get to my slumber to further worsen my small eyes. Goodnight world!
