… and I am yawning away. Currently assigned to relief duties for this week as it is already the end of term. Got a Sec. 3 class to go to in half hour’s tome. Right then. I shall try to take a little snooze cos I am really sleepy. Crap.
P.S: I like my new space.
P.P.S: I am wearing a new pair of shoes that are currently killing my feet.
P.P.P.S: I miss the other school. Terribly. Never knew I would be saying this. Sigh.

What is a friend?
Everyone single one of us have a different answer to that. As for me, I had never really thought about it till this evening’s Sunset Mass when Father F was homily-ing on the topic of friendship when my answer came to me.
Faithful and
Responsible being
In
Every minute and every
New
Day on earth
Why did I think of this? Allow me to explain. A friend is one who is faithful and loyal to you and has trust in you. A friend is also one who dares to pick out your faults but will take the time to fix them with you. A friend is always responsible in whatever he/she says to you but not say things just to make you feel good all the time, but yes, a friend is there to encourage you. Therefore, a friend does not deceives one another and neither he/she keeps things from and push his/her other friends away. A friend is always there when you need a listening ear and/or a guiding hand.
Father F said this and I found it to be very true. “Once a beautiful plate is broken (into two parts), no matter what type of strong glue you use to fix it, it will never be the same.”
I have been feeling quite down for the past week because of a friendship problem. Whenever I see this person, my heart would ache and this sudden sadness would come over me, and I would even avoid looking at this person in the face. Noticed that I am calling this person as ‘this person’? Hah. I dare not use the term ‘friend’ on him/her. I have no idea where my status is on this ‘friendship’. If this person so wishes, I will just be an acquaintance to him/her. I have no idea what went wrong over the past weeks but I really hope he/she will tell me.
Hence, to this dear person, thank you for the times we had together over the last four years, studying together, working on projects, late nights, bickering, laughing, joking, running off to the cinema from time to time, ”sharing” sessions at TCC, cam-whoring and just plain old shopping together. Thank you. I also want you to know that I will always love you no matter how far you wish to push me away.
My last day in this school and I am feeling rather, believe it or not, sad. I am going to leave behind all the nice and warm people who have helped me one way or other, and also the little girls who are a joy to teach yet can be so …(fill in the blanks with a negative word)… Just a few days back I realised something, I remember the names of my colleagues more than the students’. How shocking right? Lol. I will miss them all.
Got my new school posting on wednesday evening via email and I my reaction upon reading is, “WTH???!!!” (Char can testify to that. Haha!) Am I looking forward to the new school? No. Infact, my feelings now are the same as the very first time I got the posting to this school. The exact same feelings. There is a saying that feelings can be developed and it is true. Let us see what the future as in store for me.
Wait! I got one feeling about the new posting and it is called “apprehensive”. My other colleague told me stories about that school and it got me worried. However, he also told me this, “The worse the students are, the nicer the teachers there.” Haha! I have no doubt the teachers there are nice. It is the students. Well, my CT has a friend there and Char’s cousin is also teaching there. So, I do not think there will be a problem. I will have to report to them on the last week of the month. I will probably have to help out with their up coming Food & Fun Fair. Hahaha… But, you should know me, I rather not. MUAHAHAHAHA!!!
I am going to have lunch with my CT soon. SH bought me breakfast two days ago and I hope she is alright and will get better as she was hospitalised last night with a high fever. !!! Lord, please heal her and make her better. Maybe I shall write a note for the next occupier of this desk and ask her to look after SH. Hmmm…
Well, good bye my friends for making my ten weeks stay here an eventful and enjoyable one. And THANK YOU LORD for allowing me to meet such wonderful people, both staff and students. Thank you.

I hate invigilating. And on top of that, there is the twice a day tempertature taking exercies to be conducted before the exams. Sigh. Oh well. It is for a good cause, all these running around and perspiring. Invigilation in another 25mins.
P.S: The title’s weirdness is for a purpose. Lol.
