Taxes, Rats ... Whatever

Phew!!! It's been awhile since I last updated here. Why?
2 reasons: rats and taxes (and laziness... but I digress)
Rats...Ah yes! The event that I mentioned a few posts ago was repeated again, this time with success (if u can say so). That day was certainly an eventful day, with about 20something school participating in it, each school with different number of participants. They sent their "best" students to do a small quiz from our college. The top 50 of the participants would be getting prizes ranging from medals to trophies and scholarships for their study in the college after their SPM!!! INCREDIBLE isn't it?!?!

Anyways, the number of students that ended up visiting was huge....500!!! With a so called timed trips, there was supposed to be a 12 cycles of trips being done for them... But some came in much faster than others, ending up in a near chaos... Thank god the students still listen to seniors, no matter how "senior" the seniors are....

well, that was reason 1.
Reason 2: Tax
Yes. My income tax...Yes, I procrastinate...I filed for so called registration at the beginning of this month, with 30th the final day. As I couldn't scan my IC to be sent, I kinda left it up till about last Thursday.... :p
Managed to get my status registered on Monday, and then realized that I still need to get a blah blah pin number to log in...Couldn't e mail to them anymore, as it was too late, so ended up getting it from the branch this morning... Now as I'm writing this, my other tab is waiting to log in for my income tax file up.... Such tenacity, bravery, and unwavering strength to get it done... Yeah right.

So... now I'm up to my knees trying to settle my income tax, reports of a certain kind in regards to certain people, and preparation of exam papers due... No to mention trying my best to try and open my diploma syllabus cd and start doing it... So WAYYYYYYYYY behind schedule. Other than that, nothing else matters..

W-E..(WhatEver)

Outbreak!!!! Outbreak!!!!

Nuff said.... Outbreak had arrived to my house specifically 2 days ago...
Not really outbreak. The name of the game was Pandemic. a board game for a maximum 0f 4 players, it is actually a good game.

Me, my sister and her bf tried the game together, and boy is it good!!!!
This is actually a cooperative game, compared to other normal board games. From the start we are fighting against time already, with 3 different ways to lose... all three so easy to achieve while only one way to win, and that pulak susah.

The game is pretty simple actually, the players need to cooperate in order to look for 4 cures to cure the world, while fighting against time to prevent outbreaks and infections in every different country... The countries are divided into 4 different coloured continents each colour a disease.

Anyways, all in all; the game is good...

Also, today in bio class, heard scary stories of certain students being violent... Not violent, on the verge.... hooooo... Kowaii....

Friday not 13th

well.... After 2 months in a row, this month's Friday ain't 13th anymore!!!! And it's a Good Friday some more!!!
Yet, today's like the 13th for me... so many things to do!!! Nearly like hell... thank god that i managed to take a break from it...

Started the morning with a guard on students for a so called open day fro the college... Now my students are usually ok, but since the group of kids here has different "stream" or groups, some of them ain't under me... And what chaos they bring!!!! Oh gosh... The control!!!!

A group of my kids were doing dissection of rats (for the first time for them actually), while the other bigger batch, with some of my other kids and not-my kids were in charge of chemistry practicals, which included reactivity tests, electroplating and flame tests (both singular and combined)...

To be honest, they sis the jobs well, demonstrating well to people there... IT's just that having about 30 kids in a small lab, with 2 different experiments going on can be hard on the "guardian" lecturers here...

U can here kids screaming "sir!!!" from different corners of the lab at the same time... People, I'm just one person, not a multiple clone...

It doesn't help much that the ones dissecting rats were so into it, they took out every single thing in the rat...You name it, they take it out....

Yet, it went well all in all, thank goodness... Must congratulate them on the success, not to mention their enthusiasm on it...Must not forget to thank the other helpers who help me guard the kids too :0

If u see this: THANK YOU!!!!

Went for lunch at a nearby mall then, and saw the new cars on parade there. Specifically the Chevrolet AVEO.... SO SO SO SO NICE!!!!!!!!!!!! I beg your pardon for the exclamations, Aveo has been my dream car, and now with the prome... it's so mouth watering!!!!

Now... Must plan on payment...
Also... wondering who would wanna go for an overnight trip to genting mayb one of this saturdays this month? Hahahahahaha!!!!

So many things to do...

yup. That's right. So much things to do... Partly it's due to my own fault - procrastination... But I do things well last minute most of the time...

Anyways, most are done. Except a few class replacements, a field trip still to go.. and of course, setting up the exam papers... My kid's exam are coming round the long corner, and I'm still in offline mode to set paper... Reason? LAZY i guess....:p

Jiwang

Talk about being in a stupid mood suddenly. I'm currently lying on the bed not being able to sleep. Why? Cos I just had a good stupid tearing up after listening to Peter Gabriel's book of love, while having flashbacks of my mum, dad and sister helping me out when I was sick, I'll and god knows other situations. Also flashbacks of trips use had last time... How lame... It would sound lamer as I'm in this sudden moods more easily eversince I had my check up from IJN.

Doctor there did not give news on my condition. In fact, it was bad. I'm towards the end of my terminal disease, with no apparent solution. Oh well, kind knew it somehow. Maybe that contributed to me being nonchalant towards it. My family didn't take it well though. Heard my mum crying her heart out when she first heard about it (only me and my dad went to IJN that day). My sis was slightly better. Well, we still try to make do with what we are going through now. Yet, somehow it seems to me that it's different now. Whatever they do for me, it seems rushed somehow....

I for one am feeling up n down more than usual. Not many know it, only a few colleagues, a best friend, and of course hose who is reading this... I know it feels like I'm fishing for sympathy, but I seem to fall at any slight sentimentality. Yet I can't show that to my family. If I can't stand strong for them, who else?
Hence I'm jotting here... In a way it's a relief, cos I know where to let go of my aargh about this. On other hand, it looks as if I'm trying to start a self tragedy show....

GOUT and all that comes with it

I recently got admitted to the nearest clinic, which was actually 15 minutes away from my house at 2.40am. My left feet sole was at an immense pain that even a small cloth on it would generate powerful electric shock - to me lah at that time.
Anyways, it was only on that time, I realized( after a shot at the gluteus maximus) that I have gout....GOUT?! GOUT?!?!?! When in hell did i begin to have that?!?!?!

Well, nuff said. With gout comes new er hem... diet... No organ beefs, no seafood ... No cabbage too... Beef... ok, but seafood? My crabs, prawns, squid... NO!!!!!!!!!!!! There goes my reason of going to Italiannies now that I can't take shrimp nor prawn...
Actually, I can. But I have to get some stupid medicine ready for the pain... and I don mean painkillers.
Anyways, started with medication then. The real meds for the gout was so mild, my friend hearing it laughed like mad... But the painkiller was the "killer" to give me side effects.

My painkiller began to cause me to have wind....then diarrhoea... and even gastritis!!! Lord!!! THe pain of having gas... is soooooo bad u can't even imagine it... Cramps all of a sudden... Needing to go loo just in case... sigh.. the sadness.. Not to mention that I'm still needing to work then!

Well. My weekend was kinda bad due to that... Had to cancel tuition because of the bad stomach, was so sad...(seriously)
It took a turn for the worst on Sunday, yesterday; when I had diarrhea for like 5 times.... before the evening set in!
To cut story short.. I had to get mc today due to the problem....

Now. Gout is a kinda harmless problem, apart from the pain that is... it just causes renal failure... Not much over there, since I myself am expecting that too... :p

Serious side: With today's mc, I'm soo mush needing time now to replace classes. This week, 4 hrs to replace - not to mention that I need another 4 hours for last week... and the kids are on to mid term exam!!!!!!!! AIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LATEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phew!!!!
After a 4-months laziness, I've finally decided to update my blog again!!!
Woo hoo!!!!Now, who gave me the idea of updating my blogsite now? Especially when I did not bother to update my previous 2?
It was actually my students. Seeing their blogsite updated nearly everyday with nonsensical musings oo not gave me the "HOPE" to update mine, as I think that somehow, somewhere, sometime someone would read this.... No comments? nah... I think that's passed. Not all blogsite are commented. After all, it's not like your blogsite is goddamn good anyways....
