Serious

No wonder they say teaching is hard
RULE 1: WHEN LECTURE, JUST LECTURE

Now I know what it means, with the end of my intake here.
Seriously, I think I am grwoing WEE TOO LITTLE attached to this small group
That I am letting my guard down, taking them in as my anak buah.
Now that certain things are happening, I just realized that they are not going to be there all the time. And IT HURTS, really hurts

I'm actually tearing up over it. Thinking about them, how they've been the whole year through... It's like watching oyur own kids grow up.. And now they
re going off.

Tuition was different, somehow it didn't really feel that bad. It was like, once a week?
BUt this one instead had been EVERY SINGLE WEEKDAY. From Jan till now, especially nowadays, since I'm having extra classes with them.
Knowing that next week is their final academic week with me is actually quite hard for me to bear in a way.
Sometimes, I wish i have a year and a half with them like A levels instead of only 10months. But if they do take A'levels, I might not even be taching them!!! So in a way, I'm thankful that they're doing this mode instead.
But they all...
SAM, ASH, JY, JJ, ANNA, Lee.. A small mischievious group of kids. The loudest, most non sensical group I've ever met. Yet, these kids are so dear to my heart, that as I'm writing this, my eyes being to water.
If teaching is painful, being a parent hurts alot then.

Yet, this is where I am slightly apprehensive. Does a lecturer just teach, be a proffesional? Or should he/she put his/her effort into knowing the kids too?
I apparently knew them so well, that we seem to have our own private family monikers here.
This further intensifies my dilemma. I do teac them,I do. but everytime their work/results are bad, my heart falss doubly. One from being a lecturer - Am I teaching them right? other would be concerned about them - WHY aretheir grades that way? Frustration pours into my heart here, that I dono how to handle it sometimes.

can't bear to see them off on the last day. Might cry.

But, not only did archi married Veronica, they had twins too, and Archie is now in the Lodge company!!!

As I am writing now

As I am writing now, I am currently beside my bed. ooh...
Well, didn't manage to go to work today as I suddenly had all the flu, cold, fever chills, body aches and lethargy at the same time this morning itself. It was goddang painful to get up at all wei, I thought I had broken my body. My family were quite worried too, insisting that I should see doctor. I know this is a temporary thing one, as my body tend to accumulate the restless nights, and effects till a certain point and KABOOM!!! I was feeling the tiredness seeping out yesterday in fact as I came home.
Well, had to apply Emergency Leave. Initially thought I could be better by noon, but by 11 I was still painful everwhere, that I had to sms on my bed itself to extend the EL. Then I went to sleep again till 12!
Woke up slightly better then and took abit of food. Went to sleep again at 1.30 till 4!!! Now, not that I'm jolly healthy and jumping, but at least I feel much better that I can actually start typing :p
Anyways, I should be able to work tomorrow.
My body's alarm signals can be so teruk at cases one... sigh....

another note, the grandfather of one of my other kids passed away peacefully yesterday. My condolences to her and the family.

Time to sign off now. Gotta rest a bit more.. maybe another nap...

How did that come out to be is embarassing, and embarassing to know too. Nuff..
Yet, apparently the name is stuck already to me, when the kids whine about something, anything (everything).

Anyways, the distress and uncertainty is back again, folks. U know what i mean. If don, then it's ok.

Well, today our Sue finally came back from Pandanland!!! Sue's relative passed away and Sue had to go back to jaga the place, keep the place from burning, according to what it says... Sue had to sleep at the wake of the relative, so with the rest of the family, they ahd to go through the wake.

RIP

Firstly and foremost. A minute of prayer to Stephen Gately from Boyzone who died suddenly in Spain while with his hubby Cowles. Stephen was 33.
Not that I"m obsessed with hime,but I think that he was a gutsy and brave fellar during his time, as he did the undoable at that time during the boyband times - by coming out then. I take that as being brave for someone of that nature, as he provided the "carpet" for others to follow later one (Lance, Ellen, etc).
R.I.P., Stephen, and condolences to the family and close ones.

Died, then came back to life

Sir! Sir!!! Sue's dead!!! That was what my kids told me this afternoon. "Cannot contact Sue lar!! Worried about her!!!" One of them continued. What happened:
Messaged Sue this morning and no one picked up called, no pick up. At this time the whole class knew that Sue must be sleeping. Biasa mah. Then till 2pm still no pick up on phone. Sue was not only absent in my class but another class to. That's how we got worried. Sue might've really died!!, exclaimed one of them.
So off we headed to Sue's house. Anyways, in the end, Sue came out with very bad face - just woke up face!!!! O.o
Found out that Sue had headache the day b4 and whole night through - popping Panadols like candies...
Siau kid!!!
Grr....

Anyways, before going off, take a listen to Kris Allen's single - Live like u're dying. Yes. I didn't really like him as idol this year. Yet, surprisingly this song is nice to hear. He sounded a bit like the singer who sang the man who wouldn't move...


Note: The name SUE is given to protect the "real" person's name. We don play naming the culprit here one :p

Sudden urge

Suddenly so wanna say so many things at the same time. And it's like only been 3 days since my last blog. Hopefully these kinda things don happen to often though. Hate to see it happening when I'm in some ULU place w/o a connection and wanting to say something.

Anyways, here goes.
friday

Nothing really happen much that day. As usual, had classes with my kids. Ah. Remember now. Was at lunchtime, where the kids and I went to the nearest mall for lunch. Now, usually we'd head straight for Subway and the promo lunch there, since it's the fastest.
Yet, on that day, one of the kids - the Confused One - whined on having Subway again ("don wan Subway lar.... always that one...") and so we asked him what he wanted. He dono pulak. ended up in the Station Kopitiam at the lower ground floor. The food was surprisingly ok... Kinda got hungry about an hour later though, even with the Nasi Padprik i ordered (but that's just me). After that , we went to get my drum set (don ask) while another kid went to get Nee and San to complement her Ich at home.
As we headed back to college about an hour later, the CONFUSED ONE stated: STILL HUNGRY LAR...
Nak kena ketuk punya budak!!!!

Sidenote: Guitar Hero 5 got cool songs wei!!!

Saturday
Woke up about 11 and checked FB. then went to clean my room abit for the coming makan we're having. my PSP suddenly gave out, prompting me to go and check it at Cine with a frined of mine at the shop. So up I went there, just in time to see the latest gadget...



PSP GO!!!!! first to .. :p

Going back then, my first few friends- my work colleagues - arrived for the makan about 4ish... It's a bit sad though that only few of them then, cos the others couldn't come. Anyways, they stayed till about 5ish and went off, just as the other batch came in. And came in more of our guests then...
the makan ended up finishing about 9 something, with my sis's Bf's family going back last. Not really last, as my sis's friends were there still. We then proceeded to my room as the "ADULTS" aren't there anymore and proceeded to...
GUITAR HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

finished about 1 am :p

Sunday
Woke up at 1.15 suddenly remembering that I have a card tournament at 2!!! So scrambled to the bathroom to shower up and so forth. But before heading there had to send my cat to groom firstly, and get lunch (Mckers.


that's doukas n the bag as I sent him to the groomer.

Tourney didn't relly do well... Stupid cards didn't come at right time in the second game (won first one), and loss as a result. Third game was financially bad.... Money flood..... Flood!!!! no peep to handle the situation, not to mention Moto chen bugger came in the second turn!!!! And 2 sneaks crumbled my defenses...Got 8th out of 11 :(
Dinner at a friend's open house, at Penchala. His house is huge... And STEEP. the road heading to his house is like 20% steep!!! thnk god we walked up to it (cungap cungap I...)
Dinner was ok. The chicken was TOUGH... my jaw ached after 3 pieces of it... the chicken wings were good though, Me and my other friends (9 of us) had like 50 of them!!!! Hahahahahaha!!! I hade 8 i think :p
Went back at 10, slept then...

Flash...

My friends have been telling me a bout this so called new series that just premiered in US. Known as Flash forward, they raved a lot about it, for a good reason too.
As I watched the trailer, I got caught up in the excitement too.
The premise is simply this:

Whole world population collapse and FAINTED for 2 minutes at the same time - so many disasters happened. REALLY BLACKOUT. so u expect la, accidents happen, planes literally crash and burn and so forth.
Next thing is, as these people woke up to the proceeding chaos around them, they realized that many of them dreamt a part of something on themselves 6 months later on. Whoever that they contacted that time ACTUALLY dreamt sequence similar too...
That's the whole story. Obviously u know now, what the plot is heading too.
It's from the makers of LOST. Best of all there was an advert on this Flash series... on the Boeing that crashed in LOST!!!!



The trailer

Anyways, before capping off, here's a video that's been missed sorely on MTV and V (I think in this region at least) - American cowboy from the group Jada. Not too bad for an very new model-like gal group. Let's see if they're a hit like the pussycats.

SEX IS EXPENSIVE

Yes. You got that right. SEX is EXPENSIVE.
What?!?!! My update after a month and i'm talking about sex? It's the most interesting thing in the world, i think :p
Anyways, how did that statement come about?
Well...

Me and some of my friends are thinking of something to get for a friend of ours - his 30th birthday is coming about mid month.
people who know me would know by now the many types of friends I have. And this friend of ours is particularly eccentric.
He is always BERTANDUK.

Everytime we all hang out together, it's noticed that he can never run away from the sex subject for more than 5 minutes one. And he ALWAYS TALK ABOUT IT in many ways/hints/connotations - u get the drift there.

So, we decided to get something to that way for his big THREE O. After all, he's approaching his 1/3 lifespan already :p
Now, we went to a sex shop in PJ this evening, trying to think of what to get him.

First, we dono still whether he has his other half or not - HE NEVER talks about it. So... there goes the presents that we thought to get for him then - the boardgames, the cuffs, tasty lingerie, you know lar, things that u need a partner to USE WITH.
Even if he had a partner, we didn't know his gender preference - our friend here is so ambiguous, an earthworm would likely tell us its gender instead. But I digress...

so off that plan go, as we looked/hunt for more. Of course, since he's SINGLE (To us), obviously we plan on the THINGS he can use BY himself.
so we went to see...

Lingerie - WT?!?!?! Who is he wearing for? IS he gonna wear it pun?!?! Don expect us to get him and elephant thong for him for that birthday, tell him to wear it and ask him to show the present!!!!???!!! that's traumatizing, even if he's good looking (to some of our female friends lar)

Cuffs/Whips - Don think he's the flogging type. And he's bad with memory. Next thing we wouldn't want is that he calls us to his place to look for the keys to the cuffs that he wore....

Condoms - Firstly, it's sooooooo common, even with the flavoured/smelling/ribbed/ whatever types. Furthermore, how is he going to taste the flavoured one?...

ALAT PEMBESAR - not sure how well endowed he is, don wanna know, don wanna help him there. Even if it's for his birthday. Please, pal, ur ego is big enough... we don wanna help you on other ...

Then another gal pal of ours who were there suddenly told us. What about CAHAYA KULIT?!?!?! And we went wah!!!!!!
yeah lar, why didn't we think of that at all? Cos it wasn't on the shelves, one thing's for sure . By now, u would have known what it is... googling it or translating it to the language that u understand.

On the side note, I wonder why they don put it out? It's obviously sold, since when we ask for it, the sales guy went under his counter (literally) and pulled some of those items we were asking for....

maybe cos it looked eewwish? not really... or else people - guys especially, won't use it (NOT TAT I USE IT)... I'm pure- and TCF, so don need that :p

Continuing to the sroy. So we went to ask to see if he has it, and dear lord - the many types he pulled out from the drawer!!!! It's like the drawer came from Doraemon's pocket!!!
U have the normal one, with lips; u have the bigger one looking like....
than the mini one, which says finger rubbing "machine". NOW this one we don understand from him. How can the guy use it when the thing wrote that it's for the ladies to touch....?
And he took out the most technological one, as we rolled our eyes at the previous ones... thinking of which to get our friend. The technologically advanced? It's bigger (medium torchlight size) and apparently, it VIBRATES, so it acts like .... 0.o

there, we were kinda struck speechless by the devices. Then the gal asked for price.
The advance one? RM699 - OM(insert your letter)THAT MUCH?!?!?!?!?! wow, it's as pricey as a DS Lite, near the price of a PSP!!!!
Can't really think of anything else it'll do though. Not like the device is gonna play videos for you, or spout music. heck - u only use it for ...
Then we went and ask the prices for the others then...
RM299 for normal one. O.o
RM400 for bigger one >.<"
the finger one? RM 180 - WOW. Just WOW....
Now u know why sex is dear...

To end the story. We went out of the shop, saying that we'll think about it. Of course we'll think about it. We'll think about the device, and the price tag along with it...

In the end we decided to buy him

A BIRTHDAY CARD
