I found my wallet. =) It was in my supervisor's shelf. Haha.
It had been an enriching week. I learnt a lot of my cousin, Elaine. We had not talked for 10 odd years. Can you imagine how distant we ought to be? However, I met her twice in a week and we shared a lot a lot. Talking to her really opens up my mind, stretches my insight of the world I am living in and helps me to understand my needs better. I am so thankful for her. The comfort given by her is entirely different from those given by friends. When I shared with her about my current situation at home, I feel relieved. I know she will definitely try to help me with no hesitation and no obliges because she is my family.
And one more thing, I realised she was saved years ago. WOO! I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE IN TAY FAMILY! Haha. Awesome.
She was asking me if I wanted to join her company. Alternative future. (contemplating...) Her company is very different from the typical company you find anywhere in Singapore. They really looks into your values and principals and not just your results. I went to attend their monthly gathering and the people there clearly shows me that at the end of the day, where you came from doesn't matter anymore. It all comes down to how hard you work and how sincere are you when you serve your clients.
Anyway, I cut my hair yesterday! Ha. Erm. Well, to the extent I can't tie it up properly. ... Random. Ok. I finally got my birthday card from cell. Despite the fact that I joined them barely a few weeks and do not know them well, their words in the card were surprisingly heartwarming. Ha. Perhaps the sentences were so nicely phrased because they had been working for ages and learnt the techniques to make people feel good. Haha. Whatever it is, they really made me feel welcomed. HA. I went to cell just now!!! Happy happy happy. ...
I feel so young everywhere I go, be it at workplace, cell or my cousin's company. I am always the youngest, even in the Tay family (up to my generation).
Mon - 11.5hr, Tue - 10hr, Wed - 12hr, Thur - 10hr, Fri - 10hr. Total in this week, 53working hours. I am used to having my dreams coming true. However, for the last year my dreams having not been coming true and I thought I so called 'lost' my 'power'. Then slowly, I realised 2 years ago I did had a dream about myself working at the student care, Alastair was in my dream. Whatever happened in that dream happened then. Today I believed I lost my wallet, suddenly a dream that I had before played itself in my mind. In that dream, I lost my wallet and I was terrified and I was thinking of hiding from my parents, get
WS to go
ICA with me and at the same time, I was watching this show about Dubai. I fidgeted and realised I was watching the show and did think about how to get
WS and
Sok's help. Freaky. My dreams are still coming true. As much as I want that, I am still wondering how can I make use of those dreams? Ever since the incident of
WS losing her wallet during GB conference, I really try hard to gasp and work my dream out so that something good can come out from it but till now I haven't succeed.
Pity I don't remember having any dreams about my future workplace.
Faith messaged me a verse - Joshua 1-8. I was pretty surprised by it. Though it's a common verse to everyone, yet it answered my uncertainty immediately. I was indeed terrified, I was indeed discouraged and the verse says it all.
My mum asked me a lot of questions. She said her friends told her God is awesome, loving, kind and graceful, but one of them was divorced, with a gangster son and so forth, how does that telly with what the friend said?
I had answers in my mind but dared not to share. Regrettably.
I didn't know how dependent I am on my parents until I first paid my phone bill and had to find food before working in the morning, how moronic. I was so lazy that I could go to work with a hungry stomach. (which is a big deal for
hl you know)
I dreamt of ex, to my extreme surprise. Probably, it must be, caused by my bus trip which passed by
BPGH.
I dreamt of
Jie saying sorry to me (which he did the next day). I dreamt of telling
WS I was eyeing a new
sony phone and a new number and she gave me this '
shou bu
liao ni' attitude. I also dreamt of swimming with a dolphin, conquering my phobia for seas/oceans.
My cousin wants to meet up with me after not meeting for 5++ years. She said she had alternative plans for me. Investments/insurances/etc I never never give any thought of working in those fields before. Totally no. ...
The twins in the student care somehow draw my attention to them wherever they go.
Arh, I just loved them.
Haha. This noon, the older sister (
os) was playing with me at my back, I turned and gave a look. Then, once I turned back, holding the
os's hands, I saw her again. I was shocked at first, stupidly. Then I said, "If I didn't work here, I seriously would think I see a ghost." That was the younger sister in front of me with the same hairstyle, hairband, shirt and face(
haha obviously) as the
os. She wanted to play with me too. =)
It felt weird and heartwarming at the same time when KS actually wanted me to his partner. He meant it.
LOL. ME? Someone who scolded him badly during class?! Sigh, KS, you better understand I care for you and believe you will score.
Yesterday some people could not watch movie because I caught them for
misbehaving during
nap time. Those
ppl include kids from my previous class. I was doing paper with J and the naughty kids were supposed to do reading while
ppl watch movie. The ones from my previous class kept wanting to do papers with me..
Hahahahaha. I felt awesome.
LOL. (doing papers is what the kids hate most
leh.
haha)
But then again, I seriously don't act like a teacher, they probably like to do things with me because they know I will listen to them telling me what they do in school. ... (not because I am good/clear/smart)
Oh one more thing, I'd been hearing more and more people getting cancer.
I didn't forget you, you know. After all I still used the song we sang as my
ringtone. SM was surprised that I used that cos that song is old.
Haha. Well...
Some people shared with me how morphine works on cancer patients, why they couldn't lie probably and why their stomachs bloated. The doctors also always say 6 months, once the c-cells reach the lungs. Oh I just realise if spread to liver, you had shorter lifespan.
I felt, ashamed? No, not that exactly, more of, ignorant... but then again, that time I was only 15, we were really too young to comprehend these things.
I don't know why I must understand the effects and how a cancer patient had to undergo the pains and consequences at this time. It's such a, coincidence.
I wished, I had known better.
TERRIFIED
KS, I can't tell you which is more impt but I can only say improvment is definitely impt and results reflect it.
Yesterday I spent 13.5 hours outside, worked for 12hours, spent 3 hours travelling, half of it on walking.
Home -

CCK - Home sweet home
Monday I message with
XinDi, Tuesday I met Lynn when I was on the way to pick the kids. so unexpected
K, I'm too tired since last 2 days I had been travelling here and there and my body hasn't adapted to that. Talk lesser.
SA1 results caused quite a commotion at the centre. My heart didn't sank when I saw
KS's papers and results. He failed 3 out of 4 subjects. Ha. Although he flung the papers badly, he improved a lot. His results for each subject jumped by 10-20 marks. That's an great
achievement! He always get 0 for comprehension so right before his
English paper, I gave him many comprehensions to do and now he got 3 marks! To many perhaps those are nothing, someone asked me to give up on him too. It takes a lot of effort to see him improve and he is still failing his papers. KS himself was upset with people scolding him for his results. He asked me "Teacher
HL, results very important
meh? I thought improvement or values are more important?" I was pretty stunned because KS is a playful, never-serious, notorious boy. The environment is shaping him and I have to play a part in it. Everyone is showing him that results are more important than anything else, so with poor results he is nothing. How is he going to treasure himself and love himself if people is showing more love and praise to smarter kids? I finally can understand why he rejects studies more. It's an unbalanced and unfair stage to play on, for someone who is very righteous as him, he would want nothing to do with it.
So please remind me, must shower love to those who did badly too.
Recently there are many things happening but I feel very numb. Too numb in fact. My mind is just blank, feeling nothing, blank. Is this how it is like when someone is going through transition?
