Withdrawal symptoms

Feel so refreshed, becos i hardly haf the opportunity to sleep for 11 hours, which i did yesterday. normally i would be woken up by my bio clock after about 7 hrs of sleep. fortunately i din haf to work today, so i got some time to talk abt some of the happenings over the past 2 days.

Sunday had a great time meeting my most respected teacher of my life, whom i've always taken as a role model of mine. We shared abt our experiences of teaching and was glad to know that i was identified as her only student whom she'll impart all her skills as a teacher to. I realise we have a very common similarity, becos we firmly believe in the concept of INTEGRITY in self and on the students. Of course i've gotten some good advice from her on how i could handle the students better and also i was exposed to some dark side of office politics which could possibly happen to me....about jealousy by colleagues, leading to irrational behavior and unscrupulous actions that i ought to be beware of, and how i could protect myself to prevent all these from happening. i oso took some effort to cook her an exceptionally healthy meal...no deep frying or stir drying involved. low salt, fat and calories. just soup and steaming. She knew me so well, even my viewpoints on work, family and relationship, which i dare to say that very very few pple even know abit cos i dun like to share such personal issues. and was glad to know that she totally agreed with my actions and viewpoints that i am doing what i should be doing :)

watercress pork rib soup, but wk accidentally added too much red dates into it...

steamed pomfret with wine, sesame seed oil and sour plums

steamed chicken wings with chinese herbs

this final dessert was prepared by her, it's low fat chocolate cake, with butter being replaced by sunflower oil! it taste great and rich!

this gift (a tie pin) was given to me by her as a 'start work' gift

Monday had a pleasant surprise at office, as i found out that my students had done very well for their final exam this time round...good job pple, u've proven yourselves that if you wanna do it, you can do it! and you have did it WITH INTEGRITY! but the headache comes when i had to give them their final grade for the training. It's a tough decision as i believe most of them deserves a reasonably good grade for their effort, but in life there's limitations and rules to follow. The lowest percentile pple haf to get the shit, and only this VERY small number of pple can obtain the grade that everybody wans.

It was yesterday that i felt this very long lost feeling that i do not haf to race against time every minute at office or even have to bring my work home every nite to mark log books or prepare for nx day practicals. Quite unused to such feelings, I was kept occupied by helping out to take the ITE students on the DCS panel and also by the conference in the afternoon when me and LK gave a presentation on basic first aid to treat common possible injuries that can happen to our loved ones and oso trainees here.

习惯这样 词曲唱: 戴佩妮 (listen to this song here)

已习惯在没有你的下雨夜里

这样一杯冰冷的咖啡

整理整夜的思绪想想过去

只为了证明我对你没有暂停

想起你总习惯在这样的一个夜里

担心我的爱不够彻底 你怀疑我的心

我该如何学会让你相信

原来在我的眉目之间可以感觉

多一点一些些的愁绪紧紧的夹在中间

彷佛在你的视线后面依稀感觉

少一点一些些的勇气面对你

习惯这样的距离 习惯这样的你的背影

习惯这样 这样的你 习惯这样 (这样的你习惯这样)

习惯这样的你 习惯这样
