Briefly...

Wt has bn happening since I last post. Well too much. It's bn 2 weeks into term 2. At the moment everybody bn busy with the exam papers. Setting, vetting, doing the exam timetable..when I'm doing the exam tt, looking at the grid really gives me a headache.
The DD's visit bn done. Not really involved in it cos I was away for dept. activity. I was there for only an hour. I didn't even sit through the presentation. But now the sch is busy with the next important visit. The BIG man himself is coming. The MINISTER OF EDUCATION himself. So can u imagine wt a time we are having in sch. With 2 big events. I'm also busy with my coursework. My sec 5s are OK. Wonderful lot most of them. I'm having a headache with my sec 3s. FN is not to be compared to Home Econs. Its really coursework and coursework and more coursework. So its really chasing and chasing for students to complete their work. I'm really tired. But I hv no choice .. must get these ple to do their coursework.
But I also received a few gd news. As per normal at this time of the year civil sevants will receive their performance bonus. I got mine. Ok lah . Standard. And guess what I did with the money. I went to NATAS fair and booked a holiday for the whole family. A family holiday in JUNE. I'm excited cos I can finally bring my kids to a further destination. WE ARE GOING TO ................if everything goes as planned. Insya'allah. I think my hubby is the most excited..He kept looking at websites on ............... and telling me wt we can find there ..wt to look for there...Whereas in contrast Hafiza was the least excited.. cos she's gonna miss her band practice...could you believe it. I'm lost for words. But even if the trip was planned for June hols I still had to apply for my leave early cos there is always the end of holidays meeting and trainings for staff. So had to convinced the VP that there are no other time. But really no other time and again there is the coursework to complete during the 1st week of June holidays. Sigh..
So before my planned holiday to ........ loads of deadlines.
My hubby will be going to Surabaya this weekend for majlis maulid with the whole menaqib gang. I always miss this cos being in the education service, I can't apply for leave. I can only hope that it will soon fall during the 1 week March break then I will hv the privilege to share the experience. 8 days away. I will miss him despite wt happen weeks ago.
A very important learning pt for me during an episode with regards to his grandmother is
1. do not question on the responsibility of others.
2. to accept that it is a privileged to be able to do things for your elders.
3. there are no such things as ideal.
4. put yourself in the shoes of others.
5. there are some things better left unsaid.
It was so hard cos I felt that I was in a no win situation. I still am. Things hv subsided cos she's back at where she was before. I will just hv to see if history repeats.
But I also am thankful that my kids were there to help me go through the rough period.
And I got to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle...OK only lah.
I met an ex student at Giant IMM. I know a bunch of them were working there but I thought that they had all left cos they want to enjoy before poly starts. So I was surprised to see him there. But I was happy that most of those I taught last year made it to poly.
