I feel as though I have just skated over the weekend, without stopping even for a puff of air. And it is already Monday! Argh~ Horror! Lately, sleep is truly precious a commodity for me. And I hate it, because I have become that person who has to have enough hours of sleep, no less, no more.
Exhaustion is starting to seep in, I suppose, with all these events popping up now and then. I cannot wait for the end of the year, when all of this is over!!! In fact, I cannot wait for 2009. Heh~. But yeah, one step at a time. =D
I read the last installment of the Harry Potter series on the same day I collected it- the launch day of course. I cried over certain chapters. It is quite sad- and only true fans can understand this of course. Us who stuck til the very end, as Rowling herself mentioned. ;)
Anyway, I can hardly wait for my leave next week, because I am going shopping!!!! Alas!!!~~
Enough procrastination for now. I have to kickstart my script for the school play.
(When all I feel like doing right now is to s-l-e-e-p.)
Ah, teachers. The teaching profession is indeed the noblest- and the only people who can truly appreciate it are teachers themselves. The hell we go through, the love-hate relationship with our students, facing each day with a smile on our face but a grimace on our hearts. I dont want to pledge to be that model teacher, the legendary one, not in this light of day when this modern generation of students- of whatever education level- lack proper mannerisms, rude, arrogant, stuck-up.
Read so many teachers' blogs and profiles and all proclaiming, "I love my students!" Really??? Yeah, okay, if you say so. It is normal, you know, to say otherwise. To put that much pressure upon yourself is almost inhumane.
I love teaching, and at times, I marvel at my students' intelligence and creative quirks.
But for all it is worth, I feel like an overworked robot at times.
I digress.
Time to scoot. :) Love,

Some people chide blogging; calling it lame. It isnt, really. For some, it is a platform to advertise themselves or products, while for a great handful, it may just be another form of diary-keeping, on-line, of course.
Blogging is useful, in keeping past memories intact. For instance, I was just browing through past archives. I was amazed at the different emotions I went through. I was so surprised that I could actually be that angry back then. Over a certain episode of course. *winks.
6 more days to go! Thinking of a suitable hide-out place. This week will be pretty exhaustive. Meeting after meeting, and starting work really early in the morning will not aid much as well. I totally look forward towards the next weekend! Yeayyy!!! <:) Love,

I wanted to start off this entry by saying that I am returning to blogging after going on a hiatus for like, at least half a year. But then again, I might soon go into another hiatus again. Who can predict such things nowadays?
Anyway, I am pretty excited about this month- July, other than it being my birthday month, and having to be entitled to one birthday leave, [Who doesnt need a break once in a while? (",)], it is also the launch of the movie for the fifth Harry Potter book; Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. When I first read the book 2 years ago, I was not really enchanted by its contents, as I usually am by the writings of Rowling. I felt that Harry Potter had became less amusing, more temperamental and inconsiderate. However, considering that the seventh and the last book; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is coming out [also the third factor for July being such a happy month], I decided to do a bit of revision- re-reading the entire set of books from Book 1 all the way to Book 6. Upon second reading, everything- plot wise begins to make more sense, and naturally deepen my admiration for Rowling's amazing ability to be able to wove such an intricatedly entertaining yet logical plots in all her 6 books. The sixth book; Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince always made me feel a bit upset; the death of one of my favouritest characters Albus Dumbledore. Silly as it may seem ( to the unreal Harry Potter fans, yes ), I shed a fair bit of tears. It was difficult not to, as I had started reading Rowling's works since I was in secondary school. It was like I grew up with the characters, understanding their joy and laughter and of course, at this very moment in time, I just look forward to reading Harry's last journey to battling the repulsively evil Dark Lord and the even more revolting double-agent Severus Snape. [you should notice that i definitely did not bother bold-ing the last two names in this paragraph] =X
I never really liked movies that are made based on books because there are a lot of character developments that are usually missed out, and of course if the movie was made by directors who never really actually read the books, it is worst. The mind works in even more wondrous ways, I say. Nevertheless, I am watching the 5th movie tomorrow, and next Saturday, I am going to go totally MIA. At 7.01am, I am collecting my book and then disappearing off somewhere to finish up the story that very day itself. =D Yeahhh!
And of course, then, I look forward to celebrating my birthday. I find it very cliched an idea whenever someone tells me that he/she dont celebrate anymore because it has lost its meaning. I think that, whatever the age, even if you are celebrating your 50th birthday, you should BE celebrating that as well! It is your own happy, personal special day. :)
Cheersss!!!!
Til next entry, whenever that may be. Love,
