tacitae per amica silentia lunae: admist the friendly silence of the soundless moonlight

I am weary, and I a stranger,

Lead me to the land of angels.

Be my eyes in time of darkness,

Be my shield against host of faery,

Be my wings till I find my home.

I went to school for a departmental meeting today - this sounds so professional huh. Well, I guess it went pretty well, most of the teachers were very flustered because they came from a meeting before, and were going for a meeting after. Sigh, I wish teachers did not have to spend so much time on issues that don't concern teaching, but I guess it's a job hazard. I realise that I have to set an exam paper next term, but let's worry about it on monday! Haha, I also learnt that teachers get start-of-school jitters as well...they get stressed on sunday night too!

Hmm, unpleasant as this may seem, I guess i have to come to terms with the fact that not all teahers are nice to each other. I don't know why, it's such a big change from MOE where everyone was very friendly and warm, but some people in school are downright rude. Perhaps they despise the fact that I'm a relief teacher, or perhap they're just too stressed, but it's too RUDE.

Today is the 5th day of 21 days. It's not getting any better.

it's not the years in your life that count,

And now I will show you the most excellent way:
If I speak in tongues of men and of angels, but have not love,
I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy
and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love,
I am nothing.

If I give up all I possess,
and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love,
I gain nothing.

Love is patient; love is kind;
it does not envy; it does not boast; it is not proud.
It is not rude; it is not self-seeking;
it is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,
they will pass away; where there are tongues,
they will be stilled; where there is knowledge,
it will pass away.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
but when perfection comes,
the imperfect disappears.

When I was a child, I talked like a child,
I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

Now we see but a poor reflection,
then we shall see face to face.

Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain:

faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.
