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.

Ooh, Singapore is coming up with a biometric passport after National Day, I wonder what that will be like? Anyway, I have to make a new passport since mine expires in 2007, which is quite scary because I'll be moving around quite often..haha.
It's actually quite relaxing to be free..I like it. I actually am thinking of taking my piano diploma exam again some day in the far future, and I think I should restart my violin if I want to join the university orchestra. But...there's time for procrastination I suppose....

Today has been my last day of teaching for the next 3 years. I'm quite relieved about it, because I think I have been ruining the students lives for the past few weeks...ah well.
The muddy mud pie at Coffee Club is simply fantastic! I wonder if anyone will be too shocked if we order 5 straight away the next time we go there?

How can anyone bang into so many things in the jungle!! One day I really will not be surprised if he falls down a ravine and injures himself terribly - how can you voluntarily walk into a tree, trip over a giant rock and walk into a drain? Tsk.
I hate it that I have so little time left. Why why WHY???
Oh, anyway, just back from OBS. An extremely fulfilling experience.

Argh....I am totally unfit! I must start training again...OBS was totally exhausting because I have turned into a tub of lard after 7 months without PE lessons. But it was fun, and I guess it's helped me make a lot of new friends.
More inductions tomorrow...means more fattening but good food!
2 more days...sigh. This never never ends.

Been rather busy these few days. Having a lot of talks and learning journeys as part of the pre departure course..the only thing that keeps us there is the food! It's seriously nice. Although we nap through the talks and wake up for food...it's still very exhausting somehow..haha.
OBS on saturday. BLEAH.
I need a job!! I have been "fired" from TKSS..but I feel quite relieved because it was making me very disillusioned about my bond and all. But I need something to do for August...any suggestions?

I'm really grateful that I have such wonderful friends. Even though I must admit I have very few friends, I know that I'd really rather have friends that I can really connect with rather than people who are more popular but I can't stand and don't know how to tell them I can't stand them.
I'm grateful for the people in my life. I'm thankful my parents and sister accompanied me to do all my shopping, and didn't mind when I "escaped" halfway to go out. I'm thankful that no matter how long it's been since I last talked to my closest friends, we still can confide in each other. Even though I'll be losing these people in a few moths time...I know they'll still be there for me when I return.

In less than 24 hours time...I will be happy. The feeling of utter contentment is always so elusive nowadays, and though it'll always be tinged with sadness....well, I must remember to live for the present. After all, who's got more than a hundred years to live?
Hee, I've never said this here before, but....I love you.

Back to school today, sigh, I really think my voice is not loud enough. How do teachers do it?
I have to meet a student's parent tomorrow, as well as plan a test by tomorrow. Haha, but I'm home already - I only get paid for 5.5 hours! I also found out that actually long term relief teachers can be employed on contract even though they only have A level qualifications, so at least they get more monetary reward for their work?
I'm actually not sure I want to teach my whole life, it seems like a very mundane job. I don't really enjoy dealing with teenagers and their attitude problems, but I don't know what else I want to do, so I guess I'll stick to it and do the best I can.
Oh, I found out that Amanda from music has a boyfriend in OCS too! Apparently she saw me on sunday. What sad lives all of us lead........
Today is the 16th day of 20 days. We're on our way.

If I become a teacher, I will celebrate youth day for the rest of my life - even though I think being a youth stops at 35? But there's this common notion that it stops after JC..oh, whatever.
Bought a microphone today..hopefully I won't have to shout anymore. I guess I shouldn't really have to, but I feel an inkling of responsibility to make sure my students are learning.....
Today is the 15th day of 20 days. Sigh.
I went to OCS today for the second time to visit him - it's such a different atmosphere from when I went 2 years ago for the Temasek seminar. I'm very frustrated with his parents but this is not the place to discuss stuff like that..haha. The twins were there too...somehow everyone who gets there puts on weight - or muscle, as they prefer you to call it.
3 short hours of pure happiness...today is the 14th day of..surprise...20 days!
it's not the years in your life that count,
but the life in your years.

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.
