In Motion

Lately I've been a confusing muddle of feelings, and not many of them positive. It's just one month to the wedding, and I know you may think it's weird that I'm feeling this way. I should be walking on air, or at least excited that I'm entering a whole new phase of life, right? And there's going to be this pretty wedding that people are going to come for and celebrate with me and Jia Wern, so what's there to NOT be happy about? I'll start from the beginning, and try not to confuse you as much as I am confused. All my life, I haven't been a very social person. I can count the number of really close friends I have on one hand, and that includes Rene, who is technically a family member. My relationship with Jia Wern is something not many people are privy to, since we only started when he was over there, and I was still here. We have hardly any mutual friends, and practically none who know us well enough to make an excellent, balanced wedding speec...

I've been through 12 weeks of practicum, and this practicum has been the best one ever. I love everything about SK TRJ, except the canteen food. The admin and teachers there were so nice to us and treated us like real teachers instead of their personal assistants/free labour. Everyone was eager to help us and make our stay the best one possible. I am so in love with that school. I can only conclude that if the school admin is ok, everything else falls into place. I love SK TRJ, and I even miss the admin there more than the students. =P In terms of students, other than the discipline level, SK TRJ has a wonderful bunch of kids. They are still...kids, not teenager wannabes. I was impressed that the young girls didn't send the handsome male trainees love letters and stalk them like what I'd previously witnessed in other schools. The kids were really sweet, too. I entered some classes only for relief, but the kids in those classes still greet me and beam at me happily eve...

My Year 3 class is NOT the best class, but they have an uncanny affinity for worksheets. When I go into that class for Moral Education, they will eagerly ask "Will there be a worksheet?" even before I finish teaching. =.= Just yesterday, I went in to the class to discuss about today's party, and their Mathematics teacher was in the class. She asked them to listen to me, and threatened them with, "Kalau tak...saya akan ambil balik lembaran kerja awak!" The class shuddered . I think any other class would've loved less homework. But not this class. I think they're crazy. xD

So it seems I have a long weekend this week - my school took Monday off. I like long weekends. Haha who doesn't. But it's nice to be able to kick back and relax, and think of all the wonderful time-wasting things you can do WITHOUT feeling guilty or rushing for time. Like shopping, for instance, and blogging, which I'm doing right now. First of all, UPDATES on wedding preparations. During the March hols, I managed to settle a lot of stuff such as the wedding dress (can I hear a Yay!) and makeup. That's...A LOT of stuff ok. You have no idea how long it takes just to find a wedding dress. I basically spent 3-4 days spread out over a span of 6 months trying to find THE perfect dress... ...and realized it doesn't exist. Not within my budget, at least. I really shouldn't have so many ideals. Well, the point is, I DID find a dress that I liked enough, even though it did not fit every single criteria I wanted (such as a black sash or something to break the mo...
