1. I had a pretty challenging form class. They weren't naughty like hell, in fact, they were really nice girls but they were difficult & a little demotivated when it comes to getting serious in their school work. I don't know if I could have done more to make them more motivated. But otherwise, I know I tried my best for them.
2. Again, at work, I think I was pretty much covered in an avalanche most of the time. It's making me think very hard about what I'm doing - am I really going to have to be like this for the rest of my working life? Pretty tragic to think of it this way because it's depressing to have to feel tired everyday, physically & mentally. This is something I'm really thinking hard about, considering that I get occasional bouts of disillusionment when I ask myself why I am doing what I am doing. Otherwise, the people in my workplace are really nice & lovey-dovey & that makes living at the workplace so much better.
3. Seen my family twice this year. It's strange how I used to come back to Singapore during the summers while I was in uni to see them & now, I'm leaving Singapore to see them. It makes me wonder what things would be like if I hadn't come back to Singapore but found a job in England instead. Strange eh? I came back to Singapore because of them & now I've been left behind. ('Left behind' not in the abandon sense but like a role reversal thing)
4. And people, if you ever are wondering, I'm officially in the late 20s age group. I now have to tick another box when I fill up forms. Being single & fabulous at this age invites questions of all kinds & quite frankly, it comes to a point where it's just annoying for people to be so over-concerned. I say it loud & clear - not that I don't care about this nor not appreciate concern (but I certainly do not appreciate over-concern, otherwise known as being k-poh or overt busybodiness). In fact, it's nice that people think about my welfare where this is concerned but I think this is something I should pretty much look out & settle for myself. Afterall, it's my happiness & it's something I want to achieve & look for with my own heart.
5. I tried hard to ensure that I visit the gym at least twice a week for 90minutes each time. For most parts of the year, I succeeded but somehow, I don't look slim or whatever. Maybe I should think about my diet but then again, I'm not big on carbs & sugars. Time for nip/tuck? :p
The world suffered tragedy too. The tsunami, the London bombings, Pakistan earthquake, etc
have all been over-mentioned but this is not to say that I do not care about these things. What about those who wake up each day not knowing if their child can survive another day without food, or the farmer who has to pay ridiculous fees to the owner of the land to ensure that his family is fed & that his wife & daughters are safe from the monster of a landlord?
2006, I don't know. Part of me isn't looking forward to it because I know that work isn't going to be fantastic - with each new term, new things spring forth to be done. But at the same time, stepping into 2006 is probably going to be the most exciting thing because I don't really know what's coming up & that's the exciting part - to not expect anything. As I bid farewell to 2005, I'll step into 2006 & come what may, I know I'll survive & live to tell it in a year from now.
Happy New Year everyone! May 2006 be the best year of your life & that it will be one filled with memories you can take with you all your life!
