Class of 2011.

i am super duber uber envious of those who are pursuing further studies after polytechnic. my heart sinks whenever i'm at this topic with friends. it sinks ever deeper when i thought of myself having no degree. why can't i be smarter or richer?

sometimes i feel upset with the righteous & sensible part of me, i never like to rely too much on my family's financial support because i am trained from young to think for my mum. although things have changed a little for the better since siblings started working, but the habit of me being thrifty never changed. i'm always poor.

i am set on my goals now. i want to strive hard and work hard when my teaching career officially starts on 1 August. i will start carrying my own financial burdens as soon as i can, and to lead the life i have in mind. it is not easy as thought, but i will try my best. i want and i will pursue my degree certificate when i've earned my own school fees, who cares whether i'm an old student or not by then. i don't know if my mind will change in future, but for now... i'm set.

one of my students fell hard today and hit his head with a loud bang, because of one mischievous student who extended his leg so that he can cause the other to trip & fell. brought to nearby clinic, and then A&E. i did not witness the act but i was worried and at the same time, observing how the experienced teachers handle the case.

i was absent from work today and when i returned to work today, the students came after one another and asked "miss tang, why you never come yesterday?" i was happy to hear that question, because they never ask in the past when i was absent. today... they asked me. i still received the hug from my P1 kid when i fetched them today. sometimes, it's comforting to have sensible kids.
