Fireworks and Crowds

I need to know why I made the decision to come to school n a schoo holiday just to do my lesson plans. I must be made model teacher of theyear. I came to school on a school holiday. Only the OSOs and Florence is around. None of the teachers are in school. No one. Not even P or VP. Not even the 'super-onz' of the school. I was bored today I guess. Jo's working anyway. And I have a weekly LP and an Obs LP to do. If I stay at home, I can safely bet with anyone in the world, I'll never get things done.

Ad after having lunch all alone in my 'office space', I went around the internet, typingout this blog. No, I haven't gotten anything started at all... Wahaha.

National Day hols... I waied for the fireworks on the eve but the fireworks never came. According to Ijah and Joyo, oh, they have it every year. Anyway, I can never understand why ayone can be fascinated with fireworks... Actually, I dun really get excited or anything of sorts if there are fireworks. Cept for the memories when I went out dating with Jo... we watched fireworks at the Esplanade. We were not 'officially together' yet. But it was sweet... That's about all the feworks memory I could think of..

As if sulking from the fireworks hoo-haa, we went Holland V last night. Out aim was to get away from the crowd as much as possible. Me and Jo, with Fiz and Shimmy went to chill out, with intention of eating ice-cream and prolly, perhaps, chill out at wala wala. But we didnt made it to walal-wala though.

On our way there, we realised that people (esp youths and kiddies) are flocking o the Esplanade to watch the fireworks. Thank God we didnt go there! It must've been India there!

Speaking of India, of all days, last Sunday, we went to LITTLE INDIA. No kidding, Little India lived up to the overpopulated India, the continent. The nationals were hanging around Mustafa,no, not shoppping, but basically standing ard to catch up with friends and stuffs. They gather in front of the entrances... My God, I was spinning already. Too many people!! How can they survive??!! I remembered clubbing days... I was put off if there was too many people in the club. I'd move out to another club or prolly go home early. No, crowds are not my thing...

Ok, back to work. Enough of babblings.....

Fatigue

Week 6. On Friday I just witnessed my kid throwing a chair on another kid. There was some hurling of vulgarities and yeah, I had to come and stop it, he retaliated. I have never been at the edge of hitting someone across the face as near as that. I was shivering in anger. I grabbed his shirt and tugged it so hard that the button on his shirt tore.. He was going out of hand. I told him to cool himself down while I do the same but he went after the guy who he hit with a chair. I was so mad I ran after him and pull him by the collar. Luckily Wong KK was around and KK helped me take him and cool him down while I brought the rest of my class for my PE lesson.

Later, we had a one-on-one talk. I wonder if what I say actually goes through his thick skull. If not, I guess I have to apply other ways...

Apart from discipline shits, I figured that I have lots to do.... Markings will never be done. I keep having to pile on when I already clear some. It'll never quite end.

Masy got engaged today and I anticipated everyone asking when my marriage would be. I have already prepared a template in my head, so as and when they wanna ask, its all figured out. Well done, Alfiah. So professional! Wahaha...

After which, I head down for buffet dinner with Jo's family. Buffet wasn't fantastic. But ok. Well, at least I gotta chat with Jo's mummy. I still feel intimidated. I kinda shy away or become overly conscious on saying something, so much so that by the time I wanna say something, the topic changed already. Unlike talking to his sister. It was smootha and fine. I gotta get this thing outta my head. Be natural, Fiah. Why are you becoming not yourself? I dunno. Its just the nerve.

I'm feeling the backache now... Tired. Sleepy.

But hey! Its a 2 day work-week for me next week!!!! Yeay! Happy Birthday Spore! You gave me a long weekend to rest. LOL.
