Classique!

They don't make chinese dramas like these anymore!







Listening those songs made my hair stand man! I think I should subcribe to Mobtv to view these old dramas again. I used to be able to play the last two songs on the recorder actually.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS! No internet, no handphones, no pagers, no MSN just simple fun!

From my archives" Are you old enough

It's all part of a grander plan

The Rascal Flatts has been ringing in my head for the past few days. It's V-day today. 14 Feb 2008, made some plans a few years ago to do something this day. But like I wrote in a previous post, some plans are better left unlaid. Almost forgot about it, till a few days when I was reading through my archives.

Came across this post while reading my archives. They say a broken heart sings the sweetest song. Well, that was a really long time ago, reading that made my hair stand a little. But I had to read the rest of it, that post only captured about one-half of the full poem, there are 13 more verses, but the rest will never be published. I really wonder where I got the inspiration to write like that.

I wish that somethings could be different. But it takes a good and young friend to tell me that she's celebrating singlehood today to remind me that there are other things in this world to work for. Like school. It's been really tough the last few days. I'm really touched by what some of the students fed-back to those in "high places", but I'm a "little" appalled at the response. I sometimes wonder how "grand" the plan can be.

Saw something interesting today. I am supposed to be teaching 5 classes this year. But when I checked one of the online data management systems, discovered 2 other classes under my name. In other words, I'm actually supposed to have 7 classes! More work! Project work I believe, which only starts next term. Looking at the classlists of those 2 classes, well, brought a smile to my face. I honestly don't mind adding 4 more periods to my timetable. Though it is already quite heavy!

Almost done!

Nice break.

CNY was a nice long 4 day break this year. Still can't beat the year when Chinese New Year and Hari Raya coincided, it was a very long holiday then! Too bad I was in NS. 

Those 4 days are probably more break I will get than the March holidays and the next break will be the June holidays. The year seems to be flying by too fast. 

How time flies

Time flies... it just goes right by and before you know it another year has passed. Getting considerably less and less angpows this year and getting more and more aunts asking me "the question". 

Well, was just thinking back at my old secondary school days just the other day. I keep wondering why students nowadays are so busy and why school ends so late. I don't remember having 2 recesses in a day or having to stay back late for CCA. 

School used to be double session, when I was in lower secondary at least. So no possibilities of early or late classes. School had to start at 12.30pm sharp and end at 6pm. 

School used to be on a 6-day timetable. So CCA was always on Saturday, we never stayed back on weekdays and we enjoyed coming back to school on Saturdays. In fact, we would gladly stay from 6.30am to 4pm on Saturdays just for CCA. 

Things changed in Secondary 3 when TK went single session. But school still ended relatively early, 2pm latest. I realise that we did not have a subject called Social Studies, so that knocks off a few periods off the timetable. 

Well, things have certainly changed. I wonder how all this helps students of this era, but I would certainly be tired by the above.
