Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am yours

(1) I haven't been hooked to something for a very long time. This time, I am completely captivated. That got me away from the Taiwan serial drama, 爱. That got my attention away from most things. That caused me to take the train in the wrong direction. All thanks to Santhi. Haha. She recommended and lent me My Sister's Keeper, by Jodi Picoult. Didn't catch the movie and I don't think I'd missed much because the author could narrate excellently! The climax came when I least expected it and yes, I cried too. Thank God I witness no such drama in reality. Thank God that I was meaningfully occupied while waiting to do my job during PSLE marking for four days.
(2) On impulse? With intent? No idea. Bought two other in two days. Am in love. Can't wait to start on House Rules and Change of Heart. What is next for my collection?
(3) Attended Uncle's ROM at his humble love nest. His wife is gorgeous. Next? His wedding dinner in November. Am elated for him... Now I have an auntie younger than me. Haa.
(4) Stella's getting married too! In November. Saw several of her wedding pictures - exotic. She has come a long wait. Glad that she found her love who dotes on her.
(5) Next year will be Marie's... =D
(6) Am over the moon because mum lavished on me a Bonia bag and purse. My most expensive bag and purse so far because I believe she knows that I will never splurge on them. Like a little girl, the gifts are extremely sweet when I am at the receiving end. Don't get me wrong. I know that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
(7) I want to question. On the other hand, I don't think I can handle the truths. Thus, I learn to accept and remain silent. It's pointless anyway to pursue the reasons. Go on, be happy...
(8) He makes me laugh. He makes me cry too. That is good enough.
(9) Marking will start tomorrow. Hopefully I can complete them and turn to Jodi again. Haa. Lesson plan is done for next week. Yeah! Wednesday's Nic's birthday but he has GESL and so we cannot possibly celebrate. Sad... =(
(10) Sarcasm. Anguish? Nonchalance? Disappointment? Mutual? Amnesia. Antidote.
(11) It is going to be a weird weekend. Nonetheless, I get to indulge a little. Welcome!
(12) The wind blows. The clouds move. The wind stops. The clouds continue.
(13) My neck is aching. So is my left shoulder. All thanks to PSLE marking. Being an educator has its health hazards too! Unbelievable but oh, so real! I miss my work station a little. Two days on course next week so I will miss my pupils too. Can't wish them all the best personally on the actual days of examination as I will not be in school. Be praying for them though.
Next?
The Cluster project.
And?
TLLM project.
Anymore?
Prize giving ceremony rehearsals.
Really?
Day camp.
Enough?
(14) It is already end of October. December is approaching. Where are the rains? The uninvited haze is a plague.
(15) Thank God for the opportunity to teach 4C and 5P. The former responses well to non-routine English lessons which I really enjoy teaching. The latter is a painful source of joy. =}
(16) Thank God for friends like Sin Yee and Karen. They are so real. Wish that we be in the same level next year...
(17) The principal from XXXX treated us like defiant kids. On the last day, the Operation Manager had to relay the message: Mr YYYY said that if you don't wait at the canteen, he will not release you. On the first day, he asked all the late comers to report to him after his talk. He commented that he wanted to know why they were late. I was almost late on the second day and I nearly risked my life to beat the red light. I didn't. Figured out that my life is worth more than his threats. If we were dissatisfied with the food served, we had to bear in mind that he was eating the same food as us. Yes, this reminder came verbally in a distasteful manner. We were warned to dress professionally because he did not want to send any one of us back home to change. I could go on... because I am a kid?

Haven't blogged for donkey years? Haha. Work is crazy. Didn't know that a teacher's life includes working on projects...
I love Skinny Pizza! This is the third I've tried and I will be back for more. My target? Try everything on their menu. LOL. I want to bring my family one day. Fortunately, they serve vegetarian pizzas so hopefully they will go down well with my mum.
Took a picture with two of my kakis from YTPS during our Teachers' Day Dinner...
Attended Kaixin's wedding and many colleagues were there. Didn't manage to get a picture of the bride because I was too far from her. Haa.
Yes, I was so intrigued by the layout of the sinks that I got Ashie to have a picture snapped with me. Crazy gals???
Time for dinner... Mum is calling...
