This evening, as I was walking along the pathway leading to the school gate, I felt as if today was a day that I 'graduated' from the school. A nostalgic feeling. Haha..
After all, it was the beginning of the term break. Yes, the official term break declared by the ministry and not yours truly. Yes, life won't be so stressful for at least another month.
Yes, I managed to escape the MTP session. What did I do???? I continued with my lesson planning! Yay...!! 6 weeks of planning is on the way, at least I just need to find the resources as the plannings are done. It will be put in place perhaps for a few weeks or so should I be granted a place in NIE. If not, whatever that I have planned will be in full force. No harm.
Whatever it is, I am glad that this term is over!! It had been a roller coaster ride. And, come the new term.. I'll be sitting at a new workstation! If I am not going to NIE this July, I'll decorate the place. If not, forget it! Haha..

In my previous blog, I did post an entry about how my level of English have deteriorate and how my IQ level have been declining at an alarming rate. Yesterday, C's boss complimented me. He said I writes excellent e-mail. Me? I wanted to laugh my hearts out. He told me not to underestimate my linguistic abilities as I am good at both my English and Malay Languages. I am not underestimating my abilities, but I do realise that I am not as good as in the past when I could speak fluently and writes excellently. I used to score As in both languages up till Sec 4 when everything starts to go downhill. Partly because, I just hate my English teacher!
But, no doubt my English did improved when I start mixing around with those expats. It would have been embarrassing being caught speaking in atrocious English. Yes, I was practically speaking in Singlish when I first started; thanks to the time I spent with the a-bengs at my previous work environment.
Now, being 'confined' at my workstation did not do justice to the improvements that I have made. And, teaching Malay even worsens the already bad condition of my grasp for English. Yeah, my Malay isn't that fantastic anymore but its back on track. Seeing the kiddos papers, I could have easily scored full marks! How I wish my exams were that simple. Haha..
Whatever it is, I don't usually go around saying I am smart. Cos, I know I am not that intelligent. The 'smartness' in me is enough for survival sake. A friend often calls me a bimbo which I do not know why.. But, I like it when 'C' always say that I am a smart girl. I think, what attracted him to me was because I take pride in his country. *grins*
I guess, I am serious about him.. Today, I did the most nonsensical thing. I labelled my stationeries and files with the initial 'Ae'! A for me and E for him. E is his surname. So when its combined, we are AE! Not A&E wokay??!!
