Recently, I'm bombarded with a lot of negative energy-hence, the few emo posts. If I can conclude how my early 2010 is, I pretty much can say that it sucked to the max. I just wanna sit at home all day and sleep.At least when I sleep, the problem will dissolve away, even for awhile.
Other than sleeping myself away, I should thank god for making my life busy.I joined an exclusive book club and am on my way finishing the 2nd book. So far, I love the book and I have to admit that it does ignite my passion for reading again. A passion that died during my 2 years stay in Australia because of workloads of assignments and commitment to societies and stuffs. In addition, I have a part-time job. Teaching English and Science for Year 6, Form 1,2 and 3 students. I earn not much but the experience and learning process that I value the most. Why learning? Simply because I have to read Science books again before every class. Yes, I need to refresh memories and know the content of my teaching.A teacher should not be an empty vessel and teach the students.
I also do mentoring without pay. I participated myself in the academic tutor thingy recently...and I got myself 2 juniors as my tutee(or mantee, depends which terms you use). Hurm, did I mention that me and my girls helped a bit with the blue house cheerleading team? I swore to myself not to go near those things again..but hey, I spoke too soon. We helped a few bits of their routine but that's the most of it. Those girls(and guy) pretty much doing good on their own.....
..and as I'm writing this post, I actually have to go and prepare lunch already. Some of you already heard the story of how the maid ran off with her bf recently, jumping the ship, leaving us on our own. Now, I'm the part-time maid, serving ,my mum and dad this 1 week holiday. I do almost every housework in the house.Sweep/mop the floor, prepare bfast/lunch and dinner, look after mum's plants, look after the cat..and the list goes on. I so can feel that the domestic goddess in me is unleashed. My mum asked me yesterday whether she should employ a new one and this is my reply "There's no need.I do the housework 10 times better than the maid.Hurmph," and my dad just laughed as I did my second round of mopping.
From what I can conclude, keeping busy is the best way to take your mind off things. Definitely. When I tutor people and such, I learn a few things as well. Like, I HAVE to learn Science all over again every single Sunday and I learnt not to open the front door when the cat is outside the cage. Life is one learning process. Life-long learning.Haha, I'm talking rubbish now. Must be the side effects.
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
