Never Ending

I thought that after all my observations, I have a chance to relax a bit. Do a little less work everyday.

BUT! I forgot 1 major thing! Exams starts next week! And I have not even started on revision!! I thought I have 1 more week to do revision but I didn't factor in the other subjects. The exams will take up my Maths periods. Argh! Super stress!!

So many students, so many parents, so many teachers to account to.... Think my cough and cramps will only stop after my practicum.

Too stress?

I don't know why I keep thinking about him. Too stress maybe. Wish I could stop.



(Maybe he is married. Isn't thinking about him a waste of time and energy?)

Good or Bad?

I can't believe I actually broke down in front of my supervisor on Friday. It was pretty embarrassing.

I am a big crybaby. Crying and crying all the time.


Heard a news on Friday which was something I didn't expect at all. I don't know whether it is a good or bad news. Hopefully, something good can come out of this.


Like what I told my supervisor, "I just want to be happier."

Hamster

Do you know that hamsters have pouches in their cheeks for them to store food? Here's a funny video about a hamster stuffing a carrot half its size into his own cheeks. Cute.

Excuse me, you are Miss... Mrs... Mdm... ??

One of the problems I face at work is the salutations of the females! I don't understand. There is no problem addressing a man. He is always a "Mr", "Mr" Tan, "Mr" Foo, "Mr" Quek, "Mr", "Mr", "Mr"! No confusion. But when it comes to the ladies...

1) Young ladies - Naturally, we call her "Miss" something.

2) Middle Age to Old ladies - Most likely she is a "Mrs" something.

You think the world is so clear cut?!

3) Young but married - "Mrs" something.

4) Young but married but still want to use her own maiden sirname - "Mdm" something

5) Young but married but still want to use her maiden sirname but find "Mdm" too old -"Miss" something

6) Middle-Old but are single - Still "Miss" something

7) All used-to-be married - Once "Mrs" something, now "Miss" something.

8) Elderly but don't want to use "Miss" - "Mdm" something

(Insert your own vulgarities; I'm trying to stay vulgarities-free) ISN'T IT CONFUSING??!!! I can't possibly ask someone whether she is married or single or divorced when she introduces herself right?? Grrr....

Bloody... (Oops, don't think this is a vulgarity right?) Why can't the saluatations be as simple and straightforward as the guys? Why do we need to differentiate between the married ones and the singles? I don't see that happening to the guys.

Whatever... I'm going to call all the ladies, whom I have never met before, "Excuse Me" from today onwards.

Trust

One of the headlines for the local news these days is about the head of Ren Ci Hospital, monk Ming Yi, being charged for mis-using the funds raised for the hospital. I am so disappointed when I saw the news.

Through this incident, it has proven to me once again that money can corrupt a person. It doesn't matter whether a person is known as upright or honest. Everyone of us has a "number". For some of us, a few thousand is enough to corrupt us. For others, maybe more. But eventually, when the amount is reached, we will turn away from the correct path. This has proven true in the Ming Yi's case.

This incident has teached us not to trust religious leaders wholeheartedly. They are only human. And a human heart is weak.
