8 long years plus somemoresigned away 8 years of my life
belonging to MOE from now on
good and bad
its good that my uni education is being paid for
and that teaching is something that i enjoy
bad that this decision is very limiting
and its 8 years of belonging to
someonewell..still better than my elder sis:)
the decision i had to make was not a very easy one
at least not as easy as it was for say..erica
i admit that teaching has always been at the back of my head..
from the point i chose to drop a maths[ hence destined to arts forever]
i knew that this route was more or less inevitable
few choices left anyway
plus the fact that my mom was
actively advertising it
at the beginning..i struggled quite abit
not being sure whether it was my own desire to enter it
and i didnt want to go through uni with expectations
or having to limit myself to certain modules only..
i prayed quite alot
asking God to show the way
to make clear what HE wanted me to do
yet i never really felt assured[maybe i didnt listen hard enough]
sent in the applications..
went for the interviews..
waited..hoped..anticipated..
prayed somemore
got the award in the end and accepted it[despite what some advised]
my 'deal' with God was that if He was going to give it
i was going to be faithful to take it
i know what i am getting myself into
and i pray that God gives me the strength to go through
we can only see what the 8 years has install for me
-end-
visited the kindergarten yesterday
[for those who dun know..i worked in a kindergarten before pl]
so happy to see all the kids again:)
esp my dear klesa:))
the kids looked so puzzled when i walked in
well..i didnt expect them to remember me..
they are only 3 years old and i have MIA-ed for 4 months
one girl[shandy] did remember actually[one point for her;)]
klesa was a little cold at first
but she warmed up and started tugging at me everywhere
and showing off a new skill she learnt[duck walking:)]
so cute..
after that..she insisted on sitting on my lap during class
and kept trying to wrap her arm round my neck[think semi-hug]
i feel so loved:) i know its just kids lah
enjoyed playing with the other kids too[later you say i biased]
going back to help as and when i can
going to be busy from now on
drug challenge on tues [details/history were given in may]
vcf camp from tues to fri
uk trip from 8th to 20th
dun think i have enough clothes to last
or enough energy
but i will manage:)
so if you wanna 'book' me for anything..
make it after the 21st[and pray for no jet lag]
and after that its the start of uni
how exciting and daunting
till the next time
cheers:)
and break a leg to all the world cup fans
i prefer uninterrupted sleep though
