Realised today despite the manic days at work it's all worthwhile when i think of my students. They really light up your dull days sometimes.. ( and some days they can also turn it into dark clouds too..;) People have often asked me why I chose to become a teacher cuz they think like.. `did i not have a choice' or sthg like that. When I tell them it was MY choice it surprises them a bit. I loved English first. Was good at it, loved reading, writing, speaking.. and eventually I thought why not do something with what I'm good at. So teaching it was. And I don't think I'll ever look back.
Seven years ago we made a decision that changed our lives. My husband and I took in ( bought ) a 2 month old cat (from Penang) who at that time was a tiny one and could fit into my husband's pocket shirt. We named him Woody because of his colour and we never looked back. Since then we've breeded 10 of Woody's offsprings and 5 grandchildren. After several deaths, a disappearance and some giving away, only 6 remain with us. And they are indeed a sight for sore eyes, a source of comfort and joy and above all, our children . Can't imagine life without them.
