Musings

me, the chocolate lover..

What's up with this sadness and all..? Have been teaching for almost 11 years and should now be used to this. I conclude am not really sad. Just hope to be remembered.. But why? I have hundreds of students who I've taught before and are not in touch with me. And life has gone by just fine. So, enough of this. It's kindof pathetic really..

This same time last year I said `goodbye' to my students in class. Did that again last week but minus the `drama'. It hit me hard last time for some reason and glad i didn't have to endure such `pain' like before this time round. Maybe I'm learning to take things as a natural process, no matter how attached I have gotten to some.. Maybe I'm not that close to some of them this year.. Maybe I'm shutting off the feelings of sadness to see them leave.. Some relationships last even after we part and some don't. That's normal I tell myself on days when I think I've been forgotten by them. Soon, this batch of students will start leading their lives in another part of the world and may eventually forget me too. And I should not be upset about that. I should just pray that they lead good and meaningful lives and be proud to know that I was once a part of their life. For now, it's still not goodbye yet..

My one week of hols was spent quite well I have to say.. 4 days in Hong Kong (2 days of travel.. :p) was great and got to chill with Julie even tho hubby and I went sight-seeing on our own.. It's been a while since I travelled to another country and seeing how people lead their lives in another place is most often an eye opener.. one thing is they walk really fast and the women are so stylish.. - those I saw in the MRT that is. And the trains are plenty, on time and so efficient! What a far cry from what we have here in Msia.. Maybe if we had another extra day (and some extra cash) we would have gone a bit further around HK.. but there's always a next time.. :) Besides that, this holiday has also again brought me online a lot, facebook mostly.. I'm trying to not be too hooked on it but its hard.. Sadly, reading other ppls status seems to be the highlight of my day at times.. haha.. Am also pretty aware that the things u write on fb may be construed differently so one has to...
