im looking forward to next weekend. because it's labour's day. i think we all have to work to appreciate the purpose of labour's day. i've been working for almost a month. im looking forward to my paycheck. haha. all the nasty tax forms have been giving me many painful paper cuts. i can feel myself draining away on fridays.. with my little "mini-promotions", i can feel the pressure and workload building on me. but im glad im learning something new, doing something meaningful. at least it really feels like work. unlike those temp staff at the call centres or those stapling or folding letters job.. i feel more useful. more appreciated. more "highly-regarded". at least i didn't take O levels and A levels for nothing.
i kinda miss teaching. i always feel so sad when the school calls me and i got to turn them down. i miss my favourite student. sigh. maybe i will do some relief teaching again in july. meanwhile i shall just stay in my iras job. novena square and united square are quite "happening". haha.

i haven't fell so sick for a long time. had fever on thurs night.. and i went to see the doc on fri. took a day's mc. the doc diagnosed that it was mild stomach infection. which probably was the case since my sis-in-law got it last week. i haven't been excersing and getting enough rest. and i guess working at the iras does help to bring my immunity level down to zero. i felt super weak.. and even blacked out twice. the doctor advised me to sleep it away.. and that was exactly what i did for the past 2 days.
this "sago" really got my mum worrying. she was commenting on how im gonna survive alone when i go overseas to further my education. this shouldn't be an exucse for her to not let me go overseas. i guess i would really have to start building up my immune system now. i should really pick up a sport.

today's my first day of work at the iras. thankfully i wasn't posted to the call centre or some ultra boring department. the good thing is my department practices the 5 day week policy.. but the bad thing is i got to work from 8am to 5.30pm. that's really long.. and 8am is really early. that means i got to take the bus together with the students.. and be stuck at bukit timah road for 15 mins. crap. i hate jams. i guess i will spend the next few days experimenting and figuring out the most efficient way to get to novena.
anw.. rulang primary called me to go relief today. man.. why didn't they call me yesterday. i really like relief teaching.. coz the pay is good.. and the kids are SOOO cute. i miss my favourite student =(
i just spend my first paycheck to book my next driving test. damn. it's gonna take me quite awhile to forgive myself. i must work really hard now. im such a big spender. crap. ok.. i need to make money to book more driving lessons and for winter shopping. ok.. i should find another job. anyone needs tuition?
