today

today i got a lot of things to prepare for tom. so shall keep this post short. a friend arrived in S'pore today, called me at the airport. but i was in staff room, feeling lots of stress and constraint..so didn't really give a warm welcome to him. hm...feel quite bad. but anywhere, friends are coming and leaving (perhaps more leaving) during this super bz period of mine. mixed emotions and i don't even have time to spend with my dear friends. i must find time. for them. for myself.

thank GOD for one more observation down. don't know how i did. i'm not optimistic about it..but who cares? as long as i pass :) i hope!

oh yah, i learnt that one of my boys dropped out of school. even though he did create trouble for me initially (his is more of the annoyance type rather than defiant kind), i feel quite sad to hear that. perhaps u would think that it would be good for me to have one less trouble-maker in class. (on a pragmatic note, yes, i see that). sigh. Looking at him as an individual, i just have a sense that he is not beyond hope. i mean, i know theoretically, no one is beyond hope. But what i sense is hard to explain in words. that's how i feel towards many people in my T class, just that as a class they 'reinforce' one another. i hope, i really hope the best for them. just that maybe i don't come across as that to them.
