![]() My plan to act stupid worked. For the first time, yesterday I raised my voice at my boss for being unreasonable. We were in an argument. I realised that I have not gotten my pay yet for this month so I was trying really hard not to scream my heads off. It was tough! I was like a volcano that was going to explode but couldnt! So I made faces, give her the 'I cant be bothered' look in my effort to annoy her. You know how sometimes when you talk to teenagers and they dont argue back but they give you the 'whatever' look? That was what I did. She seems mad and she even blurted out "Your attitude stinks!". Haha. Funny. No one has ever said that about me. Well, I am done being a good girl. Ok it does sucks when someone thinks you are trash I must admit. But coming from her doesnt matter because she treats everyone like trash. I figured there was no point in being nice to people like her. And it does make me worried. Mostly, I worry about my colleagues and the kids, how they are going to continue with this fight when I am gone. After all, I am the 'attitude' worker there. LOL. What is it with girls and the crying thing?? It still baffles me till today how I got myself infected with it. I usually dont get teary too easily, what have you guys done to me??!! I was packing my things and cleaning my desk yesterday. I let everyone do their own thing, and some of them requested drawing paper from me so that they can draw something for me to keep. 3 boys did drew something and on each paper, even though they drew different things, there was one sentence that was the same in all the papers. 'I will miss you.' I will miss you too my little darlings. I think I was handling the day well, but the point that I could no longer held my tears back was when Kak Nor announced that it was my last day and if anyone wanted to say anything to me, now is the time to do it. Immediately some of them, I would say most of them, came to me and started hugging me. I was shocked and that was when my eyes started watering. Argh! I hate crying in front of the kids! But then Kak Nor started crying as well and thats when everything just went out of control. The kids were hurrying out as they had to leave for dance practice and my boss was there hurrying them even though she can see CLEARLY that some of the kids just wanted a little time to say goodbye. I dont think she was very happy that I am close with the kids. Well duh! I have been teaching some of them for more than 3 years! There seems to be a lot of things to be packed. I guess being there for years, I have accumulated so many junks including some I rarely used. I placed them all in a box to be given away along with the so many toys I have confiscated from the kids. When I started working there a few years back I realised that very few kids have a reading habit and therefore I made a promise to myself to educate the young minds about the wonderful joys of reading. So a few months ago, I brought to work my book collection from my teenage years, RL Stine books and some books from other authors. I have wrapped and preserved my books well all these years, just some of the pages are a little yellowish and thats something I cant stop. I mentioned to them that most of the books are more than 10 years old and that every book deserve to be taken care of. I also held a book review writing competition. The response was great. Within weeks some of the students came back for more books in exchange for the book that they have finished reading. I must say I am so proud of them. Some who were a little weak in reading were also in full enthusiasm to borrow the books. I am so proud. I may have succeeded in cultivating a reading habit in them. At least for now. My work here is done. I am in the process of writting this poem. It is specially dedicated to my kids. It is specially dedicated to my kids. I will put it up here when it is complete and when everyone promise not to steal my works. Burger Boy Chris has been experiencing some people stealing his creative writing works. Copying and pasting others works and claiming it as your own is STEALING! What is with these past few days? The aura or something in the air must be bad. All the stress, the anxiety, the cursing, plus I have been losing 8 straight battles in BOTB challenges! I even lost to someone with a record of 4 wins, and 17 losses! I dont mind losing to the awesome blogs but losing to this kind of records? Hmmm...maybe I have a hate club or something. Haha. As you can see, The Artist is gone, and my space it up for rent again. I shall be putting her in my permanent blogroll, just like my past awesome renters. I hope things do turn out for the better. Diamond Kumar told me last night that its ok to fall. Its better to fall forward. Whats important is to get back up faster than when I fall. I am bouncing back up! See more Motivation Posters at www.motivationposters.com/free |
