Locked / Saturday, September 22, 2007 @ 10:35 PM
I chose the locked heart because I thought that my heart is still locked and nobody including myself has been successful unlocking it. The very recent events in school involving an old man has even locked it further. Now, I remain cold, almost cold hearted but I dont seem to have to wear this mask anymore. I am becoming this mask I wear.
Oh well. Life moves on. I apologize if I have been away. It has been hectic, as always but this week I thought I had a more challenges than usual.
Monday was a great start to the week as we were at the Nurtilite workshop. Even though what has been said is nothing new to me, I wonder how long the I can stay being on a good diet. I have been telling myself to go on a low fat diet for 10 freaking years but something must be missing that I am not getting the results. I wonder what.
The good news is, I believe that I can never get any fatter than now if I am to remain working in the school. There is just so much movement in the school and the school canteen food is so limited. Recently my school has been hard at work trying to get into the silver category. About 25% of the boys are overweight and due to that, there is a limitation for teachers regarding what to give as rewards. Sweets and snacks are almost banned and I have a feeling they are going to take away the 1 day they allow the canteen vendors to have fried food. I also just realised that the school does not have chicken wings. It is banned in the school.
I am all for healthy lifestyle and all, trust me. I have been to countless Nutrilite workshops the past years so ask me anything about supplement and vitamins. However I do feel that by restricting the kids too much, the kids are most likely to rebel. If I were a child, I would feel so suppressed that I would just go out to the shops outside the school to buy the sweets, snacks and chicken wings. I still think we are missing on the real education. Health education periods are so theoritical that the kids cannot see a link between text and reality.
Nevertheless, after the hectic happenings of Monday and Tuesday, I was not well on Wednesday and it costed me 1 night of excitement at function. Thursday was a recovery day and it is truly my busiest day since I have classes from 8 am right up to 3 pm. I was so exhausted that I just lied down in my class to catch forty winks.
Friday was the worst! IIt started in the morning with the PWD team eating breakfast in front of me during meeting. Cat has also conveniently brought this bread pudding that looks so delicious. Oh man, I was really challenged! In the afternoon was another different story.
I thought replacing 1 parent as volunteer at the LSP day was a good deed that I would want to remember. However, I got sucked into playing the Phonics Hunt, a game like the Amazing Race and I had to run around with the kids under the hot sun! At the end of the day, I was feeling so dehydrated and thirsty. Plus, I had to run in the telematch just so that my team could win. (We didnt win by the way). Why in the world are we the ones running?? The kids should be the ones running! They can drink water.
Anyway, I helped Navin read the feedback form because as you know he is a non reader. There was one question that asked whether they made any friends or not. He ticked no. I asked him why and he said he does not know.
After that running around, my right feet was giving me problems again and this time, I was practically limping. I went home in a cab, the second time this week.
The good news about this week is that my speech is finally done. After letting June vet it, I requested my principal to vet in one more time and guess what? She said that it was so good she wants to put it at the school website! I was stunned. Anyway I did told her that it was again, a team effort as June had made my simple speech extraordinary and I owe her coffee for that.
I hope this week will be better. I had already send Samina and Kankan an email informing them that I will be calling them this week. I just hope that I have enough energy to call them before I start sleeping like a log by 10pm.
My condolences to Naf too, regarding her Nyai. Be strong, stay strong because life itself is a cycle of birth and deaths. Do join me in contributing Al-Fatihah to her Nyai.

Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.
