No more school starting from today! Happiness!
Weeee....! Except that I've forgotten to bring back that stack of compo & I have to call a parent up to remind her of her appointment with the VP on Monday. So it seems like I'm heading to school on Friday. Bummer! Well, at least I don't have any CCA to go for. Should I make a date with Mum for lunch then? I've a dinner date that day with my colleagues though... Sometimes I get so sick of eating. Seriously, we seem to take food for granted here. And the fact that the refrigerator is always packed with chocolates, cookies, munchies, ice-cream & more junk, I'm always munching. Sighz.


Anyway, I'm real hyped up these days. There's so many new movies coming up! The last movie I caught was Blade of Glory a few nights ago. So gay. I like! Hehehe. The review for Pirates of the Caribbean stated that it sucks so I'm contemplating if I should go watch it. I'm not such a huge fan although I caught the 2 prequels. It didn't make any impression on me. But he's keen on watching it since we've caught the 2 movies & he has to know the ending.


But I really wanna catch Srek 3 *squeals!* & Ocean's 13 *droolz*. Haha. Shrek's super cute, a must watch & I'll watch anything that starrs Brad Pitt. I sound like a star-struck teen. Heh.


Oh... & I gotta start packing. Leaving next week. I'll miss him for sure...
If only he could join us in this trip...
Wouldn't that be great?
*Sighz*

I bought it! I didn't even wait for GSS to start. So now, I'm pretty much broke. Try super broke. Haha. Nothing left to spend on during the sale. I didn't wait for the GSS cos it wouldn't be on discount. So what's the point of waiting? I got it yesterday when I was out with Mum. I can't believe I signed for that large an amount but I did. But... I'm happy with my purchase. & that's all that matters, right? But I can't look at the amount in my bank account when I have to settle the credit card payment. It's too depressing. The decrease in numbers.


I can't sleep after subuh prayers, again. So I settled my statistics instead. Anyway, Mum's done the spontaneous trip thingee again. She decided to go for a break, settle everything & off we go, in less than a mth of preparations. I'm looking forward to a break too. Being here is simply too depressing. I can't wait for the school term to end.


NIE training is commencing soon. It's great cos I need a breather from this school. But looking forward to the training is another issue altogether after hearing horror stories bout it. & I'm not fond of the location & the institution it's situated at. Yikes! But that's life. Somehow, you just have to swallow everything in order to succeed.


Oh & guess what?
After yesterday, I'm really, really looking forward to the MY bonus in July...
Sighz.

I'm so thankful that Friday's finally here. I've been marking my ass off this whole week. Exam marking week. THAT ended yesterday. Today was the computation of marks on all the blardy systems. I still have to complete the item analysis for Math & Science. Why the rush? Cos the level's meeting with the P & VP on Monday. The amount of workload we had this week... My back's aching from all the markings done. Been working in school till late since Wed. I have yet to input the remarks in the cockpit. Aaargh... I can't wait for this term to be over. Post-exam period has got to be the worst time... Ever.


I just realised that this Sunday's Mother's Day. Hmmm... more foodie session I guess. & I really can't think of any other place to dine. Sighz.


Earlier this week, I received an invitation from my student to her birthday party at some country club at an unknown place which I have to go but I have errands to run on that day & I can't turn down her invite. The whole class's turning up & they're expecting my presence. Oh, why does it have to be so far? Rich kids ar...


I'm so fucking hungry right now. I've not had a bite since this morning unless u count the breakfast I had before I left home for school. I'm super famished... Dinner's in an hour's time. Can't wait! & I have that class at the mosque tonight. Guess I better have my rest. I'm so fucking tired. But I'm so fucking happy the week's over! Yeah!

Where have you gone?

I wanna go away...

I was right. I couldn't get up for school this morning. I slept late the nyte before due to the pain so I couldn't get up at 5.30 when the alarm rang.


My head's spinning
Boy, I'm in a daze...


Haha.. Lyrics to a song I once loved. So paid the doc a visit, got my MC & the medication deemed needed. Got the compos marked.
Not feeling so lethargic now that the menses is here. Feeling a lot better in fact.


Anyway, I got a call from an old friend. He used words and expressions that I don't understand. Like,


Dia (ex-gf) berakkan aku. Dia pegi pat mat rempet(?) / mat reb(?).


I'm like what's mat rempet? I can't even spell it out. & what's mat reb? I've never heard of these expressions in 23 years of my life. I was just hmmmm-ing all the way cos I can't understand half the things he said. & after some time, I finally figured out that 'berakkan' means dumped him. Why can't he use normal phrases? Left me in a daze with all his expressions.


Alrightey, gotta do some stuff...

The mystery as to why my body has been aching for the past I dunno how many days has been solved. The menses is here and after so long of not giving me cramps, it's pretty bad today. To be truthful, it was excruciatingly painful. I felt like dying in school. Couldn't sit, stand. Basically, no position is comfortable. And I vomited. Nothing out of the ordinary. I saw stars. All I wanted was to go home. It's a good thing he's not working. I called him up to fetch me cos I simply couldn't drive home. I suffered with the pain for about 2 hours. & to think I've popped in the pill. It only got much better when he came over to fetch me home. But still feeling woozy. Slept throughout the whole afternoon but now, the pain is back to torture me.


How can I mark compo in this situation? I'll end up failing them I think. & I'm pretty strict with my marking so having cramps will make it worse. Haha. Think I'll just have to postpone it till tomorrow. I don't wanna jeopardize anyone. But seriously, when you see some of their scripts, you wonder what they have learnt in their 3 years in school. Writing stimulates creativity & I have to say it's the best component in English. Write well people! I hated compre when I was in school. Okay, make that secondary school. Or was that for GP? I can't remember. Cos the given passages were so fucking dry. Essay's the best, appreciate that kiddos. But I don't deny that there is a handful who can write really well. 3 full pages without leaving lines in between with minimal mistakes, excellent use of expressions; interesting read. I gave her 19 out of 20. Really impressive. I wish there were more students like her.


Hmmm... I feel like having chocolate. & the only kind available in the fridge right now is the chocolate bar. No nuts I think. I'm really craving for almond rocher from Sins or any of those choc bars. Is there anyone out there who's kind enough to satisfy my craving? I know he'll kick up a fuss everytime I get those chocolates from the choc bars cos the price's pretty stiff. If I'm up & kicking tomorrow, I may get them. Somehow, I doubt so. About the up & kicking.


Being a girl is tough. Don't you agree?

Imagine having to write remarks for 35 girls for their report slips! I am so fucking drained. I spent 2 hours writing on them, thinking of all their positive characteristics. Example,


A jovial student who contributes actively in classroom discussions, so-and-so portrays a positive attitude towards learning and always strives to improve in her subjects by taking the initiative to ask whenever she is in doubt...etc...


even though the only thing that I can remember her by is her non-stop chatting! Although the above is true about her as well. I realise that my remarks are almost a paragraph for each student! Haha. Surprising when I really have no idea about what to write about a few of them. Well, I've managed it and I'm glad it's done. It's my first time writing their remarks so it's pretty taxing. As you can see, I've to write about their positive attributions only.


SO THAT'S SETTLED! Yayness!


Anyway, I had a great time yesterday with the darling fiance and his family. I realised that I didn't quite have that intimidated feeling I used to have around his dad. Thanks for dinner Uncle and Aunty! Then we left to spend time on our own. Headed down to Mustaffa to get my hair product and deodorant but I ended up buying shower gel and shampoo. This always happens. He said it's probably a curse. Everyone who steps in seems to buy things that they don't plan to get. Haha.


I am so drained today. Woke up tired cos I got in late this morning. And typing out the remarks made me even more tired. Brain-drained. Gotta have my rest...

I'm in a mad frenzy of marking non-stop. I should probably install a battery into my arms so that they'll mark non-stop. Oh the agony!


So what have I been doing so far? Been too quiet for too long now...
I got the Sony Ericsson k550i courtesy of Kak Ina, a videocam courtesy of Mum and a pair of CK shades from the fiance. I absolutely adore my gifts! Thanks once again!


I've had so many things to blog about the past few weeks... like about the bitchy driver I had an encounter with. No prizes for guessing the gender of the driver. Fucked up driving equates to you-know-who. I'm not getting myself all riled up again by talking about it.


On to a much more cheery and exciting note, I think I may have just found THE ONE for my wedding photography! Haha... Still early I know but I simply love their work! Both of us in fact! I felt like signin up for it on that very same day... But of course I didn't although it was fucking tempting I tell you! But there's still more homework to be done for the bridal services like making appointments and viewing the outfits, check out other bridal boutiques cos so far I have only seen one that impressed me. And it came with a reasonable offer. We're gonna do that sometime soon I guess cos it's already May! He wants to take a look at the outfits too so that's great. I can't stand guys who just chuck everything to their partners. It's as if the only one tying the knot is the girl.
And the type of wedding favours that I want is pretty much settled I guess. I really like it... I just need to do the budgeting cos it's a lil pricey. Haha. I'm left with finding a suitable venue for the event cos we need to taste the food served. Mum said we'll do so soon. Cos there's a few places in mind and we need time to pick out the right place and food.
So things to do: check out the bajus and the venue (& food).
Yayness!
Now, I don't mean to be Bridezilla but anyone would get excited over preparations for a wedding, right?
I plan to carry out the mission of scouting for bajus in full force during the June hols cos God knows that's the only fucking free time that I'm granted with. Cos I really hope to settle the choices by latest early next year. And time is not something that I'm granted with when I'm in this field of work. So the earlier I start, the less headache I'll get. I am so fucking excited I wish the exams were over and done with by now so I can start scouting tomorrow! Hah!


Gonna write down the things I have in mind before I forget them.
And marking? Who has the mood to mark when I've got a wedding to plan!
