Bad with names

Im bad with names. Not just at remembering them but equally bad at pronouncing them.

Kesarah became Key-sarah (shld be 科-sarah)

Nigel became 你-教 (shld be 奶-ger)

Im sure that there will be lots more to come.

Relief teaching 101

First impression matters.

Do not smile, do not look friendly. Give your best RBF.

The end.

Resolutions 2017

Dear Miss Yen as at end 2017,

When you read this, i hope i am gone and you are doing a better job being me and being yourself.

I hope that you have went for/ going for/ enjoying the long awaited winter holiday.

I hope that your bank account will not be any worrying factor as at end 2017 unlike at end 2016 when you can only go window shopping. Have your bought that pair of earrings that you wanted yet?

I hope that your weight loss (if any) is permanent and not technology lies. Did you manage to exercise twice a week as i planned to?

At this point of time - after sending off half your students, it is normal to start feeling stress out and worrying about 'bringing food home' for the next few months. Do not be discouraged, instead take time out and spend it with friends that you have not been meeting due to the 'working weekends'.

Have you went on a trip with the parents yet? You have been planning one for ages and its time to execute one this year.

Lastly, how about the land travel that you have been researching since CS days? When will you be going? Remember, it is not about the destination, the journey matter more.

Darcy has been on e-coller for the major part of the year. Is the itch at his hind paw better? He has been sleeping more and more in 2016, i reckon its more due to boredom than tiredness. Does he still love Bishan Park as much? Or just being out of the house enjoying the breeze downstairs while people watching?

Remember, he only has you. Spend more time with him, bring him out for more walks and brush his teeth often.

Take care and be a better one.

Best Regards
Miss Yen from 2016
