holidays holidays!

It's holidays time!! This hols feels a little bit more "lonely", cos i seem to be one of the few with a break. 工作的工作, 读书的读书... This hols feels abit more fulfilling though :) Have set up(almost) my classroom for next year, from scratch. Honestly, i didn't expect it to be so much work, so many details to watch out for, and took so many days just to do up the stuffs. And i still have other details yet to complete, zzzzzz... Am looking forward to taking my own class, though I can already foretell that it wont be an easy job. But at least, i will have more freedom and say when doing things, i guess. Though I will definitely miss the partnership with TJ, and her tutelage. But well, as she said, it's not like i' m moving super far away! Just 2 rooms down, ahahaha. Managed to watch "You are the apple of my eye", which i have been wanting to watch since hearing raving reviews about it! I'm not a movie person, so i tend to be more particular about the movies that I watch. Not that they have to be Oscar-winning good, but as long as they can let me enjoy the 2 hrs sitting in the cinema, that's good already! But anw, the show did turn out to be rather good, though thr were quite abit of irrelevant parts. Hahah, the time should have been spent on the lead characters, nicer mah! Love the bittersweet storyline though! Managed to meet up with some groups of friends, though there are still more to be met!! Ever since most of the people around me started working, I realise how difficult it is to organise a gathering that everyone can make it. Some people just have to be "sacrificed" at times. But now I know, it's really wiser to just GO AHEAD with the meetup regardless of the attendance, cos if u wait, it's really going to take forever. It's better to at least be able to catchup with some friends, than none at all. Have also FINALLY made plans for korean classes, and braces!! Will just be going for a consultation for my braces, but that's definitely one step further ahead, phew! Just have to settle dance classes, and i'm all set for 2012! :) Will be going on Royal Carribean cruise next week, and then followed by Bintan after that. Have been looking SO forward to a getaway, to take a breather from Singapore!! I think everyone needs a break like this once in a while, and i've been waiting for mine. A good time to recharge my batteries, power up for the new year!! Don't really like packing, so mafannnnn! Especially for longer trips, so many details to take note and many things to bring. Hope I won't forget to bring anyth >.< Oh yes, got a pay raise wef november! :D Was kinda surprised about it, but still very thankful. I know what I'm getting is still peanuts compared to friends who are also working, but it doesnt get that bothering after awhile. I KNOW what i'm doing, I ENJOY what i'm doing, and that's what matters. And I also get perks that others don't have, so what is the point of comparing? Looking at one's salary to determine one's status/value in the society, is completely crap. and sad. I believe there are many other things that we should live for, not just money. But that aside, MONEY is still important la, i know hahah. I still have my own "salary goal", that I will DEFINITELY achieve at some pt of time in life, just not now, yet. Now I'm still in the accumulate experience and knowledge stage. My aim gets blurred at times, and I start to doubt myself at times, but at my current stage, i know this is where i want to be. Just hope that I can develop well into this line as time passes :) Been a long time since i've typed out such a long post! and it's time for bed. Going back to school tmr to help out; they are going to Health Zone for an outing. Will be fun!! Hahah goodnight world!
