The past few days have been full of ups and downs... happy and unhappy incidents occurred to me both at work and at home. Let me talk about the happy moments at work first (I won't venture into the unhappy events at the workplace... I shall keep my mouth zipped cos of issues related to professionalism, as mentioned in my first entry). A girl from my previous class who hated her new form teacher and spoke bad of her loudly behind her back told me that she has recently decided to change for the better and not provoke the new teacher again. When I asked her why, she said it's cos I spoke to her the other day and advised her to be a good girl and stay outta trouble. She stated that it was because of me that she refused to join some troublemakers in her class when they went against that teacher. She even proudly declared to her peers that she didn't wanna be like them cos 'Mrs L says I should be a good girl.' How's that? Hee... was very touched and happy at the same time cos I was actually able to make a difference and make a positive impact on a sweet but headstrong teen who could have gone rebellious. :) Also, many of my kids from my previous form class have been dropping by my class and also telling me they miss me. Sigh. I miss them all too actually. They were such a great class... so many wonderful personalities. Ok, now skip to unhappy events. I don't really wanna go into detail cos I don't like to remember unhappy things, especially those that happened at home. Just that Hubby and I had a hiccup earlier in the evening and then he left for work with us both feeling unhappy still. He's not back yet but I've sort of cooled down already and am now just feeling sorry that it all had to happen. Just a minute ago, I SMSed him telling him I'm sorry. I just hope when he sees the SMS later after work, he'll feel better. A relationship can't be all smooth-sailing. People are different after all, and they have different expectations and perspectives, so some kind of conflict is inevitable. But of course, at the end of the day, I would like the conflict to end up positive and make us understand and appreciate each other better. I know I do, cos I know I treasure him enough to wish that the argument had never taken place. Sigh.
Sigh again. Like I said, tomorrow I'll still have to return to work. Must reach the workplace at 7.30am, which means I won't get a chance to catch up much on my lost sleep. I've been sleeping an average of about only 5 hours each night since I started work last week. Very bad. No wonder feel a bit grumpy today. I guess it's all accumulated.
I shall now proceed to finish some admin work then go sleep asap. Can't afford to lose too much sleep tonight. Tata now, bloggy.
