last nite the 4 of us went in search of the durian (i keep having difficulty speeling the word - durian or durain?) went from balestier to serangoon. 3 durians plus mangosteens -- $50. life is so simple. it's a matter of wanting something, getting it, and then go back to sleep.
and then of cos the other talk of the day was the girl who died after spending 8 hours with her lap top. daph says stress could be self-induced. i think we are never too sure of anything. the worst of it all was that the boss said she was not over-worked. so the moral of the story: either you don't work, or you work and tell your boss you're working very hard.
exams are over and marking is done. terrible results, worst in 10 years. it's like a all-time low. but the sad thing is, i'm not even that sad or disappointed. many people has come and expressed their opinions about me wanting a change. i'm really interested to know how people make decisions. how do they do it?
i think i need some intellectual stimulation, in a fun way, like "friends". anyone has "ally mcbeal"?

I was having dinner yesterday with 2 of my bosses. One of them mentioned that his wife used to work with the education ministry. And having worked there, she said she will not want her kid to grow up in the system. What is fundamentally wrong? I grew up in the system, and I think it has served me well.
Maybe it is the lacking of a holistic education that you mentioned before, everyone is to singular in their academic goal, and lost the whole education mission. Maybe just take it easy, maybe they will excel somewhere else, or maybe they will understand one day, what effort you have put in.
yup, maybe.
a principal (now a deputy director) once told my friend (a hod at that time) to "cut the mother-teresa-save-the-whole-world attitude"
i know they will understand one day. everybody does, even when we're unaware that we have understood already.
when i was still a very young teacher, i attended this global odessy camp with 4 student leaders. the speaker said, "believe in the process". and i believe him.
