Slacking around

These few days have been wonderful. It's like a respite from all the rubbish I've been loaded with at school. It's like a gentle breeze amidst the stoic humid wind. It's like the ...you get the drift.

8th August was a 1/2 day for us teachers and how could we let go of the chance to croon in full blast air-con rooms in Kbox? I t was a riot singing with Jo, Matt and Eve. I'm really glad to have met all these people who really brighten up my days in school. More importantly, they also share the burden of the various projects I'm involved in. Recently there've been plenty of rumours about me circulating around the staff room. Do too much work also kenna say, do too little work also kenna say, do just nice also kenna say. Dunnoe what to do or say liao.

The fireworks by Team Singapore at Marina was breath taking...then the crowd took my breath away literally. I couldn't breathe with thousands of warm human bodies sandwiching me and Steven, emitting heat and all kinds of weird smells. Smart old uncle Steven thought of taking the train from Marina Bay so that we can get seats. Apparently all Singaporeans think alike. Never did Marina Bay MRT Station seen so many people.

National Day. A day to celebrate a day to be patriotic. Erm... but I'm not Singaporean.

Met up with my JC mates. YM said that she loves meeting up with us cos even though we've not seen each other for quite some time (1 year to be exact!) we can still talk and chat til the cows come home. Feel really really lucky to have them as friends, to have known them since 1998. Whoa..how time flies man. YM stay in Singapore don't go back to Manchester!!!!

Went to catch Sophie Scholl with Steven at GV Plaza. There were only nerds, ang mohs and us in the small cinema...guess foreign films is not really mass market yet. The film was pretty good but gets a tad broing at times for people bred on action packed hollywood shows. It paints a very idealistic picture and I just think that people in 1943 are really made up of stronger stuff whether in Europe, Singapore, Australia or the States.

Today is the slackest day...meeting Pregnant Lady and Jas in town later for lunch. Wanted to jog at Bishan Park this morning but the weather got the better of me. Shall jog later in the evening when Steven comes over.

I'm staring at my pile of marking and inertia sets dangerously into my system after a breakfast of cereal... dies.
