得天时，得人和，一捧江山在掌握。

中国制做的三国演义动画片正在第八波道播出。主题曲最后两句听起来豪气，又写得十分贴切。立即把这两句背下，再打上博客分享。刘备要不是得到诸葛亮，关羽，张飞和赵子龙等人才，根本不可能有当时的成就。若不是孔明会预测天气，查看敌方的兵力和懂得掌握时期，也不可能屡次协助刘备凯旋得势。可见建立人脉，懂得分配人才，和见机行事，是非常重要的能力。

So near yet so far

And by that I mean the holidays. I really really REALLY need a break and there are about 3 more weeks left before schools' out. Nope, did not miscount. That 1 week worth of meetings really has to be taken into consideration in order for it to be fair to me.

I feel like I'm in jail, and the students feel the same, so they are making it difficult for me to clear the work left. I've stressed like umpteen times that once we cleared work we can go computer lab or watch videos and they still cannot focus. They are making my life a lot more difficult.

I am getting extremely sick of working. I am wondering is the pay worth it. And if the holidays don't come soon, I am going to go crazy.

The series has been licensed

First was Onemanga, now its Mangafox. More and more series are being licensed and it feels like the online manga sites are getting shut down. Looks like I can't save my money even if I want to. I was seriously considering not buying manga anymore and then this happens. Sad. :( I know the authors and publishers need to make money. But series are ex, and it makes no sense to stop collecting if you have a few of it already. So it becomes a very expensive hobby. Besides, books take up lots of space, and manga aren't the only books I want. >.<

mark

person 1: is tired of dating mark...

person 2: Oh my god...he is two-timing...im dating him too!!!

person 3: Not two-timing... Multiple-timing. We should all DUMP him.

person 4: I've been ignoring him...

person 5: I am not approving your relationship with mark... HE IS COMING BETWEEN US!!

person 6: I told him to give me a break.... Or rather a clean break between us.... But.... He jus refused to let me off! Such a pest!


The above is a series of postings copied from my friend's facebook. To tell the truth, I'm suppose to be on a date with him as well. Am ignoring him in favour of updating my blog.

In case you haven't figured out who this Casonova is. His name is Mark Books. He is the most annoying bisexual in the world, who indiscrimating flirts with anyone with the same occupation as I do, and its simply impossible to dump him as long as you are still holding on to this job. :P

Life is a juggling act

Life is a juggling act. Each one of us has plenty of balls which we are trying to keep in the air: work, studies, family, health, chores, hobbies, love, friends... The list is very long for most of us. But how many balls can one juggle?

I duno about other people, but I have been dropping balls here and there, sacrificing some in order to keep the few I think are important up there. I read an article about life as an juggling act, but it sums everything into six balls. Bullshit. There are definitely more that a mere six. It also claims that "work" is made of rubber, and it wouldn't matter if it were dropped, as you can always get it back whole. More bullshit. Work = Life is not healthy. But no work means no money. Haven't u heard "no money, no honey" where to get love then? Without money, how to meet up with friends? How to support family? What are you going to further your studies on? Besides, everytime you "drop" work, its smaller when you get it back.

So though I may sulk and whine. I will still go to work tmr. Tho it causes me to be dateless tmr, I can't do much but whine. Happy V'day everyone. Hope you get your celebration.

失魂落魄

Roughly translated, means like your soul got sucked away and disappeared, or something like that. Feeling this way today. I know I have a Zillion things to do. But I like have no idea wat to do. Or wat to start with. Feel lost.

I also think I caught a cold. Kept sneezing today. Or maybe caz I so distracted I offend people without knowing and I kept getting scolded. Sigh... I wanna go home and slp.

Tired

So much work, so little time. Not looking forward to work at all. How can I when I always seem to have it rushing towards me, threatening to bulldoze across?

有心栽花花不开，无心插柳柳成荫

The above is a chinese saying which translates into, putting in a lot of effort to grow flowers but it did not bloom, randomly stick a willow branch in the ground and it grows into a tree. I spend effort trying to recruit girls, and I only got one new girl. I allow the boys to join for the first time, and over 20 flocked to me. Should I cry or laugh? Maybe I should close my girls team.

Friday

Its Friday the 13th, but all I can say is TGIF. Its been a crazy two weeks, and I think its gonna get worse. By the end of this year, I'll either be madder than the hatter or tougher a survivor than one of the reality shows contestant. Yeah... I'm exaggerating. But that wat it feels like right now so NOBODY gets to contradict me.

One thing this job does is its killing my desire to become a parent. I still like kids, but I find parents more irritating everyday. I think nobody should be forced to deal with anymore than their own parents and their in-laws. Having to deal with hundreds of them is truly sucky. I feel like I'm being given the "Mum/Dad knows best" treatment all the time. I am not your child, and I do not want or need your attention, especially when your child is craving for more of it. Parents are fast approaching an "enemy line", and when they cross that line, I might just open fire. The thought of becoming one of the them gets less appealing with time.

I think its real nuts that I do my best for your kid, and you are hovering there trying to catch me make a mistake so you can say "AHA!". Can you like spend your time on something productive? Like helping your kid with homework for example? And helping does NOT mean to do the homework yourself, or getting the tutor to do it! The kid has to learn to do it him/herself! You cant spoonfeed the child forever, caz he/she wont be a kid forever!

If every time your child improve its thanks to you, the tutor or your child's natural talent, your child does not need to be in school. If you know my job better than I do, then take your kids out and HOME SCHOOL them. It will save both of us a lot of misery and your child can stick to you the entire day, just like he/she desires. Most behaviour problems stem from a lack of attention from parents in the first place, so doing that will negate those problems, and we wont have to be at odds because I say your child is NOT the angelic genius you think he/she is.

By the way, do you realise that no matter how many kids you have, I am always in charge of more? So can you please stop expecting me to pay special attention to your child when you cant do it yourself? Yes, I can take note of your concerns but there are OTHER children around. Even though you are paying me because my pay is from tax payer's money, THE OTHER PARENTS PAY TAX TOO! I cant give your child that much SPECIAL attention because that would be UNFAIR and other parents will come after me. You dun want me to be unfair to your kid, so why do you try to FORCE me to be unfair to others' kids? Go bug the tutor whom you pay so much for all that SPECIAL attention that you want others to give in place of yourself. Even though the best thing you can do is to give the special attention YOURSELF. Its YOUR attention that your child NEEDS!

I swear that when I cant take anymore of this, I will go be a one-on-one tutor, at least for a short period of time. Its essentially the same job, but you only have to deal with one child at a time, and they are much more appreciated.

TGIF. I am free from them till Monday. TGIF. I am going to spend the weekend with ppl who appreciate me.

Depressed

I used to have the habit of journal writing, before I switched to blogging. My journal entries are quite similiar to my blogs in one aspect. You can tell my mood by its frequency. I tend to write more often when I am sad.

I didn't notice this trend. Till one fine day, I picked up an old journal and read it out of a curiosity to review my younger self. The reviewing started out happily enough. And then it got depressing. And it got progressively worse. I just tend to blab in circles when I'm upset. And the happy moments are recorded less and less frequently. And I used to think that I had an optimistic personality. That reviewing put things into perspective.

So its 1 a.m. and I have to started preparing for work in 4 and a half hrs, and I got plenty of stuff to do... and yet I find myself blogging. Then I know the pattern is starting again.

Oh well, on the bright side, writing it down also tends to make me feel better. So I think I will be able to sleep now. Wouldn't it be fantastic if I went to bed now and got strike by a case of insomia? Wow... if it happens, I wonder if I will even turn up at work.

If any of you meet the sandman, try and steal his bag of sand for me, kay? Even a pinch of sand would be good. The ability to fall asleep whenever I want to sounds god-gifted. Hmm... maybe the sandman is a demi-god of some kind and that's why I never had a chance of gaining that ability.

Back to work

It's just day one and I'm exhausted. I've been lazy during hols so my legs are complaining they stand and walked too much today. Though today was relax, compared to last year's busy period (when I actually had to RUN around to get things done). I'm sulky and work is piling up already and I got new challenges ahead some more. sheesh... why are they so confident in my ability that they keep piling obstacles in front of me? I'm just trying not to trip here really.
