Oh give me a life
where its carefree and fine
where is peaceful and quiet all day
where never is heard, complains of any kind
and there's no one shrieking my name.
Peace, please give me Peace
don't abuse my eardrums anymore.
I don't want to hear complains of any kind
and do stop shrieking out my name.

Loving couples
Watched this cooking showdown between 2 local celebrities couples on TV last night. Felt super envious of them.
Huang Si Nan/Pan Ling Ling and Chen Tai Ming/Chen Li Ping are probably few of the celebrity couples who have such a loving relationship. Both of these couples have one thing in common. The husbands adore their wives immensely.
Their wives are no where near perfect woman. Even tho they are celebrities, Chen Li Ping has no figure, Pan Ling Ling has a sharp tongue, and it obvious from the program that neither are fantastic cooks. In fact, Huang Shi Nan may have been the best cook out of the 4.
Yet the couples always had a strong relationship. No matter what other kind of negative comments have been made about them, their relationships have no such thing attached to it.
It just goes to reaffirms the old wives' tale: A woman has to marry a man who loves her more than she loves him in order to be happy.
I'm not saying the wives dun love their husbands, but their spouses love and adoration for them is obvious on screen. Tho they are actors, I doubt they are acting how they feel. And if nothing else, their long marriages speaks for itself.

Pondering "issues"
ADHD, ADD, anger management issues, autism. It is starting to seem like kids these days all have some issue or another. I know i'm going to sound granny-like when I say this, but when I was a student, these problems didn't seem like there is at least one case in each level of EVERY SINGLE primary school. I have managed to deduce that compulsory primary education is the problem. While there is oso a lack of sufficient special needs school in singapore, it oso seems that even if there were, not many parents will choose to make use of it. There are of course, parents who are in denial over their children's condition, but there are also those who seem to think that special needs school will segregate their children from normal children, which would result in their condition worsening.
There are also, parents who believe many in our era or earlier actually have these problems, just that they have never been surface and by treating all these ppl as normal 'cured' them of it. Frustratingly, they also use the child's condition as an excuse/reason (Sometimes I really cant tell if its an excuse or a reason, i think the parents have the same problem) for whatever problems that occur around the child. Sadly, they bring it up in front of the child, request teachers give the children special consideration, while hoping at the same time their child will grow up like every other child.
I have come to the conclusion that it is not possible to do both: get special consideration and be like 'everyone else'. Parents should make up their mind which way they want teachers to handle their child. I am no doctor or expert, but through my personal observation, the 'be like everyone else' treatment only works for mild cases and only if parents stick to it. That means absolutely NO special consideration.
And regarding the matter of a lot of ppl in my era and earlier having problems that just have not been surfaced, I believe that is true. I wonder if it is a good idea if all suspected adults of this age group, go for the diagnosis test. Like school counsellors keep urging presently suspected school children to do so. A problem doesnt go away just because nobody knows is there. But then again, the question is "would knowing help' ?

Double Happiness
Nope, i'm not talking about a wedding or table tennis merchardise. I am super happy today for two reasons. Today, becas i'm following the students, I got to watch ALL the matches that were held today, right there at the stadium!
Further more, Kym Ng came to watch the Finals, and I took a picture with her!!! Give me some time to figure out how to upload the photo from my phone, sorry ah... personnel is expecting technical difficulties. :P
Singapore, as expected, only got 2nd. But the Boys' match is extrememly sastifying. Exciting to the max! I wonder if people who are not familiar with the game are surprise that Japan representative, Niwa, won. He's really good, but he was very subtle. Mostly using small actions and good ball control to defeat his opponent. I wished my students noticed that.

Cornered
Its tough when you cant be heard. Its horrible when you are not able to defend yourself. Somehow, when you cant speak up, its seems the world conspires to take advantage of the situation. Maybe its not on purpose, I duno. I just know i feel bad enough, and the situation is making me feel really helpless. I wish I can throw away my sense of obligation. Then I can ignore my responsibilites and hide at home tmr.
