Had a high fever that couldn't go down for the past 3 days, only till last night it went down, thank God. I was worried to pieces when my forehead was burning hot for 3 days straight. Now I have the damn irritating dry cough to tackle, as well as being resigned to the fact that I can't speak very loudly these days.
TKGS finally called me to relief teach on Wednesday, but it meant getting up at 6am in the morning to be there at 7.15am. *rubs tired eyes* It feels different being a teacher, standing behind the students instead of being a student back then. Freedom to walk about without being wary of the DM, not having to greet teachers...too bad I'm just a temp. $65 a day just to sit in a class, give out worksheets and leave the students to finish up the assignment given. 5.5 working hours. Oh man. What a job.
We still come upon crossroads in our lives.
Relief teaching is no doubt of very good pay, but it really depends on when they call you up. Imagine sitting by the phone everyday just to wait for a phonecall to say that "oh, can you come tomorrow? thank you". Found another admin job at HSBC bank, nearly got lost while trying to find that damn building today. Had to be interviewed by this lady in charge of me, and her two bosses as well. Ratherrrr intidimating I must say. Don't know if I'll have any time left for myself or for him, since Mondays to Fridays, and Sundays are workdays for me. Blahz. I didn't expect to be chucked into this end. It simply varies from one extreme to the other. Planned to relief teach/teach piano and set enough time aside for bowling training 2-3 times a week. Now? Only Sat free. Fair enough. If i choose to train on Sat, there goes my free time. Very pretty.
Went to watch School of Rock!! Marvelous show, thanks (alot!) to those who have highly recommended it. Its kinda inspiring, funny, amazing..erm. Actually I was appalled by the spycam installed along the corridor to check if the principal is coming. *grin* Lucky kids, they don't get scrutinised 24/7 through open windows and doors like we do. HAHAHA. Oh well. I'm just basically happy to see him after a very long time.
Plus, my mum forgot to pay up for my Singnet Broadband, so I was without the net for about 2 days. Realised how reliant I am on the internet to relieve my boredom. And. No more allowance for me! *gasps* I ought to find a gold mine NOW.
The boss asked me this: Why, in the first place, do you want to go out and find a job when you have 6 months to rest and do other things you really want to do?
My answer? I need the cash. And of course, to experience the outside world as compared to the sheltered lives I had back in my school days
Come to think of it. Yeah. I want to stay 18. Sweet 18. No commitments, no need to find a job in order to pay your bills household expenses luxury items shopping blah blah. And all the time you have to yourself, family and friends.
2 freaking more weeks to SATs!!! And I have yet to get a single SAT book to practise on. Better collect it from my junior tomorrow when I pass by. *mumble* Better drop Xtina a "hi" too.
cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough <--abracadabra. disappear now. (so that I can eat Old Chang Kee's squid frittle, Mac's $1.80 Fillet-O-Fish, and fried rice.)
