i am safely back in spore..for a week already after spending 14 days in China with some 20 strangers. thank God the students were safe throughout the 2 weeks, no one got murdered by their own roomies. phew..
i am a well trained super nanny now. i learnt, not only to take care of myself but also other people's children, i had no peace sleeping, no peace eating, no peace standing and no peace sitting, the only serenity i found was when we were flying back to spore. i totally shut off, i just want to watch movies and eat and sleep.
it is not easy to find out how much sleep i was deprived of by the number of hours i sleep now. i sleep an average of 10 hours now, every single day and still tired after that.
it was an eye opener, how toilets could function without water, how students can scream their reading and thought that they are just "reading". i also learnt the most formidable move, thou shalt not speak or do at the wrong timing. as my wise friend always says, timing is very important.
the things there are much cheaper than anything in bangkok, especially the stationary, its so cheap, i thought i bought a lot my roomie beat me to it, the only thing i beat her is how cheap my chidren's day presents are..hahaha..a part of me hope that i will be able to go there and purchase all the books and stationary again but a part of me wants to remain in spore next yea. cant always be me staying in china for 2 weeks every single year rite?i think the months ahead will very challenging for me. SIM, teaching and the many things im doing..please grant me directions and strength, God
