2007 will be gone very soon ~~~~ What I enjoy most is these few weeks while I can have a real enjoyment of teh holiday with no assignments, practicum and anything... except a few piles of compositions... :p

Anyway it is GREAT! I have started all my happy moment since the first day of my holiday... (22 Dec) Visiting the many outlets at Tung Chung with my 8 colleagues and bought a bag for my sister and a black scarf for myself. I bought the same things as Esther ^_^ That day I also got a box of choclate from the lucky draw + a cup of jelly from Teddy...

 

On the second day (23 Dec) , I went to the church in the morning and had a Christmas party there. Then I went to TST for a ballet show - Nutcracker. It is my second time to watch that show but with different people. This time the IT effect is getting advanced, making a wonderful visual effect! I was really impressed. I really love watching the beautiful dance done by all the dancers~~ We ate at a Vietnamese resturant afterwards.

 

On the third day (24 Dec), I went out to have some shopping before I joined my friends at Mongkok. Mani came to my home and we exchanged presents. It was a nice jewellary box, like a piece of cake. I bought 3 pairs of stockings and met 2 girls. Then Jo joined us, followed by Paula, Ada and Angel. We went for the K-buffet, which cost about $ 90 for 2.5 hours - quite reasonable at Christmas holiday! We sang and sang ~~~  

 

On the fourth day (25 Dec), Mani and I went to Disneyland. It was my first time to visit Disneyland. It is a snowy and sparkling one! I really felt excited and amazed by all the designs. Wearling the specially designed glasses, I saw many snowmen with the dots of lights... Amazing! The firework became the most unforgettable part... We stayed and insisted till 11:00 p.m. when the Disneyland closed.  Though it was cold at night and we had been exhausted after the whole-day queueing up, I found it worthwhile to spend a day in such a piece of dreamland~~~ People criticized HK Disneyland of its SMALL size but I found it is the strength to be of that size ~~~ at least, we have a sense of achievement afterall by playing around the whole theme park... hahaha...

 

For the next few days, I stayed at home for the recovery of energy... waited till 30 Dec when the PGDE mates called me for a mini-gathering: Vicky, Angel, Sum Sum...

Wish you all a fruitful 2008 ^___^ I will try my very BEST as well to complete my DREAM~~~

 

 

   

  

 

Last week was crowded with all the work~ Luckily, everything has nearly come to the end when my paper had been completed 4 hours before the deadline and the paper-setting should be over if the paper has been circulated and laid on my desk on Monday. ^_^

 

Last Tuesday before the Sports Day, the English Club BBQ was successfully run with the help of the committee members. They are very helpful, buying all the food, charcoal, drinks and presents... I also bought some for them. We had a happy BBQ time. Then we had 2 games for relaxation ("treasure hunt" and lucky draw). Everyone is satisfied with the happy moment because we do not have to be worried about the homework for a while and played till 8:30 p.m. when I forced them to leave. Jennifer (the English Tutor) also joined us to the end.

 

It was scary to be the last one to leave when I switched off all the lights and locked the school gate... walking along the dark and quiet path to the main road... When reaching home, I was so tired... taking a  bath and slept till 7:15 a.m. and had an early exercise walking to the gyn centre at Hammer Hill Road. It was another working day as I was responsible for the javelin ... which required much attention for the whole process... I was really scared when that long sharp stick was held in the air...  Fortunately, the helpers were helpful and experienced. They could help a lot. I just hate standing under the sun for nearly an hour... because I felt that I was "melting" ... I was quite excited on the first day and ate out at Diamond Hill with Fiona, Esther, Michelle ... the nine of us were satisfied with the food though it was a bit expensive ~ $65 for the tiny lunch. The second day came out to be a boring day as I had to take up the similar job of standing, announcing and measuring for the javelin competitions. Yet, I was impressed by my monitor, Joshua, who was good at sports. He got the champion at the Boys' Grade B Javelin Competition- Congratulations!

 

In the afternoon, I was bored to death as I had no duties left but to look around and stand here and there, worrying about my assignment. I was too tired to continue with anything because I slept too late the night before... struggling for the 3000 words. Anyway, everything was over and I got a day-off after the Sports Day and I enjoy surfing the Net and had nobody calling me for the entire day ^__^ Hurrah!

 

Next week will be the final week of the year... I am really eager to have FUN at Christmas~ Disneyland, the ballet show, yummy food... I am waiting for you!! Hee Hee~~~

 

     

 

These days in December have been very busy with all the work ... pressure from the university, school and home... It has been very worrying and irriatating indeed... I have completed 70% of the work before the X'Mas comes. Examination has been over. The assignment will be due next Wednesday. The Speech Festival for 2 girls and 3 boys have been over too, leaving 1 boy and 1 girl coming next week. The storystelling competition for the Form 1 & 2 is coming, signalling the training of the 3 storytellers. The book inspection has been postponed to January luckily. The exam paper setting is easy this time and should have been finished if they do not demand to much from me... Yet, the marking of the UT for the 3 classes have been remained as there are many stacks of quiz books, dictation books and compositions coming... The counselor work in the Franklin Graham Festival has been finished... more follow-up work should be done.

 

Anyway, I am really very busy completing different tasks every day, leaving no time to have lunch, or personal growth... Worse still, last week, I was scared by such a BIG event for nearly all day and night... Impulsive action can really cause a long-term worry and responsibility. Please think carefully anyway.

 

Last Friday, my students invited me to their BBQ in the school so I stayed after school till 8:30 p.m. Two students hurt unfortunately. Hope they will get well soon and I cn see them tomorrow.  They are a group of caring girls- understand me and feel for me all the time though sometimes they may say something nasty. Yes, I should not give myself too much work... relax myself from the heavy workload and try to get "lazier" should be my next step perhaps. ^_^ Yet, I can't do that at the moment because I still care for them.  

 

Anyway, I will think for myself. Time never waits and I do not want to wait my Golden time neither!

 

Today, after the Sunday service, I stayed there for the farewell party for the Lai family. I could not hold my tear at all when we sang the song and shook hands with them... When eating, I tried to divert my thinking and suppressed my emotions. Yet, it was so hard for me... the concept of "separation" has been very sad for me since I was young ... Anyway, teh tear would dry after some time... I am sure ... I need to do my assignment now...
