I'm typing this blog post in my office. Thought of reviving this blog a few days back so here I am. The reason to such decision is due to my deteriorating writing skill. It has been some time since I last wrote. I realised this worsening when I was writing my testimonial on Optimax service. The words just could not come out properly. So I panicked. Haha. Anyways, I can already foresee this determination won't last that long based on my past history.
Life has been monotonous these few weeks. I have graduated from my university in the end of June. I started a part time job in a brain training centre for kids and teens. It only takes up half of my Friday and Saturday. So, that leaves the rest of the week free for me. I actually enjoy staying at home. Occasionally going out with friends and then returning to the comfort of my home, reading a book or watching movies and dramas, cooking, playing with my dog. Kind of relaxing. Well, this life is gonna be on halt for a while starting from next week though. I applied for a tutoring job in my uni, so will be busier than before as I would have two jobs at the same time.
The kids here in this centre. They are of different personality, of course. I am still learning on how to deal with different kids at the same time. To max out their learning and performance. I still feel so inadequate in handling them, in using the best approaches for their learning. It is impossible to use one method and expect all of them to get it. I need to be more creative. Still learning. Anyways, I would say teaching here is more stress free than teaching in a government secondary school. I remember being angry almost everyday at school, my blood pressure rising constantly. It was suffering. However, here, I don't feel that way. Probably because when the children misbehave, I just have to raise my voice a little, and then they will quiet down. Anyways, I hope and vow not to let anger to govern me if I'm sent to a gov school next year. I don't wanna live that kind of torturous life.
Okay, I think I got to get back to my work. Sorry for the empty-in-juicy-news-and-details post. If there's anyone still reading this.

Working Life
A week has passed. A week of working life in fact. Now i understand a little of what a life a working person goes through. And i can say that it is not easy! It is tiring. Every moment of your life is somehow directed to your working life.
This week, most of the time i spent awake is in the office, which is from 8am to 6pm. I can barely see the sun except a few rays from the windows to indicate whether it's cloudy or not, and the roof to tell me whether it's raining. Only one hour of lunch break. Well, for me, it is not as tiring as my colleagues' because i'm just an intern which not much responsibility is placed upon me. Now i know that office life is truly not my thing. I can do the things in the office, effective (=P) and all, but i don't think i want to spend my life working in an office, dealing with products, and facing the computer all the time. I love a work that can interact and impact people's lives. Office work is too vain for me i guess (apology to office workers if any are here).
Now i'm starting to appreciate Labour's Day. To understand why they need a day for workers. Well, workers who are hardworking. Truly respect those people who can stand through these their whole life. Sometimes i feel why can't they take a work which is more meaningful than office works. But i guess i can't judge them. Sometimes there are simply no choice for them to choose and also perhaps many mouths are waiting to be fed at home thus they can't be too picky about jobs.
Anyway, truly learnt a lot of things. And ahh, i guess i need to learn some office exercise too to ease my back and shoulder pain. I'm getting hunched after such long hours of sitting!
All in all, i thank God for bringing me through this. Even though this will just be a one month of working life, i pray that it will not go in vain in terms of understanding certain things in life, and perhaps i don't have to use the Microsoft Excel again, but then again, i might!
