I have been pretty tired recently. The school is going through some changes recently. The move, the relocation of students, planning of the curriculum, the space, the map for the kids, my cert class plans, snacks, finding out places to print their stuff all... All getting to me. It is also quite tiring that at times we have to travel from place to place to view rooms, pack the stuff into the boxes and move the boxes all. Oh and not to forget, at times we need to go ask the workers to stamp hammering and drilling and we have to use the stairs all...
By 1pm everyday I am usually sooooo drained I cannot do anything or rather, I keep complaining. I feel sad too cause I bring my colleagues down if I keep complaining. So I think from now on, I will try my best to stop complaining. :)
Today something extraordinary happened. I was sooo tired from work, the classroom setting up, the sketch books collecting, the reviewing of places, the packing, carrying, the moving and stuff, I admit I was dreading the long night I was going to have - rushing to visit Lavinia at Ion and rushing to church next. Then after all the rushing, Yanping called me to tell me Shine is cancelled. I was actually quite relieved. After a long day, I was really looking forward to sleeping early and resting in. I am not even tempted to go for a run. Today will be my rest day and tomorrow, I will continue my run! :)
I was quite sad that many people cannot make it for Shine, that's why it's cancelled and I really like Shine and acting too. Oh well, maybe God is giving everyone a break cause everyone's having a tough time at work or school.
Oh tomorrow I think I need to go to book my Thailand trip at people's park centre :) I should be able to do it. :)
I am quite tired now I think I am going to bed. Good night! (it is like 10pm only haha)!

Running
Hello!! I'm back! Recently I have been enjoying running quite a bit. It really makes me feel good. It help me relax, de-stress and it helps me remove toxins from my body. Oh it helps me sleep well too. Yesterday I was running with Jon at Rifle Range. It was all uphill like 5 minutes into the run time. I wanted to die. I usually run really fast at times like this to quickly get through the torturing times - think climbing stairs. :) thank God that usually after that uphill run it's would be a breeze for me.
I like all the alone times running cause by then, Jon will already be on his way running and I will be alone. I will see some monkeys along the way, sitting on the railings and the bars. So scary! I usually avoid eye contact just in case they jump up at me, scratching my eyeballs off. Haha! I always have an over active imagination. :) gross. Okay, so after running pass the flyover, pass the other camp, the Singapore satellite gate, someway down more, I will U-turn n go back! Usually this run takes about 45 minutes. I love. I think I will go again later. :)
That being said, it's lunch at 313 or Cocoa! Yummy!! :)

Happy weekend coming to an end!
Hello! So sad! Another weekend is coming to an end! Weekends always pass so quickly. Makes me somewhat sad to be traveling home in Jon's dad's car and watching the wet streets go pass.
Tonight I feel somewhat melancholy, the mood of the night and of the world has a dark and menacing feel to it. However, being positive, typically me, I'm choosing to ignore the fact that a wonderful and free weekend is over and am looking forward to another productive work week that's coming soon. I am also quite happy that I will be able to run again at night, to feel the cool breeze in my hair, my legs moving in rhythm to my heart. Oh what a wonderful thought. I so look forward.
I'm lying in bed with Jon, he is 9gaging and I am typing and watching Family Guy on Fox. N oh, Castle is my favorite sitcom now. So yea, I am pretty addicted to tv as always.
Okay I have packed and prepared clothes for my work tomorrow so I am sleep in a lil more :) good night world!

Oh before I forget...
I wanted to give an update on my fitness regime... Which given all the great foods, is not exactly working.. Hahaha! I've managed to work quite hard to make sure I run about 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes? To 45 minutes each time? Try, but sometimes still fall short. The exercise part, really is not tough. :)
The food part, however, is a different story. I managed to control breakfast and lunch and in most days, snacks pretty well, but dinners are challenges I need to face! I was tempted by home prepared steamboat and Evie's birthday dinner at chilis tonight. I tried to eat a normal healthy amout of proteins and less carbs. I think it kindddaaaa worked. Haha, cause now I am at home feeling full, but not stuffed. :) glad! I was more full during yesterday's steamboat than now. Which brings to mind, we took the courtesy of ending plenty of veggies and just minimal pork and almost no carbs (except for the sweet sauce and some toufu thingy, cheese toufu and seafood toufu). So I think, even though it was oily and heavy, it wasn't too carby. :)
Ok ok REAL Castle time!! :) Night!!

Happy birthday Evie! - and some about me
Today we celebrated Evie's birthday! She is... 29 today!! Muahaha! Well, I need not be too smirk because mine is coming up soon too! :) I don't feel too sad about it, not at all that concerned as I feel that, age is after all, a number. I don't think my personality and character changed as much as I thought it would through the years.
Yes I have probably grown wiser, the threshold of certain things that I would not have imagined myself to do in the past - I do them now. I've increased confidence in work, the way I present myself to others and empathize with people. I've gotten loose and not as rigid. The rein are not as tight and flexibility has taken over.
When I am not at work, also read as when I am not in class, screaming at my students, I realized I am pretty analytical, quite quiet and I always tries to listen (yes real listening is very tough, but I always try). Even though mu colleagues may only see me as quick tempered noisy crazy dance a lot madly Jill, I know in some parts of me, I have the ability to help some people. Perhaps not as much as help, to give solutions, but to lend a listening ear and be with the person to hold his or her hand in times of need.
I remembered a personality test I did when I was in school. I am a counsellor and a caregiver - kinda character. Is it really true? In the past I could never see myself as... Caring enough for people, perhaps only my family and close friends. However now that I am working in a school, I can see this caregiving and counseling role shining through. I know I am quite crazy at times but yes okay, I aim to tone down and be more mainstream. I cannot get too out of hand and out of control. :)
Having said all these, I wanna wish one of my closest friend, Evie Goh, happy 29th birthday :) may all things great and positive fall in your life and every aspect will be smooth flowing and be in place with God's love and grace. Thank you for being such a great friend all these years! :)
Tata! Castle time!
