And so the lion fell in love with the lamb...

Hubby and I went to watch Twilight today (ya I know we're probably the last people to go and watch it).

I enjoyed it a great deal! Partly because Robert Pattinson was SO SO GORGEOUS in that movie.

Can't really remember the exact line but something like this: "Everything about me invites you in. My voice, my face, even my smell." his character said to Bella. Yeah it 'invites' me too! I even felt a tinge of that 'butterflies in my stomach' feeling. Its crazy right? Haha, hubby next to me just rolled his eyes as I kept saying, "Eh handsomenya dekni!!" I feel like a teenager again. Shameful seh!

And of course its because the story is good. I am such a sucker for romantic movies. I don't quite like horror, but this is different. Nothing like a dangerous love affair. I plan to read the book, and the whole series when time permits.

The inevitable has happened... yet again.

I wrote an entry with the same title some three years ago on my Friendster blog. Wah.. I didn't realised I've started blogging since that long ago. Though I wasn't very regular at it. Average 5 posts a month? Of which I'm tediously copying one post at a time here and have yet to finish them all. And its already the end of the holidays. I doubt I'll ever have any time to do all that now.

Hubby did say something that made me reflect on what I've actually done with my time during the holidays. Truthfully, nothing much. Haha. But most importantly, I got to spend time with family, esp. Iman. I spend more time with her during the holidays than I ever will during term time. I thank god for school holidays.

But now the roller coaster ride has started again. I foresee a more challenging year for me this year cos I've been labelled as "too laid back" in 2008. Quote: ... how are you different from the rest? ... must outshine others... add more depth to your portfolio... yadda yadda yadda...

Don't wanna risk being the scapegoat and getting the D grade. Bonus is something I look forward to!! :D And of course I DO want to be the best that I can be. But what if in the course of trying, I pay less attention to what I do in class. Thats not what teaching should be about. That just doesn't sound right, does it? The quality of work in the classroom itself should be of utmost importance. But these days, its the things outside of it that takes up too much time, making me less effective in the classroom. I feel I might have shortchanged the kids all these while.

And with new No.1 and No.2, the future seem quite uncertain. I hate change, have I mentioned that before? Just last Monday when we had our AGM, with the 2 new heads, I felt as if we have tragically been orphaned and foster parents have come to take charge. The first of many changes that made me raise an eyebrow, "Teachers, pls be in school by 7:15, latest." It was 7:25 before this. Heck, 10 mins makes a lot of difference you know. For me at least.

I told myself, this year I wanna try to be out of that gate, by hook or by crook, before 6pm cos thats the magic hour when all the jam starts. But alas, today the first day of school, I left at 10 mins before 7. Thats almost 12 hrs in that goddamned place. I seriously need to work on my time management man! When will I ever learn??

Add that to my portfolio, under Learning Needs Analysis (LNA), Improve time management skills. I'll work on it, hopefully. At least, I'll try.
