it has been busy busy busy at work and after hours.
taking up this extra job was not a good move.
i need 'hanging out with friends' therapy and retail therapy desperately!
i've missed out on so many gatherings that i wanted to go to
graduations, farewells, birthdays, drinks...
apologies to those who i have not been able to see
we will catch up soon when my life slows down a little! :)

i wanted to blog tonight.
i have so much i could talk about.
so much that happened today.
that has happened this week.
but somehow i feel all 'talked' out.

i thought about you and you.
i looked through a different lens
and wondered 'what if...?'

One of my favourite songs atm...

Miley Cyrus - The Climb

I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,

Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

everything happens for a reason. i strongly believe that.

and right now, that's what i need to keep reminding myself.

i took on dinner and dessert today and failed miserably.

- went shopping for dinner and forgot two ingredients even though it was written on the shopping list
- baked cupcakes and forgot to add ingredients until the last minute
- cupcakes didn't rise becoz of the previous mistake
- burnt my hand on the oven
- boiling water dripped down my top while testing if the pasta was cooked
- forgot to add an ingredient into the pasta bake
- spilt apple juice because i missed the cup
- served the pasta bake onto the plate but part of it fell on the table
- scooped ice cream that rolled onto the floor

i give up. lesson learnt: never cooked on days when you're tired.

my colleague made a comment about me today:

"you seem different lately... you seem a lot happier."

i just smiled.

today was a busy day. busy but productive.

my kids had a 2 hour lesson on division. it was definitely a very noisy lesson but they worked so well. i was very impressed! :)

these kids can drive me up the wall some days but i admit, they have grown on me. i was away last week for two days at a seminar and i missed them more than i thought i would. and it was nice to hear that they missed me too :)

these weeks are coming and going so fast that i find it hard to keep track of what day it is! school has been so busy and its only going to get busier! i am definitely looking forward to the school holidays!

life's been so good to me lately.

i have been shown so many amazing opportunities in ways that i would never have imagined. my mentality and outlook on life has changed so much within the last few months... definitely for the better. i am thankful for the incredible people that i have in my life who have helped me to grow as a teacher, as a friend but most importantly, as a person.

its true when they say things happen when you least expect it.

i love my (real and MH) family.
i love my job.
i love my friends.
i love opportunities.
and im loving life.
