Wed. Took on a relief teaching job @balestier hill secondary. This school has some welfare problem as teachers are on MC on a frequent basis. In a day, they needed FOUR relief teachers. Personally think their teachers are being overworked as we had to take on so many classes, there was only a total of an hour break. Then again, what am i complaining about? that brings working hours to a total of 5 (from 8 to 2)and I get paid much more for 8 hours of work at Citibank. Had a call from them today, saying that they had put me into their pool of regular relief teachers- ie i get one day jobs that do not take away too much time from me... ie i get to earn more $ for my trip while still be able to plan it.
Watched Sin City again, and discovered more links between the characters. A really messy n gory show if you ask me. Funny at times but overall, seriously not my cup of tea- I don't get the point.
Had dinner with Carrick, Ivan and Noel. Lynn was sorely missed till she appeared after dinner and we had our routine Scrabble session. LOL. It's turning out to be a sham coz we now exchange our tiles and go through the extra tiles for letters we need in the bid to create long and beautiful words=)) they blame me for 1) hijacking the board (inserting my word b4 my turn) and 2) asking for other pple's tiles. I plead innocence! hahaha isn't group consensus needed for such deeds to materialize? Anyway, had fun though all of us were all rather tired. Went to Ally bar for a drink after that, and realized with a jolt that I've known all of them for FOUR years! Doesn't seem a long time if you compare it with my friendship with my Cedar friends whom I've stayed real close to- abt 9 years? and my church friends whom I've known since Pri 2 (13 yrs). However, I am still amazed that we still go out occasionally, talk and have maintained a friendship for such a long time. Hell, besides lynn, I've not checked in with my JC friends since JC ended. no phone calls, no outings, no nothing. Zilch. cero. Itz rather sad if one thinks about it. but I tend not to. Itz as if JC didn't really occur for me- it remains just hidden, shrouded in the shadows of my memories, forgotten.
