long overdue

it's been almost a year since my granny passed on. it's her lunar birthday today, and at the initiation of my aunt who's in hong kong, the rest of the family got together for a little celebration with my grandpa. it's just a good reason to get everyone together u noe. great reason in fact. bet all 4 of my little cousins were here.

well.. i wasn't around again.. even my mom came back from her work and went back right after the gathering. maybe i am not making enough effort as a responsible family member. we all have room for improvement i guess. the only consolation is that at least i'm putting in a bit more effort to improve the relationship with my mom. miraculously we're doing really great! just dun wanna have any regrets later on u see. decided i shd go travelling with her this june hols since she's been talking abt it non-stop. should be fun this time if we dun go and drive each other crazy again like last time haha..

some updates.

just finished my dise course in nie campus this end feb and going thru my teaching practicum now. it was a great experience studying again. surprised myself and did fairly well for the 2 semesters. also fostered some very meaningful friendships with other sped teachers. they're a crazy bunch, full of laughter, madness, idiosyncrasies and what have yous. miss them terribly. couldn't have imagined when i started the course that the whole bunch of us would get so upset during the last lesson.. we hugged and cried like there was no tomorrow. promised we would make time to meet up n all. now i realise that TP is really taking its toll on us. kinda hard to find the time once u're not meeting in campus everyday u noe. so looking forward to seeing them again after the end of TP in may. gonna get together to put up a performance that helps create awareness about special education during our graduation ceremony. i say we shall graduate with a bang! :)

on a heavier note, TP is really stressing me out. doc just told me i have IBS, this stupid irritable bowel syndrome, which is mainly triggered by bad stress. gotta lighten up i suppose. can't be falling sick every now and then, especially not during TP.. gotta keep healthy and keep praying!

so many things are happening in school now. new P has just taken over not long, and many things are being put in place bit by bit. i kinda like the pace we're at now though, but i suppose in all management there's always some resistance one way or another. let's hope and pray that the P stays strong and that we move forward as a school in the way that God wills.

well.. shall try to keep this blog alive and update as often as i can.. :)
