it's December already??
wow, it's the end of the year! i keep on saying "time flies so fast" while emailing and talking to friends, and it's really really true. this year has just flown by. it's been quite an eventful year and i'm glad that it's coming to an end, mainly because of the holidays and home, but not so looking forward to yet another year which i'm sure will be full of new challenges. sometimes i just want to do nothing and not think of anything for a long time but we seldom have the luxury to do that!
today was the last day of classes for my students - and for me too. i was giving out their test papers and did some revision with them. then we still had quite a bit of time left, so i chatted with them. then one guy commented "Teacher, you seem friendly today" and i said "u mean i'm usually not friendly?" the others laughed. then he added "no, i mean u seem MORE friendly today" so i said since it's the last day of class, and they are after all my students, i should be nice to them :)
and i've realised that i'm loosening up when i'm with my students. during the year end appraisal my immediate head also said that she noticed i've closed the gap with the students and it's a good thing. so i told my students "my other students used to tell me i don't smile in class" and another gal said "yes, teacher. i said that!" but then added "actually u have a pretty smile, so you should smile more" i jokingly told the class that she was trying to polish my shoe :P
i've only worked 4 days this week coz mon was off. took ezra to watch chicken little. funny thing was, i went to the wrong cinema! and didn't realise it until i saw a snake coming out and then "Harry Potter" - oh oh - quickly asked ezra to go out and told him we're in the wrong cinema. i guess he's still too young coz he didn't make fun of me :D the other cinema (the right one now) was so empty. only 4 others at the back of us, then one family of 5 in front. that's it. it was ezra's first ever cinema outing and he didn't understand why he had to sit thru the whole thing. halfway he asked me "Can we go back to the hotel now?" i said no, coz we had already checked out of the first hotel. and we had to wait for my parents to come to go to the other one. thankfully, the movie held his interest enough to last til the end. and when the music came on, he started dancing! so cute!!
then the night before, when i went to meet my parents and ezra for dinner, out of the blue, ezra told me "emmy, u look pretty!" my mum says he has a "sweet mouth" in mandarin. i asked him if he said that to all the girls, but he said no. hahaahha. he's such a charmer. then when i was walking around in klcc with him, i thot, mb other ppl wil think he's my son. so i asked him "do you think i cud b ur mummy?" he said "nolar, u are my emmy!" kekekekee. dun u just love kids??
it's less than a month to a new year - i told myself i must take some time off to reflect on the year and spend some quality time with Father - and not to get caught up with other things that i neglect to do a 'health check' on my walk with Him. hopefully i'll get to do that on my break at home. hmm...just the thought of kuching makes me smile :)
well, perhaps i'll post again before Christmas. til then, enjoy the rest of the year peeps.

please oh please do not wait so long til u come out with another post!! *begs emmy*
lol...your bro is so cute! he calls u emmy and not che che or something like that? cool man!
when he forgets, he calls me emmy. sometimes he remembers and he calls me emmy che che :D if i'm in my difficult moods, i'll make him call me emmy che che. kekeke. but if i can't be bothered, i just let him get away with it. the only one who's truly successful in "educating" him is my younger sister who is bestowed the title che che (without the name) because she absolutely insists on it!
