Again, been a while since I blogged. A lot of work to be done in school. There was this big presentation I had to do with some of my colleagues, which saw me pulling late evenings for almost a week, preparing for the kids' graduation day, planning for the GCE O level exams, and all these amidst my teaching. Crazy.

But I've been able to be pretty disciplined when it comes to exercising despite my hectic schedule. I've been slacking ever since fasting month. Obviously, I dont exercise when I fast cos that's crazy, then there was Hari Raya and no one exercises during Hari Raya, then Jay came and it was just like crazy and non stop eating and partying then, and it was only in the last 3 weeks that I've been dragging my ass to the gym and running a little bit more consistently. I'm doing another 10km run next weekend, the Great Eastern Women Run and I know that I will die if I dont at least try to hit the tracks twice a week. So I've been doing 45 to 50mins run twice a week, and going for yoga classes to lessen the strain on my muscles. And this regular exercising this is making me feel so much better about myself. :) Oh, and indulging myself in massages for the apst 2 weekends too!!

And I guess I exercise so much now too cos my kids are all gone. It was kind of a bitter sweet thing for me. As everyone who knows me knows, I am really really really close to all my kids. I have been teaching them for 2 whole years, and it has been the best 2 teaching years of my life. I mean, I literally live in school and it's cos of them. Just being around my kids make me so happy. They make me laugh, cry, are so protective and caring of me, and really give their 110% for me, no matter how hard the work is. And with such undying love and loyalty towards me, it's just natural that I give back as much to them.

I was really depressed the week before their graduation day but I knew that they were all going off for greener pastures, to secure a better future for themselves. And I had to keep telling myself that. On their last day of school, no words could describe that feeling of sadness I had. All of them came to me, to express their thanks and gratitude and love for me, and I couldn't keep it together!! Started bawling...Urgh...horrible. I hugged each and everyone of my angels and thanked them for the love they have for me. Bitter sweet, like I said.

The school feels so much emptier without them. And I do get nostalgic at times, reminiscing about the good times and fun and laughter that we've had. But I know that I have impacted each and everyone of them in one way or another and they will always remember me. Just like I will always hold them close to my heart. My darling batch of 2010. :)

My best class of the 2010 batch, 4E3.
