But naturally, i have managed to save a lot of money on shopping know….

A portioon of my this month allowance, i have in a single hour, spent 600 bucks at vivocity and man i lvoe that place, no need

walk very far and you can get all the things you want. simple and painless, not to mention that, the coffee bean there serve

Anyway, to haolian my purchases,

Bought a coat and 2 casual pants from G2000 for about 350
2 cotton overall from zara for 140
a pair of slip on and a t shirt from river island for 130….

stint of flying in the airforce last time, or maybe join the wrecked economy as a banker or something….

“Nonsensical writing today…. scattered thoughts…..”

“hmmm much that i refuse to admit, jj lin album not bad la, maybe alittle more listenable than jay chou one… and omg, i recently found one not here nor there band call paramore, the red haired girl voice is nice know….. has been repeating their songs all week!!!!”" cool

“Had a rather exciting long weekend with my bed!” which ended like yesterday; and rather regretfully…..

Nothing obscene mind you, just that
I slept like 4 times a day for the past 3 days.( I was practically lying on the bed like a pork chop most of the time…hoho)
Anyway,
So you find Ray smiling rather contentedly to himself while he was on the way to work today.
Nothing offends him anymore and he can literally hoola the halo above his head. (Strangely enough)
A sudden thought strikes him when he was just about to hit bartley road.

“I will have my new year resolution for year 2009 and it will start today. I DONT CARE!!”
Not that anyone cares.haha

So the calm and peaceful ray chou begun his mental notes on the “less and thee more” things that he will need to take note for year 2009, or should say from today onwards.
Less…

Less talking — less explainations and misunderstanding.
Less thinking — =Less stress, less nonsense
Less STRESS — Less thinking = less stress = less nonsense
Less anger — not worth it sometimes and doc warns me of my rather high blood pressure these days.
Less nosey — care for myself more
Less care — I will live longer!
Less worries. — mama tells me to loosen up yesterday.
Things to improve on…

MORE SMILES —- FOUND OUT THAT IM SMILING ALOT LESSER THIS YEAR
MORE REST —- SLEEP MORE!!!!!
MORE CALM AND PEASCEFULNESS—- LESS of everything above.
MORE MONEY—- LAME but as always
MORE GIRLFRIENDS—- MY BIGGEST WISH EVERY YEAR! BUT SO FAR NEVER EVEN HAD 1 before~!!!!

 
Hmmmm, looking through the points, some of them like quite rubbish. hahah but who cares anyway?
Anyway, new year resolutions are rather useless la, considering you will forget all of them after the first day of the new year.
Anyway, Ray has started his practice on his PART 1 campaign on

“LESS SPEECH, LESS CARE AND MORE SMILES~!!!” YEAH

 
“Right now, Ray’s brain has taken a long leave and will not work until the last week of the year, so expect more nonsense.”

“OMG IM TALKING LIKE A KID NOW~!!!???” Ray needs to find back his suave magic!!

An ever workaholic ray has been thinking a lot these days. As usual.

Blogging, 08 October 08 at 1505hrs during office hours,

“But who cares anyway?” Since quite a number of kids have been mentioning that Mr. ray is very free and slack one, always walking around the school.  So he must be having a lot of free time to slack around.

Haha

Anyway, I passed my university second year exam with surprisingly good grades. I may even get to graduate with a second class honors.  Now, with the last 4 easiest modules to go, I may most likely graduate from the University of London this coming June.

Looking back, its had been a grueling 3 years.  I left home at 6am everyday, giving my best at work and continues the ordeal at the university from 7pm till 10pm, 3-4 times a week.  Not to mention, mugging on bus trips to work and during weekends during exam periods.  I reached home at almost 11pm on most days and at many times, got so tired that I just want to give up totally. But ironically, some classmates at the university or even my family members thought I was lucky to do well but I guess they didn’t know the hard work that I have put in. 

No one knows anything at all. People just like to assume.

With my graduation next year, its will be another turning point in my life. To stay or not to stay.

It has definitely been a very exciting 3 years of working for me so far as I have worked from technical assistant to IT trainer and to now, an education associate. I love the kids and my bosses have been rather understanding and appreciative.

“But am I the one?” I have asked myself many times over the years.

The school wanted me to stay on with progression as a full fledged education officer when I got my degree, my mom wanted me to stay on saying that teaching is a very stable and rewarding career. I wanted to stay on too, rather forgoing a definite high paying job in the finance sector, and to stay with the children of Bartley Secondary School. To want to enjoy the growing up process with them and at the same time, educating the right values to them.

But am I the one?

After 3 years, all I have done are beefing up management’s profile, initiating new technologies, exciting training plans and doing all sorts of things that only top management do. And end of the day, what do ray have?

Measly pay.

Management seeking more ways to exploit his capability.

Management thinks that your suggestions for improvements are actually complaints.

Teachers treating you like some technical assistant.

Students treating you like their maid, demanding the rights to the imac lab.

Students looking at you like some half standard teacher aide who has a lot of free time.

Students act like they want to learn math from you but only want to waste time so that they don’t have to go home so early.

Then Ray asked himself. “Do he deserve all this?”

Kids, Mr Ray don’t walk around because he is free. In fact, free people never walk around. They find one corner and hide or they take many medical leaves and hide at home. Mr Er helps you with math not because he is free, its because he took his work home to do so that he can free time to help you.  In fact, Mr Er has been doing so many things that you haven never even thought about and was so busy that even the management told him to go take a break.

But who cares anyway?

I feel kids generally love teachers who sing and play the guitar during school performance, their form or subject teachers who actually help them with their grades or simply recognize adults with a degree.

But do you know that most of them actually hate their job, your faces or the school itself. They curse and swear and are rude to fellow colleagues, just to let you know.

Ray has always blamed himself for being poor, being unable to afford a full time course in a university thus having to work and study so that he can survive. 

But I think you shouldn’t take advantage of him or look down at him.

“End of the day, ask you one question.”

“ Are you as good as him?”

P.S. actually ray grew up be taught the virtue of been humble. But he found out that defending himself is more important than keeping quiet.
