Today’s Lesson

Today I learned that…

You should always make sure the color of your underwear matches the color of your pants. That way, if you suddenly find yourself with a gaping hole in your pants by your crotch, (like I did today at work!!!!) it wouldn’t be so obvious.

P/S Having a cardigan to tie around your hips helps too!

Today’s Lesson

Today I learned that…

When you’re driving and you really, REALLY need to pee, DO NOT drive on bumpy and potholed roads!

P/S Screaming at the top of your lungs does not lessen the need to pee. True story.

Case of the Octopus?

This has got to be one of my most favorite photos ever! It looks like we’ve all got diarrhea… and at the same time trying to impersonate an octopus. Actually, the octopus is just Lawyer Chick. Hehe.

Observed!

On Monday, a teacher was absent so I had to substitute her class. I even prepared a lesson and everything. I always come to class prepared. What kind of a teacher would I be if I came to class unprepared right? Heh. You’d be surprised at how many of those teachers we have working at schools all around Malaysia

Anyway, the class I subbed was a 2 hour class, and Mr. Douglas, the Centre Director decided to observe me teaching the class. That was scary. I mean, he was the CENTRE DIRECTOR! But, class went on smoothly. In fact, he said I did very well considering it was my first time and everything. Yay me! WheeEEE! He said he could see that I was less confident when it came to the grammar bit (it was the usage of some/any. Trust me. It gets confusing huhuhu), but that I handled myself pretty well. Yay again! He said I had good rapport with the students. Yay! He said I used the white board well and that my writing was neat and that everything was organized. Yay! Basically he said a lot of good things about my teaching! Triple thousand YAYS! Muahahahha!

God, I love this job! Cross your fingers and hope that they offer me a full time job there after I’m done with the internship!

Must Musing

Why? Why do people feel the need to ask me when I plan on getting married? Why? Why? Shouldn’t their question be “Are you seeing anyone?” And if my answer to that is yes, only THEN should they proceed to the marriage question. But NOOOOOO! They go straight to “When are you getting married?” Seriously, is this some sort of conspiracy to remind me that I’m getting old? I’m not even 25 yet! GRRRRR!

Bitter Heart – Zee Avi

Amazing song by Malaysia’s very own Zee Avi. Completely addicted to this song right now! And apparently this song is being used by a Walmart commercial in the US. Even better, there are already covers of this song by different individuals on youtube. You go girl!
