A short week that felt too long.

Haven't blogged in a bit because it has been terribly busy at work and play so that by the time i get home i am usually quite zonked out. Suddenly i realized that there are not more public holidays after Hari Raya Haji and it will be busy busy busy till my staff retreat in March which i am part of the organizing committee. On top of that, my performance appraisal is coming as well as various other sub-committees i am part of in school, and recently i just started a new kick boxing class. Other than monday which was a holiday, the only other day i got home at a decent time after work was wednesday. Tuesday i watched a movie. Thursday was kickboxing and dinner. Friday was dinner and watching The Odd Couple. I think i need to take leave just to relax after the retreat. Still, workwise, things are OK though a couple of parents had threatened to deregister their child (or perhaps have already done so) which made one of the programs a little topsy turvey for the moment. No biggie. All will straighten out eventually. Pity the HOP and Social worker having to deal with it though. Conducted a talk for some parents on behaviour management with my colleagues on friday and it was quite fun. I enjoy the feeling of being able to convey what i want to say to people successfully, a connection of sorts. It was heartening to see the parents contributing and affirming some of the points we have brought up in their own children. After that it was more or less a sharing session and before we knew it, we were invited to continue with another sharing session next week because we ran out of time on friday. Ah. A few more weeks like these and we would fly by 2004 right into 2005. Boy, despite being totally tuckered out most days, ironically, i felt quite energized mentally by having so many things happening (well, most of which i enjoyed, so that helped tremendously).
