The other day when I was in school for a P.E. workshop, a girl in Pri. 3 whom I taught last year for about a week actually called and waved to me when she walked passed me, not in direct opposite direction but from another direction like 90 degrees. I remember her as a girl who's in the best class but wasn't as good in English as her classmates. She's also a very shy and well-behaved girl who would smile sweetly whenever something amusing happened and even when she's puzzled. It was therefore a pleasant surprise when she actually called out to me. She has probably become braver now that she's Pri. 3 and I'm glad :) As times like these, one would feel glad about teaching in a primary school. Children appreciate the little little things that adults do for them. Giving them a smile could make them happy. Therefore, I tend to be more generous when it comes to giving them stuff as compared to acquaintance or colleagues.
Just helped to bake something for someone's colleagues. It's a favour and yet what I get in the end wasn't gratitude but criticism. Criticism that I did not put in effort and that's why it didn't turn out well. Really don't know what to say. Just feel extreme disappointment. It's not something I had to do. I took time off from my own stuff to prepare everything from scratch without any help and that's what I got at the end. Even said that she probably wouldn't want to give to her colleagues anymore. Come on lah, you want to thank your colleagues, you don't want to bake it yourself. I did everything and now that it's not perfect, you keep on criticizing and criticizing. That's what you are good at. Want to put on a front and yet want to make use of people to do it. Forget it. Might as well throw everything away lah. It's only oilier than usual and make so much noise.
Hate it when people waste my time.Labels: Uncategorized
