missing home suddenly

Yup...am missing home suddenly, i guess that anticipation of going home has made me think about home alot more...sigh! I wonder if i would ever see any other place as home other than Singapore....
Work has been fulfilling, i do look forward to it everyday but am so exhausted after a day with the kids...all 30 of them! And they are slowly able to call me!! Actually..the best they can do is Melia, which is pretty good!! yeah!
REally miss my friends back home..an intimate friendship is hard to build up...

Me me

Yup...that's my new name! meme...given to me by one of my fav kids..Benjamin! Tried correcting him but he refuses to include more than 2 syllabus to my name! Most of the kids just resort to calling me melia never ever Amelia! But i love it anyway! We have been getting alot of asian children lately...especially those that speak only chinese so i have been busy translating and speaking in chinese, got so confused one day that i started speaking in chinese with the other aussie kids and they looked at me strangely! Now i realised the value of learning chinese...i feel quite indispensible, but i'm so horribly hopeless when it comes to writing in chinese!! OH well...i tried!

Everybody talks about everybody

Girls can be so....realised how b-----, my colleagues can be. (Couldn't find a more appropriate word!) I'm starting to get uncomfortable with all the "gossiping behind each other's backs" thing going on at work, its getting so hard to talk to them without getting involved in al the gossiping! Now i just listen and watch what i say...sigh..women...dunno if its an aussie thing or what...

FINISH!

THank You God! Finally managed to finish and produce my last assignment of the year...it was such a huge struggle cos i was under pressure to do well for this assignment and the subject matter was so so complicated and technical. I seriously didn't think i could finish reading it, understand it and write an essay on it...and i couldn't but God could! THanks. Somehow i still don't feel extremely confident about the finished product but i don't have much else i can do cos its due TOMORROW! so there! Had to apply leave just to finish it!
I have learnt something from this...not to do last minute work, start working on essays early and be consistent in my next modules in terms of readings!
Thanks once again God!
