Little Miss Dreamer

Feeling tired from trying to settle down the greenhorns on the first day of school.. basically they are totally lost about the entire system despite the fact that they've gone through FOP.. begin to appreciate my students from last semester although they were playful and cheeky at times.. Just hope that things will get better as they get used to life here..

Another thing.. seem like the students are not getting what we are asking for in the problem for this week.. not a good sign.. seriously wondering if it's my fault or is it just that they are blur.. but no matter what it is.. am feeling quite defeated.. that the students are were not learning as much as I thought they would today.. sigh.......

Last day to relax before term starts and all hell break lose tmr... Did all the things to pamper myself before the battle begins..

Went for Jazz dance class at Amore with my sister.. did super alot of stretching which made me realize that I'm getting old.. also felt like I was cleaning the floor for Amore as the dance moves involve alot of getting down onto the floor.. was a fun class though I'm aching all over now..

Then went to Amore Day Spa for a FOC session thanks to my credit card's priviledge.. got to use their steam bath and jacuzzi.. it was alright but not fantastic though.. and I'll definitely not spend the money to sign up any package..

After that went to do a little shopping and trim my eyebrows (which is fast becoming bushy due to lack of maintenance on my part).. also bought those cheapo Nivea peel-off mask to have a DIY facial at home..

All I need is a beauty sleep tonight and I'm ready for war tmr... :)

Just got the news that my co-advisor for the interest group I'm running is leaving next month.. she's going to follow her hubby to Sydney for 2 years.. was totally shocked coz we had planned and committed to so many projects and now she suddenly says she's leaving.. plus the other co-advisor is going off for wedding/honeymoon/reservist.. felt totally cheated and betrayed.. all the time they've been committing to projects and end up having me to run the show.. been hoping that they'll help out soon.. and all of a sudden I'm alone with all these projects.. to my horror they're still trying to commit to things that we (or rather, I) cannot do, up to this moment! Decided that I'm not going to care how they see it and I'm going to run the show my way, not theirs!

Bloody irritated......

Been a long week.. brought my students to help out at this Global Speakers Summit.. been waking up at 5 plus in the morning.. rush to the hotel.. scolding students for being late.. settling down the students.. running back to office/ for external meetings in between.. going home late to clear email.. sleeping at 1am every night.. just very glad that the Summit is over and I can finally take a break..

Also went to help Mike for the makeover thingy he's doing for Unicity's customers yesterday.. got soo many customers and was working like mad.. but at least they all look good at the end of the day..

Finally get to take a day off tmr.. going down to NUS to have lunch with Jac... and to slack.. finally some time to slack.......

Btw managed to finish the detox thingy.. it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be.. the maple syrup solution is quite yummy.. and I lost 2 kg!! :)
