Why is it when a woman is depressed, she binges? And likewise, when she is overjoyed, she binges too? Women surviving a break up are most likely to binge. It just doesn’t make sense to me, i mean, they could have lost their appetite over a break up but it seems that the depression is resulting a reversed effect.
I wonder if men do the same?
"At the end of the lesson, students are able to… " is teaching mainly to achieve the objectives of a lesson? If otherwise, a lesson is deemed a failure? Due to this mis-perception, lessons are often rushed through to meet all objectives targeted.
Educators have to be passionate with what they are meant / hired for - - to educate. The current curriculum contradicts this purpose, hence, classes/lessons are exam oriented. The scenario of most language classrooms is that students are drilled exam questions and formulated forms of the language. They are unable to relate to the lesson lean rt, meaning they cant apply what they have learned outside the classroom. A large number of A1s are produced but the quantity facades the quality of the students’ real language proficiency. It’s really sad…
Upon completion of an English course, the students’ language proficiency must improve, and they must be able to apply language in their everyday life, being able to use the language accurately. This is what i define as a success. I am passionate with what i am doing. initially i had no idea why i am doing what i am doing - i hated it. Going to class, seeing the ‘i -want-to-learn-’ faces made me feel so bad about not playing my role well…it’s a challenging task, and it’s certainly not easy but the achievement is very very rewarding. I love the "i -know-now" looks, i love how their faces would glow with enlightenment.I love how appreciative and thankful they are at then end of the day.I guess that’s how Ann Sullivan felt when Helen Keller spelled her first word. It’s a sense of great achievement!
Today, some Chinese students from China asked why i have never spoken a word in Chinese with them. At times, i was almost tempted to do so, especially when defining meaning of words. I am happy i dint do so - - because i want them to USE the language.
My EEP students are completing their one month course in a week’s time…and some of them will leave for their country…will miss them so much and it’s my hope to see improved proficiency.
I am generally very experimental and adventurous when it comes to food, particularly exotic food. There is nothing EDIBLE i would not eat (except beef of course), and I value authentic ethnic cuisine.
Having the opportunity to taste some African - Nigerian - cuisine excited my taste bud. Never had I tasted such perfectly marinated BBQ. The lamb was so squishy, generously spiced (imported herbs & spices), inviting aroma, and not to mention the taste that dances and lingers on your tongue. A good white wine would be a perfect accompaniment to that ambrosia, also served with jollof rice (similar to briyani / nasi tomato). I could feast on the suya (meat kebab) and meat pie forever.
It would be really wonderful if i have a stomach that could expand like my ham-ham’s cheek pouch…i love eating but my food consumption capacity is so limited….
Once I told him I would not marry him and even if i would, I would not want a baby. I just wanted to stay like how we are now, and things to be the same for years to come. He was sad, he didn’t understand the metaphor I must say.
I wanted not marriage, as I want him to be wanting me forever… always wanting me.
I wanted not baby, as I want to be his baby forever, his only baby always.
I love him, I am not sharing his love and affection with others, not even with our own kids. I want him to call me baby even at my aging years, I want him to always love me and pamper me like a baby, no matter how aged I would be then.
This Saturday is our 4th Anniversary…I dont have to wait till then to be ’surprised’…It was so unexpected! We were out in Sg Wang last Sat…
He asked me to look at the phones on display and asked which one do I like and he got the phone (MTRLA RZR V3i) for me - said it’s for our anniversary. It was only last weekend that he got me a moonstone pendant that I have always wanted - he’s showering me with gifts. I rather have all his time as luxury is earned with the sacrifice of time.
I am anticipating more weekends or even more nights without him around with his elevation in career. It makes me think if i should make myself busy too. I am considering the offer to work in China / Jakarta. It would be hard, it’s far and it would be long - a year. But on the flip side of that, a promotion entails my return.
Many things are supposed, scheduled to happen this year, and early next year. It’s scary how time flies and yet so many things are still undone. Gee, it’s high time now…
I’m in grief…i lost a part of me…a part of me i have nurtured and groomed so long.
Only 2 inches, but a "grown" french - pink lacquered, buffered, and manicured nail!
ARGH….I broke one of my beautifully manicured nails…I’m deeply emotional over the lost, it will take a month at least for me to get over this…
