Something unethical

This week is the exam week for those who are still schooling in secondary level. Haha..The indolence that grips inside of me is increasing in me as time passed us by. I never realized until i told my friend that i overslept for consecutively three days. It seemed that my mind kept reminding me to go and grab some rest while i still can during this week because no teaching is going on for the entire week. To top it off, the following week is the school 2nd half term break (Hooray!!) and i decided to take my own sweet time to plan for my lessons but nothing came across my mind so far. Ironically, im getting nervous too as the lecturer would be coming for the 3rd observation and hopefully it'll be the final one. Stress is mounting whenever im reminded of this particular thing.
Well, i did something unethical today as i helped my students during their exams. A few of them actually asked me for the meaning of words. Initially, i refused to help because i'd be violating whatever rules that the school or MOE has but eventually i did explain partly to them what was it about.
Being a teacher was fun and enjoyable sometimes but stressful and hectic most of the time. It depends also what kind of students you are assigned to teach and what subject you are dealing with also. The suffering is needed to develop perseverance and patience and may eventually abound in Hope. Not unbearable i would say. Jesus is still my Greatest Teacher of all.

"Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and i will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." -Matt11:28-30-

Simply Delirious

when i was planning and preparing for the entire evening's celebration the other day, i was ecstatically struck with the ideas that flowed in my mind. i just felt excited when i came to think of how wonderful my God was that we were able to celebrate each other's lives. In fact, he is special to me all this while.
The moment i picked him up that day, i made him signed an invitation card for verification purposes and i told him that i didn't intend to take the wrong person out. Both of us, flashed each other a silly smile. A brief conversation was exchanged during our drive to Mid Val, asking each other how were we coping with our stuff. I was pretty delighted to know that my plan was going smoothly that day.After the lunch, we headed to the cinema. The ticket for Rush Hour 3 was bought beforehand and andrew actually asked me, "did you get the Gold Class ticket?"..ya, well i wish i could afford that andrew but too bad..=(
Later in the evening, we arrived at a mediocre-affordable diner, Kaki Corner just after we came out from Leisure Mall to get a Penang map. Soon, i asked him to unwrap the present and the birthday card. I wasn't sure whether he would love the gift but i just took the hazard to get it for him when i didn't know what to buy for him at that critical moment. Phew!!thank God at least i was able to choose the gift that was still within my budget=).
No doubt, we had a wonderful, delicious, considerably sumptuous repast. It wasn't merely the food that made the moment so exceptional but the person that you are spending time with. Ya, we had a whale of a time chit chatting and laughing at my initial plan for that night. Silly me..
Occasionally, we celebrate special events to commemorate something worth remembering and cherished. I believe even if we had only a simple one, it would be good enough for us. This celebration, i would say,was like the first celebration that i ever had with him once again. It revived the feeling of appreciation towards God's love and ours, for each other. Truly and ultimately, im so grateful to God of how He works His wonders in all this!!

something ironic?

Seriously,

I do not teach.

Instead,

they teach me how to appreciate myself,
they teach me to be more creative,
they teach me to use my authority,
they teach me to judge conscientiously,
they teach me to think out of the box,
they teach me to possess real patience,
they teach me to listen to the voices of their hearts,
they teach me to envision where the future would bring us to,
they teach me the trend of the new generation,
they teach me about their concerns,
and most of all,
they teach me the best way that enables me to teach them.

They are identified as "Students of the new generation"

And last but not least, did i teach by the way?=)

My Lifetime with Jesus

Walking through this narrow path,
my soul is so blessed knowing
When Jesus carries my burdensome and anxious thoughts,
Leading my brokenness straight to Him,
He paves the way, He draws near,
Unto me, unto me

How could i deny
that His love is from everlasting to everlasting,
I don't have to utter, He understands,
He cares until the end of time,
All i could say now is
My lifetime with Jesus
is a promise to eternity,
the sweetest moment that i could hold on to...
