Stand Up to say No or forever hold your Peace ?

I don't know how to go about it ( standing up for my rights ) till I met a bunch of friends who did . With that being said , I use to feel so helpless when it comes to standing up for what I BELIVE is right or wrong .

My dad use to tell me , that when I stand up for my rights , I must remember that I am standing for it alone and never expect anyone else to do it together with me . Too much is at stake . Okay , fine .

I stood up for my rights because I wanted to make a difference and it was my decision alone and no one asked me to.

To some , I may seem troublesome but think again , we lead and others follow ? I am not asking for everyone to go to war but I guess a little makes a huge difference .
And if we stood up for what we believe in ... it makes a whole lot of difference .

Now, play nice and with all of the angry faces , we can't live without each other . We need each other to make the world a better place to live it .

Try it and see how it goes.

My Friend Jenny

How's this. My friend Jenny is studying away in London and I can her her voice in my head right now . Boy is she loud !!!!!! I have been friends with her for a long time , hell I even taught her in school .

When I finally thought I got rid of her , she comes to school one day asking for a job !!!!! Okay , we became firm friends , she would just storm into my class and start talking . How do I ever make her stop ? I can't do anything . Never ask her why hehehhe !!! ( Jen you know how I love to tease you !) Such a good girl . She loves to eat and cook but now being so far away from home , I heard our friend is dieting ....

May ---- that's what I usually call her . Don't ask me to call her Jenny , it's a mouthful. A good teacher and a funny one at that too. She loves her students but one thing I can't stand is the pampering that she gives them .....

But May will always be May . She can't be JUne or JUly ........................

sO What's instore ?

Hmmm ........ good question. To begin with I will definately plan to wake up slowly . Then laze around for awhile and set to do the things that I want to do . This is usually my plan however this time I have decided to come up with plan B .

I think I rather not plan just yet . I will have to see how it goes . There are a million things I could do with 2 weeks . I am looking forward to a wedding which is of course for the million time it's not mine !!!!! But .. all the same it's a wedding that I will be attending .

Okay enough about weddings . The plan .... the best thing is never plan a plan . Today being a Saturday , as usual it's church . Then back home . Okay that is not a plan . Better still wait for other days to see if I could do some window shopping .

A pig I slept like ..........

A pig I slept like ;when all I could think of was the color pink;
A pig I slept like; when everything was going my way;


A pig I slept like; for I snored through the night;
A pig I slept like; for there was no tomorrow;


A pig I slept like ;for all in my head was that funny kinda hum;
A pig I slept like;when I sang that song;


A pig I slept like; and not much I could do;
A pig I slept like ; when the alarm of my clock went and it was time to wake up !!

I speak and I have spoken

I was not nervous for I was prepared and I came prepared , It was like a prayer which I said to myself that I desire to do this right , what ever it took to get it right.

Eyes were watching me and my every move . I can't screw this up as I had people depending on me , the children ... It was always the children that mattered the most , I could not let them down . I need to show them what I was made of .

It was something that I normally would not do and I would back out straight away without batting an eyelid. Funny , I could have said NO but I did not .

I embraced what was said and I knew what I must do . No more running away this time I would meet it head on . I will not falter nor sway in what I am about to do .

I asked to be calm and relaxed for the day , as I opened my mouth to speak I knew that , I have overcome my shyness. No turning back now . It's with great gladness , joyfulness and thankfulness that not only was it a perfect day, it was also a day of how I found myself.

Teacher Can Your Roar ?

It was a quiet day in class and all of a sudden there was a roar in my class . Now, how could that be ?
For I was sure , there were no lions or tigers in my class,
It's okay I thought , it's their way of having fun ,
But I was wrong for the roar went out of control.

The whole class started to roar and they were giggling alright!!!!!!!!!
Well I asked a few boys to roar in front of the class , a grunt or two made it's way in . It was a pretty fun sight and we had the giggles from the girls ...
It may sound silly at that time but the whole class had fun doing it .

And as for me , that is just a normal day in class , with laughter and tears and I would not trade it for anything less.

MY Shoes Went rippppp.........................

My shoes went rippp;
and all I could think was of the new pair that I would buy;
It may sound familiar to you , but the time has come to get a new pair instead;
That buying bug bit me when I saw an ad in the papers just the other day !

Oh my ! what a shine and a bargain .... I have to have that pair but my old shoes are still okay . Out to the field we went one sunny morning and how we embraced what we saw there ,

For there at the tracks were two goal posts and all the memories came flooding in ... how once upon a time I would run free in the field . Alas , I thought what a sight to behold when I started a short jog as all of my limbs are fully retired ! And jog that I did and I had so much fun ... being free and surrounded by something so familiar to me.

On and on I went , it felt to so good at last . We were there for hours and the heat was beat and on us. Soon it was time to go , I hated to leave my once upon a time cool place , but we had to go .

With my shoes still going strong , I willed myself to send the kids home, up and down I went .... Finally , as I sat down to rest and I saw the most shocking scene . To my horror , my shoes came apart . It was a huge tear . Oh , what would I do !

The sports is this Sunday and I need a pair fairly quick . I said goodbye and a prayer for my torn shoes . It has served me well . It's out of pain now and I threw it in the bin....

..... for now , sitting at the corner of my room is my new pair of sports shoes , I promise to treat it with honor and respect this time.

It's Over............................... for now

What a week of exams ............... phew , finally it's over . Finished marking all of the papers and what next ? I asked myself .

We , have come to the end errr.................. it has ended and now we have to fill in the progress reports .... shucks !!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's that time again .

What will I say or write .... maybe I could just say something simple , short and sweet .... hey wait a minute , teachers are not supposed to be sweet y'all !!!!!!!!!!!

I mean we even can't say the child is dumb even though deep down we know that he /she is . Hey ,this remark is so cruel !! . Forget I said that . Okay maybe not dumb in that sense . Better still .. my teacher is so dumb that she forgot how to count ? Or how about this .... my teacher is so clueless that she can't even understand herself !!!!

Yeah it's okay I make fun of me ... after all it's teachers day today ... so happy teacher's day out there .

Exams Fever and Saturday Nights Fever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it's here once again . No, I normally do not dread exam week because I am not the one who is sitting for it !!!


Tell ya, it's the simplest form of exams . They go home and learn what is going to come out and with that simple open book test, there are those who still make mistakes . So cute ............. just to look at them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially when you have some smarty pants in your class , and they go round helping their friends!!!!!

Whatever it is I know they try their best not to let ME down. Having said that, there are parents who are never satisfied , well I just can't please everybody.

It's not a big thing but they will be chaos when so and so had higher marks than her child and it's not fair.

Life is never fair . It squeezes the living daylights out of you :) It also depends on how you look at life ................

Anyway , tomorrow is another brand new day and we will just see how they do ...

Mistress Of Ceremony???? '............. Is there such a thing as this?

Okay I have been asked to be the MC for my sports day . So far as of yesterday , I have not had the feeling of chickening out if you are wondering .......... What I will do is , I will have a few practices in front of the mirror .

My stomach is good, not acting up...................yet . Still however , remains to be seen . Cool I am cool ... as a cucumber . Here are what some of the little snides that I have come across since Thursday ...................... ( please go fill in the blanks !!!! ) Yes , I marah .

a) Eh , you better announce properly ah or else .................
b) Your English must be good ah !
c) You don't panic us ah !
d) What la you ,this simple thing you can't do ah !

I am patient . okay you guys, you have said all you want to . Just wait till the end of the sports day and see what happens . No , I will not point fingers but I will blame everyone except Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does that sounds fair?????????

Which reminds me of this story ... Where everyone wanted to be the big Kahuna and in the end there was no !@#$ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winning...........

I have never won anything in my life , till now................. the swap . How do I feel about winning ? Nice for a change . Oh , there was a time when I received a parcel . Inside this neatly wrapped parcel ,was 7 little chicks ................... colorful ones .


The best part is ......... until today I don't even know who sent them to me . I called everyone up . Friends and cousins all said alike , "Nope , not me !

Actually winning isn't everything . The most important part of it all is the joy of participating in the event .


So , I will wait patiently till the postman delivers my gift and like a little girl , I just can't wait for it !!!!!!
