family outing

how do u tell your gd friend, without hurting her feelings, or making her feel paranoid that she might be in somekind of a mess?

i am very concern. but i dont think i could do the messenger's job. its gonna be so messy. on the rare occasions when i actually mustered up balls to bring up the topic to her, she dismissed it off as nothing. so.. i dont know la.

school seemed to drag on for HOURS. after lesson, we had staff meeting. a long one that is. seemed like so many pple wanna say so many things.

i feel quite zombiefied at times. spacing out. tired la. reaching singapore way after midnight and forcing myself to get up at 5.30am for work is not an easy feat.

BUT i am quite pleased that i have never taken a day mc on a monday or tuesday.. a day after i came back from kl. so quite a huge deal for me la. and the husband has been so supportive, buying my tickets back, ferrying me to and fro the bus station (or airport whenever i managed to scour those 80sgd-return cheap-cheap plane tix) AND making sure that i dont miss a day of school. he's like my wonderful (tall&hairy) cheerleader.

besides, if i take mc, my family will give me grief to no end. my parents would give me friday-sermon-esque of a speech abt we having responsibilities and not short-changing our students/work/employers.

not booking out of 'tekong' this weekend. meet the student's parents meeting on fri, ending waaaay late and on saturday theres some hiking to bukit timah with your family outing which the school is organizing.

last term, i dragged my brother to sungei buloh. he will never fall for the 'come follow me, there are alot of chicks coming along as well' trick again. the husband refused to indulge in any hill climbing, much less travel 300km down to sg to participate and my parents would think i am bloody out of my mind.

family day alone. *sob-sob* how bloody oxymoronic is it? i hope some of my other colleagues will come family-less as well and we all can bond together and mop abt how our families let us down in time of need.

climb the bloody hill together.

the 'family-day' hiking on bukit timah trip is compulsory. with or without family for the staff. haiyah.
