Practicum Observation

Oh God....! This feels really really good! During this ONE WHOLE MONTH, for the very first time, i feel so "freed". No pressure. No more deadlines to meet. No more rushing. What a big relief!!! I am starting to feel a lot better than i did a few days earlier. Or at least i am feeling better right now. I was observed for the last time this afternoon, and the result was more than satisfactory--or so i feel. And now i am starting to dread the last day with my students from Sisovath High School because i don't want to leave them yet. Believe it or not, for this couple of weeks, they have really impressed me with their language ability. And each day with them has been the day of a new lesson for not only the students, but also for me as a teacher. Looking back to the one-week practicum workshop, during which my mind was more than corrupted with all sorts of nasty stereotypes towards students in Sisovath in general, i am feeling guilty to the core now. It is unbelieveable how our lecturers could have come up with loads and loads of scary tales about students in high schools, most of which must have been made up and carefully rehearsed. Anyway, all the best to those friends of mine who are still waiting to be observed by respective supervisors, and all the best to those who have already been observed and given marks to!

man, the story of two good friends is a good example of telling your friend what you feel when you're treated in both good and bad ways. I agree that we must be open to our friends, spitting every single word out of our chest otherwise misunderstanding will pile up and break the relationship into pieces apart. i hope the resentment will be really blown away by the wind of forgiveness. And also hope that good deeds are not only engraved on the stone but also in the heart.

To Anonymous--who happens to be Ratha, our Potatoe friend, thanks you for paying a visit! So honoured, man! Of course, it is best that things are brought out in the open to be clarified before any more damages are caused!

A stranger within YOU

Has it ever occurred to you that there is actually a stranger lurking somewhere inside you? Maybe it sounds really mental and freaking weird here. But I really can’t help brooding over this. And the more I think of it, the more it becomes crystal clear it is indeed true that a stranger is actually living my life, a stranger who has eaten up half of my real “self”, shrouding me with a totally new cover to form a person I hardly recognize. There are times when I feel really happy, but why in God’s name do I look far from happy? It is at this point that people view me in a rather negative light. Even so, the last thing I ever wish to do is, of course, to blame them. I am more than sure that they will never be able to understand me. And then there are other times when I wish more than anything to become very close to certain people. However, my attitudes towards them betray me. Nothing but coldness always hangs in the air in their presence, much to my perplexity. I remember being approa

HAPPY St. Valentine's Day!

Take a careful look around you! There might be someone in the crowd there that wishes more than anything to be noticed by you, someone that you probably knows very well but has always been taken for granted, someone that has always been standing there in your doorway, someone that has always been ready to wipe your tears, and someone that has probably shed so many tears for you without your knowledge. Such a someone deserves attention too! Happy St. Valentine's Day! Make the best out of today!

The Good Old Time (2003)

I got this pic from Mov's facebook profile. Oh man!!! This pic is almost as old as our friendship. We were small and innocent and pretty carefree back then. If i am not mistaken, the pic was taken during our field trip to the Science Center, and those so many energetic young faces you are staring at were scholars from most of the ASEAN countries. Nostalgic indeed!!! Too bad that we have lost touch for quite some time now, and i have no idea what most of them are up to now. Loads of thanks to Mov, without whom i would not have had a chance to get hold of this priceless pic. At least in those many years ahead, i have got a pic of everyone smiling at hand, to which i can always refer for recalling sake.
