Encountered him twice

A tiring day really! We did so much work and moved to a new
place--all students worked real hard! Ended up my buying
them cold drinks ( bing1 sha1 is the chinese term ) and
iced green tea. *sobs for money's flying away from my
wallet...* They said black tea would be better, so I guess
I'd order what they like next time. :D After students were
gone I suddenly remember there's no cable for my notebook
in the new office. Then went downstairs to my old office on
the 2nd floor to get my cable back. Didn't expect to see
him, a substitute teacher who's been teaching here this
semester, since his office is on the third floor. He's
using the puter where my cable was right in the IP share
nearby. So I came near and tried to get it without
disturbing his keying in marks for students. But he got up
and gave me a hand...so we were near each other. He gave me
the cable after he got it, and I said 'thank you, teacher (
his name)' Funny to see he got so surprised and said, 'how
come you know my name? I didn't even teach your class.' I
just smiled and left. :P His name was shown above on the
monitor... *grins* :P

Later on I went to the office on the third floor this
afternoon to find my partner who's doing the same lesson
plan. We had to finish some copy and paste and our leader
asked us to turn in the floppy tomorrow. He's back to his
office already. And I felt lucky that he's there since we
had some problem using Word. hehehe my partner called him
to help us with it. She even asked him how old he is...said
she might intro him gals. :P I just sat there and watched
him fixing our stuff. Well...had a small talk and knew he's
leaving for another school. Anyway he's a bit younger than
me, so...period. :)

It's around a year I guess...to keep blogging here. Just
like what I mentioned earlier, no beginning then no ending.
Vice versa, there must be an ending if there's a beginning.
I think it is the time. Last summer break, a semester,
winter break, another semester, and now this summer break.
Time flies ain't it! :D My best friend is living a new
life in another country, and I am to have a vacation in
another country too. Life is lessons to take, truly, and
each day for me...is a brand new world! Enjoy it... ciao
ciao~

Lesson plans

As usual when a semester is to end, it's time to do the
lesson plans. And this time I work with 2 other colleagues,
who are experieced as well and more diligent than me. :P
Our leader told us the part we got to finish before July
1st, and the rest is our typing it out. After dinner I
started to work on the not-difficult-but-time-consuming
plan. :P Lucky I finished it by 10 p.m. otherwise I would
be mumbling for my lack of sleeping hours. Why didn't I
start earlier while no school this afternoon?? Because...I
went hang out with some friends, had lunch in a Italian
restaurant ( vegetarian of course ) in the mountains ( on a
hill more likely...) Hah the same place I had lunch once
with a mushy guy last year--bleh he's still sending
'creepy' stuff and we all wondered when he will truly give
up. :P

Final exam

School asked me to watch them study and do the test for the
first 2 sessions. Then I had some time spare for keying in
the evaluation of students' performaces. Since we are to
move to new classrooms and offices, I asked in advance if
some volunteer to help me with moving stuff. Needless to
say...*big smile* ^_^
I have to remember 2 things tho--bring enough big plastic
bags to school for the moving, and clean my future desk and
shelfs before students put stuff on. Hmm, will be a tiring
day.

The last lecture for this semester

Yah :D finally it's the last day I had to lecture in class!
Students complained to me that they didn't want school to
start at the very beginning of this semester in Feb...and I
comforted them by saying, 'well...but if no beginning, no
ending...then you guys won't have summer break!' They soon
understood it's a must. LOL~ So much fun getting along with
these grade 8 kids. :P

Nice manga

Read some manga today--a good way to spend a relaxing Saturday ain't it. :D Loveless, The Mythical Detective Loki Rangarok, and Dan Detective School! I always enjoy reading this kind of story, partly suspicious and exciting, and partly romantic ( a lit bit will do...most of the time they are not tho. )

He's spitting

My colleague asked me to take over her duty since she had to go for another important task at school. Of course I would give a hand ( extra pay heh ) and then I was in that classroom. A boy kept on sipping some water from a bottle and then I saw him spitting it on the floor. He just looked like one of the delinguents here. But I wasn't to keep silent. :P I told him to stop since it's dirty...and disgusting. Well he then stopped. Maybe those naughty students need more love and care, you know...somehow I think that's the reason they would do something nutty in order to catch our eye. I do hope those who are to give birth can take the responsibility well and give enough love to their offsprings. Love from a teacher is wonderful...but not fullfilling enough. :)

Time for a new life

WW called me in the evening, and I knew her flight to Vancouver was midnight. I asked her, 'happy right?' She answered 'yeah happy!' LOL~ That is my good friend, pretty much the same style as me. It's a high tech era, and I don't think it's a prob for us to keep contact with each other. :P She even used Sky.. to call me ( it's much cheaper to call international this way she said. :D ) And I wish her good luck ( she always has it ^^ ) and have a brand new fabulous life in a new country. ( And, please don't work hard for settling me down there ok I love Taipei. :P )

Met WW beforehand

Yeah like most Chinese would do--in a restaurant again. But this time something 'funny' happened. :P After we stood up and prepared to leave, the woman who sat at the table near us said, 'hey beauty...you didn't finish your food.' Well one friend didn't eat up her food truly. Sometimes we would be in this situation especially when it's buffet. You saw a new dish, kind of strange food but you wanna give it a go so you put a small amount of it on your plate. After you had a taste and found it's awful...you'd just leave it there, wouldn't torture your stomach right? Well...there were so many other customers at many other tables in the restaurant. I just didn't understand why the woman only paid attention on our food. But we were about to leave...but the woman wouldn't stop! She went, 'hey beauty...you didn't finish your tea.' ( This time she referred to me--I didn't drink up the glass of tea. -_- ) and, 'the food in this restaurant are very natural and healthy. Would you please eat them up and drink it up next time you come here?' Errr...my friend and I said 'oh ok' and then left. I still don't understand now--why that woman only paid so much attention on WW and me? while there were many ppl around... :P

Marketing--got no talent for

Couldn't sleep in on Sat; anyway it's NOT uncommon. This time you can
say 'Flo is such a diligent person' since I went for a course that was
about marketing with my best friend WW. Our field's education...how
come we would go study marketing you might wonder. The reason is WW
will move to Vancouver soon, and she can't work as a homeroom teacher
in a middle school there. So she might become a business woman in the
future. It's boring to study in class with bunches of strangers
right...Therefore she asked me to study with her for quite a few hours.
Lucky they prepared a veggie lunch box for me. Woo :P

Ended up having no idea what marketing is tho... -_- Not our fault.
Must be the lecturers didn't look handsome enough. :P ( See how good I
am to find some excuse! ) We decided to leave earlier and went to the
big department store nearby to look around. *chuckles* you guys know
it's never boring while shopping with the right person--we talked and
laughed, made lots of comments meanwhile. Later on we had some snack at their B1, where you can see many stalls selling different kinds of yummy stuff. I know the 2 guys sitting the next door were interested in us...they couldn't stop looking at us from time to time, and talked in
a way which tended to catch our attention. :P Sounded like working out is a trend eh. LOL~ Toooooooo bad! WW's taken ( how lucky that Canadian guy is! ) and I am too lazy to get involved in a serious relationship at this moment. *bats my eyes...* My dear Mr. Right...you'll have to come over and work hard to make me fall for you then. :P

Gathering at Spring

A busy Fri indeed...I had an important appointment in the morning, and
then met friends at noon. Usually we Chinese like our gathering in
either restaurants or cafes. :P That's why we sat at a table eating
fabulous vegetarian buffet in Spring Veggie Restaurant. :D~ altho it's
a bit expensive... After that I went get the passport, then proceeded
to Taipei Main Station and found some clerks there to make my Japanese
trip next month confirmed...then came back to school and had the very
happy 8th class ( for extra pay. ) *big smile* In the evening a friend
paid me a visit. He's introduced to me by ww and came to give me a hand
since something wrong with my puters. Too bad the old pc in the living
still couldn't work, and I told him it's ok if he couldn't fix it.
*yawns...* I'm very tired. And I'll have a busy Sat...@_@ Awww

Goodbye grade 9 students

Graduation day is tomorrow. I had the last class in grade 9...This boy
student Jason came over to me...he's a good student. Not only does well
on his English test, but can play the piano ( I always have a liking to
such students :P maybe it's because I can play a little as well. )
Anyway he came, I thought he's going to say something sentimental like,
teacher...thanks for your teaching for the past 1 year, and I will miss
you after I graduate... *coughs* I was wrong. He went, 'teacher your
figure's so good...' -_- didn't know what to reply then, neither
touching nor meaningful. LOL~ ok ok...don't pick on students who are to
leave. Congrutulations you guys!

Some collection

My collections are sitting beautifully on the desk in the study room. I feel peaceful every time I look at them...What you see is part of my crystal collections.

Magic power...not :P

I was holding 2 stones--a green crystal ball on my right hand and a yellow on my left. It said green ones are good for business while yellow ones are for pian cai like lottery. Urm... How come I am still so poor then? Tell me please my precious stones... :P

Movie Club the last time

I told students to relax and enjoy their last time movie club, since
there will be no pleasant sessions on Wed afternoon no more. This
semester's going to end and they'll be in grade 9, which means they
have to pay all their attention to their CBT. Got to study more then,
poor kids. So it's Sharks Tale, and we watched a fish that pretty much
looked like Will Smith, hey his voice's exactly the same as Will
Smith's...singing and dancing. LOL~

Crystal purchasing

My best friend ww wanna buy some more crystals since she's leaving for
Vancouver. Previously she asked me to go to my shi jei's place and
choose some for her. Later on she decided to come visit me and we could
go together. ( She likes me too much I guess LOL~ ) Thus we were
sitting there in the shi jei's living room, enjoying looking at those
beautiful crystals on the table. I bought some too...couldn't resist
the stones' charm. :P Maybe I'll take a pic and share with you on here
later.

Farewell party at school

No meeting for ETs at my school this afternoon; instead we had a
farewell party for those who are leaving us. Yeah they are not to
retire since they're still very young, but they are substitute
teachers. Our leader said sorry to me a few times since she saw most of
the dishes prepared were not vegetarian--I could only have fried
noodles, fried mifen, and a little fruit. :P Well I don't mind. Maybe
that's why I can always keep fit ( 170 cm, 58 or less kg now. :D )

Wet wet...

Quite a suspective topic, no? :P Too bad nothing interesting. :D It's the first day we had our 90 NT lunch, and the guy didn't put those containers well and there was some soup leaking in the big plastic bag. That's why I had to use some tissues to get rid of the wetness before I brought them to my colleagues. *sighs* ok I must say they are lucky since my service is for free--no commission's been asked ever since. *sobs* :P

It's pretty hot today again, but I don't mind. The classrooms I stay in have no air con. hehehe got used to it of course. Last night while chatting on IRC a nice American friend sent me her pic during her vacation. She's there visiting her bf ( they knew each other via IRC ) and now they are an item. woo~ really broke my 'LD relationship wouldn't work' rule. LOL~ I feel happy for the love birds and I hope friends who are looking for true love online can have the same good luck in this cyber world! :D

Now it's higher class

I had to go to the the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during my break this morning, so a colleague of mine took the job ordering veggie lunch boxes for us. Like what I've said--we got to have high class lunch from now on. *sobs* ( not that we wanna but...) It's 80 NT each now, from another veggie cafeteria in the neighborhood. We teachers are too lazy to walk out of the school sometimes, you know. It's a given that many restaurants here in Taipei are willing to deliver the food you order to where you are ( if not too far away of course. ) Hmm more rice and more vegetables in the paper container, and they taste great! :D I told my colleagues we'll have the 90 NT class lunch tomorrow. :P Woo they are looking forward to spending more money...NOT. LOL~ Too bad they have no choice if they'd like to eat the same with me. :P

What a pity

The boss of the vegetarian cafeteria noticed me that he would put it to an end to deliver lunch boxes to his cutomers from June 8th onwards. It means I cannot have the 50 or 60 NT-worth lunch anymore, and neither do my colleagues and students. *sighs* Life is not perfect... So, I told them we'll have to 'upgrade' ourselves by eating a much more expensive vegetarian lunch box from Wed. :P

A nasty thing for today--got that Martin guy's sms again this evening. He said 'I know we cannot be lovers...but can't we be friends? blah blah blah...' -_- I thought I told him point-blank enough and he still thought we could be friends? :P
