Yvonne Foong -

hey! konnichiwa! I am still alive! yeah! Life is fine but I forgot about Elena's birthday yesterday, how stupid! It's now 2 months since I first started working as pre-school teacher and each day is getting better. My relationship with the children is improving gradually. My PC is all set with a new HDD, installed winXP and changed my network card because the last one fried without my consent. The next thing I need to get is a wireless router. I'm still looking for better deals than RM240 which is the lowest price I found in Sunway Pyramid.

Swee Hong came back from Australia and Yewin had just left for New Zealand to complete his medical bachelor. Now I hope to meet up with Swee Hong, Owen and gang during the CNY festive season. Looking forward to meet Keisha next weekend and hopefully, our NGO will take flight in no time. That's all for now. Toodles!

As I am typing this, Alan is on his way to KLIA. He's going home for more than a month's holiday to celebrate Chinese New Year with his family. I saw him one last time before he left just now but I did not speak to him. At first, he wanted to return on the 28th but he brought the date to the 19th. And finally, he left today because of some stupid discount.

The last time we had a deep talk was on Sunday night. We talked for more than 4 hours together and time passed by in a breeze. How wish I could rewind the time. Cuz I am missing him even before he left! Is this the kind of feeling? When you are so used to seeing him first thing every morning and now he's gone for a whole month? A WHOLE MONTH!?! gee I hope he remembers the promise he made some weeks ago. I didn't even have the chance to remind him.

I hope next month will pass fast.

The father of one student came to school today to enquire about his child's performance in school and the due fees. I told him that she has not been finishing her homework and he was furious saying that this is her mother's job. Later I found out that when the principal told her to show her book to her daddy and mommy, she replied that she has no daddy. Such a sad case. And she's only five! The other day the principal was so mad at her that she scolded her badly but she showed no remorse. She just starred back sharply at the principal without showing any signs of fear. In school, she always want to gain attention from the teachers and be different.

It's really a pity that children are always the main victim in marriage failures.

It's been a week since I got my first salary! I bought myself a new Hewlett Packard 3-in-1 combo. The feeling is magnificient. Yeah I know this is nothing to many people but things don't come easy for me and my family. I used to have an Epson printer but it was terrible. It's always out of order. I hope things are better with HP.

And just when I bought a PSI card and ready to install it, I realise that my PC is infected with a very nasty virus. It terminates every single task that I run. Now I wish I have the money to buy a new PC. *sigh*
