我遇见了我的怦然。:)

一个很有理想的他。
一个让我很舒服的他。
一个会照顾我的他。

也因为喜欢他有理想，不想让自己牵绊着他。。。
而他，也知道自己现在什么也不能给我。。。

就这样，我将开始学习慢慢地把他推到 "buddy zone"。
Terence 在的那里。Kai Kiat 在的那里。:)
让他变成我不会爱上的、最好最好的、最懂我的那个“难朋友”。

很庆幸有这么一个他，很坦诚、很体贴的他。
很庆幸他的体谅、庆幸我们昨晚能那样地摊开来谈。
心有一点酸酸的，但也轻松了许多。

他说："Maybe I might regret in the future (that I give up the chance now). Then I shall bear the consequence :P"

我们的未来是个未知数。
也许每个人在生命中都曾经遇过这样一个他 —— 一个彼此互相喜欢却不能在一起的他。

会过去的。也许有一天，你会遇上一个能让你同时拥有《梦想》与《爱情》的人。

在那之前，我们就努力为着自己的梦想加油吧！:)

Miss Lim's Batch 6 - Met as Strangers, Live as Friends. :) 

Welfare :) 

Logism :) 

Operations :) 

Programme :)

Just finished distributing 'flyers' to the 'di dis' and 'mei meis'. Some of these Little Friends call me 'Hui Qi Jie Jie'. :)

Every batch, from 1 to 6, is precious to Miss Lim. They were the reason why I held on to my job despite not being paid well. They have given me many priceless memories.

Batch 6 - 58 of them, unique and special in their own ways.  The quiet ones, the noisy ones, the foreground and the background leaders... They all unite as one. No segregation between CCA Leaders and Student Councillors. The bond is PRICELESS! :)

For the past five and a half year, I have watched so many of them evolve from ignorant 'kids' to worthy, resilient and selfless (WRS) leaders. So many of them, with the school values (3 Rs - Responsibility, Respect and Resilience) deeply instilled in them. So many of them, some of whom did not know how precious they are, found their worth and meaning in life through our Leadership Development programmes. THIS has brought me tremendous joy. THIS has been my motivation throughout my working life. :)

Very soon, Miss Lim shall have to bid good-bye. To the 58 of them and everyone else in this second home of mine. I do not expect anyone to know exactly how I feel. :) But it is comforting enough to know that some of you will always be around to 'haunt' me (as Buddy Ju put it). I know, I know... This is part and parcel of life. I will be okay. :)

And I sincerely hope that I would be able to make a difference in the new place where I am heading. :)

On a lighter note, I met my 怦然 recently. I have been too afraid to talk about it because I am worried that things may not work out. Anyway, at least I am happy for now. :)

Many amazing things have happened to me in my 5 years, 6 months and 14 days with Woodlands Ring Secondary School. In another 3 months' time, I will be taking flight, leaving this second home.

Meanwhile, I got to work hard and tidy up this place for the next lucky owner of this small but cosy corner in my humble second home. :)

It is not going to be easy but it is time for these changes to take place. Jia you, Qiqi! :)

If it is not too much to ask for, please lend me your hugs and many words of encouragement as these changes take place in my life. I am slowly 'packing up my emotions' and getting ready to detach myself from both the 'mature' and the 'little' friends here. But I know, more challenges lie ahead of me even after I cry buckets of tears when I leave this place. I know I will need a lot of encouragement till I rise again in my new career.

你 说孩子 勇敢的去闯
去 看世界的模样

二十五岁半的我觉得，一个人的生命里，有六个最重要的人... 虽然我生命中的六个，只剩下一个，还是希望不管你们在哪里，都一样看得到我为自己小小的梦想所付出的努力... 我希望成为你们的骄傲！:)

Off for kumon again...

No mistakes tonight please! And hope the boss would not ask me about why I want to quit!! :p

Recently, I have developed a love-hate relationship with my job.

I have come to an age when passion doesnt keep me motivated in my job anymore. I need money; a lot a lot of it to make up for the 'losses' for the past 5.5 years.

5 years ago, I go up to the classes everyday, chase after the students for submissions... I send emails after emails, I 'visit' the teachersat their workstation to get the document I needed to complete my work... And I could still smile and be happy and contented about my job.

Now, I do the same thing and I feel drained, very very drained.

And I know, LIM HUI QI, THIS IS IT! The search begins again.

Superboss once said, "There will be times when you realised that the results do not justify your effort."

最近，我深深的体会到了。

For the past 5 years, I can honestly tell myself, I have been working hard for my goal - to be a Secondary School teacher. Hiccups after hiccups, I am really getting tired. 祈求天公、菩萨保佑我能赶快顺利当上中学老师，完成我的梦想。

Yesteryday, I found out that my colleague who just joined us last year, with only a diploma and 4 years of working experience, is already earning 2.6k. Furthermore, she is entitled to AWS and PB from MOE. Me? I got my degree and have been here for 5.5 years and I am drawing 2.4k with NO BONUS from my company. Now I really realised how much it sucks. You do a lot more and earn a lot less JUST BECAUSE you are not directly employed by the ministry. :(

I symphatise a lot with the new RO for not getting enough support from his followers as well as the management. However, I do get a wee bit not so pleased with him for always 'breathing down my neck' too. Apart from our values system being different, his lack of organization and forward planning sometimes make me really 'sian' about working with him. 不过还好，对他暂时还是很有耐心。Because I know, we are all learning. :)

I still love my students and colleagues a lot. They are my source of joy and motivation. But LIM HUI QI, it is really time to move on!

祝我好运吧！

The best thing that could happen to me now is to be accepted by MOE as a Secondary School teacher. :)
