Sore throat! Sore throat!

Just got my pay last night. Comfortable amount but I know that I must use the bulk of it to clear as much of my bills as possible. One lesson learnt as I entered the working world : Never spend beyond your means with credit cards. You will NEVER be able to clear that bill with next month's pay because there are more expenses next month. Strange because everyone knows this. But as humans, knowing is never good enough. The soul seeks to experience.

"You can know yourself to be generous, but unless you do something which displays generosity, you have nothing but a concept. You can know yourself to be kind, but unless you do someone a kindness, you have nothing but an idea of yourself. It's your soul's only desire to turn its grandest concept about itself into its greatest experience. Until the concept becomes experience, all there is is speculation..."

Not going to meet my dear today. Plans for the day :

(1) Exercise at the gym
(2) pamper myself a little (still thinking about how to do that...shop?? heeheehee *evil thots*)
(3) Meet the Famous Five for dinner at cafe 211, holland village. Its been a long time since the five of us went out. Just the five of us. I miss you guys!!!

Messaged Stephanie. She's getting on ok. Breaking up is never easy dear. Be strong. I'm always here for you. Just a phonecall away. Wanted to meet up for coffee in town after gym but her schedule is packed all the way....

Was bowling with students last night at Pasir Ris Bowl. Had fun. It was sweet of the students to pamper us. They cooked so much for us and all we did when we arrived was just to sit down and eat. Its nice to be able to relate to students like they are your friends, at the same time knowing that these students know exactly where to draw the line and the respect is still there. What a sensible bunch of kids! They are why I love teaching.
