I often have this dilemma...to blog in Chinese or English?
I would often have this voice in my mind telling me: You are a Chinese teacher, so you should blog in Chinese more often.
But frankly speaking, I blog faster in English and most of the time, I do not have the luxury of time, although I feel I can better express myself in Chinese.
Sometimes I wish I am monolingual. The so-called 双语政策 has made many of us half bucket this and half bucket that. I look at my students now, they are not even half buckets. But I don't deny that being bilingual has its advantages, just that I really hoped I can be more proficient in both languages.
Updates:
1) Went to my first smappie wedding. Cozy location, great first march in song, beautiful bride, awesome gowns, great food, wonderful company. The couple gives me this very comfortable feeling...they are very nice people and will be very blessed in the years ahead. =)
2) Mum is back from Xiamen. I had this terrible nightmare the night before she left. I am so glad she is safe and sound.
The sucky feeling is back again...I wished I didn't move so far away from her.
3) Work is piling up, stress too. Finding it hard to cope with 3 grad classes.
4) Colleague commented on the Sec 5 batch I am teaching now. She wasn't very nice with her words, and she based it on the one lesson (relief) she had with them last year. Although she wasn't talking about my students, I felt very upset. NA students are far from perfect when it comes to behaviour but there are still a lot of good in them. Why must she condemn them like that when she doesn't even know them well?
I am sorry to say this, but I thought Christians shouldn't judge people like that?
5) Met Ju on Friday night and had a nice chat with her over Bakers' Inn Warm Chocolate Cake. I hope she finds someone good. WJ and I both agree that she is a very very nice girl and she deserves someone to dote on her. I am sure her prayers will be answered. =)
6) Rin called me at 6 plus am on Fri with the greatest news...Mayday is coming! In April, at Padang! Yes, it's Padang! She reminded me the last time we went TOGETHER was many many years ago. Then, I won a pair of concert tix to Mayday concert and asked her along. I think it did a lot of good to her. Ho ho...Mayday is coming!
7) WJ and me are workaholics. We spent most of our time working and talking about work. But we are still very much in love and I just feel that marrying him is so much better than dating him. =P
Going for Isabelle and Jordan's Baby Dedication soon...Looking forward to seeing the 2 babies!

Gladeys, Qiuhua and I will be going for Mayday con too! =)
Salah, the 2003 concert was a Lianhe Zaobao contest that you made me enter, to increase your chances of attending. So I did win, and for about 5 seconds I considered taking my sister instead of you, but I did what's right in the end!!
7 years later, we're off to see Mayday again :) Reminds me of all the SHIN concerts we attended. I honestly think we attended every one of their Singapore concerts. Remember the one at Sultan of Swing?!
