ONE MORE DAY AND I'M DONE WITH THIS CRAZY PLACE!

Can't wait to go to Hong Kong and Singapore. Tickets to Hong Kong from Australia seriously cost me a bomb :/ Oh well, all about bad timing...placement in the middle of my holidays, cheap sale tickets to Hong Kong from Australia just released this week and...ah anyhoooz, I really need a holiday right now. The past week has treated me a lot better compared with the previous two weeks. Workload is still crazy...but I think I'm starting to get used to working so hard so it doesn't actually feel like I'm working so hard anymore? Does that make sense?

I really appreciate how "normal" I am in terms of language development too. Been focusing on teaching phonics and spelling this week and I can't believe all these "rules" involved in spelling (and reading words) that I NEVER knew. It was tricky trying to look them all up and learn them all...sometimes having to figure out the exceptions and yada! Trying to work out the science behind the language and the all too many weird-bizarre-exceptions has made me realise all over again how amazing the human brain is. It's amazing that we can learn it all from young just through I don't know...exposure? Or magic. It sure feels like magic, the way some people can just get it all while others struggle so much...

When tomorrow's finally over, my life shall once again be filled with wonder! Not that it isn't filled with wonder right now. No wait, actually, NO IT ISN'T! I haven't had any time to myself at all...But tomorrow's the last day and I over prepared yesterday I suppose....I mean, who prepares twelve different games/activities for one day, I guess I did go a little overboard. I only ended up using 5 of them, cos alright, I'll admit that my child this week is a lot easier to manage behaviourally and doesn't go "I'm bored/Can we go to the gym/art room/music room" every five minutes unlike previous little terrors. Honestly, these kids look cute and innocent but can literally drive big grown adults like us to tears just from their refusal to cooperate. I mean, it's all fine for them to have their tantrum and to run around like they would die if they didn't run, but for most of us...we need to PASS this thing, and it honestly doesn't look good when your supervisor comes round and sees your kid in a state of total discontentment. There I go, I'm rambling about unimportant nonsense again. Should probably try to get started on some of the reports I have to write... #brainiscloudy

Some visuals from the weekend!  

Rooftop bar chillin' with Wanhui. Might be going to GoldCoast with her at the end of February and she'll be staying in Melbourne for a good 3 days after too. So many things to look forward to!
Hehe I'm on a polaroid wall! 
One of the many dogs I meet everyday!
