Yesterday having to call all the parents in my homeroom, I was pretty tired in the evening. I was unconscious by 8:30! Didn't even get up and have dinner would you believe :O this morning woke up feeling very hungry (not surprised), I ate a banana and a cake before I get ready for work.
It must be the mask I am wearing that gives me ulcers and spots around my mouth. Was drinking my water in school and felt that the corner of my mouth felt a bit sore :-/ came home, looked at the mirror and my mouth was basically surrounded by tiny blisters and spots *sigh* #_# add to the unpleasantness of wearing a mask!
Today I had 3 lessons non-stop in the morning, plus I have to call the parents. Though I only have the morning first period to call however experience taught me yesterday that most parents haven't even got up yet during that time, so I thought I'll need help to finish calling all the parents and still being able to email the updates to school by noon. I called for help. After I finish all my lessons at 11:35, my colleague told me that our dear student development officer went to my colleague's desk and asked 'how come you are calling the parents, you shouldn't be call them, it should be their class teacher, Miss Li makes the phone call'. Colleague didn't make a noise. Apparently he went to my desk, saw my fully packed timetable and went back to my colleague and said 'OK, today you can help Miss Li', she then replied 'I know, that's why I was helping her in the first place cos she told me she had a full schedule this morning, it's impossible for her to make all the phone calls in time for 12pm' - The officer responded that it was the Principal's idea that only class teacher should make the call 'cause we want to appear as 'friendly and nice' instead of having admin. staff to call which sounds too 'technical' - *sigh* did he think we class teachers are too free or something!
That was the little episode today, tomorrow we have to call parents again (at least it's the last this week! Thank god), I swear that some parents are starting to find us annoying rather than 'friendly' - they must be thinking 'don't you have better things to do?' Yeah I do actually!!
One good news today though, next Monday and Tuesday the entire school will be closed for 'thorough and deep cleaning' as a preventive measure against H1N1. We were all thrilled (lol). Though this Saturday we still have to go back for more workshop, it'll be half day, finishes at 12pm, after that Katty's booked the lunch buffet at Cafe Hyatt, Shatin to celebrate *nice*. She said today 'we can REALLY enjoy our buffet this Saturday now!" - agree :)
Tonight's dinner is gonna be bitter melon fried with eggs, you might wonder what is bitter melon. It literally tastes a bit bitter, hence the name. But it's very healthy and it's considered 'cool' type of food. More for me :) Just for your information, I use to eat the ripe bitter melon, its seeds are very (red) sweet :), that's how I know bitter melon when I was young. For cooking, we only use those green ones, can't really cook the skin of the ripe ones. One only eats the seeds if it's ripe. You can see the difference between the seeds on a green bitter melon :)
Apart from bitter melon fried with eggs, also gonna have eggplants and sweet beans fried with sausages. That's it for tonight's dinner.
Ah babyplus' finished now, shall head to the kitchen...
