And so Cher's Day has come and gone, my very first in the new environment...celebrations were pretty entertaining, the kids certainly put in a whole heap of effort into the whole Oh-lympics themed games and all, kudos to them for a job well done:)
As expected, there was but a trickle of appreciation from the new place, expected, since I've only crossed over for 8 months. The best gift was the big card from my silly form class, full of little words from the kiddos..heartfelt words are still the best gift after all these years :)
I didn't expect much from CH either, or at least I told myself not to...but at the bottom of my heart, I guess I really hoped that I was remembered. Not through fancy gifts, nor elaborate surprises, but just a simple sms that told me that though I was far away, I still occupied a tiny corner of their hearts. Perhaps I'm the only one missing someone...and no one else feels the same..."out of sight, out of mind" is such a depressing concept, but yet so true. Yes we don't work for praise nor rewards, and the job really rewards intrinsically...but sometimes the simplest external reward goes a long way, and warms the heart and powers it for another 1000 miles. Or maybe, I'm just being greedy.
I guess being sentimental will kill me one day...
I have gotten used to being at my new place, but most I would still call colleagues, at most good colleagues, and not yet friends..okay perhaps one or two. A part of me still blamed myself for pushing through with my own decision to go. But yes, it's irreversible so just stop it.
September break is half over, and I have done 10% of my work. -.-'' I'm so dead, haha.
I'm so going to finish setting my draft EOY paper by tonight. YES I AM!! (*self-motivational thoughts*)
