i am really blessed.(: 

whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say: it is well, it is well with my soul.

cath, my colleague is quitting and i don't want her to quit! ):

i'm forced to keep stepping out of my comfort zone. its good, but it gets tiring.

today i went with one of the students to see a doctor cos she has constant headaches and she vomitted and she can't sleep well. the doctor recommended her to see a psycologist cos shes too stressed apparently. its crazy. every kid who's in this school is crazily competitive. what's wrong with them? 
while walking back to the hostel, i told her to just chill, take it easy and have fun while she's young. i mean there's a limit to how hard you can work right?  she then said that its not possible for her to do that cos firstly, her study table is next to her bed( i don't know how that makes any sense, cos if it were me, i would have more reason NOT to study) , secondly, she's aiming for scholarship, and thirdly she's taking 10 subjects(It's crazy! cos she's under the IP program and only like a few would be counted for A levels).

i can't let my kids grow up here. 

I have never been happier. (:
