Pinky and Her Break
What is the most exciting thing of being a government school teacher? (I have to highlight the GOVERNMENT as I have no idea if the private school teachers have this ‘privilege’.)
You’ll get to enjoy tons of holiday. From school holidays which happen every couple of months, public holidays, brief break for special event or occasion to 7 days of cuti rehat, 14 days of medical leave, 60 days of maternity leave for the ladies or 7 days for the men whose wives are in labour.
So, here I am now, holiday. Not exactly holiday, better to be said a short break that need to be replaced on saturdays. Since my bf has off to Sydney for his sis’s graduation + family vacation, I have gotta spend my break in Ipoh. Or otherwise I’d probably be in Subang, KL now with my bf, friends for food, for shopping, for whatever which is fun. So, I have given myself a list of things to do these few days, so that I will not end up spending my days blankly.
1st day of the break: Send my car to the workshop for services and check-ups. Then check out the price for putting on the tinted thingy called Air-Cool, V-Cool or Whatsoever-cool. If reasonable, then deal. Give my car a thorough cleaning. Meet my friends+colleagues for a movie or something. Will do some research on teaching Physics in English in the evening, or do some planning for the upcoming lesson and examinations.
2nd day of the break: Will try out the ‘Hup Tou Soh’ recipe my bf’s mum given me. Hope that my cookies will be half as tasty as hers. Then, still will work for my work in the evening.
3rd day of the break: Promise to hang out with a new but good friend of mine for lunch and chat and shop. I love having long chat with her. She’s that kind of girl you can talk about everything even you’d just met her. Funny girl whom likes to hold my hand when she misses her bf. Yeah…darn near forgotten to buy a mouse for my laptop and a pen-drive…and some clothes, shoes, bags, ‘pan-leng’ stuff etc etc. Haha. The 1st two are priority. Then do survey for physics reference books and teaching coursewares for school.
4th dan 5th day of the break (which is the weekend): Probably will just hang out with family since sis and bro-in-law will be back. And call some friends out for a drink as it will be a long weekend plus the Monday off for Labour Day. Hope that they are all back.
6th day of the break: Happy Labour Day to all the people who work their butt off for the sake of living!! And today is the day my bf will back to Msia, and can have long chat with him once again.
Wish that my break will be spent accordingly to my plan. And wish that you people out there, blessed with good health.
