Change in the present
Affects the future, someway, somehow...
He used to be part of a trio. Being late is normal, no books to class, normal.
Playing paper football in class is normal too; to disregard the teacher teaching in front is okay.
Being loud
Now, he is on task. He asked to confirm if what he is doing is right.
He ignores his duo friends and focuses on given exercises.
He improved in his recent Math exam is now about 10 points away from passing.
He used to be 3 times further than that from the passing mark.
Now, hearing his improvement and how near he is to achieving something that seems possible now,
he actually had to double confirm with me: "How many marks more to pass, teacher?"
I hope he sees in him now what I saw and still see in him: POTENTIAL.

Anyone out there?
I think H is screwing with me again.
Need a shoulder to cry on but there is none.
Well, whoever that offers might regret too cos I'll be ranting non-stop. =S
I seem to be focusing more on the things I cannot do and not doing well than noticing positive stuff going on around me.
Por que?
However, I would like to thank my housemate, Sharon, for bringing up the fact that Natasha is now very interested in learning compared to how she first was, disinterested and lost hope.
There are many more Natasha that I overlooked in class, and I need to pull myself back together, at least for Natasha.
BUUUUT, tomorrow is not Natasha's class! =S

I just found out...
when I'm stressed,
sweet drinks help, it seems.
So now my favourite drink is Ribena!!
Tomorrow is the new term for school.
Another 15 weeks (plus minus) to make an impact and push these kids to a whole new level they never thought they could achieve, or never even knew about.
They are like any of us, full of potential.
But how do I make them see what I see in them?
当局者迷，旁观者清。。。

Cassiopeia
She is my first, and she shall be named Cassiopeia.
I shall always be reminded of the good ol days and bitter sweet memories.
Where there is life, there is still hope.
Always keep the faith.

Today...
At time where my guess is as good as yours,
And darkness, a blanket,
Yet see light in places that lights shine not.
A beginning, yet the end;
Dawn-to-be; everything seems different yet the same.
And it feels just right...
