My 10th student has arrived!
It was quite a wait from my last new assignment... perhaps the delay was due to lunar new year period? Or was it recession?
Latest Update: Lost this student to a school teacher... oh well, the mother feels school teacher is best, private tutor is just 2nd grade. Too bad... it's defintely not my loss!

Challenging Times...
I never enjoyed working with a few of my colleagues in China. I guess from today onwards, I have 1 less worry of working with one of them because...
she was made redundant last week.
I'm still in shock... Perhaps more shocking news to come within the next few months?
Those words 'if I have to cut 10% to save 90 I will cut 10%...' are ringing in my mind now.

Back to Loner Seat...
Today is my neighbour, Elaine's last day together with me in the same cubicle. So from next week onwards, I'm back to my loner seat. All because of a new senseless pantry area #$%&^@#@#!
Anyway Joanne and I bought a v-day cake from The Patissier to do a mini 'farewell'.
Sakura - Flavoured mousse layered with chiffon sponge and diced strawberries... It's heavenly!

Tired...
Finally I can take a short breather at work... been so busy these 2 weeks trying to clear an award submission deadline. It's crazy! I even brought work home~ my first in this current company... With His grace, I managed to pull it off ^^
Read an online news that our parent company is listed as top 15 companies which might not survive 2009... hmmm.... sounds bad....

지루한 모임
Had a boring lunar new year gathering at my dance teacher's place today... Unfamiliar faces of people I have not met or even seen during my dance days and it's all about who's in whose class like years back? Who remembers?
But it's still great to catch up with 2 of my close dance friends...
Me with Kae Tyan and Lisi :)

Thank You, Lord...
I met a college friend for lunch today and she told me that her father has just passed away.
Last November end. During a holiday trip.
The news came as a shock.
He was only 62, healthy and close to retirement.
But he didn't have the luxury of enjoying his CPF savings... his Life.
Life is vulnerable.
Thank you Lord for giving me this day. A new day everyday. And the strength to live each day.
May you live yours to the fullest each day...
