When 'digress' seems like an understatement...

The plan was, after work, fetch the kids, go home and clear my pile of worksheets that was waiting for the precious red ink.

Then, digression starts from 'The plan was...'.

Got home only at about 9pm. Lazed around with my Darling D in the air-con room under the blankie. Talked about this and that, read a book, had a mini-wrestling match, played peek-a-boo, had another mini-wrestling match, got ourselves frightened out of our pants and yeah, you could say we had a little mother-son bonding time.

He got droopy-eyed and so put him to bed.

By then, it was way past the planned time.

Looked at my book shelf to search for something I can't recall. I ended up clearing it!

Actually, it was a sad thing to do.

Mostly, it was all my notes from NIE, since 2003!

I didn't know I killed so many trees within my 2 yrs there. Cos, boy, did I have a mountain of notes all neatly filed up.

It has been there in the book shelf for like 5 yrs, untouched, mouldy and yellow.

It was such a pity to throw them away cos I could recall the sweat, the toil and trouble getting all the notes, zapping 'em, takin notes. Every single notes, even all the lesson plans from my practicum.

But it was time to let go.

*Sob sob*

A few things I did keep cos too precious to let go. And of cos, the certs. Life here is all about the paper chase, ain't it. So never get rid of evidence that you're a genius.

Remember this?

Like who uses the transparencies now, tell me.. I couldn't bring myself to throw them away cos I've still got 92 (I think) out of 100 pieces left. Just gimme time for me to figure out what can do with them.

I've still got my PSLE cert.
