Life...

Just read two good friends' blogs and can't help thinking through what they had posted. One thought about whether there's enough money in CPF for our old age and the other commented about how people should help one another. I sat on my bed wondering about money too. Every now and then, I check my finances to see if it would be advisable for me to take some months of no-pay leave next year. Having a child and keeping my job at the same time is not a problem. It's not a big problem even if my second child comes along. Keeping my job is the crucial thing.

I thought of leaving my job and give tuition to supplement income in the household but I realised that the CPF part is very crucial. I need that to pay my housing loan. If I were to do private tuition, I have to make sure that I earn even more than what I'm taking home now to contribute my share as well as employer's share of CPF into my account. Thus the question of whether it will be enough for old age is swimming in my head.

In all my six years of teaching, it was the first time I had a student spewing the F word at me on Monday. This student of mine have some emotional and behavioral problems which can be rather uncontrollable. I'm not sure if it's just my luck but every year, I do get some interesting pupils in my class. It seems that as the years go by, the kind of pupil becomes worse. Everyday when I go to school and go to my class, I would see this boy. I felt extremely tired as this boy just comes to school to waste time. If some provocation takes place, he would bang tables, throw things and even throw tables and chairs. I try my best not to go near him and ignore him as much. He refused to do work and just wanna play with the classmates. The classmates know about his condition and just goes along trying very hard not to trigger any matter that will cause him to flare up. Once he starts to flare up, the vulgar language comes on automatically.

It dawned on me that I must teach my own children well. Home background is very important in the course growing up. Childhood is very important. The type of childhood we go through may just determine the type of character we will build up as we grow up. I may not be able to give my child all the luxuries in life but I must be very sure to teach the correct values. and give my child a happy childhood. It may not be easy at all but I'm sure Jasper and I will try our very best.

I've been getting headaches rather often these days. Wonder if it's cos of the heat or is it becos there's alot on my mind which needs my attention hahaha. Hope the headaches will go away.

PS : I'm about 3 months pregnant with my second child now. I thank the heavens for blessing me with another child. I can assure all my friends and family that this child is definitely not an accident haha. Jasper and I just felt that it would be nice to have both our children grow up together and while we still have the energy to run after them. We do not wish to wait too long for a second child. I agree that when I broke the news to my family, my mother was totally shocked while my dad and in laws were rather happy about it hahaha. I assured my mother that I would take good care of myself and make sure that I let her know if I like to eat anything or drink any soup to build up my health.

I pray that everything will go well for me and my unborn child and of cos may all the blessings fall upon Jasper, Allyson, Daddy, Mummy, Papa, Mama, Brother, Sis-in-law, Sammi and sis-in-law as well as all my friends.
