I quit the teaching job! Apparently I wasn't doing what a proper teacher should be doing i.e. have the kids sit in their proper places, etc. I decided that I just I as already trying my best and that I just wasn't suited to this job. At least, not one with the expectations of a full-time teacher.

I was feeling a little depressed for the remainder of Friday (when I quit) and Saturday, but it sank in, truly sank in today. I woke up at twelve, feeling stress-free, decided to go out with my sister to watch a movie, return some library books and borrow some when I haven't for the last three weeks (shit, just as I type this, I realise they are overdue). I also feel an urge now to continue my writing and catch up on current affairs, which I have been sadly neglecting. Plus improve my Chinese.

Now I'm also thinking of what to cook for CNY reunion dinner, since my Tuesday will be free.

Well, so I thought, quitting isn't such a bad thing after all, it seems. I didn't realise exactly how stressed I was until I stopped it altogether. I have enough for my China trip, anyway, so just doing coaching shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Anyway, later, I might go shopping with my sister. Our shopping styles have not changed over the years. We will go to west mall, walk one round in Bossini and look at the shelves. If we buy something, we will sit down somewhere for a drink and a chat, happy with our purchase. If we don't buy anything, we will sit down somewhere for a drink and a chat, having decided that there is nothing much to buy.

There are so many mosquitoes in my house now that I think we're all going to die of insecticide inhalation. Unfortunately, I'm not even sure if all that is working. Despite spraying all around and aiming Baygon at the flying insects, there has been no dead bodies of mosquitoes lying around. Argh, why can't they be as easy to kill as ants?

My sister told me that one night, she couldn't sleep and went out to the balcony, to stand in front of the fish tank. The fish got a big shock when they saw the big, hulking figure, banging the glass and splashing the water. So...human. Or we are so fish. Whatever.
