From time to time.....

-
I guess from time to time we need to do something different in our lives.....like walking to work/school and writing a letter to your friends (things that we don't practice anymore). I remember several years back... I was asked to teach at a place away from school.
I didn't like the idea initially and was reluctant to go. But when I was there, teaching the students the with same materials I used to teach at a different place really gave some new excitement to me as well as the students. They were to stay at a beach resort over the weekend.
 While I was there, I took  the opportunity to teach them outdoor, in the shade of trees by the beach... the beach is not so well known but it was very clean and serene.....
From time to time, we need a breakaway from our routines.........

    I totally agree with breaking away from the norm. From the routines. To breathe a little fresh air. To do something totally "not us". I find that at times, I get my inspiration and I get refreshed when I do something like that... breaking away is good... Its just hard sometimes to let go of the norm and do something different :)

Before the end of the schools break, my daughters managed to persuade their dad to spend a day at Cameron Highlands. The original plan was to go to Bukit Tinggi in Pahang but he refused to go for some reasons. He has been busy with his work and study thus he he doesn't care much about going for holiday... i don't remember the last time we went for a holiday as a family... Weekends were out of question since there were more than half a dozen wedding invitations that we need to attend. So, anyway last Tuesday morning off we went to Cameron Highlands; just the five of us, hubby and I and the three girls who were beyond excited to go (none of the boys were going).   Since hubby had given a condition that he would be studying in the car all  the way if he was to go (his exam was on the following day), so  Sha was driving and I could tell that she loved every moment of it .. We arrived there at around noon and the place seemed crowded with people as it was ...

How to say no to your boss?

Well.....  the truth is you simply don't......it's something that I learnt that from my previous boss who advised me years back when I jhad just started my early career, the three magic words "never say no". Just the other day, I was debating with myself whether to say no or just accept my boss's suggestion (read: order) without giving him a slightest idea that I'm not capable of doing it ......it's kinda hard to explain coz it's not my job and I don't want to be a scapegoat to be doing it just because somebody else doesn't want to do it.  Anyway, it happened in the meeting, out of the blue like one bright idea bestowed upon him, my boss suggested me doing it ......which, no doubt appalled everyone in the committee and I was left absolutely stunned and speechless........obviously, I didn't make any comment and it was decided then.... Later, came few close friends playing devil's advocate......'This is not your ...
