Friday.

No security class in the morning as the instructor had “something urgent” to attend to, which is fine, considering that I’ve been having a bit of information overload from the past couple of days.

Time flies, doesn’t it? We are already half-way through the year. For me, this half year has been smooth if not unspectacular. Probably after more than 4 years of exciting time in university, it’s time for me to quiet down and have a stable life. That said, this 6 months in my current job has been an eye-opener (or in my HOD’s words, “culture shock”) to me, and indeed it’s not easy to adjust myself for the kids here. There are some really talented and motivated ones, there are some lacking in either talent or motivation, while there are some who sadly are missing in both. So to balance myself to try to cater to all of them makes the whole job pretty difficult.

Anyway my HOD has already expressed his wish to keep me here. Now it’s up to me to decide if I’m keen to sign on the dotted line, which will keep me for the next year. To be honest, if I can see what I’ll be heading for or can do what I really want to do, staying here isn’t so bad an option. After all, I do like hanging around with my students. But again, if I can only be here to sit around and not do the things I want to do, then there really isn’t much point as well.

But since I’m going to be in Hong Kong for at least the next 2 years for my Masters, returning to Singapore is not an option in the foreseeable future. Oh well, maybe I’ll go back to Singapore and discuss this with my family, and perhaps a few of my friends… that will be next week!
