Working Snacks

I finally managed to find these broad bean snacks. They are really good for snacking on when working in the office. :P The snacks are working to keep me working haha. 

Working Weekend

I don't know when it started but I am working on most weekends, catching up on work as my weekdays are filled with meetings... 

Boxing Day "Spring" Cleaning

Once the cleaning bug bits you, you can't stop cleaning lol. It's Boxing Day (not that I have much to do anyway) and I continued with my "spring" cleaning. Today's target is my book cupboard. I started in the late morning and didn't finish until 9:30pm! You would think that one cupboard is easy peasy. Oh I was so wrong. I am either a hoarder or I am just sentimental. I kept lots of things in that cupboard from my SCGS-NJC student days until my MOE HQ working days (spanning from 1984 to 2003). All totally forgotten until today! 

I was in ELDDS in NJC lol

Assignments and course notes from UQ and NIE

My beloved Battlestar Galactica books and comics!! KEEPING! :)

I realised today that I have lots of memories hidden away in the cupboard from my SCGS-NJC days, my UQ days, my NIE PGDE days, my NIE MA(Applied Psy) days, my teaching days, my MOE HQ days - lecture notes, assignments, photos, meeting notes, etc. Amidst the taking out of books, files, notes, etc, the cleaning and the re-organising (including deciding what to throw and what to keep), I was also reminiscing and sharing my fond memories on Facebook haha.  
In the end, I had to harden my heart and threw out all my lecture notes (if I haven't look at them in the last 10-15 years, I probably won't look at them in the near future). Now my cupboard looks a little better, not so crammed. :)

Tired of Working?

I saw this poster on the door of my PGDE professor when I went to deliver my CNY card to her. She was at a meeting but that gave me time to read the poster carefully. It made me laugh. :) Somehow I don't feel so tired anymore. :)

Here is the text in full (as it might be too small to read from the image)

Tired of Working? 
The year is made up of 365 days each having 
24 hours, 12 of which are night time hours
which add up to a total of 182 days.

This leaves you with 183 days to work minus
52 Sundays which leaves you 131 days to work
minus another 52 Saturdays which leaves you
79 days to work.

3 hours each day are set aside for eating and 
1 hour for bathing, going to toilet which adds
up to 60 days, which leaves you only 19 days
for working.

You are entitled to 14 days for your vacation 
which meansyou have 5 days left for your work
minus 4 days you usually take off due to illness 
or other emergencies, which leaves you 
only ONE day to work, which happens to be
Labour Day which is a holiday.

SO, WHY ARE YOU TIRED?
