1PM - My phone is ringing and the caller id is from a co-worker/friend. I pick up and she starts singing Happy Birthday to me. haha, it was so sweet! After receiving a a dozen bday msgs and even more on facebook and now a song, I’m in a pretty good mood and I set off to get ready for work.
3:30PM - I get to school and start preparing for my lessons. My neighbor (the teacher from the next classroom) walks in and does a revised version of the Happy Birthday Song WITH a sexy dance too. I couldn’t be in a better mood.
3:50PM - We’re called into the common room for a quick meeting. Our HI tells us that its not going to be a sweet one and apologizes to break it out on my bday. Oh well, I thought, this school’s so bullshit I didn’t think it could get any worse. It turned out that they had even more tucked away under their sleeves. He tells us that we’re not to sit down. We’re NOT ALLOWED, BANNED to sit. For 6 hours, we’re required to stand? Yes, he says. What’s the rationale behind that? There’s no rationale, I don’t need to explain to you guys.
Basically, our HI won’t defend us, won’t give us any rationale behind this nonsense and the bottom line is, he gets shit from the top and just piles it on us. Head Instructor? He’s just a messenger really, he likes to kiss arses. Thats fine with me. If they want to play cheap, ok.
4:15PM - I’m not amused at all. I walk into class and yell at all the students “Move to the front.” “Teacher, but Irene’s sitting next to me and I’m waiting for her.” “No! Move next to Kelly NOW. I will NOT repeat myself. Move…NOW!”
5:15PM - During the break time, some kids find out from others that it was my birthday so I ended up receiving alot of chocolate, candy, juices (pretty much whatever snacks they had brought to school). Cute~ and sweet. And I ate the chocolate brownie cheesecake that my other neighbor made for me. Sweeet~ I’m starting to feel a little bit better.
8:15PM - Break time again. Yes, two more tedious hours. Mandy drags me to her office for a surprise something. I walk in and OMG there was a bouquet of red roses. Immediately I knew it was from Ric. AWWW….I melted.
They were the velvety kind that still smelt really nice. 37 roses in total. weird number? but who cares, I got roses and thats all that mattered. =D felt like the luckiest girl in the world (or in the school at least!) too bad i didn’t have my camera on me, just a crappy old phone camera …
8:20PM - The bell rings and I skip back to class still on cloud 9… the rest of the lesson was a blur of happiness and day-dreaming. 8 more days…
10:30PM - We all head over to WARA WARA for a late dinner/bday get-together. More surprises - more presents and a Baskin&Robbins ice-cream cake. !!!! I got a bottle of wine, candles, a book, and an art book. Also, got a tea set from my korean sister (we have the same round face, same size hands, in fact, same looking hands, and we’re the same height too! haha)
11:45PM - We’ve happily finished our meal and eaten our icecream and now am taking photographs to document my wonderful evening. Suddenly, a hand grabs my shoulder and yanks me back. I turn in surprise and there is this drunken old man in my face. Is he going to kiss me? The thought flashed in my head. Shocked, my friend stands up and tells him to back off. He sits back down but continues staring at me. I can feel his eyes burning a hole through me. He looked very creepy, and looked extremely depressed, almost suicidal.
12:10AM - The drunken man finally leaves after the restaurant staff spoke with him for a good 15 minutes. As he was leaving, he tried to grab me again. Lucky my co-worker glared at him and told him off before he could do anything. Then he touches my shoulder lightly and winks at me. Definitely gave me goosebumps and sent chills down my back. Very creepy.
What an eventful day! Who would’ve thought so much could happen in 24 hours. I was estactic, utterly annoyed, back to happy and then completely freaked out…. I feel like I’m in a drama show, like Sex and the City….all I need is a pair of Jimmy Choos~~ ha! (as you can tell, I’m hooked onto SATC…)
