As usual, I didn’t update the blog for a few months. Since my last post, I was busy with a few things.
First, I had to study for my exams which were around end of May and I really studied for 2 weeks morning till night and I was so glad that I passed the exams. Second, a couple of days after the exams, I fell sick…nothing serious…just flu, cold and cough but I really had a hard time with the coughing. I was serving my notice with the library and I had to take medical leave because I was really sick. Oh, I didn’t mention in any earlier post that I applied for another job in late Feb 09, went for interview in late Mar 09 and was accepted in late Apr 09 and I joined my new job late Jun 09.
Wow…the whole process took 4 months. I am an educator now and that means teaching!! So far so good and I find the job is to my liking and I am not missing working at the library. It feels so good to go to the library and not workJ.
I am into my 3rd week of work now and in another 2 months; I’ll be on 3 months full-time course at NIE to teach me how to teach.
When I left library, my ex-colleagues gave me a few gifts. I especially like the pendant watch and the wallet. I told one of my colleague I want a wallet with many pockets and she really got it for me hahaha and I love it.
One more thing…I bought a netbook!!!! It is Acer Aspire One D250 and I bought it at Challenger for S$688. No reason to buy it but I felt like having a netbook so I bought one. Basically the specs for all netbooks are the same and below are pictures and the specs for my netbook. Info retrieved from www.acer.com.sg.
