Hard to say goodbye ma?

Now I finally know why Amber (the school director in Chung Chen) said that I occupied
the space that is enough for five teachers. I tried very hard to clean everything and threw away as much stuff as I could and yet I just couldnt manage to do a good job. I've only got Saturday now and hopefully I will be able to clean up everything.
Max is going to be eight months now. He can wave to people, I dont think he knows what he's doing but it's cute. He can count 1 to 5, sort of, becuz that's the trick my mom likes to teach him about. We also notice that he uses his left hand more than his right one. Maybe he is a left-handed kid which is fine with me. I dont think it matters that much really!
Said goodbye to two of my classes. I tried not to show much feelings becuz I want to stay with them and watch them grow as badly as they want me to stay around. Maybe it's good to teach them the life-time lesson first, I mean being apart with friends or family. One day they'll have to face that too. Only I am not gone forever, there are still chances for me to come back. I hope they can all learn well and continue their learning here becuz they kiss ass.

A mean teacher I am!!

I had to sub this class for two weeks. Finished today which is a big relief. Sometimes I think it's a pity that most of the students dont know why they are there learning English and where they're heading with their English ability. It just pisses me off when the students in the class I subbed thought that they could get away with showing up without doing their homework. All my own students know that's the last thing I would allow them to do and which means my students wont dare to do that. Even when they do show up without their homework, they know excatly what to do (staying after class and redo the homework again before they can go home). I mean simple as that how can you not understand. So I punished the students today when I showed up in that class trying to collect homework. Their attitude piss me off a lot and I made them stay over than one hour to finish their homework. It's maybe really not my business. I mean, that's not even my class but I hate to see people like that doing things or dealing with their teacher with no respect. Too bad, I told them and I gave them a furious look and a lecture about they shouldn't waste their intelligences. I hope even they wont learn the lesson this time, they will at least remember how mean the teacher I was.

Geez..... how big is my face in that picture. That was when Max is five weeks old and when the mommy is still puffy!

Packing sucks

If any of you have a chance to come and take at look in my room, you will be amazed how a little room can be jammed with some much stuff. Literally, it seemed like there was a nuclear bomb went off or something.
So I went to this big superstore to go for my last grocery shopping before I leave and there I was, standing in front of the door with four huge bags full of stuff and had to call my friend to come and rescue me to take some bags home for me. Spent almost seven thousand and people that know me well would tell you how much I love Taiwanese snacks and swear to God I didnt even get that much. So now I have a new problem... how do I pack all those stuff in bags and take them home neh???
Guess I will have to mail something, at least one or two packages of stuff. More money need to be spent... bravo!!

LONG WEEKEND'S COMING... OOOO WHOOO

going dancing this Saturday night and am really looking forward to it. Havent been doing that for a long time and after I move I think i'll have to wait for another year or so.
got two cds today and i am not impressed with either of them. One is from CRAIG DAVID and another one is THE BLACK EYE PEAS. I know, maybe I am getting spit on for buying those cds. I promise I wont make any similar mistake again.
Got a whole weekend ahead of me that I dont really know what to do with. I think I will spend at least two days packing and hopefully I can really get it done. Wish me luck, fellows!

When it comes to packing and we're not talking about ordinary packing. This is packing up your life to move another country then my conclusion is "such a pain in the ass."
How do you know what to pack and who can tell you what's out there that you should or shouldnt pack. A person like me that likes all kinda food here in Taiwan, food like instant noodles and snacks, animals guts and pig blood. Excatly how in the world can I pack all that in my limited suitcases. So here I have the dehlima.
Good thing I didnt go crazy and buy too many toys for Max becuz some kinda toys seem to take up too much space and then what do you do. Probably see this stupid woman holding the baby and the overweighed or oversized toys on the airplane as carry-ons while trying to board the plane... that would be hilarious to watch, dont you think?
I will have to come up with a good plan of packing and it's gotta be done soon.
Travelling sucks or should I say moving to Canada sucks.

Busy Days, three more weeks left.

Picked up the tickets today as well as my English report card and my degree certificate or diploma like everyone would say. Heard from Christina the other day that Max has to use Taiwanese passport to leave the country. Good thing I learned of that before we leave or else poor Max will be stuck in Taiwan when we have to go.
Need to go to Taipei for health check-up. Canadian government doesnt want an ill person enter Canada which is quite understandable. Probably will go to Taipei next week. Why Taipei? Good question. Apparently, Canadian immigration office only have three hospitals assigned on their paper and those hospitals are all located in Taipei. Sure there are more but they are either in Taichung or Kaohsiung. So Taipei is fine with me.
Cant believe I'm leaving so soon. This is the moment I always refusing to face or think about. I dont like saying goodbye and people that have known me for a while know that. I just want to seize my time to hang out with my friends more and hopefully I'll have a blast before I go which I probably will anyway. I think I will actually miss Chungli... the lame city of Taiwan for quite a bit.
