Rest In Peace, Mr. Shakespear Tsang

Shakespear was a fellow student of teachers college in my university last year.

He passed away on November 11, after our commencement ceremony.

He was definitely one of the most dedicated teachers I have met.

He was hard working, kind and very devoted in teaching.

His death is a loss for us all.

The school where I teach is Shakespear's alma mater. It is also where he did his practicum.

A poster was put up in the school just recently. It shows the quotes "A mediocre teacher tells. A good teacher explains. A superior teacher demonstrates. An excellent teacher inspires."

Shakespear was an inspiration.

May God bless his soul. May he rest in peace.

Rainy Days

May be it's the rain, or may be it's the dark sky.

I am in a bad mood.

My job spares me no time. My lover wants more of my time. She needs it. I know, but I can't give. This just hurts me so much.

I am way off balance.

Quit? I can't. It's not the best option for the career.

Rant about it? Not good either. It lowers my efficiency, and causes my work to take up even more of my time.

I need more spare time to do well in my job and get back my life. My job needs more of my spare time. Damn Catch 22 situation!

Perhaps, it's not the rain after all.

Getting on my nerves

I have a tendency to think too much.

I tend to create problems for myself.

or so I was told.

What should I do with my job? Is good pay and stability all I need from it?

What if I am not happy with what I do? "Make yourself happy with you job", some say.

Should I not quit because it would be viewed as giving up when faced with a challenge?

Does it mean that I am not strong enough simply because I chose not to "suck it up"?

I honestly think that I would perform better in another job. The problem is, I probably won't get it.

Life sucks sometimes.
