Life Isn't Bed Of Roses






I've always believed that no matter how much stress is being put to your body, as long as you can have your mind over your body, you'll still be able to make it through. I've been using it all the while to get me through all my miseries, stress, problems...


However, I think now I've reached a limit that I'm unable to use it anymore, because my body is starting to defy my mind no matter how hard I try to overcome the stress that's being put upon my body. I knew something is wrong when I wake up feeling all blank and to a certain extend of total lost, which is really affecting me and my life. Usually I would just ignore it and go on but now the confusion is actually bothering me.

Haha.....nice opening which I guess might have made your mind wandering what actually happened to poor Ann.....hee hee gotcha..
No la..I'm not facing any mid life crisis neither do I having any work related problems. I'm not on the brink of nervous breakdowns....la


Just feeling a lil stressed out after a long hectic day in school. Moreover, my Semester exams is around the corner and I haven't got the time to open my modules or start any kinda revision.
You see..I have so much commitments in school thru out this month. Training my school Choral Speaking team, my never ending library job (will blog about it in my next post) and my problematic students whom are still unable to recognise alphabets despite 3 months of coaching (this group have some kind of learning disability).




Ya..my "KIA 2M" students. (Program Kelas Intervensi Asas Membaca dan Menulis). They are slow learners and actually experiencing difficulties in distinguishing the alphabets. Therefore, they are unable to read because they don't know the alphabets.


How it happened ?


Well....it is believed that the learning disabilities are caused by a difficulty with the nervous system that affects receiving, processing, or communicating information. They may also run in families. Some children with learning disabilities are also hyperactive; unable to sit still, easily distracted, and have a short attention span. As a result, as their language teacher, I have to be extremely patience with them.....ya real patience ! Though I am not their class teacher but I was assigned to teach them English and Science which means I have to enter their class at least one hour per day. I have to prepare lots of activities for them in within that one hour period so that I can grab their attention. Therefore, I need to cater a portion of my free time to prepare teaching aids and worksheets for these students.

Sigh...! Though life is not bed of roses...but if at least it's covered with fragrant petals...! No bad actually....thinking of soaking in a tub sprinkled with rose petals...wow..! "Mandi bunga"...hahaha






Life is no bed of roses, for roses have thorns,
But handling with care and balance, will protect injury.
