QY music class

I have been attending her music class. But yesterday, i couldn't as i had to give tuition. Ed attended with her instead and twice during the lesson, she stopped in the midst of an activity, looked at Ed with teary eyes, and said," i missed ma ma."

Awwww..... I missed her terribly too and feels awful that I could not be with her. No choice, tuition kid having exams next week. Needs intensive tuition if she wants to scrap through.

Medical Checkup Results

Got my medical checkup results back. Didn't offer much explanation for my constant tiredness and body aches. It's not diabetes, tyroids, cancer nor rheumatoid arthritis, which I am relieved to hear. Only 1 problem, nothing serious, just that E.S.R is too high. What's that? Doctor likens ESR to a barometer, knowing that I majored in Geography. A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, it can show impending rain or good weather at a place. High pressure means going to rain, but dunno when rain, and dunno where the rain clouds are from. Same as ESR. It shows there is an infection or virus somewhere in the body, but dunno where it is exactly or when it will flair up.

He hinted that my symptoms may be caused by chronic fatigue syndrome. Work is too demanding, life's expectations are too high, too much stress, not enough rest, lack of exercise... I think he is right on all counts.

Meanings

An employer's guide to testimonial language

1. Capable of independent studies = skip school all the time
2. Critical thinker with an analytical mind = dreaming in class
3. outspoken and responsive = talkative in class
4. Able to lead and give clear instructions to peers = gangleader, able to influence members into wrongdoings
5. demonstrate leadership and can utilise resouces to achieve goals = gangleader, able to mobilise members quickly to outnumber enemies during confrontations
6. Resilence and handles criticism well = hardcore, unrependent despite all the scolding and punishment
