Been sick for a while already. Last week was feeling lethargic but still manageable by His grace and strength. By Monday, it was awful. My cheeks were hurting and I had to see a doctor eventually. Got a whole bunch of medicine and burnt a neat hole in the pocket. =/

Am back at work today but still not feeling in tip-top condition. May His grace be upon me for the day ahead!

I wonder if the girl whose mood has been Angry, Happy, Sad feels better today?
I wonder if the girl who's got a Math test today is well-prepared for it?
I wonder if the girl who's got 33/40 for her Chem test will be ready for her reading/ comprehe private tuition with me today?
;)

Here's something I've learnt about change:
In order for it to be a sustained change, it has to be intrinsically motivated, ie. it has nothing to do with the people around you nagging at you, scolding you, punishing you, threatening you if you don't do something about a certain situation in your life. Sure, those things may work for a while, but once you remove the people doing all of that, you will just go back to square 1 as if nothing happened. Is that sustained change? Not at all.

So what brings about sustained change? You need to be intrinsically motivated to make changes. Only when the motivation come from within you does the change continue. External merit and demerit system does help with the motivation in the beginning, but after that, it's all a matter of how you will continue to do what brings about change or not.

Ok...that's about all I can come up with. Sick = mentally compromised. =/
