i do understand that you need your rest and the time to do your work, boys stuff and personal stuff... tats y i did not say anything... but now, being alone in the room without abby's presence, i come to tink that living without you is really something quite hard to cope with... how i wish you are here with me... :'(
Luckily, i only had to stay here for another 2 weeks.... i tink i should start counting down soon.... will you come to pick me??

so happen, i was working with samantha, peiling and raihan on one of the project and i asked her wat was going on... Apparently, her room mate ( the one that need to give birth the the 1st cohort and now joining back with the 2nd cohot) had her 1 yr plus child and the husband, flying over from singapore and joining her... and this family will be staying in the executive rooms for teachers... and poor raihan, will have to move out of her room and going through another transition because in wheelock policy, no student should be staying in the room themself. Raihan was very upset over this matter....
I asked peiling and samantha about their view of this situation and none of them agree on what the wheelock is doing.... everyone was like commenting that they can also bring or ask their live ones to come over... y must she be so special?? just becos she say that her child needs the mother and seperating with the child for 5 weeks is difficult? then she should have brough the child over on the day we took off... Although i m not in their shoes and i cannot say who is right and wrong, i personally feel that:
1) why is she given such special treatment?
2) is it really important that the child needs the mother so badly until the child will forget how the mother looks like if the child dun see her for 5 weeks?
3) wheelock should set their standards and follow wat they set and not give special treatment to others as and when they like.....
i know that not all people will disagree that wheelock should like raihan's roommate bring her whole family over... but i believe that most people will comment on how wheelock deals and handles with situations.....

yesterday, nancy gave us assignments to do and 3 of us (yvette, abby and me) planned that we will do it on the wednesday evening.... so abby and i just went shopping last nite... and this morning, we did not have class until 2 cos teacher say that she need to go to the dentist cos she going to attend son's wedding and must look nice.... so in the morning, me and abby planned something else... which is going to the John F. Kennidy museum....
so i thought since yvette is in our team and not going to do anything, we will invite her to go with us to the museum and it will be free cos we have the "city pass" which will allow us to have free enterance... but in the end, what she said is, " i tink i not going cos on thursday, i will be going to the movie with others and i will do the research part 1st will you all going to play."
i got upset because:
1) wat's going to the museum gotta do with the movies you going on thursday?
2) she keep saying that she have no money liao then she still wanna go for the movie that will cost US$ 11?? free one dun go.... wanna go ex one....
3) assignments already plan to start tonite liao then you must start 1st?? are you like trying to make us feel bad and change the plans for you??
the other part of me is thinking:
1) just mind your business... it is still her choice to do watever she want....
2) i can fully understand that y she is so KS about her work cos i was once like tat.... when you see ppl start doing the assignment liao, then you will feel that you are like at the last of the race and need to speed up! however, your other 2 partners are not there to work with you... (just like my past with laura and jasmine...)
i noe that i overreact about the situation and told abby about it... she talked to me and explained from her view point what she felt and everything... and i kinda like calm down alittle... However, i m still thinking, we are in a foriegn land and there are many things to play and explore during this time here... we already somehow know the timing of the shopping areas and the places of interest and as adults we can judge our time quite well... and i was tinking, we cannot keep giving in to yvette by cancelling our plans and just sit together to do work... but another side of me just keep telling me, " i cannot just keep going out to play with abby as i understand how she feel about the assignments. what if one day she just snaps and say that we "bully" her by asking her to do the assignments 1st or wat if she thinks that we are using her to do all the research part?"
Peeps... how ar?? y suddenly i tink so much and y suddenly like i become so concern about others? is it because i experience what yvette experience before and understand what she is going through? or m i slacking too much and keep wanting to play?? :((((
i want to go home liao... i miss you and caden and smartiess and all your classic moves and talks... :'(
