Reprieve

Teaching in a private college with 5-6 student intakes in a year is no joke. Once a class ends & as I am marking their exam paper, I would have been given a new class to teach. At the same time I supervise final year students and must conduct internship visits. Feeling burnt out already & it is only August. Give me the strength to last the year please!

If only I have a wealthy benefactor who will pay for our upkeep for a month or two. I would like to rest and sleep properly, and clean the house, and go somewhere with my children. Alas, it is all wishful thinking- there is no wealthy benefactor whose terms I could agree with. Hence here I am doing the best that I can to manage everything.

Nothing to complain really- kids are healthy and house is reasonably clean. I have enough money for food despite Mr Ex not contributing anything. We may get kicked out of the house- that is a possibility if I do not make my EPF withdrawals soon, but other than that my life is just smashing.
