Happy Day 82

A sleepless night filled with tossing and turning and aggravating fever.

Today is Monday; September 19th

I honestly just wanted to curl up in bed this evening, switch off my phone and not to face the world. If it wasn't for my students and the fact that I know no one will be able to complete my plan the way I want to, I would have been spending the night at home with my lil one who was also not feeling well as all. I dragged myself out of bed with my feverish body and drowsy head and upset stomach. I had to sip on Lemon juice so as to stop myself from emptying my stomach first thing in the morning. Due to my unknown sickness my lil one had to stay at home too (Thankfully his shadow teacher called me first thing in the morning and she informed me of her inability to attend school today because her son broke his hand @_@).

I walked ever so slowly to the rickshaw which I had to wait for for a bit then I got to school quite early. I was unable to walk up the stairs nor sit and print my work, my only saving grace was my first lesson which will be taught by the Arabic Teacher. As I dragged my feet down the stairs to prepare the lesson worksheets, I decided to get some coffee which was my last resort before informing the principal of my decision of going home a bit early due to my sickness. I got my coffee made for me by my great Ethiopian friend Tigis and I accidentally met the principal whom I told of my illness and my health condition. As soon as I sipped a bit of the coffee I felt energetic instantly and I felt like nothing was wrong. I decided to continue my day without cutting it short as if nothing had happened, thankfully my little monkeys behaved superb and that what helped me continue the day with great energy. I also had another sip of coffee just to make sure that its effect will continue even after the school hours as I had my private lesson and Radio.

The private lesson was great, it is flowing quite smoothly and I am able to complete the unit in time before she travels back to China. Radio went well but the best part of it was getting a present of Sarah (who works at the Radio and just got back from Tunisia and she also started the 362 days of happiness after witnessing my 100 days of happiness). I FINALLY GOT NEW EARRINGS and a HERBAL SOUP (^_^)

With my exhausting day and my draining evening I must say Have a Great Evening Lovelies (^_^) 

Happy Day 57

As the weeks pass, I grow more and more fatigued from the amount of work I keep doing and being part of. Yet I refuse to drop any of it..!!

Today is Thursday; August 25th

I was extremely drained this morning for some odd reason, I couldn't believe it was Thursday. However, just the fact that today is swimming day was terrifying me. I talked to many teachers and they all keep wishing me luck and patting me on the back as if to say that IT WILL BE EFFIN DIFFICULT POOR THING..!! My only saving grace is Maria my friend who always makes me feel like there is nothing to worry and it is all under control.

The day started very quickly and in no time I found myself prepping the students to get on the bus and in absolutely no time I found myself on the bus with Miss Maria and the kids. We went to the Greek Club for our swimming session, the place was quite spacious and pretty. The problem with the whole thing is that it was all an in and out kind of a session, the kids get about 5 minutes each to go into the pool and practice their thing. After swimming we were swept back to the school juts in time for the last 5 minutes of the breakfast break and so we were given an extra 20 minutes to eat and relax. Then the day continued as usual, hectic, and it all finished in a glance.

After school I had to attend my private lesson which was great because my student is excellent and she is very entertaining as she always thinks of games we can play. So far we played Bingo, stars and chores and hangman.

The radio was as hectic as school, I was surprised with an interview as soon as I walked into the door. I wasn't happy and I clarified that point to my manager but I went through with it anyway. The interview tuned out to be the most interesting, mos smooth interview I have ever done in quite some time. My guest was fun to talk to and very chatty which was also fun.

My day really didn't end with a bang as it should since it was a Thursday but the best part of today is that Maria packed me lunch and she also provided me with an Islamic swimming suit and a swimming bag. Thank you MISS MARIA :)

Have a Great Evening Lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 54

The day I found out that I can be working non stop till 10pm was today and I was very exhausted to the extend that I could not have any dinner. It has been quite a while since I crashed at the end of the day and it has been even longer sine I couldn't sleep because of how tired I was feeling.

Today is Monday; August 22nd

I woke up early in the morning as usual and I had the chance to speak to my nephew about popping the multivitamins for my lil one. The sad thing is that he admitted to it and I am sure he wasn't aware of the dangers of his actions. I was on my way by 7:10 which is a bit late for me since I have been at school by 7:15 for the past week and a couple of days. I dropped my lil one as usual and I continued my way to school.

School day was great although it was hectic but it went by non the less. I completed my lessons and I was able to deliver my lessons on time. I was also able to conduct an assessment which I really wanted to do ages ago but I couldn't because I was overwhelmed with the work and the amount of being in class that I have to do (@_@). I am slowly getting my head around the system and I feel a bit more productive with my kids.

After school, I did my daily run to my private lesson at 3pm but this time I was able to stop by at a food place and enjoy a bite before getting to my lesson. The lesson was enjoyable as usual and the student was extremely entertaining and quite smart for her age. She was capable of completing a long division operation as well as a long multiplication operation. She draw a couple of pictures for me which I AM EXTREMELY PROUD OF (^_^).

After my lesson, I quickly went to my lil one, picked him up then went home for just a bit then headed back out to the Radio where I spoke about crying in front of others.

A heavy day, that ended very nicely, Thankfully. Have a Great Evening Lovelies (^_^).

Happy Day 53

The day I started working in 3 different places all at the same time. So my thing is that I always take in extra work when I don't need to in case I run short in money and I don't have enough money to pay for my lil one's transportation or teaching.

Today is Sunday; August 21st

I started my day as usual at 5:30 in the morning, I was extremely exhausted this morning because I had to be up throughout the night to make sure that my lil one survives his first night of overdosing with multivitamins. Since it was a rough morning, I was dreading my week. However, my students were great and they were able to pick me up from my deepest sorrows. The day went by very smoothly and my students were lovely although they were all over the place (and they are quite a chatty bunch). 

After school, I started a new project with a new student who is from China. I love teaching students from different countries as it is a massive challenge for me as a teacher. The only problem is that I start teaching her at 3pm straight after school which finishes at 2:30pm. The other problem is that I usually don't feel hungry until 2pm which means I starve at about the same time I should start heading towards my poor student. 

My student is lovely and she is quite smart for an 8 year old young girl. All I have to do is encourage her to speak and try to build her English in different areas such as creative writing. I enjoy teaching this student and I loved her family. 

The third problem that is facing me after taking this job is it finishes at 5pm, which means I have to rush to the Radio to start prepping for my show. However, since I decided that I will never leave my lil one under anyone's supervision, I will have to pick him up from the physiotherapist's place at around the same time. In other words, My schedule is extremely tight when I start with my new private student and I teach her about 4 days a week @_@

Although it was tough, I got it done and The Radio was a lot of fun because I was happy for some reason and I found out that Athletes get paid for getting the gold medals...!! On my way home, I got drained of all my energy reserves and so I cancelled my evening lesson and moved it to Tuesday and Thursday.

The day was ok but in comparison to yesterday's it was a lot better. Have a Great Evening Lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 51

Since I am starting my second half of the challenge I will be reflecting a lot more on my life and my week. I have been through so much this week all the ups and downs and all the other challenges in my life. I decided to do a reflective post every Friday to give me a bit of a peace of mind to be able to start my week in a better mood.

Today is Friday; August 19th

I woke up very early today since I am used to waking up at 5:30am on a daily basis. The day started very good, I did most of my work and was able to organize a lot of my work which should be handed in on September 4th. I was also trying to get my head around all the private lessons I took on and decide which ones I should drop after all.

The biggest challenge I faced today is to decide whether I should continue homeschooling my lil one or should I take him to a unilingual school (although he is capable of speaking both English and Arabic fluently). When I had a conversation with the Deputy Head at school, she clarified that knowing whether to take him to school or home-school him all depends on his capabilities of continuing university and being able to graduate from university. I strongly am aware that my lil one can do it and can make it through both school and uni but how is the biggest question.

I was advised to try an interesting series called Fuzzbuzz to help my little one read English. I have been searching left, right and centre for this series online but I haven't come across the full series.

Knowing my lil ones strengths and weaknesses is not enough, being here in Sudan with a child with disability is extremely difficult. A lot of places are not trained to deal with different students who have different needs and different learning abilities. My struggle is to find the school that will take him the way he is and help him develop as a great human being who will be able to complete university and continue with his education if he desires to do so.

Although I was extremely drained and tired, I went out with my sister, her husband and the lil ones. We ended up driving along the Nile and getting a bite at the mall's food court.

Have a great morning Lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 50

I really don't know where to start from. Should I speak about my first week at my new school or should I speak about my emotional roller-coaster this week. Should I speak about my ups and downs with my new very young students or my anxiety when dealing with the other teachers.

Today is Thursday; August 18th

Finally a Thursday has arrived and I feel like I can breathe again and try to organize myself a lot better so I can be able to conduct and deliver a great lesson the way I am used to. I woke up early in the morning as usual and I decided to give my lil one a bit of a break from all the waking up and the centre and the physio routine. I got ready and made a lot of noise all while he was fast asleep poor lil thing. I got on the rickshaw which I agreed with to drop me and pick me up from school on a daily basis. At least one struggle is off my shoulders and it is sorted.

I got to school extremely early and was able to sign in early and get to my class in time to prepare for my full day with them. I literally had all my lessons with them today (I was extremely overwhelmed by the idea but when it came down to it, it is quite ok).

I normally start my lesson with a 5 minute free chat so that they get all their chat out of the way and I find that quite relaxing for me and them. Then I start off my lesson on the carpet where we start choosing the classroom helper, then talk about the rules and remind them of their good and bad behaviours. Although I was dreading today because of how long it is, I was part of the assembly which was an extremely lovely experience where I felt like I belongs to a larger community. After our assembly I was able to complete all my lessons for the day and I was managing everything well (although a bit frustrating sometimes with all my Year 2 children).

My first week and I had a birthday party  where everyone went BONKERS and I was not able to calm them down quick enough. At that moment, I felt too overwhelmed and I can't be the great teacher I thought I could.

After school, I managed to go back home and relax for a bit and update my blogs then it was time to go to the Radio where I spoke about a quiet weekend vs a busy fun one. The show was great because one of my great teacher friends Maria was listening to me and that made me work harder and sound more enthusiastic.

The best part of the day is enjoying a pizza with my sister, her husband and the kids at home while watching the Olympics. It was an overwhelming week but if I planned it a lot better, I will be able to deliver better lessons and I will include my assistant a lot more in my lessons from now on.

Have a great Morning Lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 46

I had a complete nervous breakdown at the end of today and it was just not happening. After my breakdown I had the longest sleep ever that made me feel complete and sane again. It is absolutely OK to breakdown during life but the pickup and recovery has to be quick and strong.

Today is Sunday, August 14th

It is the first day of school for me which is quite exciting, I hardly slept and I woke up as early as ever. At around 7 in the morning I was out of the house and in a rickshaw towards the school. I was a bit worried about my lil one going to the centre this early but gratefully everyone was there and he was happy he was early for the first time since he started with them. School was great and starting this early was great too although I had a massive difficulty getting over the fact that the whole house was fast asleep when I was out of the door.

The best part is that my students were happy to see me and I was overwhelmed with all the hugs that I received when my lil students arrived. After a while from greeting all the arriving students, the rain started pouring heavily to the extent that the roof started leaking. I was hoping that we'll be getting a day off but I was not lucky enough to get my wish and the day continued as usual. The students were overwhelming but they do follow rules and they all know their boundaries which I was happy about. Due to my previous experience, I was happy with my students and I really enjoyed day one.

I made sure I kept a smile throughout my day even when I was having a very tough time with their behaviour. Keeping a smile was the best thing I decided to do to change my mood in m entire life. I was able to complete a lot of the work and was able to follow my plan as much as possible although it was a bit all over the place.

I was completely shattered at the radio and I couldn't wait to go home to fall asleep. That is exactly what I did and I am so grateful for my interesting day 1 at school with all its ups and downs.

Have a great Evening Lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 45

When the world decided to go all over the place and I tried to hold everything up in the air while keeping my balance on a thing thread on top of a mountain of flames.

Today is Saturday; August 13th

The plan was for my lil one and I to wake up at 7am to get t both the centre and my school on time so I can then complete all my three lessons on time (By The Way, today is a weekend in this country, yet I never consider it as one). I felt bad when I was waking my lil one up since he stayed up all night waiting for me, so I decided that today I will just go about my day without having to worry about his whereabouts. I started off at school at around 8am, where I had to prepare my classroom and my door's decoration. I did all the printing, cutting, laminating, sticking, fixing, ...etc. I was exhausted because I was doing it all by myself with no one to help.

The saddest part is that I failed to finish my work in time for my first private lesson and so I had to cancel this one. However, due to my financial situation this month it was nearly impossible for me to cancel my 2nd and 3rd lesson. As soon as I got home I had a quick bite and I got ready for my private lesson, The lesson went well but I was still exhausted although I had a massive cup of coffee.

The second lesson also went well although I had no energy at all, however, I was meant to go to the pharmacy to get my lil one's medications as I was running out. I had to pull myself together and gather all the lil bits of energy I had left to do my last errands of the day to prepare for my big start at my new school.

I couldn't sleep tonight because of my anxiety, on the bright side I was able to complete my errands and checked off all of my to do list.

Now off to sleep to start fresh. Have a Great Evening Lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 44

Long Chilled out Day.. I cancelled everything for today and decided that I will never commit to any private lesson on my only day off..

Today is Friday; August 12th

The day started on a very good note where everything was great. However, at some point inn the day my lil one decided to act up for no reason (well I doubt it was for no reason, it was mainly because I started my full time job and he started seeing me a lot less which is quite annoying not for him alone but for me too). We had great food and my sister decided to make us some great home made stuffed pasta. 

I decided in the evening to cancel my plans with my lil one due to hiss behaviour and decided to go out on my own for a change to just chill. I went to the Nile street and stayed there till midnight which was stressful and fun all at the same time. I couldn't enjoy my time because I was preoccupied with my lil one who was at home on his own.

To my surprise when I got home, my lil one was wide awake in the room watching Peppa Pig and lying on the floor. My heart melted to that sight and I spent the rest of the night with him. 

Have a great Evening Lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 40

Woke up at 6:30am.. Panicked about my lil one's home schooling plan.. Panicked about my classroom which isn't ready yet and stressed about the amount of work I am taking on.

Today is Monday; August 8th

The day started bright and early, I had a great sleep and a great start for my day. It has been about 2 weeks since I decided that my lil one is going to be home schooled due to the lack of disability awareness at the schools available in Khartoum (where I have been living). For some awkward reason I woke up with the urge to call a school to ask about vacancies for my lil one. It is the type of school I would like to take him to, but their talk about the fees and how she emphasized on the fees made me think twice. The problem is that my lil one is able to recognize the English alphabets which is excellent but he is incapable of recognizing the Arabic ones which is quite a problem for me as Arabic is my first language. With this is on my head, I started my day quite burdened and unaware of the impact of my decision on his future.

I went to work and I completed quite a lot of the work which was great. I was the first to get to school at 7:45 in the morning, I was optimistic and energetic and I was extremely excited about y first official morning meeting. The day passed extremely quickly, I only had enough time to get home and freshen up and head towards the Radio for my show.

The show is about showing affection in public which I think is lacking in our society. Even if you are showing your affection to your parents, children or friends. It was great but it was a quick show that was put together. I feel like I have been putting my Radio work a bit behind because of the school work which is CRAZY.

WISH ME LUCK..!! Have a great Evening Lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 38

EXHAUSTED.. TIRED.. AND UNDER THE WEATHER..!!


Today is Saturday; August 6th

I only had a couple of hours sleep today and I had to be on the run since 7am. My lil one had to be taken to the centre at 7am but we ended up arriving late because I simply couldn't wake up. Then I quickly got ready as I had a private lesson at 10:30am which I also arrived late too and I ended up getting there at 11am. As soon as I started the lesson, rain started pouring down non stop. I started contemplating leaving the lesson early due to the rain but it started stopping for a bit which I thought is great as I had to go to my third lesson at the ends of the world.

I got ready the ride arrived and everything was great until I got to the main road which was FLOODED..!! The rain at this point was still drizzling and there was no sign of it stopping at all. I was still hopeful that I might be able to get to my lesson then get home but as we continued on our journey towards the lesson, the road was getting worse. I couldn't take the flooded roads and the fact that my lil one was still at the centre so I quickly cancelled my plan and headed back to the centre to get my lil one and his shadow teacher. The weather was crazy and the roads were even crazier.

Once I got to my lil one, I quickly stopped a rickshaw and I got him and his teacher to be dropped off at home. The rest of the day was great until my third private lesson decided to come to my house because they already missed a lesson and they were not prepared to miss any more. The lesson went well but by then, my nose was completely blocked, I was completely shattered and I had a headache. All I did was feed my little one and put him to sleep then I had dinner and went straight to sleep in preparation to my first day at work.

Have a great evening lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 37

The most chaotic day I have ever lived. I loved every part of it and I am thankful I lived it with all the people around me.

Today is Friday; August 5th

I woke up on the right side of bed this morning and I had a massive smile on my face and I was happy the moment I opened my eyes. I had a great morning although I was feeling a bit under the weather. I taught my lil man for about an hour, we did a bit of English reading and writing which went well (better than I expected it to go). We had lots of fun together and my lil man was excited about the afternoon as I promised him to go out together.

The afternoon came and it was time for us to get ready to go out. I thought of taking him to the mall first then I changed my mind due to the lack of money. I decided to take him to the Nile Street instead so we can have a picnic and go for a walk too since he skipped physio on Thursday because of me. I packed sandwiches and shared a ride with my mum to get to the Nile Street. The weather was great, the people were jolly and my lil man wasn't, it was very difficult for him to do a 30 minute walk using his walker and braises. We had many individuals staring, sympathizing and smiling with him (to encourage him to continue and ignore the screaming mother "ME"). As soon as I thought it was getting a bit too much, Buddha (not the Buddhist Buddha) came and made my lil man smile, laugh and start enjoying his training session.

Then we got to the part of the day where we sat enjoyed the sandwiches and drank some hot drinks, I got coffee and my lil man had hibiscus. At around 8pm, we head home and I quickly got my lil man ready for bed because I had to get ready. I was meeting up one of  the mothers who I recently became friends with and who is the parent of a couple of my students. I met my friend and I also got to see her children which was great because I missed them greatly and I found out that her younger son is my lil man's best friend.

We ate and had coffee and we ended up planning another get together in which the kids meet up and watch a movie together.

GREAT DAY, GREAT COMPANY. GREAT WEEKEND.

Have a great evening Lovelies. 

Happy Day 35

Running after money is one thing I do best and I keep collecting my money like a debt collector. This month I am so behind in paying my debts that I am starting to borrow some money from my work places to cover my debts.

Today is Wednesday; August 3rd

The morning was great, I woke up at 6am and I started my day bright and early. I made my lil man's breakfast, got him ready, took him to the centre and went to the bank to reactivate my bank accounts. Everything was perfect, although I had many bad news and sad incidents which I will refrain from mentioning here cause it is worthless and they only affected me momentarily. The day continued to be on my favour after my second private lesson was cancelled and I ended up staying at home all afternoon.

The evening was at the radio and it went well. The show was great and the evening topic was great too. I am glad that I ended up figuring out what to do and how to deal with paying for my debts which are mainly things I bought online (^_^). To my surprise, my third private lesson was cancelled too due to the heavy rain, which hasn't stopped yet, and I was excited about that and couldn't be happier. I got to finish early and make my way home under the rain.

The best thing happened when I was heading home which was meeting one of my friends when I was struggling to get a rickshaw to drive me home. He managed to get me a rickshaw and he also covered the costs. I was grateful and still am and he sure made my 35th day a lot happier. I'm glad that Wednesday went easy on me cause it is one of the toughest days of the week. 

Have a great evening Lovelies.

I just wanted to point out that today was one of the saddest days in my life as in my heart sank because of an incident but I will try to make the most of my day. Thinking of the great things happened is everything I can do to keep my sanity (^_^)

Happy Day 32

Today was the day I broke my friend's heart I guess. Anywho, it was a long tough day with nothing going according to my plans. I had to shout more of the evening, crashed down and some great things happened too.

Today is Sunday, July 31st

I am extremely happy that July is coming to an end, I get paid today and I will also pay MANY of my ENDLESS BILLS. The morning started fairly good. I wake up at 7am now because my lil one started a semi course where he needs to be there at 7:30 in the morning (I thought this was absurd but I did it and my lil one felt very energetic). Unfortunately, after getting to the centre and my lil one's shadow teacher getting there, the centre was closed due to some preparation work. It was great meeting the shadow teacher and she was surprised at how big my lil one had become.

After finding out we had a day off, I decided to go home for a bit then head to my friend's school after dropping my lil one off at his physio session. At school, I finally confronted my principal friend with leaving the school but being around fro help. She was ok with it and didn't react badly to what I thought was a devastating news.

The afternoon was filled with endless private lessons, from Bahri, Amarat then back to Amarat and then home. I quickly rushed to the radio to collect m pay and started t he show which I couldn't do on my own. But amidst all the hustle and bustle, my manager and boss were extremely sweet towards me, my sister got a promotion and I got to eat pizza because my sister was celebrating.

A busy day finished with a massive crash and burn to get up early for my lil man's centre session.

Have a great afternoon Lovelies. 

Happy Day 31

So this Saturday I had to go all the way to Bahri which is a far part of the city to evaluate some students who are looking to get prepared for Key Stage 1 Sats exams in Egypt.

Today is Saturday, July 30th

My brother is leaving after a weekend over here, It is such a shame that as soon as I was leaving to my private lesson, my Brother decided to spend a bit of time at home. Before I went to my lesson, I took my lil one out to get him some toys because I didn't have enough money to take him to the arcade at the mall. He was happy with the toys as he got a spiderman wallet, watch and a police car. He is infatuated by the watch and he keeps guessing the time although it is about time for him to know how to read a watch (blame it on the mother who is busy trying to make cash).

I went to y private lesson which was literally at the end of the world and it took me about an hour to get to their house and back but the kids were smart and the work load isn't much and so I took on the challenge to prepare them for a massive exam which is the SATS.

In the evening, I had to pass by my brother's place to bid him farewell as he was travelling and I spent a bit of time just standing and watching how emotional everyone around me was and I was emotionless. I couldn't wait to get home and spend a bit of time with my lil one as he will be starting a semi course with older students tomorrow.

The evening was nice, we played, ate and went straight to sleep for our big morning.

Have a great afternoon Lovelies.

Happy Day 26

I finally met up with a beautiful person yesterday which was great (I know some of you won't relate to this but I am a person who never goes out because I have no friends and I have no time). A gorgeous get together with a great spirit here in Sudan.

Today is Monday, July 25th 

I went to school today but this time I was early, I felt very overwhelmed with waking up early and taking my lil one to physio so early. My private lessons were moved to the school as I am there from 9 in the morning till about 3 in the afternoon. The school was great, The private lesson was ok and I landed another private lesson with an adult this time who wants to learn ENGLISH (SUPER CATCH BECAUSE I LOVE TEACHING ADULTS). 

I was extremely tired today and so I had to break my fast which was a shame but I was unable to continue my day. It was extremely hot and humid and I was running late. 

Another turn in my day is that I turned down the diplomat's childrren who live fairly far away because they refused to pay a decent amount of money. Shame.. Shame.. Shame.. (but I am happy).

I had a great show at the radio and what was great about today is that I met which a great person who I recently met. Miss Maria she is the most gorgeous and most positive person you can ever meet. It was quite energized and extremely happy with the presence of this person. We talked. We had great coffee. We laughed. We walked. And We went window shopping.

To my surprise when I got home, my lil one was sleeping but he was wearing a different clothes than the ones I put him in. I found out later from my mum that my lil one spilled water and he cleaned it up and then he got his shirt and shorts dirty so he took them off and asked my sister to put the PJs on him. I can't describe how proud I am of his independence at this very young age, not only did he do all that but he also took his medication. I was filled with pride and hope that although his disability permits him from doing many things, he is coping quite nicely with his new found independence. 

Have Good Evening for now Lovelies.

Happy Day 19

Today I have no time to breath, I have to be everywhere all at the same time well not exactly t the same time but right after each other.

The date is July 18th,

First thing in the morning my lesson started smoothly and ended smoothly, my students are progressing nicely and I am extremely proud of them. Their reading has developed but it still needs a bit of more practice. Straight after the lesson I had to take my lil one to his physio session then I quickly needed to make it to the school where I am helping with the curriculum. To my surprise, the customers I introduce to the school, registered and they were extremely satisfied with the structure of the school. I had to share the curriculum and take part n some work all while I was setting the script of my evening's show.

On my way back home, I picked my lil man from physio and I had to quickly get home, feed him and have a couple of laughs with him. Then it was time for me to head to the station to get ready for my interview which was meant to start at 6:15pm. Another overwhelming moment of the day is when I walked into the live room where I broadcast my show from, and I find myself surrounded with 6 people!

The interview went well and gradually the other individuals started moving out of the live room, which made it more comfortable. I loved knowing about Mr Manfred Leuchter who is a famous German Musician, it was such a pleasure to be present around a special person.

That is almost all for my day and I am definitely sure I will have such a blast the next day. Have a great evening Lovelies. 

Happy Day 16

Friday is my least favourite day of the week, it is always busy and reminds me of all the pending work I've been ignoring all week. However, July 15th was one of the best days ever.

My day started early with my lil one and my nephew acting all gorgeous and polite. Then I had to start my pending work which was preparing the spelling lists of the curriculum for my friend's school. and when I was doing that I decided to play some music for my lil one and my nephew. we started off very nicely with the latest singles, then my sister joined us and I started playing some of the 90s music that my sister and I grew up listening to. We had a blast, we danced and sang to the great singles of our childhood.

After a great afternoon of old singles, I had promised my lil one to take him to the mall a few days before because he's infatuated by the arcade and car games.And so the day had come for us to finally head to the mall, which was spectacular, on top of that my mum decided to join us on our little journey. My lil one was very great as he started walking for a long time till we got to the arcade (with the help of his braises of course, but he still did it). The walk was a little uncomfortable because people here had to stop and look at him as he walked. I was getting extremely aggravated by that but I had to swallow my anger. It was so awkward to the extent that a young beggar stopped walking and he had to walk with us till we got to the entrance of  the mall. The young beggar kept asking me to carry him and stop forcing him to walk, and I kept explaining that he needs the training. After our encouraging yet bizarre encounter with the beggar, we faced a lot more sad looks from the people inside. Although everything was perfect and my lil one had a great time, I really hope he didn't notice people's sympathetic looks towards him.

After our blast of a day, we had to finish it off with a meal at the food courts. My lil one was happy, my mum was happy and I was happy. I had to finish my day with a bit of cinnamon cake and some tea.

Have a blast today Lovelies.

Happy Day 15

Today I start my 3rd week of my 100 happy day challenge, time flew by and I am loving it. I am calmer now, I hardly get my anger attacks and I am in-control of my feelings a lot more.

July the 14th started with a massive power cut which was at 2am, and when the power cuts it means only one thing "NO SLEEP". I opened my window and was listening to the rain as I laid on my bed for absolute hours and when I thought that my night is going to continue that way, BOY I WAS MISTAKEN, my lil one decided to wake up. As he stretched and turned in bed, he whispered quietly "is the electricity cut?" and so I answered him and asked him to go back to sleep. At that point he looked at me and said "Mummy, I am hungry!". The funny thing is that at that moment I laughed which made him laugh, then for an instant I thought to myself that I can ask him to go back to sleep or I can make the most of it and actually make him food. So I ended up making him food in the dark (Thankfully we use gas stoves; and I made some egg fried rice). While I was cooking in the dark kitchen, I kept hearing a shuffle which scared the hell out of me but I kept ignoring the sounds. To my surprise, my lil one appeared out of nowhere with his mousy lil voice and he asked me what I am making. After taking our glorious fried rice upstairs, my lil one took 2 spoons of it and then he was full!! (WHAT..!! I COOKED IN THE DARK, GOT SCARED AND ALMOST BURNT DOWN THE HOUSE FOR 2 SPOONS) But again, I thought to myself it is all about the experience and what we did together.

After the sleepless night, my day went by as usual, the great thing about it is that my morning classes were cancelled and moved to the afternoon which gave me more time to sleep. I went to my friend's school to help out and I got back home with my lil one on the slowest rickshaw on this planet. Due to the night rains the city was pretty much flooded so traffic was horrific and cars were peddling on the water ever so slowly.

My evening show was a lot of fun again, I did it myself and I slayed it!! My evening didn't finish here because one of my dearest friends was getting married this Thursday. I was so close to cancelling the whole thing but I ended up going and attending her wedding which was beautiful and she was one of the prettiest brides I ever seen.

Now, this is how you end your day with a bang. Have a great afternoon Lovelies.

Happy Day 13

I have decided to add a date on this thing so I can keep track of my days. I started forgetting the my days because I keep forgetting to write the posts on the day itself, so I end up writing it the following day (if you get what I mean). My happy day 13th is on the 12th of July.

Yesterday was a great day for me on all levels. I had a great start with my private lessons, after getting great feedback from the parents regarding their children's progress. I was so delighted that y students were getting better and becoming more confident in reading (all thanks to Dr Seuss).

It was a Tuesday, so we are getting through the week very swiftly and the days are passing nicely. I started working at y friend's school because I was unable to inform her that I already found another school. Regardless of my fear of confrontation and inability to break my friend's heart, I started looking for another person who would be able to fulfill my position in her school. I decided that I will be preparing everything that needs to be prepared but I am incapable of working with my friend for many reasons. I would not want to be put in a situation where my relationship with this specific person will be ruined and I would like to keep the mutual respect with all the teachers working there. So I made up my mind that I will recommend this school to other people because I know the quality of the teachers and I will eventually put my lil one in the school after his year off.

I was able to pick my lil one up from physio and it was extremely nice to spend that extra time together. Finally, I went to the Radio and I had yet another great show because I was extremely excited about all the additions and new bits and bobs on my show.

To finish off my evening, IT RAINED..!! I love the rain, and I love how the mornings after the rain are and how great the weather starts to become after the night rain.  Good night for now Lovelies (as I continue to write my other post).

P.S. I completely forgot about the best part of the day which was wearing my HELLO KITTY Backpack to both my jobs and workin' it (^_^)
