It was never true, that all I knew
Was everything or there about
I let you believe, and so you did
I never left you any doubt
There’s always advice I’ll give you
Do with that as you so desire
As we move away, we closer get
Until it’s your turn to inspire
I hope you’ll be a better version
I’ll head toward my obsolescence
Thanks for all the fish my friends
Good luck with your adolescence

Today I’m feeling:
A little run-down but forcing myself through with what little energy I have. My stomach is sore from all the medicine but hopefully I’m on the up from here.
Today I’m grateful for:
The welcome students gave me when I joined them at the exchange student ceremony this morning and even before that. Students I don’t even know wanted fist bumps today. That was nice.
I’m also grateful to Kru Ning for inviting me to sit with the teachers for the ceremony but I preferred to be with the students anyway, mostly because it meant that I could sneak out easily when I wanted to.
Also, Kru Pooky sent a message warning that the teachers from other countries may visit during my classes in the afternoon, with my two noisiest classes but thankfully no one came in the end.
The best thing about today was:
After sneaking out from the ceremony, I ended up talking with Mee and Rista a little while they were avoiding doing Kru David’s work. Mee told me that she is sad with herself because she doesn’t understand the English work that she is doing as extra classes outside of school. I tried to encourage her but I think that she doesn’t have the self-motivation to push herself through.
I also ended up helping Nong Fah to find the correct answers, which she appreciated.
What was out of your control today and how did you handle it?
The pharmacy was shut at Big C today and the supermarket also had a disappointing selection of expensive muesli. The bread shop had also run out of the Korean chewy cheese bread I like but I did manage to grab the last two sesame ones. I’ll keep checking back in.
Something I learned today?
Malaysia issued a travel warning for its citizens thinking about travelling to the UK, due to the demonstrations and riots there, which seem to be focusing on immigrant populations.
