Harry Potter's Scar

Was reminded of his scar when mine started to feel a little painful today. Can't say that mine is as exciting as his lightning-shaped one, but you can give me credit for the sheer length of it all. Managed to get the gynae appointment next Fri, meaning my National Day weekend will be incredibly filled with 'meaningful' outings and lesser time to bum around at home nor get the rest which I desperately need. I have taken to sleeping beside a pile of unmarked compositions beside me every night. Latest update: I managed to clear a stack from last term, which means I have one stack left as well as two fresh piles from the recent diagnostic test.

Anyway, Harry's a disappointment. So much talk about his impending death and I had to shut others out in fear they will reveal the ending to me. Starting a new book, A Spot of Bother, by Mark Haddon. Was waiting for the soft-cover book to arrive.

Headed to Spa Esprit Downtown for a Scent-sational Aromatherapy Massage yesterday evening. The online menu describes it...

Knead your way into muscle submission with the help of a bit of aromatherapy luxe from our in-house Happy Oil Book. The natural herbal extracts from the aromatherapy oils will bring healing therapies to your body when your skin absorbs it and you breathe it in. What's more we're not dealing with any ol' oils here but Grade A quality direct from the UK.

My chosen Happy Oil...7th Heaven. Did not exactly there get there but at least the general tightness in my back muscles were somewhat loosened. Still kinks here and there but hey, I paid about 100 bucks for this...The room was so dark I couldn't really see very clearly. So much for all the wonderful pictures I saw online. It was beyond romantic as I couldn't really enjoy the nice decor. Well, my way for comforting myself over the Corrine May concert which happened to be last night too.

Chatting with my gd pals from work and it birthed some projects which I may want to try for the EL dept.
1) Composition Writing Skills Package - incorporating group work into writing, going into teaching of skills rather than content, all with the element of fun. Needs to be sustainable and planned over the span of the 3 years for Upper Pri, more like a building up of skills.
I was very inspired after a couple of sessions with my kids and seeing the work being churned out. The test will show if the lessons worked. My personal AR project.
2) Perhaps something for teaching Comprehension to students struggling with understanding. This one is tough, I will really need to sit through and start thinking.
3) Using songs in teaching of Grammar - come up with resource of mp3s, worksheets, activities...

Looks like my December hols will TRULY be well-spent. Rather anticipating the start of the new sem for my classes...Mondays and Wednesdays. Back to my crazy life soon...my sabbatical is officially over.
