i think i'm getting addicted to alcohol.

no, i'm still a very poor drinker, with 1 mug/cup/can being my maximum. but i enjoy drinking nowadays, be it a nice cold mug of draft beer, or some fruity cocktail, or a can of fizzy chuu-hi. i seem to get a kick out of tt drunken feeling... with my head spinning and my cheeks burning.

yeah... i know this is bad. but drinking is such a common social activity in Japan. so i'm trying to train up myself. i wanna be able to drown 2 mugs/cups/cans of alcoholic drink and still remain sober.

i will continue to drink more! =P

i think i'm also developing a very bad habit of snacking too much at night.

i always get hungry after work. maybe it's bcos i usually hv my bento at ard 5+pm, pretty early for dinner, and yet go to bed at ard 2am.

and it doesn't help tt there is such a wide variety of tibits and instant food available around the clock here in Japan. too enticing for a weak-willed person like mi! =P

i'm seriously going to put on a lot of weight! *oh noo~~*

test week is actually a very relaxing week, i realised.

after all the hectic preparation for the last 2 weeks, i get to enjoy an easier week where i juz need to wait for the students to finish their papers. saves mi lotsa trouble of having to crack my brain abt wat to talk abt in class.

i also enjoy the oral section, where i get to interact with my students one-to-one. here, i get to know how well my students really fare in their english-speaking skills. this is especially so for the kids. i feel so happy when they are able to answer my questions correctly without any prompt. of cos, i also realised some who usually speak quite well in class, but are unable to speak when left on their own.

marking papers and awarding marks can be a chore tho. but it's enjoyable to see how everyone fare in the end.

2 more days to go b4 my 1-week break!

4 more days to Pusan trip!

3 more weeks to.....??

i think i shld learn to stop anticipating to avoid more disappointments.
