A strange day.

I must have looked like a wreck today. But I am thankful for everyone around me. Dionne provided tissue when I broke down at my desk. Adrian a pat on the back. Karen with words of encouragement. Bryan asked me out to Udders and shared his life story, how he and his wife overcame their trials. Rachel Chan on facebook chat. Even my student, Chermaine called me to ask me why I looked so sad.

Mr Teo congratulated me on my Big Picture win, and then asked why my eyes were swollen. I told him and his last words were: "I think you got the determination. Just be sincere and try your best."
