Happiness Journal 6/5/25

Today was a day unlike any other.

• Gave a presentation about One Piece and Kumamoto to the whole school
• Took my new colleague to our in-house cafe for the first time this year. Best of all, the chef paid for my lunch because I’m too nice.
• Charmed the socks of the elderly residents at Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital by singing old Teresa Teng songs. Actually, I wasn’t supposed to sing, but a technical malfunction meant that my dancers couldn’t engage the audience. So I filled the awkward silence with my melodious singing.
• Prepared for tomorrow’s lesson rather than leave it up to chance. Or fate. Or whatever overworked teachers delegate their time scarcity to.
• Had dinner with a colleague before I fetched my kids

One of those days in which teaching feels fresh and not stale like my mouldy bathroom.
