Life is so unpredictable... when I thought I should be a little better this semester when my teaching duties were mostly unloaded, I actually became quite totally opposite!
Apart from studies, research kicked started, also many other projects. Most interestingly, I have many students who wanted to work 'on voluntary' basis to gain experience, even without pay, they wanted to come and help daily. It was good sign... this means, the time and efforts I have invested in the last two years are now bearing fruits.
I always believe, when you treat someone with a heart, you will receive the same too :)
This is a case proven true!

Freezing night, warm event
Sisu Sport Day at Pohjavaara School
The weather was cold, and I have lots of assignments and school projects to complete... but nothing stopped our attendance to this 'important' event - our children's sport day. It was cold, and windy evening, but the parent organizers are warm and welcoming, and they put in lots of work to plan and implement the event. Many children came, and the kids have lots of fun. It was a nice, warm event inspite of the weather.

RIP to my dearest friend
Just returned from holiday, had a very nice, short and sweet journey... however, my joyfulness was shadowed by the shocking news of a passing friend - a long lost teenage friend whom I found again early this year. We exchanged emails several times, and I saw her photos in FB, she looked pretty as always, and very joyful. However, suddenly. I found out she committed suicide this morning..... and I realized, her happy face, photo updates in FB were not showing the deeper side of her and the terrible things she had been experiencing in life. It was a pity all came too late. If we would have known her circumstances, she would have received much help and support from friends.... but not many of us knew her true situation, thus could not take any actions to help her through the difficult times. Anyway, now she is gone... may be this is the best way for her, but the challenges now fall onto her young sons who need to cope with the lost of their beloved mum, and a lifelong impact that their mum has died of unnatural causes. Now can only offer our prayers for their safe growing up, and hope all well for them. God, please give your blessing to her children....

Excellent news!
Received result for my first course, and I was thrilled with the outcome. I had a 5, which totally blown off my mind! Nonetheless, it was a nice surprise, though I am doubtful such brilliant results will repeat for the subsequent courses. In view of the kind of schedules I have, I am extremely pleased with the outcome. More importantly, I could not have done it without hubby and family's support! THANK YOU!
