WITHIN a matter of days, the Chinese Lunar Year of the Goat will be ushered in. Time really flies, doesn’t it? But more important than the passage of time is the wind of change it brings with it. In the column Good Vibrations in Star’s Fit for Life issue of January 12, the writer, Jaguar Speaks, observed that “sometimes there are so many things to learn, you wonder if you will ever get everything in place”. He also wrote, “Sometimes it feels like there are so many things to do, and it is so easy to give up hope”. I feel that of this year, 2003. I wonder if age is finally catching up with me – even before the first week was up, I was beginning to feel the strain.
To begin with, there was the usual round of paperwork I, like any other teacher, had to deal with at the beginning of each year - schemes-of-work, strategic plans, registers and programme proposals. Then, I was also feeling the heat of having to think ahead. About what, you may well ask?
