And I thought school just took an up-turn...
but wat the friggin...it just swung down... all the way... lower then the dumps... again...
So I should expect that for everyday it feels good, I pay back with 2 days of curse...? or wat, or wat, or wat...?!
Darn... just looked @ my budget... (not released but had pre-info from Admin...) and wat i found out was... essentially... shocking... Let's put it this way... a certain amount was promised for the purchase of new perc instruments... less than 1/3 was allotted... (how to buy?? allot for wat in the first place??) purchase of scores... only 1/3 of requested amount was allotted... (I'm sorry, but I don't work on such budget for scores... and we all 'know' how important having originals are for any performing group...) Maintenance of instruments... 1/4 of requested amount? the amount we have already put in for repairs this year is already twice the allotted amount...! This just made my day... It just so "made" my day... among other things...
Once the thing is confirmed and still remains as per estimated... I'm gonna head into the office to request for additional budget... if it's not given... well... wat can i say... I can only say I can't work on such miserly budgets... and therefore... I have till July before I figure out wat else or wat I can actually do... Those who have suggestions as to what i should do... can leave a msg... just don't... insult my intelligence...
I have this presumption things would head down hill even more... especially in the job area... Maybe I should just plan to quit the day my bond ends... leave this place once and for all... go backpacking... leave the c'try for a while... the fight's been too long... too long... and too hard... I should just plan now... to quit... to do something else... to... oh heck... it's been a long day, hardly night and I'm already rambling...
Plan for tmr... watch Slamdunk... Will and Grace... and then maybe read and mark some compos... no mood at all... no mood... just the pupils luck to have me as their EL teacher... too bad.

If its a new band, u can ask for additional funds held on by MOE for 'collection' when your band reaches the strength of 80.
The other fund is for replacement of instruments. Condemn the ones older than 10 years (or was it 8) and you can get the grant to replace the comdemned instruments. This process is tedious though.
Ask YF also lah. U know she's working in that branch. Can check all the details. Can only think of these two possibilities for you at the moment.
