There's a shiny silver lining in every black cloud.

In case you don't know,
Other than Chinese..
i am also teaching PE currently. (Omg!)
i don't know why everyone laughed/chuckled/stunned when i said this lo!
How dare you!! Haha.

Today's lesson was darn demoralising.
i didn't feel like a teacher at all.
Instead i'm like a babysitter herding some toddlers who've gone all wild!
There was practically no order whatsoever you know.
Booo. i felt so powerless and helpless dat i literally :'(
So diulian hor? Sigh.

And just now, i fell down from the stairs while rushing to my Library Club!
i have a bigbig baluku on my leg.. luckily no blood!!
I had a baddd day :(((

But luckily i have Amy Jie and Ryken
who's there for me all the time to share my highs & lows in school.
Amy Jie always guides me and provides me with her valuable advice,
having been in the education industry for 3O years!
And for Ryken, i think we can click real well la~ haha.
What treasures i have.
(Of course, that includes you who's reading this!)

家有一老，如有一宝！
And kids will always be kids.
Some snappies to share (:

i like my school's environment!

*acting professional*

I feel Rich.

Ohmy!

First time i saw 3 Primary One students cheating during TING XIE.
Trust them to have the wits to do such a dishonest thing..
Maybe you can say they that they're ignorant, but still, its kinda saddening! :(
So.. like you've guessed.
3 round eggs for 3 of them.

Anyway, i realise that..
The bookstore is one of my favourite places to visit!
Wah i feel so poor now.
But at least for today, when i was at the bookstore,
i feel en-riched in mind because i get to read lots and lots of things-
for free! $-$ haha.

Reading ah, really opens me to a whole new world of insightful advice,
thinking, philosophy and wisdom.
Some of which can be extremely useful and invaluable
as we go about our our daily lives, or whenever we encounter a bump somewhere somehow..
& i get to learn lessons that are not taught to us in conventional classrooms.

haa. The joy of reading :)

Gotta save up for lots of fillers, presents for my cutiepies!!
(and probably some good books for me too.)
i think i understand why Lian saves up to buy books already!
Muahuahuahua~
Tyty Lian for your great recommendation of...
=D

:)

Recently, YC went swimming with Lian & Zhi!

To be exact, they swim..
i sleep! ^ ^ v
Close your eyes.
Just imagine yourself by the poolside..
and resting lazily on the armchair.
Time to time, a gentle breeze glides past your face as you drift into a dream..

The feeling is simply great.

You know what? I actually heard sounds that i've never heard before.
So magnified and nice.
The sound of the moving waters.. so nerve-calming and crisp.
I even heard birds chirping nearby, and im not kidding ah!

Lovebirds, Angie & Jason.

These are some wonderful sounds we get to hear,
when we slow down my dearr. (:
Maybe you should try it someday!


(Sigh, what a sad story Guolian told me.. Cant believe we're actually talking about such issues! Stay young everyone? )

Will their prayers ever get heard?

Sigh. I don't know why!
But I actually feel for the numerous people who died and
those who lost their family members and friends in the recent earthquake in Haiti.

Can you imagine this happening in Singapore?
Put yourself into their shoes, how would you feel?
(Sad to say, i feel that some Singaporeans seriously take things for granted..)

The death toll is expected to hit 100,000 which is a stunning and saddening figure.
They're already severely impoverished people merely surviving and yet
catastrophe just had to do this to them to add on to their misery.
Mother Nature can be so cruel to mankind.
Are we reaping what we sow now?

When i saw the headlines that stated, Baby survivors were found-
i feel ambivalent about it.
Miraculously, they managed to survive 5 to 6 days without any food and water.
But unfortunately, their parents perished right beside them.
What's going to happen to them? Imagine a life without parents?

This is yet another incident to portray the fact that
Life is indeed fragile.




We're so lucky to be in Singapore!
(This is one of the many blessings we have.)

My first time teaching!

Today is my 1st day that i offically started teaching!
I must say it was quite an amazing experience.
Wahhh. i projected my voice rather loudly that i almost couldn't recognise it :O
Thinking within, "Is that me? Is that me??"
Sounded so weird, EEYER.


Miss Low went through some classroom expectations..
and started on the introduction of the chapter bleebleahblah~
The P4 children were so obedient.
i like them already! Hehehe really.
Then i posted a silly question to them,
"What is the biggest mouse on Earth?"
Those who can get it correct gets something from Miss Low!
Do you know the answer? =D


i am loving my life right now.
i suppose it's what i have been looking for.
There's cute children, plenty of personal space and time, job flexibility,
endless opportunities to upgrade myself, a rather positive environment filled with nice and warm people.
Somehow, such a routine lifestyle garners me a strong sense of security.


Will all these last? I wonder.
At least for now.. i feel that im no longer leading a mundane life,
but a more meaningful one.
=)



p.s. The answer for the above question is "hipopotaMOUSE"
Ohmy i can't get any lamer! :P

Happybirthday Guolian!

Happy 20th birthday guolian!
You're the most motherly figure in our family of friends you know.
wahahhaha..
Thanks for being my good friend.
:)

Start of something new.

A new chapter in my storybook of Life.
:)

it's my 1st day at school.
the people there are really friendly and nice.
didn't feel abit of awkardness when i thought i would :D wee.
best thing is that,
i actually saw one of my primary school teacher there!!
To think she's now my mentor now and i call her 师姐 now~
wahahha. Its so magical!


i feel that theres a love-hate relationship between me and the children.
firstly, you see their oh-so-cute-i-wanna-pinch-face YET you cannot play with them!
As you know, teachers are suppose to maintain a certain distance from the children lest they become over-friendly and climb over your head.


In the morning, i saw this shortshort, plump plump P1 girl crying because she was afraid of school...
Her puppy-like eyes, my oh my, filled with pure innocence and tears.
i can still remember her face.
She really made me want to go up and pacify her with some comforting words or a big bear hug! Cutie to the maxie ='D
Alas, the Vice Principal was doing a great job.
Too bad too sad~


But at the same time, they can really get on your nerves when they simply pay no attention to what you say, no matter how hard you try.
AHHHHHHH. Tian ah~ Why must you do this to me?
Those cutiepies, so near yet so far :'(


p.s. friends, thanks for your kind and encouraging words man.
:)

161209 to 231209 - A Country Story

This looks like the one in Pet Society eh?!!



Happy 35th Wedding Anniversary!! :D











Day 2, 3 and 4.
A very special and meaningful youth camp,
which mummy didn't inform us about and secretly enrolled us into!!
But still, thanks mama.
i learnt a great deal :)


New found friends~







Julie, the very strong girl. And i mean not physically :)



The dish we made together to serve everyone!



The view outside my dormitory is rather a mockery of the affluent and the poor.






Day 5 onwards!



My sissy sleeping.. :O


































At the forest-theme restaurant.
i suppose Ohanies will love it!!



This is for you YY! :P
B-EEEEEEEEE-F.
































Look closely.. Horsey or YC?



Paddy fields waiting for some happy harvesting.






Strawberries!!


This is a strawberry farm.






We can pick and eat the strawberries at the same time~
Sweeet.



The durian ice-cream with real chunky flesh within!





























Through this trip, i have gained many invaluable insights.
And i've also discovered the blueprint of my future because at the camp,
everyone did some serious soul-searching within.. including me.
Now i have a clearer mind of what to do and im no longer afraid.
:)
Thanks mummy, ai ni!
