our wall is going down,down, down......

we are so "lucky" that our unit is the only unit out of 100 in Jasmine towers with wall breaking ceremony. inner pipe is leaking water till our kitchen is flooded. what can we do besides breaking the wall???

obviously, nothing that we can do other than "celebrating"...hahahaha

imagine that we can see what our neighbour is doing in her unit since the wall is going down...DOWN...down...DOWN

Childishness, 38ness,seriousness and poser

Some random pictures of mine which tell more about myself.
My friends like to link me to the terms

a. childishness~ evidence: bringing moo moo together with me when i go out (of course not every time but sometimes only...hehe:) "innocence" cheerful, and serious.

b. 38ness~ evidence: ss together with ah jin or ah q...

c. seriousness~ concentrating on works like teaching in school, teaching tuition, marking exercises, marking exam papers, doing admin works and etc.

d. poser~ always take pictures

Posting, Posting, when will you knock on my door?

Getting more and more people asking me when i can get posting and start teaching recently. May be it is due to the fact that many of my friends who are from the other universities got theirs d.

i just do not know how to react to the question because i really have no idea about it. the only thing i can say is wish that everyone gets posting soon rather than wasting time doing nothing or doing something which is not relevant.

Another question i heard many times a day is "Why don't u ask headmaster to write a recommendation letter and straight away teaching here?"
For me, teaching primary kids are much more difficult than teaching secondary students because they are like blank papers which depend on how the teacher paints it.
To conclude, i still prefer teaching in secondary school...hehe (this may due to the sweet memory i had in my teaching practice school gua....)

Things are not always black or white

My school is having final exam today. thus, i was so free that i can read books in staff room and even in class. the following is one of the interesting stories i read.

Things Are Not Always Black or White

(They can be in black and white at the same time)

When I was in elementary school, i got into a major argument with a boy in my class. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but i have never forgotten the lesson i learned that day.

I was convinced that i was right and he was wrong- and he was just as convinced that i was wrong and he was right. The teacher decided to teache us a very important lesson. She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large, rouund object. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what colour the object was. "White," he answered.

I couldn't believe he said that the object was white, when it was obviously black! Another argument starated between my classmate and me, this time about the colour of the object. The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been.We changed places, and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, "White." It was an object with two different colored sides, and from his viewpoint it was white. Only from my side it was black.

My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must stand in the other person's shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective.

# Teachers are those who use themselves as bridges,
Over which they invite their students to cross;
Then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse,
Encouraging them to create bridges of their own.

FAMILY

Thank You

For teaching me wrong from right and
encouraging me to keep my dreams in sight
For showing me to not let obstacles keep me down
And for creating a smile form my frown
For saying that you care about me
And for showing just how special love should be
For wiping my tears away when i'm feeling sad
And for calming me sown when i tend to get mad
For helping others with the good that you do
And for teachjing me that I should help others, too
For bugging me when i am feeling blue
And whispering into my ear "I LOVE YOU"
Thank You, family, for all that you do
I don't know where I would be if it weren't
for you.

Am i Making the right decision?!!

many people asked me recently whether i'm making the right decision.
i don't know how to respond to the question.
i just kept quiet.

making decision is tough.
after we decide, we tend to wonder whether the decision is the right one.

None of us knows what or where the decision will lead us to...
the only thing that we can do is to experience it and then learn from it...

Bye Bye, Ah JIn~Friendship Forever

Usually we all like to listen to the way Mable says "Bye Bye". Nevertheless, i would not like to hear "Bye bye" from BoBo today. it's easy to say hi but it's difficult to say bye bye to others.


Mable,

We have been four years together...(Choy, we are not lesbians lah!!!) I mean we spent four years studying, doing assignments, watching dramas and movies, 38ing. All these memories are unforgettable... U will always be in my heart:)

Life goes on no matter how. dun be sad or i should say we all dun need to be sad because friendship never ends though we are staying far apart.

Moreover, saying goodbye today doesn't mean we are not going to meet up again. i know and i believe we will meet again someday.

I LOVE U, AH JIN/BOBO/MABLE.

WISH U ALL THE BEST IN YOUR LIFE...
