The Bestie


Introducting .........JOANNA YAP HWEE EE!!!!
Who is she???? Ha...my bestie since secondary school. Actually we knew each other in primary school but she keeps insisting we didn't! But I forgive her because I'm pretty used to her left-much-to-be-desired memory! Hahaha

On hindsight, how we became fast friends and eventually best of pals is something quite amazing. We gradually became closer (as friends) and before I know it....zoooommm...its been almost 11 years leh!

We graduated from sec sch, then went on to different JCs and Uni (she did hers overseas @ Melbourne). At first we thought we'll lose touch when we're separated but no leh. But during the period of separation, we totally missed the calling of each other activity! Goodness, during our JC days, we'll talk on the phone like nobody's business. I don't even know how we can have so much to say to each other everyday! Even during our preparations for the 'As'! Ha...sometimes we wondered if we didn't talk to often, maybe we could have done better for our A-levels :)

Throughout the last decade, we hardly quarrelled. Seriously! Now that I think about it, its true. Yes we have our moments of irritation and misunderstandings but we don't stay angry with either one for too long. How blissful right? Maybe married couples or dating ones should consult us on how to keep a friendship going on and on and on....:)

I am thankful for this wonderful friendship. Its priceless. These days, people come and go but to be able to have a friend who truly stands with you through thick and thin is not easy to find. I'm sure Jonana feels the same way too! I know even when we get married and have our own families (IF IF IF), we will still remain besties!















These pictures must be archived! We took this after a LLLllllllllooooooooooooooooooooong time of procrastination! I felt we better capture our 'dates' as often as we can because now that both of us are working, we see each other less. And its so weird to have so little pics of bestie while i have tons of pictures with others! How can right???? Besides we r both foodie, so I should capture some yummy gourmet too! :)

Universal Studio

Thanks to YOG I got to enter Universal Studios @ Resorts World Sentosa ytd for free! Yes...rides were free and I had a $10 food & beverage voucher. Ok....sometimes I'm grateful that I'm a teacher because we are really one of the few professions who will enjoy such privileges :) Introducing the bevy of gorgeous ladies of Pei Hwa Sec : Miss Grace Tan, Miss Sophia Tan, Miss Shirley Tan and Miss Roslinda ! Don't you love the donkey ears???!!! WE WERE SERIOUSLY AMUSING OURSELVES IN THE SOUVENIR SHOP! Alright...this is the first but not my last time visiting U.S.S because I'll be going there again in Nov for my dept's learning journey. Don't ask me how we are going to think up PE lessons from visiting the theme park but miracles do happen! So after loosening the leash around the 51 kids whom we accompanied yesterday evening, the 6 female teachers (where are all the men??? tsk tsk...) went about to have a wild time of feasting on 20" pizzas, running after cart...

SHAKING OFF THE DUST

Its been a long hiatus :) So many things have taken place and so many reflections to document but the inertia to do it was just to great to resist. Anyhow, decided to take some time during this break to start the 'blogging engine' going again. Hopefully, it revives my hope and wish to keep this site alive.  Just had the annual ODAC camp @ Ubin and while trekking around the island with the kiddies yesterday, I chanced upon this little grasshopper at the Sensory Trail. I managed to get up close and personal for this shot, which was taken with my new iPhone 7 ahem. Image was sharp and it looked great!  And the verse that came to mind was: "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?....Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." - Matthew 6: 26-34 In my rest...

Count your blessings

I bought this set of keychain for my gramps. So cute right? They both love it to bits man! Haha..I'm proud of myself. A wise person said this to me this morning: "when you count your blessings, you will find many things to be thankful for...". True true. Been rather short fused these days and especially with family members. My grandma bore the brunt of it on monday when she suddenly appeared at NCC with my grandpa. I wasn't expecting her and so when I saw her, I was quite mean to ask why she was there when I actually know her intentions. I felt the way I felt because firstly I was already bothered about how to take care of grandpop when he sighs and worries about his discomfort and blah and then grandmop comes along and be herself (complain complain and ask same questions 1001 times etc). Double whammy! Anyway in a nutshell, the wise person told me early in the morning that grandmop upset that I brushed her aside that day, which I know was baddie bad bad :( ok i will...
