Edith and Candy's 25th Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EDITH AND CANDY....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

They turned 25 in Aug and September respectively and it is our tradition to celebrate each other's birthday every year. So far, we have been keeping to it faithfully. In fact, we have been told that our batch is the one batch that has been successful in meeting up regularly; at least 3 times a year!! Kudos to the magnificent 7 of The Outdoor Adventure Club of Temasek Junior College :)
Left : Candy, Right : Edith

We are a cool bunch of people. A mixture of philosophical, emo, logical, blur blur and whacky individuals in this group. The 7 of us really went through fire and rain to run the club well when we took over the baton from our seniors. The 2 years that we had together were superbly memorable and I always felt that if not for this bunch of people who stuck through with me, my 2 years in JC would have been rather 'empty'. Hehe thanks a million guys and gals for making my memories of JC life a wonderful and unforgettable one!

I shall introduce the Magnificent 7 (1 is away frolicking in Hawaii by himself, soaking in the beach, sun and sight of hot babes! He is none other than our Chief - Yeo Yongquan).



Gals (from left clockwise): Chien Fang, Candy, Edith, Grace

Guys: Mervin, Vincent (absent: Yongquan)









Mervin is the philosophical ONE in the group. A thinker and forever sprouting chim chim stuff! Haha..but he has his quirky moments. Interesting fella!


Vincent, he is the unmatchable BLUR KING! Since we knew him till today, he has this perpetually blur look on his face. But at times, he really surpass our expectations and can be really alert! :) Eh he was the Sea Specialist ok! Don't play play hor









Chien Fang was our Asst Sea Spec. She also quite blur blur one ...but a cool babe. Very steady and reliable. Can never go wrong when she's being entrusted with a task

Candy - our Campcraft specialist. The one who teaches the juniors how to tie a particular structure , knots etc. Petite but a fiesty and dynamic gal. Don't mess with her!

Edith - the QM. Very fierce ok. Don't be deceived by her demure and lady-like looks! She's quite 'chor-lor' at times. But that's in the past lah. Now, she's evolved into a mature and lady like beauty! Yongquan will surely disagree with me but since he's not ard, no opposing views for now.

SPECIAL MENTIONS - JUST FOR YONGQUAN :)

To our dearest Chief Instructor, YongQuan. Your presence is dearly missed this evening. We know you are having lots of fun in Hawaii and we have not forgotten about you. We missed you most when we could not finish our food and we thought of how you could be of much help!

Haha..just kidding. This is a toast from us to you and we look forward to a reunion of the Magnificent 7 come year end :)




Even the cake, we chose to leave the biggest slice for you! We toyed with the idea of leaving it in Candy's lab's fridge but we realised its meant only for bacteria! So...errrr...guess not then :)

Hehe...the size of the cake is fairly representative of how BIG a role you play in this team!

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...
