High Flyer

My date with Audrey Sim! :)

Arranged with her to go onto the Flyer with me since we teachers get it free during this month. Thanks to Teacher's Day! But she forgot that she's meeting me to 'fly' today and she didn't put on make up or bring her SLR camera! Tsk tsk...anyhow her misgivings about going on to the Flyer (due to some negative feedbacks from friends) soon turn into much enthusiasm as we were so captivated by the scenic night view from the Flyer.


We were so blessed to be able to get on the 7pm ride and it turned out to be a fantastic time. It was the perfect interchange from evening to night and wow..the aerial view was splendid. And we even had a guide on board. Apparently not every carriage has 1. As much as I feel this Flyer thingy is another novelty for Singaporeans but I am glad I had this one-time experience. Haha..Miss Sim Sim even contemplated of going back again before the promotion expires on the 30th Sept. :)

Below are a few snapshots of my wonderful night.

Some of my personal favourite shots but the last 1 is particularly my all time favourite!!! And I'm so proud that I took them myself! :)

Before we proceeded onto the Flyer, we had some cheeky moments in this 'Make Your Bear' shop.

Miss Sim Sim doing her thing!

More captivating night shots :

Some of the shots taken felt as those I was in a space ship. Quite futuristic structures there!

Dinner at Glutton's Bay. But we both had bagel and coffee at Starbucks before 'flying' so we were not that hungry. Nonetheless we had satay and chickie wings :)

To end of the night, we had beer from 7-eleven! Each of us had a bottle and we had a merry time chit-chatting under the stars (not really visible lah!).

Totally an evening well-spent. :)

Breather

Back from a Sec 3 level camp in JB, Tanjung Piai. Thought I could have the week's off to clear my brain's cache and prepare my lesson plans but alas...I'm down for ODAC camp and sec 4s' oral exam mock practice! When can I have my breather???? Sometimes I wonder whether returning to a familiar place is good for me after all. I'm like on the 'Wanted' list for this committee, that committee, this event, that event etc. Not that I'm popular or high-in-demand, its just that I'm nicely available. I'm not usually mindful of taking on responsibilities. Its just that during these 10 weeks, I reckon is a crucial component of my NIE understudy and I am not wanting to settle for something less in my planning (although i really hate lesson plannings!). But I'm so stretched! I feel like screaming: " GIVE ME MY SPACE!" To say the least, I'm feeling stressed. Most unfortunately, I'm not given the option to say 'No'. Not until I get ...

ACTION 100%

I finally can take a breather and bloggie! I just can't believe that my 2 weeks of the 10weeks practicum have just passed! But of course, its just ACTION this entire week since I started teaching. My gosh....if anyone desires for time to pass quickly JOIN TEACHING! Having not taught for the last 1.5years, getting back to the routine sure took some adjustment. Physically, I crashed by 10pm every night. Last night, 8.45pm! Record set. Just last week I was thinking its ultra boring to just shadow my CTs and not teach....I basically didn't know what I was asking for then. Mornings start with the mad rush of preparing for PE lessons and its just been taxing on my brain! After PE, I feel as though I've ran a marathon. I just slump on my chair and let the cool air from the air-con bring me back to life. When school ends, I just have little energy left to do my own trainings! OH ...btw I cycle to and fro school so....its zero level at the end of the day. Joani said this to me befor...

Day 3 & 4 - Halong Bay

HALONG BAY Cat Ba Island (2 days, 1 night) After 1 day of exploration of Hanoi city, we headed for Halong Bay via the junkboat. Our destination was on Cat Ba Island where we stayed for the night. It was also there that we ventured onto 'Monkey' Island - not to be deceived; there was only 4 monkeys sighted. The exhilirating part of this journey was the motorbike ride to the ferry terminal to board the boat to 'Monkey' Island. Felt like I was part of a short scene of a James Bond movie (pillion with Pierce Brosnan!). Will never forget the cold draft blowing against my face and just riding up and down the slopes! Cat Ba Island is a very quiet & tranquail place. Little activity especially at night. Wanted to catch the morning activities at the fishing wharf opposite our hotel but could not wake up in time. Nonetheless, managed to capture some snippets of what goes on at the bay. Waiting patiently to board the boat. Snapped this on board the boat. Not a vietnamese but fe...
