11 September 2008 - Interclass Touch Rugby Game

Winner : Class 3B (i.e. my class :) )



Our 1st and well-deserved victory


We worked hard for it with dedicated team captains (Gideon and Ren Han) who took time off to hold short training sessions for newbies. During the games itself, we fought hard with tremendous support and faith coming from other classmates and even coursemates of another class. The taste of victory was made sweeter knowing that we there were so much moral support coming from the sidelines. Haha..the crowd was rather tame that night as compared to the basketball and soccer matches. Maybe there were less people around this time but nonetheless my class was 'LOUD' in our spirits and sense of camaraderie.



Winning aside, the stronger bond that's being established was more significant and memorable. See....there's definitely more to games than just winning! Hopefully this will be the start to greater things ahead for the class.


THE WHACKY CLASS OF 2008 - PGDE 3B/YR 1 (incomplete)



The 2 char-bohs present. The 3rd absent. That night, the guys decided to coin the term "3Gs" on us since there are only 3 gals in the class. Ermm...they had a rather lousy attempt at trying to give Liling a name that starts with 'G' - Gigi/ Gabriella/ Geraldine!!! Think Gigi was the popular choice! Haha

Just some of the dudes in the class...not all were down.

WOOOOSH! WAY TO GO 3B! :)

Wo(Man) of the hour

As I read the tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, I can't help but feel this profoundly deep admiration for this immensely brilliant forefather of Singapore. I was in awe of his contributions and how his influence is so pervasive in modern Singapore, yet so few actually heard and know of his legacy. The more I read on about what people remembered of him and his long list of accolades, the more proud I am to be a Singaporean. I never knew places of interests like our zoo, bird park and even Sentosa were his ideas! These are just a tiny fraction of his contributions. My gosh....it was just an incredible discovery and I was hooked to the Saturday's Special edition on 'Remember Dr Goh Keng Swee'. Strangely, my heart was pounding as I read and later reflected on this titan's life. Instinctively, a question came to mind i.e. will there be another titan like Dr Goh, Mr Lee KY, Mr Wee Kim Wee or the other members of the Old Guard in my generation? Will I get to see one em...

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...

Be The Best

The trio met again last evening for dinner and as usual, engaged ourselves in a thought provoking conversation about THE STATE OF EDUCATION! (what's new???!!!). But seriously, such conversations never failed to make me think about what kind of a teacher I would want to be in future. As I listened to dearest Joani's impassionate speech on her personal thoughts/feelings about teachers and teaching, I could not help but feel a little guilty. She was basically ranting about how some people just cannot see beyond the immediate discomfort, not realising that the so called 'hurdles' at this moment are merely temporal and are meant to toughen us up for the journey ahead, which is not going to be a bed of roses. Succintly putting things into context, it was about one's attitude towards our work. Nothing perfectionist or nazi-sistic but I respect her for the pride she takes in everything she does. Sometimes I 'scold' her for being too kan cheong, making things difficu...
