SWEET SWEET FREEDOM!

At long last...this week is over!
The bulk of my assignments is done and submitted and I'M JUST SO RELIEVED AND HAPPY. Finally I can breathe and not awake every morning having to think of what else to do for my assignments. Brain torture! Hair-whitening and dropping experience.

Today after submitting my POG assignment (the bane of my week!) and completing the podcast...I zipped out of school! My friend was commenting I'm like this jailbird that got released! Ha..spot on description! I am going to so enjoy my weekend and make up for the last 2 weeks of hard work and being cooped up in school to mull over the assignments! I still have assignments for the next few weeks but nah...not going to fret over them coz they are more managable and AT THIS MOMENT....assignments are non-existent on my list of important things to do! Hahahaha.........there's a time for everything and its time to R & R!
I had the impulse to call Sim Sim while in school to arrange a date tonight as I was freed up alr. She was down with flu but she still came to meet me. Love her to bits! :)
What happening things did we do?????
1) Met to go to Mortons to drink Martini (used to be $10 but now $11.95) and enjoy the free renowned beef steak sandwich. A tad bit too salty today but still got standard. Errr silly me drank my Appletini without food (before the sandwiches arrived) and think too fast also...blood rush after I left the place and felt faint. Sim Sim thought I was going to puke and collapsed! Haha...learnt my lesson! EAT BEFORE DRINK!
2) Went down to Orchard to meet Victoria and that's when I got to know another fellow NIE-mate : Jan. We hit it off well; talked, laughed and joked as though we are old friends. So amazing! I am beginning to think that I'm quite an easy-to-get-along person. So far..the new friends I made don't feel as though they are 'new'!!!! My hidden talent :) :)
Audrey and Victoria - looking quite similar and doing the exact same pose!
Vic is so hilarious and candid. Talks like a machine gun and at a speed of 300km/h!
Jan and self - PGDE Pri Trainee Teacher.
Very sweet gal. Easy to get along with too!
3) Head for dinner at NYDC. Sim Sim initially wanted something 'light' coz her tummy was in royal rumble but errrrr...she suggested NYDC of all places! So that's where we ended up (Wheelocks). Gosh...disappointed by the standard of the food and especially the mudpie. First and last time I will ever patronise this outlet. Suntec's branch still the best! I wanted so badly to enjoy the big big mudpie but it turned out to be so tiny. Bleah! Only spoiler of an otherwise wonderful night!
4) After a not so satisfactory dinner, we went to Starbucks Coffee. I didn't drink any coz I was quite stuffed by then. Anyhow, we sat down to just chill and chat. Laughed a whole lot and yes...teachers being teachers, we ended up talking really passionately about the thing that is always closest to our hearts - THE STATE OF EDUCATION!!!!! Sigh....we sat down for almost 1 and a half hours just talking, lamenting and lamenting ...it never ends. The story continues when we next meet..... :)
Then we went our separate ways for home.
I am glad that I survived the week and what a better way to reward myself by meeting with friends over drinks and a meal and just catching up with one another. The best thing being I don't have to rush to go home to do work! Hehe...splendid!
After slogging hard, its time to just chill and rest my battered mind, eyes and body. N yes to catch up on my beauty sleep. I have been told my dark rings are getting darker and my tiredness is apparent on my face! ARGHHHHHHH....no no no...GRACE SHALL BE RECHARGED AND REFRESHED OVER THIS WEEKEND!
For now...I'm taking in every bit of this sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet freedom!!!!!! YIPPPEEEEEEEEEEEE

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...
