One of my pretty things

Was at Jurong Point last week and I was patronizing this cutsie Korean stationary shop. Been there a few times with different people, all of whom were simply intrigued by the stationaries sold. I enjoyed browsing through the items and I have to admit that they are really unique and pretty quirky. But I always thought that I won't find anything that's so worth my buy since cutsie & kawaii stuff are so not my cup of tea. Alas, I was wrong!

Discovered a section in the shop where there was 25% & 50% discounted sale items and I didn't noticed this corner before. Being me, I just zoomed in on that corner, still cynical about being able to find something I would buy. Flipped through the diaries, more diaries and other knick knacks and suddenly I chanced upon this calendar! It looked very simple in design but just pleasing to my eyes. Instinctively, I checked for the price and it was $15! Very immediately, the boss told me that there's a 50% discount for it. Ha! Sweet :) But I didn't buy it immediately as I wanted to be sure I needed it.

To cut the long story short, I bought it. 2 factors:

1. After discount, it was $7.50!

2. The calendar is for 2009 & 2010!

Simply put, ITS ULTRA VALUE FOR MONEY!!!!!!!! Enough said.

I was so proud of my buy that I could not stop admiring it and I had to show it off to Joani! Its seated beautifully on my table now. For sure, I'm not going to make it a white elephant! Its too pretty to just be an ornament :)




The design attached is different for each month and its all my favourite things!

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...

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 ...

Divine Connection

Buzz phrase between Ana and me recently. One by one, our peers are walking down the aisle and we both look at each other and we say "How ah??" Frankly, as much as I hate to admit it, I do fear being left on the shelf! Well not that I'm undesirable, but at times I just stop hoping. I know i know...words have power and I should not make negative confessions. I should keep praying and commiting my inner most desires to the One who knows best. Yet I'm only human. And a woman for that matter. Today we met again and we both exclaimed, "Our time not here yet!". Pastor walked in, smiling as usual. "DIVINE CONNECTION. Its not a right. Its a desire" (Pastor, 2009). We'll get there somehow. Meanwhile, continue to wait for this DIVINE CONNECTION.
