Little bliss amidst the mist

Whatever is left of this 1 week break is just the rainy weekend and bits & pieces of work left to be settled. Sounds pathetic but I shall not dwell in that anymore. Strangely, I'm find myself enjoying just being home (especially in this weather) and dabbling in whatever I feel like doing. Own time own target.

Honestly, I didn't really have a break. With 4 days spent in school (oral and ODAC camp)...where thou the break? Its a good thing the hollie is ending soon; so I won't feel so shortchanged! But that's how it is. After all, I'm not Grace in Wonderland.

As I come to terms with my horrid practicum job scope, I am thankful I'm born a positivist and fighter. There's always things to brighten up my day. Just yesterday I went groceries shopping with my mother and grandmother. Grandma saw me and exclaimed (in cantonese btw) that my lips are chapped and both got into this mini frenzy to get whatever cooling drinks/jellies etc to reduce the heatiness. I just stood there and watched the action. Hmmm...all I can say is...I feel loved!

Another bliss to make mention of: I actually stayed home the whole of today and not feel bored but of course strange things always befall me. I left to run some errands without bringing my keys thinking my sis would be home. Alas, she went out and locked the main door! I was locked out for almost an hour and my bro came to my rescue; he left immediately from his dance class to come home. Again, I am loved.

It is the little things that make me realise that what may seem to be of a mountain is actually just a molehill. Human nature I guess to want to harp on things that we often have no control over. Maybe by doing so, it makes us feel more in control. Nonetheless, its good to know that I can still see the blissful moments albeit brief.

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...
