Where art thou Gracie????

For the record, I didn't go into hiding. Somehow the month of July never seem to come. Maybe there were quite a bit of happenings that's why.

There was Queen's wedding at the beginning of July and then my maternal grandma passed on quite suddenly and her hospitalization then funeral took up the rest of the month. 2 most extreme events happened within the same time frame; I celebrated the start of a new journey of my friend and also said goodbye to por por whose journey here on earth came to a complete stop. Well, nothing pan-tang about it and I'm so not superstitous but now that I'm writing about it, it does stir some thoughts and a tad bit of emotions.

Once in a while I would spot some elderly women walking around the neighbourhood and I would be reminded of my grandma, who always come across as a hearty and fiesty lady. Well I guess her departure happened like a flash of lightning and all of us only began to feel her absence when everything has been settled and we go back to our daily routine. The exception now is that we won't see her anymore. I may not have been particularly close to her but nevertheless she is someone of my immediate family and a loss is a loss.

So July came and went just like that.

I won't even bother to blog about school since I have to do bi-weekly reflections for my record file anyway so I will rant over there! But here...it will just be my little random corner where I will just write whenever & whatever.

Till my next inspirational (blogging) moment.....

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...
