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 cartoon characters, attempting a few of the rides and buying the $15 water-bottles that come in all shapes and sizes (miniature shi-sha container, love potion bottle etc). We got in touch with the little girl in us.


My 2 lovely AEDs whom I truly respect & love lots!

Nanny Nan Nan and Linda Binda...how I so affectionately call them in school. We are a riot at our level of the staff room; with the 3 of us, there will be endless random banters and laughters.




Ok we were all hungry and raring to eat so we walked around and chanced upon this pizza joint - Loui Pizza. Without a second thought, we plonked ourselves in and no regrets after. Treated ourselves to 2 gorgeously thin and flavourful pizzas: tandoori and mediterranean. Who cares about calories man?? We simply wolfed down our pizzas! Oh btw, each was like 20" in size. Man.....check them out!



With 2 huge slices of pizza in me, all hopes of taking the rough rides were dashed. I just had to walk it off first and access my physical readiness. My digestive system didn't fail me and so I went on 2 acclerating rides - "Accelerator" (similar version of the tea-cup and saucer rides in amusement centres) and "Revenge of the Mummy" (roller-coaster in the dark). I was soooooooooo happy after that! My students chioed me to ride the 'Mummy' together and yup I had fun!

Boy it was a good good night! And I rounded it up with a $5.50 Magnum Almond ice-cream. More expensive than usual but just for the novelty.

Will bring my camera the next visit although I figured the night scene was somehow nicer. OH wellz...stay tuned then!

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...
