AUGUST BAGUS!

I know I have disappeared momentarily from the blogging world but ...NO EXCUSE...just plain lazy! :) In any case, it's now August; more than half the year is gone. Down to 4 more months of 2012! 

2 years of teaching have gone by...just like that. Wheeeee....

Well much have happened since May and honestly, I cannot depend on my memory these days to remember events of 3 months ago. So it shall just be about August!


MAJULAH SINGAPURA! 
LOVING SINGAPORE, OUR HOME. 

I do not see myself as a patriot but I won't deny if I am asked if I love Singapore. I LOVE SINGAPORE! Truly.

Sure, there are the not so beautiful aspects but at the end of the day, I don't see myself being rooted anywhere else, at least for now. 

This year I am so thankful to be able to get a free ticket from Buddy Kevin to watch the NDP live. I tried balloting but to no avail and I was resigned to just watching it over the television. Then the pleasant surprise came few days before the 9th of August. God knows my heart's desires through and through. 



From the goodie bags to the parade, performances and of course the fireworks, every single moment was just awesome! Unforgettably beautiful - the sights, sounds and atmosphere. 


OLYMPICS 2012

4 years ago I was watching the Olympics in NTU hostel. 4 years on, I have to try to catch it at night as I am in school during the day. Olympics have changed my lifestyle for that 2 weeks as I managed to stay up later to catch some of the events live. Well, I go school the next day with swollen eyes and tiredness written all over my face but it is all worthwhile! Come on, it is only in every 4 years that I get to watch muscular men (eye-candy as well) doing their dives and gymnastic moves and of course my favorite - synchronized swimming. Sacrificing that bit of zzz ...I am more than willing!

Now that Olympics is over, I feel kinda lost and the pace of my everyday activities seemed to have slowed down quite a bit. RIO 2016...quick come!!!



STACE'S HEN NIGHT


Wedding bells about to ring again. 

I was surprised to have been invited for the Hen's party as I would not consider myself to be very close to the bride but over the last year or so, we got to spend a bit more time together and through our sharing of life and straight talks, we kinda forged a closer friendship, which I am very thankful for. 

Celebrating with her the beginning of a new journey with a whole lot of beautiful ladies who love her and will walk with her till the end.

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...
