Farewell Pei Hwa ODACians

I know this posting came a little too late but its because I just created this blog so the delayed effect. :)

My last day with Pei Hwa was the 18th of July - Friday, which happened to be our CCA day as well. I went for an orienteering session with the Sec 1s to Punggol Beach. Boy..what meant to be an hour's walk ended up to be 2 hours because my group took a wrong turn and ended up chalking extra mileage! Hehe...reminded me of myself when I was a trainee in my Outdoor Club during JC days. Kiddies...its never the end point that matters but the journey and process to the destination that is precious.

Ended the session with a sumptuous pizza feast, courtesy of Miss Jennifer Yeo (in red tee), my lovely HOD cum boss! Before I said goodbye, the kids (Sec 2s and 3s-not all though) asked to take pictures with me and the other Miss Tan (Sophia) who was also leaving the week after. I wished I had taken a few shots with the cute Sec 1s but I missed the chance. Never mind, the next time I go back for a visit, I shall capture some kodak moments with the little ones before they forget me! Haha

Wo(Man) of the hour

As I read the tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, I can't help but feel this profoundly deep admiration for this immensely brilliant forefather of Singapore. I was in awe of his contributions and how his influence is so pervasive in modern Singapore, yet so few actually heard and know of his legacy. The more I read on about what people remembered of him and his long list of accolades, the more proud I am to be a Singaporean. I never knew places of interests like our zoo, bird park and even Sentosa were his ideas! These are just a tiny fraction of his contributions. My gosh....it was just an incredible discovery and I was hooked to the Saturday's Special edition on 'Remember Dr Goh Keng Swee'. Strangely, my heart was pounding as I read and later reflected on this titan's life. Instinctively, a question came to mind i.e. will there be another titan like Dr Goh, Mr Lee KY, Mr Wee Kim Wee or the other members of the Old Guard in my generation? Will I get to see one em...

Day 3 & 4 - Halong Bay

HALONG BAY Cat Ba Island (2 days, 1 night) After 1 day of exploration of Hanoi city, we headed for Halong Bay via the junkboat. Our destination was on Cat Ba Island where we stayed for the night. It was also there that we ventured onto 'Monkey' Island - not to be deceived; there was only 4 monkeys sighted. The exhilirating part of this journey was the motorbike ride to the ferry terminal to board the boat to 'Monkey' Island. Felt like I was part of a short scene of a James Bond movie (pillion with Pierce Brosnan!). Will never forget the cold draft blowing against my face and just riding up and down the slopes! Cat Ba Island is a very quiet & tranquail place. Little activity especially at night. Wanted to catch the morning activities at the fishing wharf opposite our hotel but could not wake up in time. Nonetheless, managed to capture some snippets of what goes on at the bay. Waiting patiently to board the boat. Snapped this on board the boat. Not a vietnamese but fe...
