New Found Friends

11 September 2008 - Interclass Touch Rugby Game

Winner : Class 3B (i.e. my class :) )



Our 1st and well-deserved victory


We worked hard for it with dedicated team captains (Gideon and Ren Han) who took time off to hold short training sessions for newbies. During the games itself, we fought hard with tremendous support and faith coming from other classmates and even coursemates of another class. The taste of victory was made sweeter knowing that we there were so much moral support coming from the sidelines. Haha..the crowd was rather tame that night as compared to the basketball and soccer matches. Maybe there were less people around this time but nonetheless my class was 'LOUD' in our spirits and sense of camaraderie.



Winning aside, the stronger bond that's being established was more significant and memorable. See....there's definitely more to games than just winning! Hopefully this will be the start to greater things ahead for the class.


THE WHACKY CLASS OF 2008 - PGDE 3B/YR 1 (incomplete)



The 2 char-bohs present. The 3rd absent. That night, the guys decided to coin the term "3Gs" on us since there are only 3 gals in the class. Ermm...they had a rather lousy attempt at trying to give Liling a name that starts with 'G' - Gigi/ Gabriella/ Geraldine!!! Think Gigi was the popular choice! Haha

Just some of the dudes in the class...not all were down.

WOOOOSH! WAY TO GO 3B! :)

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...

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...
