Time Flies

This week marks the last week for most of my modules in NIE.

As I looked back on the last 13 weeks, I'm speechless as to how time passes this quickly. I still remember the 1st day of my 2 year course in NIE very vividly. A lost sheep! No friends (then) in my class and course and was just roaming around to get myself 'warmed up' to my new surroundings and people. And before I knew it, almost 3 months gone by. What can I say except to really acknowledge how true this adage is; " TIME AND TIDE WAITS FOR NO MAN". Scary as it may be, but I've since learnt to cherish every moment that I have and to enjoy it to the fullest (not always possible!)

Now I can say, I really have made friends in NIE and I am loving my class. Well, still trying to get to know some better but I know we will get there.

Today was my last POG lesson and I kind of had mixed feelings. Strangely.

Towards the middle part of the module, I really struggled to come to terms with the disparity in the skills that I saw in myself and my classmates. And it doesn't help when my tutors took notice of me (constantly!). It seriously sucks! I had wished that the module will be over ASAP.
But now that its really completed, I kinda missed it. Haha..humans or is it women????

Anyhow, I must say I enjoyed the module as a whole. Learnt alot - both content and about myself. Learning to be teachable and humble at all times. Surely I had to put aside my pride and to be able to say " I don't know!" but don't just stop there. Take the next step to learn and learn and learn....Learning is life long. It never ends.

Below are a few snapshots of our last POGGIE session,

with our ever prim and proper lecturers :)



Learning to appreciate my class more and more. Every single one of them is special and has in some way or another added value to my life. Whacky and intelligent class we are!

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...

PSALM 121

I lift my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel, will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Many a times, man fails to keep his promise but God never. He makes a promise and we can be so sure He will keep it forever and ever. Man may fail but He nevers. Sometimes, we may wonder if God is really doing the right thing for us but I know one thing - trusting Him is the only thing that can never go wrong :)

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...
