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!

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...
