Goodbyes are tough!

The moment I dread is drawing near.
Having to say bye bye to my crazy pals. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh........

Its such an irritating feeling, so much so that I don't even know how to go about describing it!! The thought of not seeing them in school sometimes would make me tear but then again, I would control myself coz I know its not like goodbye forever and ever. But but but...aiyah I hate to say goodbyes. Sadly, they are part and parcel of life. Nothing I can do about it.

Still I am glad to have all the wacky memories with me. Not sure if I will frequent Hot Spot as often as I used to when those 2 maddies are gone but I'm sure I will break into giggles whenever I walk past our favourite areas.No doubt, the Hot Spot will be so much more quieter without us around :)
Whenever I patronize the Malay food stall, I will also think of them coz its like our favourite.
Hmm..wonder if I would miss fish-souping & yogurting at JP??? :)

Being emo? Maybe lah but I know I can get quite sentimental at times and that means they are things/people whom I value alot. Oh welllzzzzzzzzz....new season for all of us and as much as I wish things can remain status quo, I know its not the way. So face it Gracie and move on!

We started off well and I hope this beautiful friendship will continue to blossom!

Wishing my 2 dearest NIE pals well and that they will have an unforgettably fruitful season of teaching :)

For me...I will embark on finding other soul-mates but think its not going to be easy to replace that 2 women! After all, such explosive dynamics between friends is a 1 in a million thing and not everyone gets to enjoy it!

I am the blessed one!

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...
