BUDS

Next year, it will be our 10th year anniversary! Didn't realise it until we were reminiscing on those good old days. Time really flies.

The 7 of us met almost 10 years ago when we were in JC. Joined the most gruelling CCA and we stuck through the tough times together. Adversities really bind people together and they give birth to pure, real and quality relationships. We didn't just hold on to one another in difficult times but we also shared one another's joyous moments. Isn't that true friendship? Could not have imagine JC life without them.


Missing Edith who was searching for her bridal gown (see pic below).



Without one's realization, we have been faithfully keeping up with our ritual of meeting up on festive seasons & birthdays for the last 9 years! It sure doesn't feel that long. It was only when someone mentioned that it will be our 10th year come 2010 then it hit me that we've been friends for that long a time! Incredible.

With Edith getting married end year, things appear to be all surreal to me. Another hard fact that points to us getting older already. No more the gundoo geenas...one by one growing up to be fine young gentlemen and fair ladies.
A shot of Edith trying out her 1001 gowns , which I stole from her FB's album! Of all that she's tried, I personally think this is the best. A fusion of the oriental & eastern look. The front design is has the embroidered cheongsummish feel while the back reminds me of the victorian age! Superbly chic. Very happy for my friend! May she and her hubby-to-be be ever this blissful!

We are each established in our own ways. One en route to getting a PhD, another SIA pilot, yet another an architect. Each has our own paths to take, yet all of us are still in sync in keeping this friendship alive. Deep down inside each of us, we love and truly appreciate one another. Many years down the road, I'm quite sure when we talked about our crazy days in OAC, we will still laugh as heartily as we do now.

Some memories are meant to stay forever. Likewise for The Mighty Seven.

Breather

Back from a Sec 3 level camp in JB, Tanjung Piai. Thought I could have the week's off to clear my brain's cache and prepare my lesson plans but alas...I'm down for ODAC camp and sec 4s' oral exam mock practice! When can I have my breather???? Sometimes I wonder whether returning to a familiar place is good for me after all. I'm like on the 'Wanted' list for this committee, that committee, this event, that event etc. Not that I'm popular or high-in-demand, its just that I'm nicely available. I'm not usually mindful of taking on responsibilities. Its just that during these 10 weeks, I reckon is a crucial component of my NIE understudy and I am not wanting to settle for something less in my planning (although i really hate lesson plannings!). But I'm so stretched! I feel like screaming: " GIVE ME MY SPACE!" To say the least, I'm feeling stressed. Most unfortunately, I'm not given the option to say 'No'. Not until I get ...

ACTION 100%

I finally can take a breather and bloggie! I just can't believe that my 2 weeks of the 10weeks practicum have just passed! But of course, its just ACTION this entire week since I started teaching. My gosh....if anyone desires for time to pass quickly JOIN TEACHING! Having not taught for the last 1.5years, getting back to the routine sure took some adjustment. Physically, I crashed by 10pm every night. Last night, 8.45pm! Record set. Just last week I was thinking its ultra boring to just shadow my CTs and not teach....I basically didn't know what I was asking for then. Mornings start with the mad rush of preparing for PE lessons and its just been taxing on my brain! After PE, I feel as though I've ran a marathon. I just slump on my chair and let the cool air from the air-con bring me back to life. When school ends, I just have little energy left to do my own trainings! OH ...btw I cycle to and fro school so....its zero level at the end of the day. Joani said this to me befor...

Perspective

Sitting down in front of the computer and listening to 'All The Earth' for the 10th time. Its Anais's off day and we have been trying to upload our pictures onto Facebook. I've got my Day 1 up but poor Ana, still trying to get hers up! Have been in Cambodia for 5 days and returning to Singapore on thursday. Previously, time seem to snail by but as I browsed through the pictures taken of the past few days, I realised that its not that slow after all. Coming to Cambodia this time was different. Was supposed to lead a team to LIA but ended up not because of lack of preparation time and inadequate response. Anyhow, I just felt I should make a personal trip up to see for myself the work at LIA and sense what God is doing in this land. Prior to the trip, I've been reading about Cambodia's news and they just appear everyday in the papers. Well it can't be more clear than this so I went. Followed Anais as she goes to and fro the b oys' & girls' home to t...
