CONNECTIONS

The camp did little to hype me up. Wasn't satisfied with the planning & activites. Thought it could be made much more exciting & engaging. Nevertheless, I still came back with a few thoughts running through my head and I suppose there will be take-aways albeit a few. But better than none!

THE SIXERS

The greatest satisfaction of this camp is the CONNECTIONS between myself & some of my coursemates. My group was made up of 3Aians whom I seldom talk to in school. Yet it was pleasantly pleasant having to see another side of them. I've always known 3Aians to be the logical, steady, down-to-earth and they are no doubt. Yet I got a taste of their cheekiness as well and they are not as dull as I've always imagined them to be. Let's just say we complement one another in our differences and it was a good synergy that I saw.




My other 2 lego-fied friends!

Human relations are ever so mind-boggling. When people come together, its either going to be a good chemistry or a disasturous one. And it has always been my belief that its the people factor that makes or breaks an experience. On hindsight, I enjoyed the camp not because the program was good (it wasn't) but it was whom I was with that made the difference.






While there were inter-connectivity with others, it was also a time when I got to connect with myself. Intra-connectivity!
This camp triggered my OBS dream & the memories of my failed attempts in becoming an instructor. I once again begun to entertain the thoughts of joining OBS or doing such outdoor educational stuff. I don't know if its meant to be but no harm just thinking & waiting to see how things enfold. Simply put, it got me excited about living out my dream again!

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...

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...

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...
