Sat's thoughts

while i'm longing for the rain to hit sunny Singapore, people elsewhere is wishing it will go away.
philippines, vietnam & laos are basically flooded by the raging typhoons that stormed their way through. and indonesia experienced a massive earthquake all at the same time.

like my friend said, the earth is very sick.

i welcome the rain that cooled off the heat from the past few days and its refreshing but as i browsed the news and read the disasters that hit the above SEA nations, i didn't know what to think.

i now look at the rain differently.

anyway finally a free saturday. met up with joani to browse Salvation Army Thrift store and we left with an unbelievable steal; joani with her fur coats (each at $35!!!!!!) and me 2 books for $2. storewide 30%. God knows me well. I wanted to browse through Borders but trying to save up for my trip and He presented me a much cheaper alternative. He is this real!

then it was lunch and dinner with grandparents and aunt. i love my time with them. i find my 'bali resort' kind of relaxation when i'm in their house. like all stress and frustration gone.

for now, i can't wait to go on my aussie trip. currently fraught with obstacles after obstacles but i'm believing for all things to work out fine. i trust He knows my heart's desires and in His will & time, He will make all things well.

i look out my window. wet ground, red sky and feeling the gentle breeze. thunderstorm and rain tonight?

my wish for the last few days but today will i wish for the same thing?

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...
