My New Hero!


Donnie Yen is officially my newest Asian hero! Frankly speaking, I never had one except Hugh Jackman who's obviously not Asian! So welcome Donnie to the Hall of Fame!

Watched Bodyguards and Assassins yesterday with Anais and I left feeling awed by Mr Donnie's suaveness and ridiculously cool martial arts moves. Given he's an authentic martial arts expert, we were treated to the real stuff.

It was a star-studded blockbuster but the joke is all the big shots were killed off really fast! Jackie Cheung (guest star), the joker Leon Lai and Simon Yam were finished in minutes. In Ana's words, need to kill them off for the smaller beings to rise up. How true.
Seldom will I entertain asian films but this is an exception. The violence and bloody gore aside, the whole idea of being a rebel for a cause stood out in this show. Passion, ideals, devotion, heroism and love....all heavy concepts that got me thinking. Once upon a time, there was a group of youngsters & no-bodies who believed in the future of China and were willing to sacrifice their lives for her. Like what Mr Sun (Yat Sen) said in the show, no revolution is without suffering and bloodshed. It must be that way for a revolutionary revolution to take place. The foundations of China are not just concrete and cement but bodies of rebels with a cause and they must not be forgotten.
Overall, fantastic show. 200/100!

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...

Divine Connection

Buzz phrase between Ana and me recently. One by one, our peers are walking down the aisle and we both look at each other and we say "How ah??" Frankly, as much as I hate to admit it, I do fear being left on the shelf! Well not that I'm undesirable, but at times I just stop hoping. I know i know...words have power and I should not make negative confessions. I should keep praying and commiting my inner most desires to the One who knows best. Yet I'm only human. And a woman for that matter. Today we met again and we both exclaimed, "Our time not here yet!". Pastor walked in, smiling as usual. "DIVINE CONNECTION. Its not a right. Its a desire" (Pastor, 2009). We'll get there somehow. Meanwhile, continue to wait for this DIVINE CONNECTION.
