Remembering Us



Remembering us being carefree, being the greenhorns and just trying to stick around for as long as we could. We did. For almost 3 years! But not as carefree as before.



I remember 3 years ago, at the 4th floor (where we seemed to rule the place!) we were often gawffing away, talking as though everyone is deaf and taking goofy shots with Sim Sim's newly purchased Macbook. Then we called ourselves "Golden Girls". Now we are the "Wonder Girls"!




My special friend and ex-colleague. My fellow 'bouncer' of ideas for English lessons! I was glad that we had each other throughout the time we were in PHSS. Sometimes God brings the weirdest person into our lives to just give meaning to why we are placed where we are. Its crazy but its true. But I am thankful that our friendship extended beyond the walls of school!

3 years on. The Golden Girls are down to 2. It feels different without Sim Sim around. She told me it was very tough on her when I went off for my NIE training for the last 1.5 years. Who would ever expect that she would leave when I was about to return. Oh wellz...life just throws us surprises when we least expect to get one.
Anyhow...I'm happy that she's happy now and able to pursue her many little desires without having to conform herself to meet the expectations of many. Hopefully she can find back herself that might have gone missing in the last 3 years and be able to let go of the yikes in time to come.

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...

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...

PSALM 121

I lift my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel, will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Many a times, man fails to keep his promise but God never. He makes a promise and we can be so sure He will keep it forever and ever. Man may fail but He nevers. Sometimes, we may wonder if God is really doing the right thing for us but I know one thing - trusting Him is the only thing that can never go wrong :)
