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.

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...
