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...

Day 3 & 4 - Halong Bay

HALONG BAY Cat Ba Island (2 days, 1 night) After 1 day of exploration of Hanoi city, we headed for Halong Bay via the junkboat. Our destination was on Cat Ba Island where we stayed for the night. It was also there that we ventured onto 'Monkey' Island - not to be deceived; there was only 4 monkeys sighted. The exhilirating part of this journey was the motorbike ride to the ferry terminal to board the boat to 'Monkey' Island. Felt like I was part of a short scene of a James Bond movie (pillion with Pierce Brosnan!). Will never forget the cold draft blowing against my face and just riding up and down the slopes! Cat Ba Island is a very quiet & tranquail place. Little activity especially at night. Wanted to catch the morning activities at the fishing wharf opposite our hotel but could not wake up in time. Nonetheless, managed to capture some snippets of what goes on at the bay. Waiting patiently to board the boat. Snapped this on board the boat. Not a vietnamese but fe...

Worthy 2 Quote

Walking right just makes it easier for Him to bless and use you." - Uncle Ross Patterson. 2 powered statements from 2 power servants of God in 2 power weeks. What more can I say? Let my words be few then.
