台 弯 你 好

Gracie is zipping off again. This time a brief 6-days to Taiwan. I always crave to be away for at least a month but alas, its not the time yet. Wonder when my lil' dream will come to pass??

Breaks are so precious these days that I don't know if I'm guarding them too much! Actually come to think of it, if I am not out of Singapore, my breaks aren't actually breaks. Haha..oh wellz if I'm not a human, I'll probably be a busy queen bee.

Hitting the skies in a few hours and will be spending the next few days with Carmen, my new found colleague in school. I'm amazed at how my travel kakis cross paths with me. Totally random encounters and usually, the friendship blossoms from there. Lovely.

Some may think my hobby (travelling) is kinda expensive and no doubt it is....and it doesn't help that we moulders of the next generation can only holiday during peak seasons! But looking back @ the fruits of my travelling experiences, I feel its worth it. Human relationships cannot be valued by dollars and cents. I love every trip I have made in the last few years.

Though I can't be here doing camps and what nots, I am reaching out nonetheless overseas literally. So God bless this trip and may it reap a bountiful harvest for the 2 of us (ay....it includes shopping too!) kekekekke....

Stay tune for the pics and bloggies when I return this Sunday.

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...

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...
