WINDS OF CHANGE

Change can be refreshing although daunting especially when we don't know what the change will bring.

Change is not always something that we look forward to. Not when we are in our comfort zones. But it is a necessary disruption to shake us out of our comfort and subsequent complacency.

2018 has been a year of change personally. The most significant one has to be the switch in my work environment. What beholds me after the 3 years? A question that has been posed to me several times by different one. I still have no answer at this point. One thing I do know is the mission to be a "Guard-Post" remains the bedrock of my stint in OBS; regardless of my duties and roles in time to come. I can only cling onto the ONE who has led me thus far and the ONE who clearly knows my future and the paths I have to tread on. He will never fail me. If anything, this is the assurance and promise that will keep me trudging forward no matter what the days ahead may look like; be it sunny or stormy ones.

 My 1st RAC course and group  - St Patricks, HCI & Orchid Park.
After running 6 courses in Ubin, I got to try taking mainland courses and my maiden RAC programme was that of Kick-biking and IRB. It definitely was a different experience from the usual programmes we run in Ubin. The flow, facilitation and even the mindset have to be tweaked in order for us to still try to achieve the objectives. Personally, there was some under-arousal but moving forward, mainland programmes will become a stayer and we have the responsibility to make sure the course retains the basic level of ruggedness and still able to instill the value of resilience and discipline in our participants.

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...

Count your blessings

I bought this set of keychain for my gramps. So cute right? They both love it to bits man! Haha..I'm proud of myself. A wise person said this to me this morning: "when you count your blessings, you will find many things to be thankful for...". True true. Been rather short fused these days and especially with family members. My grandma bore the brunt of it on monday when she suddenly appeared at NCC with my grandpa. I wasn't expecting her and so when I saw her, I was quite mean to ask why she was there when I actually know her intentions. I felt the way I felt because firstly I was already bothered about how to take care of grandpop when he sighs and worries about his discomfort and blah and then grandmop comes along and be herself (complain complain and ask same questions 1001 times etc). Double whammy! Anyway in a nutshell, the wise person told me early in the morning that grandmop upset that I brushed her aside that day, which I know was baddie bad bad :( ok i will...

Universal Studio

Thanks to YOG I got to enter Universal Studios @ Resorts World Sentosa ytd for free! Yes...rides were free and I had a $10 food & beverage voucher. Ok....sometimes I'm grateful that I'm a teacher because we are really one of the few professions who will enjoy such privileges :) Introducing the bevy of gorgeous ladies of Pei Hwa Sec : Miss Grace Tan, Miss Sophia Tan, Miss Shirley Tan and Miss Roslinda ! Don't you love the donkey ears???!!! WE WERE SERIOUSLY AMUSING OURSELVES IN THE SOUVENIR SHOP! Alright...this is the first but not my last time visiting U.S.S because I'll be going there again in Nov for my dept's learning journey. Don't ask me how we are going to think up PE lessons from visiting the theme park but miracles do happen! So after loosening the leash around the 51 kids whom we accompanied yesterday evening, the 6 female teachers (where are all the men??? tsk tsk...) went about to have a wild time of feasting on 20" pizzas, running after cart...
