End of year
This is the 7th week and soon the exams are coming next week.. I am keeping my fingers crossed for them.. I hope they will be able to pull up their socks and do their best.. Esp my P5s.. They are darlings but not very hardworking.. I am praying very hard for them..
Hols are coming and I wont be gg to Vn this time round as the air tix are sky high! I check in sep and it's ard 290 plus.. But in the beginning of oct, it shot up to ard 400 bucks! Wah.. VN really hot lor.. So no choice, we have to settle for Phuket... Heard that the beaches are beautiful.. Hmm.. I hope so lor.. Ppl also say Krabi's beach are beautiful.. But that's provided u rent a boat out.. Hee..
That's all folks! Will update once i get the chance..

Kuantan Trip
The BEST gift..
This year teacher's day, i receive a card from Jaime Ch'ng. She had been in my class since last year.. She had always been a pain in the neck and she is very difficult to handle in the class.. This year, i was so fed up with her till i ended up crying when i am in the staff room.. I felt very helpless.. But i know she is a child who needs help..
Fortunately, i send her for counselling with Michelle.. Mich suspected tat she had very low self-esteem and that's why she reacts that way.. And that was an "ah-ha" moment for me! Esp after i read a book, the case study is simply the case of Jaime!! It was god-sent! It's a wake up call for me.. And luckily, Jaime decided to work hard to be a better person..
Oh.. back to the card she made, she wrote a poem in it..
She dedicated it to a very special teacher (but she spelt my surname wrongly..)
This is wat she wrote:
Because of you.
If it wasn't for your gentle words, your faith in me and your determination,
who knows where i would be today?
If it wasn't for your hope, care and consideration,
who knows where i would be today?
If it wasn't for your scoldings, your words which changed my heart,
who knows where i would be today?
But best of all it was because you cared.
If not, who knows where i would be today?
When i saw her words, i was extremely touched.. I was lost for words..
The satisfaction? Priceless...
For all of my pupils, i want to see them doing their best in whatever they do and have a positive attitude towards life.. Being confident, resilient and courageous to guide them thru the passage of life..
This is a high calling.. But guess i just have to try my best.. Able to change a life, that's not wat everyone can do.. Hee hee..

There's a lot of things to do for the sep hols.. I really wonder if i've got the time to finish or not.. Hee hee.. If i had known earlier that i will be so busy, i would not have agreed to gg to Kuantan.. Waste of time and money.. Sad.. Haiz..
But on the positive side, at least i can be out of the country la.. Better dun complain..
Hee.. After term 3, term4 will come soon and it'll be the EOY HolS!!
VN!! I miss u!!! hahaha...

I cried so badly when one of the lead actress sang a song to her mum.. I thot of my mum and I just broke down.. Sorry ah, i guessed i wet your sleeves quite badly.. hee hee...
However, there are a few parts where i find it quite exaggerating and non-understandable.. Hmm..

杂诗 - 杂情
似此星辰非昨夜,
为谁风露诉衷情
天涯地角有穷时,
只有相思无尽处。
愿我如星君如月,
夜夜流光相皎洁。
P.S.: 从许多著名的诗里选出了(也更改了一些)一些动人的词句,拼凑出了一些心情。
(不要因为也许会改变
就不肯说那句美丽的誓言
不要因为也许会分离
就不敢求一次倾心的相遇)
My Cheesecakes!
**Keeping my fingers' crossed!**

After bathing in sch, Jo told me that sch's closing soon! EH?? How come??!! Of all days!?? Argh.. Had to walk out to wait for Sh lor cuz it was raining.. Haiz.. But luckily the rain stopped.. Dinner was too FILLING le lor!
After which, we were trying to find our way to OCC from Kovan.. Hmm.. But after this, i tink Sh's trust in my directions will drop again lor.. Haiz... I really didn't mean to let u do U-turn one lor!
OCC is good as there wasn't much ppl there playing pool and no smoking is great! Hee hee.. I tink I played ok la.. At least I managed to get in some balls on my own.. In the end, as the games we played were too slow for Sh, he got too tired! Ha ha.. Sorry la.. I am just a beginner leh..
Anyway, thanks for the guidance!!

2) I wanted to know if this event will be a success and how much we can make for the NE gallery
3) I want to get it over and done with!
Both Mrs Gopal helped me with the Saree.. Seriously, if you think saree is easy to wear, heck! You are wrong lor! It's super difficult to wear but hey, i looked good in it! Hahaha..
As expected, the gals were so queing up for the wedding gallery and they are so willing to pay $3 for the entry.. And i loved it when one of my NE leaders said, it's the best exhibition the school ever put up.. The ppl who came in were impressed and they were so excited to see the wedding pictures of the teachers! Haha.. Their reactions is so interesting.. Wow! Happy.. (And when i shared it with the cluster schools, they were so excited abt the idea. I guess, soon, the cluster schools will have a wedding gallery too for their school events..)

It was really a good gathering, cuz alot of seniors and juniors came.. We had a good time catching up and all.. And of cuz, with Ice, Judy and myself, we were very busy taking pics.. Haha.. (Ice haven't sent me the pics lor! So only got my personal pics..)
I really missed the poly days.. The training days are always very fun and filled with laughter and sweat..

Taiwan-HK Trip
We will have to transit in HK before flying to Taipei.. This is the first time i am doing a transit flight..
2 HAPPIE Souls!!
Ok.. I admit.. I am there for shopping!! Haha.. so the first stop after purchasing the train tickets to Kaoshiung, we went shopping.. Bought tonnes of CDs, DVDs on this day..
Day 2
Ahem.. Din really take a lot of pictures on this day.. The reason why me, a photo siao, didn't take nice shots?? Hahaha.. Ehh.. Cuz hor, there's another GREATER temptation! SHOPPING!! I spent few hours at OrangeBear with SW and then went to shop and shop at the East Metro (something like our City Link but much cheaper).. When we got back to the hotel, we were so TIRED! From the trying on of clothes.. Hahaha..
战利品...
Day 3
After the SPLURGE yday, today is the day of SIGHT-SEEING (just like a typical tourist)
Right Outside our Hotel.. Yes.. It's raining..
Following pics are of a typical tourist la..
Outside "Ah Bian" Office..
Tink he's the "qian bian" person now.. The tourguide din like him..
中正纪念堂
But it's closed.. Think it's because the ppl refuse to allow him to change the name, so he jus say it's closed for renovation..
This Ferris Wheel scare me out of my wits lor!!
Went to this shopping centre under the recommendation of the hotel staff.. But when we went there, haiz.. Super disappointed!! There's nothing to see one lor.. Hougang Mall also got more things to see lor!
Luckily found this street that looks like Taipei's Wu Fen Pu.. Something like our Bugis street.. A lot of small shops that sell relatively cheap things.. Bought a bag, shoes and we found a big shop that sells clothes.. Wah! I nearly spent another 100 plus there but i controlledla.. Hee.. But i should have gotten more shoes.. Haha.. But on budget la.. Wanted to go Taipei to buy more clothes.. Hee..
Day 5
We decided that we had enough of the shopping and so, we wanted to go to the famous beach of Kaoshiung.. And it's called 旗津.. It's a very nice beach.. And yes, i was super excited about the black sand.. SW says it looks like sesame paste.. Hahaha..
Oh.. This shop sells Doreamon only!!!
Another round of lsat minute shopping at the underground shopping centre.. Hmmm.. Bought books this time round.. Wah.. Cant imagine my luggage weight siah..
Me and SW went looking for this bubble tea on the last nite at Taipei.. We had a walked to and fro just to realise that it's jus a street away from our hotel.. But, it's ok! The bubble tea is real nice!!
Day 7
OOH!! We are in HK!! But i wonder why the customs stopped me and filled in a form and asked me to stay behind lor.. Think he find something wrong with my name! Haiz.. Wasted time here.. Then after that got to wait for other passengers for the bus and that took another hr and more.. Super waste of time.. The hotel room sucks.. No way am I gg to stay at Mayfair Gardens again.. Rather ask Robert to book Nathan for me next time..
But i was super excited to see Joan la.. And we went to shop ard before mtg Victor (Joan's BF) for tea.. Victor took us to the famous Roast Duck restaurant near Lan Kue Fong.. And we had roast duck and char siew..hmmm.. Yummy.. Went to KTV(AGAIN!) haha.. But i must say, HK guys sing well!! But i am horrible la.. I made him sing the cantonese songs.. Haha.. WIll get him to go and sing with us again when he comes to SG.. The Macau restaurant at Tsim Sha Tsiu is also good..
Day 8
Went to meet Joan and Victor (+ his parents) for lunch... As we were too tired, so we slept till 11 plus.. Hee.. Jus in time for lunch.. Haha.. Had good food too!! His parents really ordered ALOT of food.. And Joan told us not to bother to fight for the bill cuz we will never win.. haha.. Victor took me to find Shang's figurines but i can't find the ones he wanted.. And Joan got a flight to catch.. We had to bade farewell..
We joined a night tour for Hk and we must of cuz got to the PEAK.. But hor, the view really lost to the one i saw last year.. Hmm.. But Mdm Tussaud got new exhibits.. Leo Ku, Leon Lai and Twins..
The night scenery of HK is spectacular.. But the electricity bill?? Ahem..
Day 9
Asked robert abt the place that sells toys at wholesale prices and we went there straight to get my children's day presents... But as i cant remember exactly where, we went to the Ya Liao Street (Flea Mkt) and i got a tripod there!! For 10 bucks! With a few turns and some gut feeling, we manage to reach the clothing shop that i bought from last year.. But super ex lor.. 1 skirt ard 25 bucks.. Found the toys too! Haha.. Lucky! After getting the toys and figurines for Shang, we met up with Robert for a quick lunch.. Then we went to put our things down and went to walk ard.. Found this Kowloon Park.. It's not an ordinary park lor.. Got swimming pool hor, and there's an indoor one too.. Super big.. But the admission fee is ard 4 bucks.. Ex siah.. As we were quite confused as to which dir to turn, there's a kind (and quite cute) guy who asked us and directed us.. Hmm.. So nice of him..
Day 10
I told SW that we must go to this garden.. It's super beautiful.. But of cuz, with lots of rules and regulations, it kinda dampen my mood... Even though they did it to conserve the place.. And it's DARN HOT!!! Robert was right, dun go during summer time!
When we went back to the hotel, we had to repack our stuff as it already exceeded the weight limit.. Haha.. So I ask the cute bellboy to help us weigh our bags again.. This time round, mine was exactly 20 kg.. Hee..
This marks the end of our 10 days trip.. It was very tiring But fun.. Hee.. And of cuz, it burnt a big hole in my pocket! Ard $2700.. Hmm.. SW says can go Japan le..
P.S.: Unfortunately, the luggage that contains all the newly bought clothes are stuck at the HK airport and it will arrive 1 day late.. How unlucky! But hor, i realise can claim insurance leh! Maybe can claim 400 bucks.. If so, then it will subsidise my trip le lor!! hahaha...
