金额摩天轮

看见金色摩天轮里的沈君君，就让我想起几年前的我。当时我也曾经有过和她一样的想法。只不过我没有她那么果断，也没有那么消沉。医生给她的指示，是按时服药，看诊，并保持乐观，开朗的心情。但因为医生的一句，：”存活率在10年以上“，让她非常失望，对生命失去了信心。医生也说会影响身体的各个器官，导致她产生离开识贤的念头，不想拖累他。

似曾相识啊！

十年的存活率？

遗传性高？

只能希望剧情和现实相距甚远……

after a long long time ......

It's been so long since the last post.. officially a teacher and working adult now... just started sch holidays, but feels like there are endless work to do!!!

But I'm still very happy and contented, psychologically ... I am happy that I got a job, I got my family, I have time to do things I like,  I got things/events to look forward to... though busy, but I can manage my time.. am really contented with this kind of lifestyle...

I think that career, love, family, and health are the 4 most important things in life .. and I am glad to say that I have all 4... although my recent medical review isn't that good, with a low platelet count of only 40. But I'm feeling perfectly OK, and I believe that with positive mindset, I can conquer over the antibodies!  Therefore I constantly remind myself that I must not give up, perseverance is the way to go, and do not despair!! With this mindset, I see eeverything as an opportunity. With health at stake, all other minor problems/obstacles that I faced become so trivia that aren't worth mentioning....

To all my friends out there, please remember that no matter what problems you faced, think about the 4 most important in life, and perhaps you'll realise, that you're able to overcome all problems ...

为何我们总是要等到失去了，才懂得珍惜？

为何我们总是要发现问题后，才肯去补救？

为何我们不能未雨绸缪？

为何我们就是不能理解“预防胜于治疗”这个道理？

人，总是要在亲身经历了某些事件后，才懂得感恩，才懂得珍惜。

好好珍惜你所拥有的！不要执着于那许许多多的未知……

Am I really so busy to blog?? Comparing to my peers, I think that my workload is one of the lightest considering that I have floating timetable.. but just dun have the motivation to blog...

NIE investiture and Convocation are both over in July, and my family had our studio photoshoot too.. went for outdoor photo taking at esplanade with my family also... i bet papa and mama must be very happy and overjoyed that all 3 of us finally graduated! mama was telling me the day before our studio photoshoot that papa said he had been waiting for this day for 7 years since my sis graduated haha..

Celebrated 4 years anniversary with Deary last tue, just a simple dinner at changi sailing club after school... though simple, but both of us enjoyed the nice ambience, great food, and wonderful service... gave Deary a Cross pen with his name engraved on it, hope he'll use it, photo frame with our photos collage, and chocolate making class voucher.. received a white adidas watch from him as well as a famous amos cookie.. since orientation to convocation, we've been walking hand in hand for 4 years.. many wonderful experiences that we had together, and many many beautiful memories... and of cos, there are bound to be some unhappiness, but all these are part and parcel of a r/s, and i am glad that even after 4 years, our r/s is still goin strong...

Just went for a chocolate making class with Deary on Sun, learnt how to make simple chocolates... really easy.. maybe can consider doing a home-based chocolate business if i wanna change job hahha.. maybe can start training now then 4 years later will be able to start my own chocolate business? haha its ok to dream once in awhile i guessed =p

Anyway, just had a cousin's gathering on mon, as a farewell party for guanquan.. he'll be leaving soon on 22nd aug.. had lots of fun playing charade, pictureka, pictionary, rock the beat etc... so glad that we can still play till so crazy when most of us are alr working adults... hopefully we can continue to play hard in years to come... really enjoyable...


have been feeling lazy to exercise these days... yet i keep eating and eating... and it seems like i'm dropping quite alot of hair recently, could it be due to the new Azathioprine that i'm taking? haiz why is my body always having such strong resistance to new drugs? i guess its same as my personality of not wanting to change, and always like to stick with the old and traditional methods... read online about a TCM practitioner who seems to be quite well versed in this area, maybe shall go and have a try.... but think shall wait till after 22nd aug and see how it goes....

meanwhile, will just try to enjoy life, be stress free, and be happy!!!

A brand new start

Its been long since I last blogged... well, its the end of week 1 of term 3... sort of settled in to WSPS, got to know the kids better, feels more comfy in office, can chat more with fellow colleagues.. i'm sure it can get better than this..

anyway, for the june holidays, had a 11d10n grad trip, firstly to Macau and Hong Kong with Deary, Sis & Zan, for 6d5n, then go on to Hangzhou and Shanghai to meet Wanying and Sihui for 5d4n... First time taking the flight alone, waiting for them alone at the ulu international terminal of Hangzhou Xiaoshan airport... tried many things alone during this trip... like traveling around alone while in HK for few hours, and then taking flight alone to Hangzhou, den back alone from Shanghai to HZ back to SG.. really salute those who travels alone.. cos frankly speaking, I felt kind of unsecured when I'm walking on the streets alone and such... Haha.. but quite interesting though.. a wonderful experience that I doubt will happen again? unless i go for some further studies overseas? haha highly unlikely i guess...

anyway, on a side note, realised a point from the trip, that is, my interest is akin to the old people lol.. cos when i saw the nice scenery of west lake, i thought i could immerse myself there the whole day.. i simply love the nice and serene atmosphere there, away from all the hustle and bustle of the city (though just opp the west lake is their city area with shopping centres and stuff lol)... however SH and WY doesn't think likewise.. they got bored after awhile.. hmm i think that's understandable cos after I got back to SG, i did a simple survey by asking around, it seems that most ppl around our age will not mind goin to nice scenic areas to take photos and such, but say they will be bored after awhile and wun stay long.. but asking ppl of the older generation, like my dad and other older relatives, they say they prefer to go such scenic places and dun mind staying there long... am i old? hahah okies anyway, its just me, and i just like it, thats why i always suggest goin to China during year end family trips...

Back to work-related stuff, workload in WSPS really high, on friday evenings, i can see alot of teachers lugging bags of worksheets/workbooks home to mark... and most were saying their weekends are usually burnt by marking books... how sad.. and i got to go back to sch tmr for netball... 8-11am.. thought i could sleep in late, but haiz gotta wake up earlier than usual... but luckily its a long weekend, so can enjoy a little longer....

Happy 47th Monthsary to Deary!!! oh and did I mention that I've gotten a unit at Punggol Waterway Terraces 2? hahah 7th storey, facing the waterway... so happy... will be ready in 4 years' time... just nice to save up =) gotta go and sleep now, so that i can enjoy tmr to the fullest!!!

end of 10 weeks

10 weeks has past, and that marks the end of my journey as a trainee teacher. Received my posting results, got posted to white sands primary. Not sure if I am happy or sad about it. I am happy cos I think that a change in environment can give me a chance to learn more, and can try to be more fierce to the students the 1st day.. on the other hand, I am ad because all the teachers at Greendale are very nice and helpful. Within the dept, everyone gets along very well, and most importantly, I think the hod is very nice and she's also very good to me! Just hope that the new school will be the same, if not better ..

Approaching the end...

Its finally Week 9 of our 10 weeks Practicum... Cleared all obs, and my sup will be coming down on Thur to discuss about my grades with the SCM as well as my CTs... it seems that the p3 class is really difficult to manage.. even until now, its not easy to catch their attn.. tried riddles, qian bian wen da ti, stories, games but still not easy to make them quiet... haiz... heard from other teachers its becos they know that i'm a trainee teacher, so not scared of me... they say once i become a full-fledged teacher, they'll be afraid.. is it true? hopefully....

well anyway, shall try to enjoy these last 2 weeks in sch.. esp with the p2 kids... shall have more fun activities for them next week.. they're cute!

March holidays..

Its the much anticipated March holidays!! Went for a 2d1n trip to Batam with Deary on sunday, he actually meant for it to be my bday celebration in apr, but i told him that i dun think i'd want to go overseas during apr as we'll be very busy then.. so we went ahead to Turi Beach Resort, and it was very very nice! A nice place to rest and relax... very nice seaview, our room balcony faces the calm and serene sea, and there's hammock by the beach for us to enjoy... though its just a short trip, but we really enjoyed ourselves =)

Made good use of this one week break to meet up with friends...
Met up with the gals on tue, to riverboat... had fun taking photos with lomolomo.. nice food and great company makes the day =) hope we'll have more of such gatherings soon... On wed, meet up with Doris for dinner.. had a nice chat... hope we can meet up soon after she submits her fyp =)
Went for dinner with family ytd, nice food, and at night, we went to the new Punggol Promenade for a walk to the new lorong halus wetland reserve... great to have a stroll after dinner, esp with my beloved family ^_^

well, planned to meet up with nie gals today for lunch, but i woke up with red and painful eyes... doc say its bacteria infection, and might be infectious, so better not meet them... wat a waste, i organised this gathering afterall! haha nvm there's always a next time... shall take a good rest these few days, since my sore throat also haven't fully recover... but i still need to finish the assignment due on sun haha...

生命中因为有了你，一切变得更美好！

2 weeks into practicum

Its been 2 weeks since I started on my final Practicum, which means that I've completed 1/5 of it!! Well, its not easy to manage a class, I think I still have alot to learn... But I'm glad to say, that I'm very fortunate to meet 2 nice CTs... Although 1 of them is our HOD, she is very nice, and very friendly though busy...

Completed 2 formal observations, quite a relieve.. I just want to clear them asap =P but i guess i really need to work more on the classroom management.. hope it'll get better as the day goes... still have 8 more weeks with the kids... the p2 class is quite fun to teach at times, cos they like to respond and answer questions, problem is i need to devise a way to keep them quiet and get their attn when they're too excited... p3 class not as easy to manage, but am trying... hope the new grouping that my ct arranged will help =)

one more week, and it'll be the mar holidays! just wan to get a good rest, perhaps a short getaway to batam to relax... wishes to go cable ski, but dun think am going, dun wan to expose myself to too much of the sun... i need the rest hahah.. hoping that everything will be alright for the appt on thurs... just hope the lost of appetite n weight is the result of the change of lifestyle and working habits, and not due to other reasons.... hope that those rashes are really an allergy reaction, and not something that i do not wish for...

乐观地面对人生，一切都会变得更美好！但愿一切都会顺利地过去，让我能从中获取宝贵的经验。

End of NIE life....

Time really flies, yesterday marks my last day as a student in NIE... 3.5years just passed like that... many wonderful memories, with lovely classmates and everything... guessed i'll miss many of them...

had planned to go ECP for cycling after lesson, but due to the rain, went to Tamp instead, and watched "Just Go with It"... its an awesome show!!! with my fav adam sandler acting, of cos it's nice! just came back from JB today, bought quite alot of stuff... but am sad that i can't get the pair of hush puppies shoes... hope i'll be able to find it in sg!! but i doubt so =( and i sort of regret not getting the donald duck soft toy... sad... but the bah kut teh and chicken was nice! as usual...

only edited 2 pics for my digital story this morn, and i feel bored, wonder how can i finish it in a week's time...

Great CNY!! Had lots of fun, playing Charade, pictionary, taboo, saboteur and other games.. and of cos gambled a bit and won some money hahah.. relatives came to my house yesterday, cooked quite alot, like brocolli with scallops, fried banana and sharks' fins.. while mum cooked other meat, fried rice, bee hoon, curry vege and pig stomach soup which many ppl liked! tau suan that mama cooked finished within half an hour! though busy, but was fun!

Last week of sch next week, many assignments due, many things to do, and Vday on mon! in the midst of preparing the presents =)

Approaching CNY

CNY is nearing! Looking forward, but at the same time, hope it wun come too fast! cos after CNY, it means many assignments are due, and I'll be going for my final practicum!

Anyway, had been having a bad and persisting cough for more than 2 weeks! visited the doctor 3 times, and he said its because my respiratory system is sensitive to the cold weather... really bad cough that deprived me of my sleep in the middle of the night, caused me to be eating plain porridge for the past week, caused me to stop exercising... can the cough please go away soon?? i really need to sleep well, to eat like normal, and to continue my exercise regime! somemore there's alot of CNY goodies at home now, tempting me to eat! esp my 4th aunt's home made pineapple tarts!!

i shall go and eat my cough syrup and hope my cough will go away soon.. its really getting better, thanks to all my friends who are concerned, and of cos Deary who cooked the cough tea for me...

anyway, stipend is in! shall go and sign up for the URun challenge =)

Quoted from wy's blog on the definition of friends: you cannot be friends without constantly insulting each other... well, how true is that... becos only if you treat the other person as a friend, then you will bother to 'insult' and make fun of him/her... so if i ever 'insult' or say something that seems to be making fun of you, it only means that you're my friend, and i treat you as one...

Definition of friends is really broad... In many aspects, you'll expect more from someone more special than someone not as important...

week 1 of last sem in NIE

its the end of week 1 for my last sem in NIE... only 5 more weeks to go, before I proceed to 10 weeks TP2 and then its graduation.. time really flies... it seems just yesterday that i went for moe interview, and the signing of contract, but i'm alr in year 4 last sem now.. only 3 days of lessons, but quite alot of work to do.. gotta change my mindset else i'll find it hard to survive the next 5 weeks! 以往上教学法课时我总是得过且过，并没有认真听讲。这回，两个科目都是教学法，如果我再抱着同样的心态，恐怕只是让自己这5周过得更痛苦。我应该抱着积极的态度，认为这些教学法有益于我的教学。

but seriously, i find it hard to listen attentively.. i just prefer other academic subjects.... anyway, cny is coming in 3 weeks time! just went to city plaza with wy yesterday to get some clothes, but din get much, cos not much money left lol! spent too much in China alr hahah..

相信世上最让人留恋的，就是一切美好的回忆……

Happy 25th Birthday Deary!

Hope you'll have a great birthday! I'm sure we'll have lots of fun in Batam!

强烈推荐《藏地密码》这部长篇小说。 扣人心弦的情节，让人卷不离手。连我这个平时很少阅读的人都被深深吸引，可见其魅力之大。紧张刺激的探险之旅，同时也介绍了西藏的明媚景色，不禁让我向往到那里去。也许，这会是我新的旅游目标。虽然我知道，至少要等上个三五年或更久，才有可能踏上青藏高源。

今天刚征服了10公里的慢跑，时速比上回run for hope 还快了将近10分钟，尽管今天的路面较滑，而且我又刚病好，加上已经很久没运动了。因此有这样的成绩，我可是喜出望外。然而，我还在犹豫是否应该参加usports 的10公里加33层楼攀爬的挑战。不知我的脚是否负荷得起，因为今天跑完10公里后，左膝盖似乎隐隐作痛，希望明早起来就会没事。

再过一个月，便是农历新年了。感觉今年的新年来得特别早。也许是因为去年的考试迟结束，因此觉得圣诞和2010年转眼间就过了。即是期待新年的到来，又不希望它这么快降临。总是喜欢这种期待、盼望的感觉！

Happy New Year
