as of this week, it had been one year since i started working (time flies... or in fact, they zoomed past us in the speed of light)... well, i'm really grateful that God has flavored and blessed me with good colleagues, good working envt, good children and families as well as lot's of opportunities/projects for me to grow professionally..

though i have worked for a year only, i've experienced so much (both positive and negative), such as engaging in an action research project with another colleague, planning events for colleagues, families and children, helping our centre winning the CHERISH award by HPB, learning to do office work/SOP, attending conferences/exhibitions to learn about the latest and most current early childhood trends, having a classroom of my own (a.k.a. my "guinea pig".. it's a joy to be able to experiment so many things with the children and try out all sort of ways to display and decorate children's work in the classroom).... and many more... i think since He knew everything about me, He knew i cant stand doing the same thing over and over again, thus giving me more roles and responsibilities so i wont feel that work is dull and routined..

there's so many things that happened within this year that were definitely not coincidences, coz at the end of the day when i reflected, i realized how everything fits so perfectly into God's plan of preparing me to be a better early childhood educator (and this started like 7-8 years ago, from the moment i took diploma in ech).. all for His greater plans in the future.. so no matter how exhausted or discouraged i was at times, i felt that educating young children is still sth which i enjoyed and loved.. and will continue to do so till God revealed His next plan for me..

so well~ i do not know what holds for me in the next one year.. but i'm sure God will be there with me.. so i wont be afraid of any new challenges that will definitely come... i felt like though i'm a teacher, influencing ppl around me.. but God is actually the main teacher and influencer.. :D

He has been really good to me... thank you, my dear Father and Friend!! :)]]> 2010-05-23T23:36:11+09:00
the "good" thing of having HFMD is that we have lesser.. much much lesser children attending school this week :D well~ kiasee parents.. hmm.. i wldnt let my child attend school if there's an outbreak of HFMD there as well bahz.. but it's really good to have ard 10 children everyday (a true bliss.. luxury.. i'm treasuring every single minute i have now).. it's such a huge difference having 10 and 30+ children in your class.. even if the 10 are shouting, the noise wldnt be as noisy as just 30 of them talking.. hee.. it's a comparison to show how much difference there will be - the noise level + the attention we can give for each and every single child + the number of times you have to discipline a child.. seriously, it's really very ideal having lesser kids.. but if that's not the case.. i think we just have to make the best of what we have and can to cope bahz.. :X

but HFMD is a bad thing! i'm washing so so so many toys everyday.. and cleaning up even the nook and cranny of the classroom.. i'm doing so much cleaning that my hands shine now.. i dont know why they shine.. i suppose it's the detergent or dettol that cause it.. hmm.. now my entire classroom smells of dettol also.. i really hope that will kill all the unhealthy germs! :X NO MORE HFMD please!!

i also learned alot through this experience.. i learned how to report HFMD cases to higher authorities (it's really troublesome.. you have to report to at least 3 authorities for every single cases, and have to have the supporting documents ready)... i've learned how to call parents everyday for chit-chat sessions (basically just to check whether their child is having HFMD since they arent in school) plus dealing with angry parents.. hmm.. sometimes i really hope parents will understand us more.. we of course wldnt want this HFMD outbreak as well.. and we're also also risking our lives to work in a HFMD-infected place (adults will get HFMD too).. hmm.. if only they can understand us too.. :D

it's also good to be in a multi-cultural country, coz i learned from the indian teachers that we can use frankincense to kill germs (which is scientifically proven, so it didnt just appear in the bible as gifts for baby Jesus, but it has some good uses as well~ :D).. now we're smoking our classroom with frankincense everyday.. oh yah.. now my classroom actually smells like dettol and frankincense.. haha..

argh! just hope this HFMD outbreak will stop!!]]> 2010-04-22T22:39:53+09:00

was raining really heavily on sat afternoon.. but thank God! the rain stopped before the concert! dap and me were at the national stadium quite early.. and we finally managed to buy the mayday's bear shirt.. we wanted to buy last year at their concert but it was sold out.. so this year we came early just so we cld buy it :D hee.. but apparently there's even more people who were earlier than us.. hmm.. we're all kiasu singaporeans indeed.. haha.. while we're eating our pizza at the stadium.. it really reminded me of how i used to eat KFC with my classmates before the NDP show when i'm pri 5.. haha.. somehow i just feel happy to be able to step into this huge stadium again.. maybe coz i have only been here once for NDP and it's rare to be able to go back again for a concert..

ok well~ we're finally seated at ard 7plus.. dap and me were sitting facing the stage, but at the back row of the grandstand which they set up.. so when we turned to our back and looked down.. we're about 2-3 storeys above the ground.. scary if we were to fall.. :S but sth funny happened instead.. while waiting for the concert to start, dap and me were taking photos, and we placed some of our stuff at the foldable chairs.. suddenly the bags just fell and ended up on the ground below.. it was so sudden.. at that split second, both of us tried to reach out to grab the bag but was too late.. intially we screamed and shouted... but ended up laughing uncontrollably.. it was just so sudden and funny in a way.. hee.. as a result, so many ppl turned around to look at us.. dap had to run really fast to get back the bags, in case other ppl took it away.. haha..
thankfully there wasnt any fragile items in the bags.. and no one was walking past at that time..

ok finally the concert started.. as usual.. mayday started by displaying a self-produced movie on a huge curtain covering the stage, introducing the members and the theme of this concert.. when the huge curtain came down, there was fireworks too.. and mayday started playing a sequential of their popular fast songs.. we were so high~ can feel the grandstand shaking as fans jumped to the beat of mayday's songs.. then they started with many other of their popular and latest songs.. but as this is their first time having a concert outdoor, they were perspiring ALOT.. so for just the first hour, they looked like they just came out from a swim.. they were happy and touched to be able to hold an outdoor concert (esp since it's always been their desires to hold it at the national stadium) but really regretting it as well.. haha.. for us it's not too bad as we're not under the spotlights and there's occassional winds.. hee..

the best part for this year concert was the 2-3mins long fireworks.. was super cool and awesome!! at the highest point of the concert the fireworks appeared in the beautiful night sky.. and so many of us just cant stop cheering and screaming "WOW!WOW!".. so cool!!

and of course with the end of the fireworks, the concert came to an end as well.. hmm.. was sad coz their concert was only about 3+hrs long.. dap mentioned that mayday have pampered their fans too much le.. ever since last year 4-5hrs concert, we're requesting for more and more time... true~~ but well~ hope to see them again next time~

i really like the feeling of having a concert outdoor.. with the natural wind blowing against your face.. the big space all around you... night sky above you with some stars.. the feeling is just so awesome :D hopefully their concert will still be held outdoor next time.. hee..

made a very simple short video of the concert.. featuring 2 songs + the fireworks at the end.. did this using the video editing software that philip got for me.. well.. love the software.. cant wait to create more videos with it.. was sharing with friends that i'm really starting to love editing videos more and more.. kept having lot's of ideas of making a video in my head.. cant wait to put them into practice! :D
]]> 2010-04-19T00:19:20+09:00

and this time their concert is held at the National Stadium.. the HUGE stadium! (gov said they wanna tear down the building like some years back.. until now still there leh.. hee.. but thankfully they didnt tear it down la.. if not mayday wont be able to hold their concert here..) last year during concert, mayday mentioned abt conquering the biggest stadium in SG - the national stadium.. and this year they did it! hee.. I remember the last time i was there.. I was just a pri. 5 student, going with my schoolmates to watch the NDP.. this time going back to see mayday's concert.. there's gonna be fireworks and lot's of exciting stunts too.. feels like i'm going back to watch NDP afterall.. and oh yah.. when we're in the national stadium, we must must do the signature kallang wave.. haha.. some fans are already coordinating the kallang wave.. so cool... cant wait cant wait ar!! :D

coincidently, this term for my dramatic corner, i have to set up a music and sound corner too.. so instead of just displaying the musical instruments for the kids to play, i set up the music and sound corner with a "stage/performance" theme.. hee..

with the disco ball, spotlights, and muscial instruments (jr, see your keyboard there.. hee..... yep.. it's with me now~~ :P hopefully the kids wont spoil it), the kids can pretend to be mayday as they play the musical instruments... hahahaha... as i was setting up this corner, i was really anticipating mayday's concert.. haha..

yeah! just 9 more hours to go!! hopefully it wont rain this evening~ yeah yeah!!]]> 2010-04-17T10:26:45+09:00
it's museums time again with the usual gang.. hee.. had lot's of fun exploring around and chatting and doing stuff initially, wanted to visit the museums with them for awhile and then rush home to finish up my work.. but well~ cant help it when i'm with them.. just wanna slack and chill and not go home to face "reality".. haha.. so we ended up not only going to museums.. but buffet dinner at some Indo restaurant (which wasnt worth it in the end coz we only took one round of food and became too distracted in talking bout some issues.. hee..) as well as singing K till around 2am.. haha.. 3 (actually 2) of us gotta go work the next day but just didnt really bother bout the time while we're tgt.. hmm.. it's fun singing K with them.. hee.. i get to hog onto the mic.. but no choice coz gl die die also dont wanna hold the mic.. she rather sing out loud then hold the mic.. hmm.. next time i'll force you to take the mic le.. haha..

oh yah.. dap even said she miss taiwan's KTV (namely Party World) and wanted to go back again when we're in taiwan.. I was so happy to hear that coz I really love the service, environment, variety of songs as well as sound systems of Taiwan's KTV.. and of course I wanna go back and sing again.. then dap added, "coz i wanna eat their dumplings".. hahaha.. ppl go KTV to sing.. she go to eat dumplings.. but i do agree la.. the food there is really very very fantastic.. :D yea~ so means we're going Party World in Taiwan again lo~~ :D


went 3D2N cruise to Malacca and KL with min, uncle john and olivier.. hmmmmmm..... it's a long story of how it's ended up as this group of ppl going but well~ had not a bad time at the cruise with lot's of dramas.. surprisingly there's so much to do onboard the cruise.. quite a number of free entertainments, such as sports, performances, movies, games etc.. we also got to play at the casino (of coz we all play really small) as well as the bingo game.. none of us win anything at the end of the trip.. hee..

actually i felt that it shldnt be called a cruise.. it shld be called a pig-rearing farm or sth like that.. coz there's 6 meals provided everyday.. yea.. SIX meals EVERYDAY! and wah.. we're like eating NON-STOP.. :X and with ppl like uncle john who kept asking, "what time is it already? is it time to go for our meal?" or "what time is the next meal" (when he just stepped out of the restaurant) or "hurry up, time to go for our next meal" blab blab.. wah.. we wanna skip meals also cant coz uncle john will eventually make sure we have EVERY meal i'm so afraid of eating at the end of the trip le.. even skipped 3 meals when i'm back but still dont feel hungry at all.. :S

we also went KL city for a short tour.. didnt buy alot of things coz not much time to shop around (was caught in a really terrible traffic jam on the way, thus, causing us to have lesser time to shop) and there's nth much that interests me la :D but the best of all is we get to eat at A&W.. i miss the root-beer float and waffles so much! hee.. was surprised that they sell burgers too.. coz my only memory of A&W was root-beer float and waffles.. hee.. yummy! i miss A&W already...

on the whole, not bad experiences on the cruise.. thank God i didnt get sea-sick (was feeling giddy initially when i just boarded the cruise.. was worried that my giddyness will get worst when the cruise heads for the open seas.. but prayer really works, coz instantly after uncle john prayed for our well-being, i felt well and began "jumping and playing ard the place le" as quoted by uncle john ~_~").. and also thank God we're didnt have any encounters of storms or icebergs or whatever that could cause us to sink ]]> 2010-04-13T23:56:40+09:00
she also recorded lady gaga's poker face with iphone also.. go search and see it also! hee..


i also want an iphone! waiting for version 4 to be released.. hopefully in June :D]]> 2010-04-12T00:17:22+09:00 it would be better if there's a chinese version one.. hee.. maybe coz i'm not familiar with the english songs so i cant play guitar and drum that well~ heehee.. (*excuses*)


and yea~ went to participate in the earth hour event ystd at esplanade with some of the usual gang.. well~ i think earth hour is just another excuse for us to meet up.. haha.. coz we werent really interested in the lights out and activities that much actually.. we just kept chatting about everything under the sun till really late.. but it's a really different and joyful experience.. to pack food from restaurants which we have never packed food from before.. and also to lay out our picnic mat, eat the food as well as just chill and relax while many people were walking by around us.. well, initially i felt "pai seh" doing so coz we're the only ones that's gonna lay out our picnic mat to have a picnic.. but thankfully we did that.. coz once we're sitted comfortably, we totally ignored the surroundings and just enjoyed our moments together.. then we realized that more and more people also started sitting on the grass like us.. hee.. yah la.. then i realized there's no need for me to feel "pai seh" at all.. grass areas are meant for having picnics too.. haha..

brought along all the taiwan travel guide books which we borrowed from the lib too.. wanted to discuss about the itinerary of our taiwan trip.. but in the end we talked about so many other things except the taiwan trip.. hmm.. time for another meeting to really discuss about our taiwan trip le yea! but the one good thing is we've decided (just very suddenly) to extend our stay in taiwan for 2 more days, even though we have to pay slightly extra to change the dates but we're so willing to do so.. hee.. so yea~~~~ we're going to taiwan for 10 days now, instead of just 8 days! more times to travel all around taiwan!! *oh yeah!*

and finally... our mission trip 2009 video is completed (gotta present it during church service on easter day).. i was actually doing it on thur night.. for 4hrs, all the way till 3am plus.. just when i was about to do the last last LAST finishing touch before i click the "save" button.... something just #*%)#!( happened and the whole entire video was GONE~~~~ i was so shocked at that time.. 4 $*)!#(% hours spent to do a 7mins video and it's gone in 1sec..... coz it's already 3am plus le and i still have work on friday.. so i didnt do again till sat... but thank God i managed to finish before youth.. so i can show them on time.. i love the video.. hee.. thank God for all the ideas to do the video.. it's rather nice.. haha.. i'm not praising myself as it's definitely because of God that i can do up such a lovely video.. He is my never-ending source of creative ideas and inspirations!

22 more days!












cant wait cant wait ar!!!~~~~~~~~~]]> 2010-03-25T21:58:20+09:00 i miss boston!


recently i saw so many things that reminded me of boston... like when i was looking for travel guides in the library.. i saw boston travel guide.. including the version which we brought to boston 2 years ago.. wah~ immediately all the memories came back.. all the places we went.. all the food we ate.. all the things we bought....... etc.....

read from the news that Boston Celtics (their bball team) lose in NBA or sth like that.. haha.. i told you they were able to win the NBA champion in 2008 was because we're there... hahahaha.. we brought them the blessings... hahaha..

and then today at curriculum training, our trainer mentioned Red Sox (the baseball team in boston).. and then wah~~~~ reminded me of boston AGAIN!! who wld have expected your trainer to talk about Red Sox as well.....

then there's also many many other places which i saw the word or things that reminded me of boston again...

i miss boston! wanna go back so much!

recently one of the staff in wheelock college sent us a survey to ask about our interest in taking their Masters prog.. well.. there's this one question........

Q: If you were to take up the Masters prog, would you prefer to study in boston or singapore?

my answer: BOSTON OF COURSE!!

haha.. i wonder how many of my classmates will answer boston as well~ hopefully the majority.. so they will really arrange the Masters prog for us in Boston.. hee...

boston!boston!boston!boston!boston!]]> 2010-03-25T01:34:14+09:00 well~ didnt think much of the the toys initially.. "well, they're just toys~ how interesting can it be?"

but~~~~ never underestimate toys ar~~~ you can learn so much from them too.. hee.. thanks to dap, our "tour guide", who explained to us some of the histories and meanings of the toys... thus, we were able to understand the importance and significance of these toys.. so toys are not only just for playing.. they are able to preserve history as well as tell us many stories.. stories of the events of the year that they were created, why and how they were created, where they were created (cultures, people, language, attitudes etc), and many many more.. it's so interesting :D even the materials used to create the toys can also tell us stories.. hee..

really... do not underestimate toys...

but i really admire the owners.. 4 years ago they decided to set up this place all because of their love for toys.. and so they started searching and buying toys from ebay.. so imagine.. there's over thousands of toys in this museum and they bought it all from ebay.. and most of the toys are really one-of-a-kind.. so wow~ imagine how rich they must have been :D but that's of course not the only reason that i admire them.. but i admire them for their courage and determination to make their dreams come true.. it's not easy to part with so much money to invest in a shld-be-quite-hard-to-earn-money business.. hmm.. i wonder how long it'll take for them to breakeven as well... :D

oh yah.. dont think that any toys can become so valuable worx~ one of the determining factors that will decide whether your toy can be high in value is how well the box/package used to keep the toy is preserved.. the toy and the package must be together.. haix... i threw away all the packages of my childhood toys already.. who knows.. some of them might be so valuable now~~~ now i know why toys collectors cant bear to take the toys out of their packages.. they wanna preserve it! so smart.....

so well~ had a great exploration time at the museum.. well~ we only had one hour exploring the toys actually.. coz we spent too long eating lunch and chatting and joking that we forgot we gotta rush for a movie at 520pm.. so by the time we finished eating and stuff.. it's 4plus already.. but thankfully we were able to complete the museum in an hour..

right after the museum... ls went back and the rest of us rushed to catch our movie, Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva.

well~ this movie is based on the very popular nds game series, professor layton.. this game is very very addictive.. gamers have to solve puzzles with professor layton and luke, his apprentice, the young boy.. well solving puzzles is very fun already.. but these games also include a very captivating storyline.. so to proceed through the game, you need to solve all the puzzles and ultimately, solving the biggest mystery towards the end of the story.. whenever i'm playing this game, i cant stop.. i just keep on playing and playing and playing until my nds is out of batt or i fell asleep.. haha.. cant stop..

so anyway~ the movie has got no linkage with the games :D but it is interesting and fun because audiences can still solve puzzles together with the casts.. however this time, professor layton will tell you the right answer after a time limit.. in the nds game.. of course we have to keep guessing till we get the correct answer and move on.. :D another good point, as like all the other professor layton games with notable soundtracks, the soundtracks of this movie stood out as well.. now i have the songs stuck in my head.. hmm.. cant take it away~~~ :S

but then.. i just feel that this movie ended too quickly.. after solving just 4-5 puzzles.. professor layton solved the puzzles by reliving the implausible events all by himself, dimming the audiences' viewing pleasure.. so towards the end, we're just listening to professor layton's conclusion.. hmm.. well~ the movie is 99mins anyway..

on the whole, this is yet another rent-a-dvd-and-watch-at-home movie.. it's good to be able to solve puzzles on the big screen and this movie did started off with a promising and intriguing brain teasing but faltered away as a general and fantasy film... ok la.. i still quite like this movie :D heard they're in the process of producing the 2nd movie already.. well~ hopefully the duration will be longer and there'll be more puzzles to solve :D

hopefully they'll release the very elaborated and detailed nds game version of the movie as well.. so this time, we can solve the puzzles all by ourselves :D

oh yah.. after the movie.. 3 of us were walking ard marina square and we saw some of the casts in the flintstones.. haha.. we managed to get a free photoshoot with them as well.. were hesitating initially but our inner-child kept urging us to go take a photo with them.. so well we did~~ they're SO CUTE! :D]]> 2010-03-25T00:53:41+09:00 Atashinchi no Danshi..

These days, the term "homeless" has taken on new meaning. There are youths referred to as "net cafe refugees," who have neither a job nor a place to live, but who find themselves hopping around internet cafes. One such refugee is a 20-year-old girl named Chisato, who lost her mother at a young age due to sickness. She spent her youth trying to escape from the huge debt her father left her, and her battle with the repossessors unfolded every night. However, her life changed after meeting one man named Shinzo, changing her views on the meaning of "family." Shinzo comes from a rich family tracing back to the Edo period, and he adopted six good-looking sons with the hope of one becoming his successor, but all of them have strange personalities. Shinzo promises to free Chisato from her debt if she marries him and becomes the mother of his sons. However, a life with these six guys under one roof will not go smoothly...

actually i also feel that this show comprises of ALOT of misunderstandings.. so each episode they're solving the problems to clear the misunderstandings.. and it can be so touching to find out the truth at times.. but it also takes courage to face the truth as well as to forgive and forget.. but when you finally forgive and let go of the past, good things will come your way and you'll feel happier.. maybe that's what the director was trying to tell us ultimately..



this is a really very nice show~ :D every episodes are SO SO hilarious and interesting... one minute you're laughing and the next you're so touched and tearing.. and then you started laughing again~ hahaha.. this show is crazily interesting! and the 3rd son, Sho (acted by Mukai Osamu) is so so so handsome! haha.. well the "mother" is very cute as well~ the 5th son is also very cute... hee.. really nice show! go watch it!

and i just love watching japanese dramas... coz most of their dramas consist of only around 10 episodes.. short but very sweet and to the point.. and best of all, though i'm busy but i can afford time to watch 10 episodes.. hee.. alright~~ off to watch my next drama~~~ :D

aiyo he is SO handsome!]]> 2010-03-17T01:42:23+09:00
went to see this exhibition with jm last week.. and we enjoyed it very very much!

after this trip, we gained many ideas and inspirations.. art is so so interesting and useful to let kids express their thoughts and feelings.. we're plesantly surprised to find out that some of the drawings were done by preschoolers as well.. though young but their drawings will really shock you~ indeed, there's a story behind every drawings, every strokes and every colours.. and it's all our roles to find out and listen patiently to their stories..

this exhibition not only gave us a deeper insight of how we can use various art games/tools/resources to engage kids, but we also learned some ideas of how we can display their artwork... you know in most places i've seen, even in my classroom, we often display artwork in an uniform manner (e.g. put the drawings side by side, drawings are of the same size etc).. but here, we see how the organisers arranged the art pieces in a not so uniform but still aesthetically pleasing manner.. though not all the drawing papers are of the same size, they still look so nice when and neat when you display them together there is indeed no "fixed things" in art.. be creative! be novel! be uniquely you! :D

you know we educators are actually holding mini-exhibitions in our classroom everyday too.. we display kids' work all over our classroom all the time.. from drawings to paintings to scribblings to writings to 3D models such as clay, crafts and even constructions of Legos or blocks or manipulatives... and it's really important to display them nicely.. so your classroom looks nice and it will brighten up everybody's day.. hee.. not only that, kids feel a sense of belonging to see their work being displayed and respected.. parents also feel happy and excited to talk with their kids about their work when they see it.. wah.. we indeed have a very important job... :X

i had a curriculum orientation with my students' parents ystd.. and this is what i told them, "there's a story to tell for every work done by your child, and it is our role to listen to their stories and convey it to you so you can also know and talk about their stories.." and that is why i recorded all the dialogues said by the kids when they are engaging in the various activities.. the dialogues/narrations are then displayed together with their work.. it's so much more work for us to do.. but then it's also very meaningful because it can also help to build bonding between parents and child, teachers and child as well as parents and teachers... just hope that more parents will step into the classroom and take a good look at all the displays~~~ :D

cant wait to see and attend more of such exhibitions.. though small but it can really inspire us so so so much!

i seriously shld just be a art teacher.. haha..]]> 2010-03-17T00:58:19+09:00
went out with jm to see this exhibition, "Mummy, is my drawing nice?".. it featured ALOT of kids' drawings + art games + descriptions/theories/narrations.. and i got so VERY inspired by what i've seen.. so much so that i wanna revamp my classroom and try out alot of art activities with the kids! haha.. cant wait to get started...

actually i shld really just be a art teacher instead of a childcare teacher ar..

i wanna blog more about the exhibitions we went today.. but guessed i'll do so another day bahz.. wanna share here so all you educators reading my blog can also be inspired.. haha.. but gotta rush lot's of work this week so well~ i'll share when i'm more free ~_~"

hopefully my classroom will be revamped by next monday.. gonna have curriculum orientation where parents will come and take a tour ard the centre.. nervous but excited.. finally a good chance to show parents what their kids are learning in sch as well as showing off their work.. sometimes when i display kids' artwork in sch, i will feel that it's gonna be a pity if parents did not come in to see.. finally there's a chance to do so :D

alright.. back to work.. just trying to take a break..

oh yah~ recently i discovered i have this amazing "ability" to tell which kid is crying just from listening to their cries.. without looking worx.. just listening.. scary yet amazing.. so it's like a game for me.. whenever a kid cries, i'll try to guess who's crying.. of course by now i'm 99% right all the time.. hee..

so it's really true when ppl said a mummy will be able to know what her baby want just from listening to his/her cries.. cant believe i've spent SO MUCH time with these kids that i can even distinguish their cries... i'm like their mother ar.... :X

i need a break....... seriously..]]> 2010-03-08T00:35:45+09:00

well, cant wait to see my students, but then i also wanna slack whole day at home.. hmm.. was sharing with some friends ystd that i really wldnt mind changing my job from a childcare teacher to a kindergarten teacher now.. haha.. it's different coz the hours are much much shorter (now i have to work like 9hrs everyday.. try facing and being with the kids for 9hrs daily.. you'll really go crazy.. on the other hand, kindergarten is 3hrs for different sessions and you have 2 sessions per day).. and you have school holidays on top of all the public holidays.. even though the pay will be lesser i think.. but well~ it shld be worth it for all the extra time given to me to accomplish even more things..

i have so so so many things that i wanna do.. again i was complaining that my "freaking never-ending to do list" is almost 10 pages le.. but there's really hardly any time.. i'm bringing work home everyday to do as well.. there's just so much work for a nursery teacher.. now i cant imagine how much more busy it wld be for K1 or K2 teachers and it's really difficult to complete work while working too coz your entire energy and focus is on the kids.. but ok la.. slightly my fault as well coz i'll procrastinate :D hee... but it's still alot of work la~~~

hmm... childcare teacher? kindergarten teacher?

anyway ystd went natas travel fair with min and shan as well.. surprisingly it's not as crowded as we thought it wld be :D we were there to look for ideas of where we can go for our 10th year anniversary trip this year.. hee.. grabbed ALOT of brochures.. asked for some prices here and there.. quite a good experience..

have you been to a travel fair? you know how they always organise the exhibitions.. each country will have their own areas to exhibit their own country things + decos + brochures etc... so as we're "travelling" from country to country collecting brochures, i cant help but said out loud, "wah how good it would be if travelling between country is as easy as this"... if only ar...... i think next time i might just quit my job... pack my backpack and become a backpacker... really wanna travel ard the world! (well too bad for me, i cant be a pilot or air stewardess and i'm not a host for any travel programs.. so the only way is to be a backpacker la..)

but thank God.. at least i'm having alot of opportunities to travel even though i'm still working.. for eg, i already have 4 confirmed overseas trips for this year.. *yeah* cruise to malacca/KL in march, some beach resorts with lame friends in july, taiwan with usual gang in august and mission trip in december.. hee.. yeah~ and they're really my motivators everyday.. cant wait for time to pass quickly now~ cant wait to board the planes~ hee... even my colleagues also cant help but keep asking, "wah you really love to travel ar".. yah.. maybe they shld post me to a childcare centre overseas.. haha..

oh yah saw this poster today... yang cheng ling used this poster to advertise her concert in taiwan..

so amazed.. it took 10 builders, some days to build this 8kg of Lego-dress... she has brought Lego play into a higher level.. but i really really wonder how she wore it.. does she needs to be there while the builders build the dress around her? hmmm... i shall try building sth interesting with the Lego in my classroom tml as well.. hee...]]> 2010-02-28T23:19:16+09:00
