Happy Teachers' Day!

2007-09-18T01:01:00.000-07:00

I taught DEEE students FOM this sem.
A bunch of lovable students and very attentive and participative in class.
On 1 Sep on Teachers' Day, they visited me at home, warmly welcome by my "personal bodyguard" Ninja (woof!)
We had a GREAT time.
We played games and people who lost got a free foot reflex!
Had dinner at a golf club and ended the night with "Bluff game."
Very touched by their gestures, sniff! sniff!
A BIG THANK YOU for warming my heart :-)

YES-NEC 2007

2007-07-17T21:20:00.000-07:00

Say "hi" to St. Hilda's Secondary School (top) and Global Indian International (below), together with our very own SP student mentors!

I was the lecturer-in-charge for these 2 schools to brief them on the components of a business proposal which they are required to submit in the YES-NEC competition.

The students did a on-line quiz and we had a friendly competition on a quiz as well.

Very energetic and responsive students. I had FUN!

Probably seeing them this Sat during the YES-NEC semi-finals :-)

Toastmasters Installation Nite - Continue

2007-07-09T08:29:00.000-07:00

Our veteran Toastmaster, Christopher, whom we address as "the wise man."
He speaks and sings well.
I like his calm composure.

This is Mr Gea, one man I respect a lot who treats people with respect, sincerity and honours his words.

Also the compere for my wedding.

He runs his own Accounting firm, a busy man who is GENEROUS with his TIME. Appreciate him a lot.

This is Gary (middle and left hubby), our Past President of the club. Very humble and helpful man. Always carry a SMILE whenever he goes :-)
Bet you can't tell Gary is an Accountant!

2007-07-09T07:49:00.000-07:00

Group photo of members of Toastmasters club, guests and VIPs. We were to dress as "movie characters."

Our veteran toastmaster, Patricia Lim, dressing as My Fair Lady. Very apt!
A retired English teacher :-)
No play play hah....;-)
L to R: Introducing Heidi, Oops forgot his name, sorry, a very helpful new member and Anthony, our "Bra-man."
He scripted a speech on "bra" and became our renowned bra-expert!!!

So what am I dressed as? A modern witch with hubby (in brown) as Harry Potter!!! Ha ha! Hubby did not allow me to write a 'N' on his forehead, sigh......

Toastmasters International - A Public Speaking Club

2007-07-09T07:28:00.000-07:00

A misconception that Toastmasters are for people who are good speakers. WRONG! It's for people who hope to be developed as good public speakers :-)

It was our installation night for the incoming exco 07/08 (just like SB club!!!)

Our dinner had a theme - "starry, starry nite" with performances by several members of the club including "moi", singing a Christian song playing my keyboard.

Hmm...MST next week, why are they playing pool?! To release stress of course!
We had a GREAT time together!

Wanted to take their individual shots of suave poses while they cue...all so shy!!!

About teaching, biggest gratification is TIME WITH STUDENTS :-)

Enjoy their company - innocent, sincere, funny and genuine!!!

My students, don't lose these valuable qualities even when you turn ADULTS :-)

L to R:
Introducing Binghui, Astley, Ervin & hubby.

Happy Father's Day

2007-06-21T09:58:00.000-07:00

My advice: Treat your in-laws like your own parents and you will do FINE :-)
LOVE your spouse, LOVE his/her folks too!!!

Cute!!!

Tiring Thursday @ Marina Square

2007-06-15T09:21:00.000-07:00

Tiring Thursday

2007-06-15T09:16:00.001-07:00

It's 2 weeks of vacation for the students. Well, few would agreed to that as most will be studying for their MST (Mid-Semester Test).

I took a BREAK at Marina Square for a bowling game!

Some TOYS PROMOTION going on!

My Ex-boss

2007-06-12T23:20:00.000-07:00

Blessed with bosses that always inspire and guide me :-)
Called my ex-boss this evening and found out he had contracted stomach cancer. He already had his stomach removed.

Will be visiting him coming Tue cos he's going "kimo" tomorrow and will be tired. Ps pray alongside with me :-)

Small Fibre Neuropathy (SFN)

2007-06-12T23:09:00.000-07:00

It's not a low carbo meal but a DISEASE!!!

Was having lunch with sis when someone caught my sis's attention.
His name is Peter, aged 56.
He contracted SFN and it gives him pain on the feet, agonising!
He went into depression.

I was quiet all the time when he aired his grievances to my sis.
We were introduced and he said "I look so much better" than sis, hah!!!

I started "counselling' him and he was encouraged and thanked me.
It's a GREAT feeling when you "help someone" unexpectedly, unconditonally.

There is FREE LUNCH (genuine help) in this world, just got to be discerning enough :-)

FIRST training session with Bowling Coach

2007-06-11T18:12:00.000-07:00

Had my training session last Sun, 10 June at Superbowl Marina Square.
As usual, always punctual, my training started at 1pm.
Told to bowl 3 games consecutively with Coach watching, observing, measuring my distance, BUT, not a single word spoken - Man of few words.

Fortunately or unfortunately, my scores were "unusually high" that day - 140, 121, 153.
My average is about 122.

Then, coach commented that I am a "visual" (I AM VERY IMAGINATIVE!!! WILL NEVER WATCH HORROR MOVIES!!!) person and asked if I am a combination of "kinetics" (touch and feel type) or auditory (listening type).

Coach warned there will be lots of drilling, i.e., repeat movements until your thighs and knees go weak!!! Hopefully, lose some pounds ;-)

Looking forward to my next bowling training session on Sunday!!!

Birthday Celebrations!

2007-06-09T17:16:00.000-07:00

Bought papa a mobile with lots of love.
