TWO - O!

2-0
(No, this is not the result of a soccer match i've just watched.)
I've just the BIG 2... is this going all too soon?
Can't believe that's it for my entire teens.
Then again, I'm super thankful to God for all the blessings He has showered upon me for the last 2 decades... the people He has placed in my life to change me, teach me, lead me, love me and mould me to who I am today. The friends that I treasure ever so dearly... sharing our lives together and growing up in the Lord together. Growing up has been tough I must say, pulling through till now is truly and purely by God's grace and mercy. Pray that I'll continue to walk ever so closely with God, shining the light He gave me to everyone around me, loving others with the love that He first gave to me and becoming the woman after God's heart.
The last few days of teens were fantabulous! Went out with some close friends in church on 2 occasions and had loads of good food, fun and great company. :) Oh. and a super nice wallet, super cute pooh, super pregnant giraffe etc... heh. Very like...
But not all's well and lovely on this day though, one class just had to spoil it all. I spent quite some time preparing this particular lesson for my NT english class... trying to make it more interesting for them so that they can learn more effectively. No one's giving up on them except themselves... they just want to waste their time away when people are spending so much time trying to help them. What's the point of helping a class that wants to give up on themselves? Why work so hard for a class that doesn't want to learn anymore? I was so disappointed that I just stopped the lesson and cried. I can't believe I actually cried in class... what was I thinking? ROARS. My first tear in this whole year... on my TWO - O!

为什么这样子?

You'll need to change your encoding to unicode in order to read the following post... Go to View>>>Encoding>>>Unicode.

我不明白为什么博客内容都变成了中文字。。。自从台湾大地震赵成了网际网络故障之后,电信就变得非常不稳定。就连上一上不同的网站也很麻烦 - 有时要refresh好几次才能够观读到该网。就别说其他网站,说一说博客吧!有时在机缘巧合之下刚巧有空想读一读好友的博客... (alright at this point of time, it has already proven my point. well done.)

To think that I was all so ready to post an entire entry in Chinese, it just had to spoil my plans. Anyway, I'll just continue from where I stop...

哦!不是吧。我都说了,博客真的有问题!现在又可以运用华文了! 对了,我刚说到。。。有时在机缘巧合之下刚巧有空想读一读好友的博客, 它却会反复无常, 好像小孩子在闹便扭一样,真受不了!有时就小差像对小孩那种又骗又哄的做法。若你是博客的用户,你会知道整个博客的运作都是利用英文的。但如今,整个博客网站都布满了中文!不是说我的华文不好,只是习惯性的问题。用惯的东西突然改变了,谁受得了?想一想,Publish 变成了“发布帖子”- 我又不是要结婚。。。 发什么帖子?还有,Create (as in creating a new post) 变成了“创建”- 人家不知道还以为要盖房子呢!(到了这里,又有状况。)

Alright, as I was trying to open up another page of the cheena looking blog, I saw something I didn't manage to see before “更改语言”. What the. I never knew I could change the language of Blogger. Dang. But who changed it? I've never seen that function! AGRH. (Sorry Blogger if you feel offended in any way... it was si-ri-ously irrinoying!!!)

Beware! First post on TMT!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I must say... this is one of my favourite picture taken during the mission trip to Thailand last December. (Never mind the double chin and the bad hair.)

Having kids surrounding you is a great feeling... you can feel their energy and their happiness just bursting forth. We had quite a number of opportunities to teach English in the local schools... really love doing that. They are rather 好学 in a way. They would take down notes when we're teaching upfront and some would take their own set of notes out when they hear something familiar or have learnt before.

Being the photographer of the trip, I took the opportunity to roam around the school taking pictures, going from class to class while my team leader was teaching the class. There were many interesting sights to behold actually... I remembered one school with a huge motorcycle shed... a neato band room... while there are schools with makeshift bicycle area... chickens running around aimlessly... Haha. As I walked past some classes where we were not teaching, some of them would crowd round me asking for my name and laughing at it of cos - for some funny reasons. Some of them would request for me to help them take pictures and then asking me many questions about myself. All these with my limited Thai. Haha.

I think Thais are an affectionate bunch of people... they'll just smile at you even if you don't know each other. They can make a conversation go on well you'll suspect you've just met each other. Gee. This is cool. I'm lovin' it. The more I talk to them, the more I wonder what it would be like if they all knew Christ. They would come to do so much more than we can ever expect.

Hazy Weekends

How do you make a cup of Hazelnut Coffee?

First of all, I think you'll need lots of Haze... and that's just what we have plenty of recently! (Alright. That's quite lame. My apologies.)

But seriously, the haze was getting real bad siah...

Friday, being the Mid-autumn Festival, my secondary school best friend and I met up to "play with fire". Literally. I know it's pretty childish... to think I actually said that to my students when I saw them gathering to play with sparkles. I went over to her hostel in NIE and we were preparing to play in the corridor despite the haze... BAD MOVE. I think we contributed to the haze after that! It wasn't long before the both of us realised that the smoke the sparkles produced actually looked/smelt like a fire rather than the haze! You should have seen how the 2 of us packed everything and scampered into the room... Hilarious.

Didn't have CG on Sat but a few of us still met up to discuss the script for CG day performance... Well well. Wasn't as fruitful as we would wanted it to be but I think some great ideas were being sparkled. Funny how we were more concerned about the PSI than the script. HAH. Then again, just wondering if it's realistic for us to assume we would have time to come up with a whole new script when all of us are super busy. Hmmm. *shrug*

Clear and sunny Sunday! woohoo! Tennis! Yeah!
oooohh.. Jon made a very funny statement on sunday when we were talking about the PSI-that-thinks-it's-the-stock-market.

"After PSLE, we should ask all the P6s to come together and ask them to bring all their textbooks and have a campfire... We would then pray to God for the wind direction to blow towards Indonesia and we would have our revenge!" Haha

That's it.

That's it. Seriously. That's IT.

Once upon a time I was still marvelling at my own digicam... A panasonic (dang. can't remember the model...) anyways. Those of you who have seen my digicam... you should know how sleek and amazingly thin it is. Although it didn't have all the wonderful functions a fantabulous camera would have, it had all it takes to be a great traveling companion! Slotting it into my pocket... going wherever I want to with it. With one hand, I could so conveniently grab my cam and snap! AGRH. Is this what they call, "ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END"?

It has travelled to so many places with me so many times... Malaysia, Thailand, Australia. Yet it's still not satisfied. It's looking for adventure. Ultimate adventure. An adventure that cost it its life!

A one way ticket to the WASHING MACHINE. (Although I rather it had been Washington.) *sigh*

I suppose that's no such thing as suppose

This should no longer be taken for granted... nothing is supposed to be anything.

So many times we would assume that things would turn out as it's supposed to be.. and when they don't, we would be utterly disappointed and question why things just don't fall into place.

Ironically, the meaning of "suppose" is supposed to be to imagine, conjecture. Yet we think that it should happen as we 'suppose'.

Like how students think that teachers are 'supposed' to be... well. A teacher. The problem is, they think that teachers are super-natural beings. They think that teachers can do so many things at the same time, not forgetting anything single nitty gritty thing that students tell them, have 48 hours a day and love the rebellion and troubles they make... oh. and being caring and patient when you refuse to hand in your projects after a few weeks?! Sorry. But teachers are not like that - although they'd try hard to sometimes. Don't suppose that teachers are what they supposed to be. HEY! I just realised... they are NOT supposed to be that in the very first place! But why do the students still assume that they are like that?

This topic is getting interesting.

In many places... we assume that things will turn out as it's supposed to, people would behave as they are supposed to... Many times it does turn out like that but there are also times when they don't. And when they don't, we'd be shocked and question how can things be the way it is when it's not 'suppose' to be. So are we all wrong? Does it mean that we can't assume things will turn out as it's 'supposed' to? Does it mean that we should not 'suppose' at all?

Suppose things don't turn out as it's supposed to? How would you feel?

brrr... it's cold in here!

In this quiet corner where no one goes to in the staff room...

Here I am, seated all alone.

I miss sitting at MF's table, although it's piled up with worksheets, files and dunno-whats... CDs stacked in an unorderly manner right up to the top of the cubicle... thousands of red pens stuck in a small little pen holder... notice of reminders, letters, timetables collecting dust on the sides of the cubicle. But at least I had neighbours - people to talk to - and right beside ML! *sigh*

I think I've missed the main point again: It's not cold there. I've been banished from spring to winter!

The place where I'm sitting now. Feels like it's below zero degree C.

Brrrrrrr..... I can't feel my nose and fingers anymore. Are they there at all?

Forbidden City

I must... blog about FORBIDDEN CITY!!!

It's super good... so good that I was loss for words more than half the time. Well, I don't know if it's because this is the first musical I've watched in my entire life... first as in.. live, onstage, performers singing, acting and dancing... excluding the ones I've watched in school of course. This IS my first ever pro musical in the Esplanade!!! wooohooo!!!

As the lights in the theatre dimmed, a low male voice came on out of nowhere and kickstarted the exciting night. I could hear my heart beating ever so clearly... expecting to be satisfied by the performance. The lights all around us were further dimmed, leaving only the lights on stage shining on the props. The first character strided out from behind the curtains... my heart skipped a beat. I was constantly trying to convince myself that I wasn't dreaming. I AM in the theatre watching a musical.

There was a live instrumental ensemble "hiding" at the front bottom of the stage... They were really good. Almost flawless I convicted. I was mesmerised by every single note they played... humming along with the catchy melody... counting along with the steadfast tempo. Oh. Heard that the songs were all composed by Dick Lee, now I am convinced that he is not just a goofy SI judge, but a talented musician.

The performers were all superb! Wow. Must tell you guys about this scene in the train... the coordination and the tacit understanding amongst the performers were remarkable... one after another they sang without mistake. Although they were spread out across the length of the stage, it was still perfect. The ensemble, I must say is made up of talents. Most of them can hold their tune well (well enough as I could hear) and they acted and danced with passion! Woo!

Kit Chan came on and stole the limelight immediately. Her crystal-clear voice resounded in the theatre and I was amazed by her zealousy for music. It didn't take me long to realise why she left the showbiz to pursue her dreams... Music in the industry has become commercialised so much that it has become a mere money-making tool. To her, (and I'm sure many of us) music is art. It's not just an entertainment.

Lighting. Speechless. It's so good that I had a hard time trying to convince myself I wasn't dreaming. It's true... It's happening right before my eyes! The importance of lighting is often neglected in many productions - be it on-screen or on-stage. People will say that the show is good but they often can't tell why. The emphasis placed on each character. The different colours. The different power. They each tell a different story...

As the curtains are drawn, thunderous applause echoed in the theatre. I was touched. Touched by effort put in... touched by the talents... touched by the sophistication... touched by the protrait of the empress dowager.

One of the many reasons why I'm in love with musicals is because of the motifs used on stage... each object having a story to tell. Together with the meaningful and cleverly-crafted lyrics... THIS is what makes a successful musical.

A dream becoming a reality.

Our Faith In God

Why do you believe in God when you have never seen, touched, heard,
felt and smelled God? An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his
class on the problem science has with God, the Almighty.

He asks one of his new Christian students to stand and.....

Professor: You are a Christian, aren't you, son?

Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student: Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal
him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't.
How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella.
Is God good?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student: From...God...

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything.
Correct?

Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?

(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?
All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?

Student:Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?

(Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe
the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No , sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God?
Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science
says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.

Student: No sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat,
mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have
anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat,
but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold.
Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot
measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir,
just the absence of it.

(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as
darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something.
You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....
But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness,

isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make
darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue
there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God.
You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can
measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and
magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.

To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that
death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life:
just the absence of it.

Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved
from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of
course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where
the argument is going.)

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at
work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour,
are you not teaching your opinion, sir?
Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's
brain?

(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain,
felt it, touched or smelt it?.....No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable
protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect,
sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face
unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student: That is it sir.. The link between man & god is FAITH.
That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

Having a headache now.. think i slept too late last night and woke up too early this morning. Crap. I can't fall sick... at least not now. Don't wanna be sick during the trip... pray for me.

guest who

It's another day when I can sleep in without being awakened by the call for me to go relief teach... I was still stoning on my bed when I heard a knock on the door. I panicked. I'm afraid of door knocks either super early in the morning or super late at night. They never fail to scare me out of my wits.

Then, with my heart still pumping really quickly, I opened the door and what I saw a group of people wearing white. Eh. The sight was pretty intimidating. I was barely awake then.

A man who looked pretty familiar said, "DrTeo is coming, please get ready."

Huh?

Oh. that DrTeo.

Crap. My hair's in a mess and I haven't brushed my teeth. There's no way I can do all these in a few seconds.

Keys. Where are the keys?

My gggrandma is no where to be seen. Seems like she went downstairs and she brought the house keys with her. Don't know where I put my own set of keys. How am I going to open the door for him? Never mind.

That man added when I was trying to organise my thoughts. "What's your name?"

Christina.

Before I could do anything, he was here...

"Hi Christina, sorry to wake you up so early. Please vote for me." DrTeo said as he extended his hand out for a handshake and passed me a sample of the voting cards.

Then the embarrassing moment came... he was trying to shake my hand a second time when he passed me the card. Confusing. Especially in the state I was in. Oh man. In the end I can't even remember if I shook his hand again.

Now, just downstairs, a lorry with his pictures and 2 loud hailers is going around the neighbourhood asking people to vote for him.

Back to basics.

The last time I saw this kind of promotional method was in Thailand... the lorry was going around the village. Quite interesting. Of course I didn't know what they were promoting. Heh. If only I can understand...

I'm still not eligible to vote yet. I doubt it'll make a difference to me though. I'm quite bo chap when it comes to politics... sometimes not because I don't care, it's because I don't know. HAH.

RT (part 1)

I haven't gone back to my sec school for almost 3 years... and this time, I'm back as a relief teacher. Exciting.

When I was still a student in that school...

I disliked morning assemblies.

I disliked Monday assemblies.

I disliked the rules that made me wear a hairband.

I disliked it when I forget to wear nametag.

I disliked singing the school song.

I disliked going up on stage to sing it.

I disliked seeing my face in the school song mtv.

I disliked hearing my voice in the school song.

I disliked going up to make announcements for band.

I disliked doing duties in the morning.

I disliked queueing to buy food during recess time.

I disliked teachers who act fierce.

I disliked climbing up the stairs to my classroom on the top level.

The list goes on...

Now,

I still dislike Monday assemblies but I enjoy morning assemblies more. Missed singing the national anthem and reciting the pledge.

I like the rules that require students to keep their hair neat and tidy but why don't they need to wear nametags now?

I like the school song better now because I don't have to go on stage to sing it... neither do I have to see my face in the school song mtv... nor hear my voice in the school song anymore.

I don't hear no announcements now.

I like it when I can go and eat whenever I want to.

I like teachers who help me scream at my students when they misbehave.

I like taking the lift.

Why do people treasure things only when they've lost it?

I hate/dislike/detest/loathe carrying umbrellas...

It might be threatening to rain or have even started to drizzle when I leave the house BUT I'll never bring an umbrella with me. Never.

It has been pouring these few days and each time, if I'm out, I'll be drenched from head to toe... At this rate, I'll probably die of pneumonia soon.

Today, it was threatening to rain... I decided to bring an umbrella with me lest I get caught in the rain again. But guess what...

&#%*#@!?&%^@

IT DIDN'T RAIN.

Next time you don't want it to rain, just give me a ring... I'll bring an umbrella out.

Arrrgh!!!!

Do you know that mucus attracts ants?

My pile of tissue papers can testify to that. Or is it just mine?

*sniff sniff*

What a mess.

iwannawatchdachangjin!

My neighbour is watching dachangjin!

Actually, there's nothing wrong with that. BUT look at the time! It's 12.20PM... It's not showing on TV now, meaning they're watching VCD! Crap.

Their TV is super loud. I can clearly hear everything... the music at the beginning as well as the dialogues. AGRH!

Can hear but cannot watch. SO IRRITATING!

sick.

I didn't have to pay a cent for the super combo I have... if only it's a meal with mixed grill combo!

This is a combo of sore throat, ulcer, sneezing, running nose, blocked nose.

Feels as though my nose is falling off soon. *ah chooooo*

Where is the bus?

That was the question I was asking myself the whole time I was waiting for my bus after giving tuition at Clementi...

I reached the bus stop at 6.23pm. I was standing together with the crowd who is going home from work... 105...106...154... one by one they came and went. Everyone would tiptoe and look over shoulders whenever they see a tibs bendy bus approaching... 189 never fails to deceive all of us at the bus stop. Crap.

So many times I've thought of taking the MRT or hailing a cab even but I just wanted to see how long it would take the bus to come to the bus stop... At 7pm, having been waiting for more than 30 mins, I started to doubt if the bus even comes to that bus stop. This is bizarre. Where is the bus?

All of a sudden, the whole bus stop seemed to be flocking to the back... Gosh. It was 184. Finally. My watch reads 7.48pm. Oh wells. ChannelUSuperBand has started... which means that I've stood at the bus stop for 1 hour and 30 mins!

As it was the first bus that came after more than an hour, it seemed like the whole bus stop full of people boarded the bus at each stop. We were like a super big can of sardines.

When the bus was approaching maju camp, we saw a
police car parked horizontally on the other side of the road. Immediately I concluded that there must be a serious car accident along that stretch of road. Then we went a little further up... lo and behold, there was a huge tree lying across the road and a car stuck beneath it. The whole stretch of road from SIM to after NP... numerous cars and buses were trapped. Apparently they were there for a long time... the buses were all empty, the cars' engines and headlights were all turned off and the people were all outside their vehicles.

I counted... there were 8 184s there! At the end of the jam, or so I think, there were cars reversing... where to I'm not sure. But the sight of it was rather funny.

I thought the jam ended at KAP... how wrong was I! When my bus turned out into courts, the jam was still on on the other side of the road! This is indeed a super massive jam man.

I reached home at 8.45pm. Only got to watch a mere 15 mins of ChannelUSuperBand. *Agrh* Gggrandma was grumbling by the time I got home - I got our dinner with me.

WOW. I took almost 2 hrs and 30 mins to get home from Clementi.
