26th Feb 2010 - Celebration of Learning;
Celebration of Learning marked the end of our learning journey of 3 years at TP. Some may feel that these 3 years have passed slow while others may feel it passed fast. Some may have many happy memories, some many sad memories while others a mixture of both. For me, I feel I belong to the third category of both happy and sad memories. These memories stay with us as we leave TP. These memories stay with us from the day they were created to the time we depart from this world. The end of this journey marks the start of another and friendships made will stay and be stronger. One thing I know for sure is that, I'll definitely miss the times I had at TP, be it projects, lectures or tutorials. And for friendships I've made and treasured over the 3 years, I'll definitely remember each and every one of you and continue to keep our friendship going. (:

Tuesday marked 3B08's last tutorial cum presentation. Thursday marked our last lecture. The past 3 years at TP have given me many many many memories, good and bad. Memories that make me smile and laugh till my stomach hurts and memories that made me cry. I'm definitely going to miss TP and remember all the memories I had there, never forget the friendships made there and for most friendships, if not all, make it last even when we leave. (: and I can only say, sem 2.2 to 3.2 have been the happiest times I had in TP. thank you to all who made the last 3 semesters a wonderful one.


my wonderful 3B08. they're really a wonderful and nice batch of class! definitely going to miss each and every one of them.

and my lovely groupmates cum clique (part of them, or at least my clique in 3B08). I'm gonna miss tutorials and lectures with them and the others. I'm gonna miss doing projects with them. but I know it's not going to stop here. (:

The friendship in Clique 2.2 is just going to get stronger even after we leave TP. And i'll always remember how clique 2.2 came about. We formed this clique in 2.2 and it's going to be a clique that lasts forever. thanks for the memories and fun times each and everyone have given me especially to shu peng, wendy, liang yi, ke yuan, hao you, melvin and poh tiong. The clique somehow started with just the 8 of us but it got bigger to the 13 of us now. Let's continue to build more memories together, alright? you people will always have a special place in my heart. and no matter who is it, so long as you need a listening ear or a helping hand, I'll always be there. (:

I just wanted to jot this down cause today's incident in church gave me a sense of achievement. this new girl joined our class today. She was really very shy and stood outside the class with her parents, refusing to come in. Her parents couldn't handle her despite her dad trying to persuade her to join the class and ease her anxiety. I noticed her mum was at the door so I went out and asked if they needed help. Seeing the little girl filled with anxiety, I tried talking to her and convincing her that the class was friendly and would definitely welcome her. I opened the door and got my partner to get the class to sing to show her how fun the class would be. With much persuasion, she finally said ok to sit in but she was still shy.

The lil ones had some craftwork to do after that and I tried getting her to sit with some of the kids but she refused and I didn't force her. When some of them finished, they came to talk to me so I asked them to make friends with her. They really were friendly and after some talking, she opened up a little and introduced herself and shook hands with some of them. It was really sweet to know that she slowly opened up despite still feeling shy and scared. But she really was a brave lil girl. And I'm glad I didn't give up initially when she didn't want to come in. At the end of the lesson, I felt happy and a sense of achievement. At the same time, I'm really proud and happy to have a group of lil darlings who could make a new kid slowly feel welcome. Really really proud of them! :D

school's been pretty hectic ever since it started again. but I'm not complaining. cause I'm having way lots of fun despite those "favourite" projects and tests and the upcoming exams. with Clique 2.2, school is fun all the time and everytime anywhere! (: -loves-
-
Catechism classes started as well. being another year of level rep is even more busier with auntie tina no longer level rep but core rep, leaving things to me and auntie dot to handle, manage and plan. but thank God for my lovely, fabulous and understand partners who understand my work load both in school and as a level rep. auntie dot handles minor planning but I do more. so stress level is obviously high in addition to school.

kids are adorable, no matter how noisy they get. they just add smiles to my face. that was what I reflected upon after helping out at the 4.45pm class today. auntie mona is good at handling kids. tim has his own way too. and his way of handling them is damn funny. and actually, the class is good with just auntie mona and tim. they can handle the class just that maybe tim is not too experienced and auntie mona is new. but really, they just have their way with kids. like how I have my way with my own class. (:

Christmas this year was pretty nice though quiet. I didn't have any christmas parties, just some nice meeting up with my god-sis and her family. and gosh, my god-nephew is so cute!! Jaden's just so adorable. he's my little cutie pie. plus, he's on my wallpaper for my new phone. lol. totally adorable for a 17 month old baby. (:

this may be the last post for 2009. the next time I blog will most likely be in 2010. I had a good start to 2009. I left unhappy memories and experiences behind in 2008. Although there were some unhappy memories this year, be it school (SIP) or between friends, I'm glad that all these are now over (well, at least more or less over) and overall, this year's been a pretty good year for me other than that. but it is these experiences and happenings that made me grow up and realise once again who are the people who will be by your side when things don't seem good for you. and because of that, I'm thankful for it and I'll keep these memories, good or bad, close to my heart. (: I started with a good start, so naturally, I want to end it off nicely and begin 2010 on a good note! and yes, 2010 will be another great year, filled with fun, surprises and lots of memories for me to take away! (:

I feel like venting out my frustrations here but I decided not to, lest they ('I'm not referring to Clique 2.2 or my other friends) happen to google search and find my blog. but gosh, it's damn frsutrating and irritating and really making me pissed off. friends who I've told to will know why. it's just totally ARGH!! but right now, I'm starting to feel calm. hateful emotions will start again tmr or friday morning. trust me, they just simply spoil my day. rahh.

on a happier note, K session with Clique 2.2 and Wen Tong although not everyone from the clique went. but still, had fun with them. it's been ages since I last went to sing. lol. and yes, the company I had today really made me smile and laugh and definitely made me feel better especially after the damn chat and sms. thanks peeps for unknowingly putting a smile on my face and helping me to destress. maybe only wendy knew what happened during the K session today. (:

Clique 2.2 rock my world with...
the jokes they tell, the laughter they add to my life and the smiles they give me unknowingly. thanks for making me smile and laugh when I've had bad days that you lovely peeps don't know and can't tell. LOVE YOU PEOPLE MUCH MUCH!! :D

back from my Bangkok trip!! had lots of fun and did quite a bit of shopping and eating. think I put on weight after this trip but it's ok cause I truly enjoyed myself. some pics to share. the rest are on Facebook. (:


the hotel we stayed in and the place was nice!!

me and angel.

some thai food - paad thai (fried rice noodles) and tom yum soup. yum! (:

banana crepe with vanilla ice-cream from Loft @ Central. this was great!! (:

more thai desserts. totally love the mango sticky rice. literally a must-eat in Thailand. (:

by the poolside for breakfast. the view was totally wow!!

after shopping at Chatuchak, we took some pics while waiting for the rest of the group for lunch.

a thai snack - flying saucers. quite good. but can get quite sick of it because of the coconut.

dinner was steamboat at MBK.

breakfast for the last day. a heart-shaped sausage that pat took. thought it was pretty. (:

dinner at some restaurant serving chinese food at the airport. food was pretty ok.

the group I was travelling with other than my parents and sisters. it was fun travelling with the aunties and uncles - mum's makan kakis. lol. had quite a bit of tom yum soup the last few days at BKK. very different from what we have in Singapore. it's not sour or too spicy. totally great for someone who loves thai food but can't take spicy stuff. (:

back in school. life has been great. after 12 weeks, this is the first time I'm quite happy and smiling from my heart. really enjoying school and I'm going to make the most out of it, get the best memories for the remaining weeks in school before we all graduate. (:

something random - I learnt that when you don't force things to go your way and let nature take its course, things will be better. although the outcome of some things are not what I wish for, but right now, I'm happy with how things are now, happy with the current status quo. cause I believe that if it's mine, no matter how long it's away from me, it'll still return to me at the end of the day. so no point forcing things. if things remain as how it is now or get better in a good way, I'm contented already. p.s: don't worry, I'm okay. (:
