Advance Birthday Celebration
I took this from Kaishen's blog. Thanks so much for compiling them. :) It's really a creative way of putting them together as a collage. Where's my princess crown? :P I figured that it's tough to place it in, because my head is partially cut off. I guess I shall just visualize an invisible crown. :P Afterall, I know that i'm God's princess. :PE198 celebrated my birthday yesterday. However, I was not surprised. Matthew called to warn me about the games and to wish me 'Happy Birthday' in advance as he will be in Hong Kong together with Geraldine this sunday. Later on, I also saw the cake which makes it so obvious. I wonder why is it that every year a brother will always let the cat out of the bag and I ended up not being surprised. :( *But...but... but... I love surprises*
The games were not a problem for me as I'm observant enough. :P The card made by Leonard is really beautiful and I love it so much. Thanks Leonard, for I know that it's a sacrifice you've made in the midst of your exams. I'm touched!! Last but not least, thanks to all who made the celebration possible. :)

Visualising the overflow
Diary for the day
Finally, the Pri 1 orientation is over. It stretched from morning till noon and I felt so exhausted from running about. I was even scolded by one angry parent who got so fedup with the way the whole presentation was planned in the hall. It was not even my fault but I just kept quiet and only kept saying i'm sorry as I led him up to the classroom to complete the registration.
My colleagues felt sorry for me but I'm thankful that it's all over. This matter makes me wonder why is it that husband is often the one who flare up while the wife will quietly walk behind the guy and show a sorry look.
I came home and slept through the whole afternoon from 1pm till 4++pm until beverly called to jio me for a jog at east coast. At the end, we still didn't go. :P Guess, it's really the best rest i've ever have this past week. Thank God for the peaceful sleep!!!
After watching my anime, I don't know why but I was reminded of the things that have been happening over these past weeks. I felt so painful!! Couldn't help but start to tear and felt the need to be in the presence of God. Picked up my guitar and started worshipping. Felt that it's a period where my love tank is so empty and am walking through the valley where one breakthrough comes, a breakdown will follow. Hopefully, the breakdown will end here. :)
As the going gets tough, I will become tougher!!! :P

Smiley
Seriously want to thank God for people he had placed in my life to encourage me. Received a surprise sms from a friend today and was really touched and encouraged by the words of edification and prayers. Guess lately I haven't been smiling much thats why people are affected too.
Next, the basketball game gave me a boost of energy and made me happy.
Then, I've received news about something which has been burdening me for the past weeks is solved. No longer do I have to feel afraid and burdened anymore. Really want to thank God for putting responsible and creative people in my life to handle the situation which made so many of us so worried.
I've felt really tired these past weeks but I've been pressing on. Times I do wonder why such things have to happen. Yet, have to trust that God is walking together with me and i'm not alone.
Indeed, there is a breakthrough!! <-- Kaishen, now the break is "through"!! :P
I've been climbing and finally reaching the peak of my mountain. :)
Hallelujah!! Give God all the Glory and Praise!!
For You are my lamp, O Lord; The Lord shall enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop; By my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
*2 Samuel 22: 29 -31*
Basketball *hootz*
Hurray!!! I'm just feeling so high and happy today. :P
It has been ages that I get to be home at such a timing. Of course, it also meant that I've a lack of sleep. Cell group ended quite late yesterday so I stayed up last night till 3am to complete some stuff for my pupils and woke up at 6.30am today. I tell you, the alarm rang so long before I dragged myself out of bed. I'm dog tired!!!
NOW, I feel so happy!!! Guess why??
Haha....I had two games of basketball with some of my colleagues but we played only half court. Thank God that one colleague lent me his oversized T-shirt so that I could join them. It was quite a scene. Four of us ladies were all bare footed, wore oversized T-shirt and skirt to play basketball.
I've enjoyed myself but I'm suffering!! I had to bear with the pain on my big toes and walk home with my heels. I've got blisters on them due to the abrasion against the sandy floor. Hope they heel soon. OUCH!! It hurts alot when i'm walking. :(

Give Thanks
Last friday, my fossil watch stopped functioning. Then yesterday morning, the necklace which my kor gave me snapped. Both accessories are precious to me as they are both given to me by people dear to me. My heart pains when such things happens. Also, I kinda feel wierd when I don't wear them daily,especially my watch.
I tell you I felt totally horrible that I even told my colleague about things breaking down lately. But she said "old things don't go, new things won't come".
She's so right!! Mum offered to get me a new necklace to replace the broken one. Yet, to me those are irreplaceable. I guess i'm just too sentimental. She also offered to change the battery for me this weekend as she will be going down to orchard with her siblings. What more can I say? I should thank God for such a sweet mum!! However, I've already asked her not to buy me the necklace as I could do it myself. As for the watch, I guess I may need her help as I haven't got time to go down to Pacific Plaza these days and I can't survive without my watch, I ended up looking at my empty wrist.
In all things, give thanks to the Lord!! Big or small, bad or good...God's mercy endureths forever. He's good all the time, you will be amazed by how God can change situations around. :)
Attracted
These bears are so awfully cute!!! :P Went online to search and found out that they are found in Jeju Teddy Bear Museum. Here's the link:
Actually they have other teddy bear museums around the world, but simply not Singapore. :(
However, Yanpeng told me that they are made in China. Hmm...they are priceless as exhibits in the museum,yet their production cost is so low. How about making my own bear?? Maybe one day it will be priceless too. :P
Actually I think they are cute because they are being dressed up as characters in the show 'Goong'. So maybe after owning one it won't be that captivating anymore. :P Actually I think that the bear that belongs to Shin is cuter. It looks so cute when it portrays the character and emotions of Shin.
Guess it's just a passing wave for me. :P But those bears looks so romantic in the picture. Hee...

Disturbed
I'm feeling kinda down today. I guess I'm affected by the fact that the term is coming to an end this Thursday.One of my girl is flying off to Taiwan tomorrow morning, so I spent some time to make her a little card and drop her a little note this afternoon. She's my latest addition to the class and although I've only taught her for about less than two months, I really would miss her. Remembered our first meeting, where she looked so shy and afraid. Now, she has changed so much and found her sense of belonging in this class. Academically, she did well too. :P
Last Friday, she gave me a gift and it was then that I realised that she's a christian too. That gift was a windchime and it has the word 'Jesus is Our Peace' engraved on it. It was a word in my season. It also produces a very nice sound compared to the other windchimes I had. I am so touched by how God uses different people to touch my life.
I was so amazed by what they all did today. They also presented their cards to her and she was so moved. Actually, it's really going to be tough on them as next year they will all be streamed into different classes. I could sense their sadness and I too feel sad that they will not be under my care anymore.
Times when they attempt their work, I would sit by my table and stare at each and every individual one of them. I also ponder what they will become when they grow up. But what touched my heart as I stared at them was the simplicity of their heart.
Many a times, my walk is tough but yet it's these little ones who kept me smiling...

Memories
Solitude is the exact atmosphere right now
where fond memories kept flashing...
Makes me wonder and ponder.......
Keeping the memories
& walking away.......
