Choices

I totally agree to Ms Lim's talk on "Choices" during Monday's assembly.

Everyone has choices to make. Not just choices to make in school, but, choices to make in life. No one can force you to do things that you do not want to, unless, you choose to do it yourself.

I always emphasise the importance of choices in class. Each and everyone has a choice to learn, or not to learn. I am pleased that most of you chose to learn. I am glad to teach those who are willing to learn. But you may always choose to stay out of my class, if you decide that your conversations are more important. I will never stop anyone from stepping out of my class to set up some talk shop. But it's a choice, at the end of the day, each and every one of us has to bear the consequences that comes with our choice.

Well done to all, who are mature to choose the right choices. Great fruits come from great choices sowed.

Keep up the excellent behaviour!

Well done!

Well done Alastar!
Alastar from Saint Anthony 6, did a great job for Colour and Contrast! I think his work deserves to be published on my blog.


Once again, well done! Keep up the great work, Alastar!

Best 3 of lines and curves will be published soon. Stay tuned!

The great durian

This structure is uniquely Singapore's. It's well known as the "Durian" by many aunties and uncles.
I say, treasure what we have, be it durians or the freedom and priviledges as Singaporeans.
Nothing last forever, thus, do not take things for granted.

There are alot of ways to look at life.

There are many ways to look at life. Life may be dull at times, empty, exciting, suffocating, excruciating maybe.. can you name me more?

Photos are almost able to express how a person feels. The following photo shows darkness, a sense of emptiness, fear, frustrations and other feelings. But the light brings forth hope. Thus, a photo like the following shows hope, in the midst of down times.


Life is fun with creativity.

Products made by people with disabilities

Today, i came across this fair at Vivocity. One of the stalls was selling products made by people with disabilities. I decided to buy 2 notebooks from them since they are helping the disabled. The reason behind me supporting them is due to the fact that I admire their determination and will. Even though they are disabled, they can still work, draw and produce goods that even I, a more fortunate human being, could not. Another reason would be, when we buy products produced by them, we are creating jobs for them! This is important because each and every human being is special. We are all unique in the eyes of the Lord. Some of us may be born with disabilities, but there's a reason behind every work of God, and we should never look down on the disabled. Same thing goes for the poor doggies and kittens out there in SPCA. Please support them! I will make my trip down to SPCA soon to see how I can help. Anyone interested?

I bought this notebook because I like the design of the coverpage. I only realised that it's a four leaves clover.


And this, the cover is so unique and nice I don't bear to use it!


That's the interior... i plan to write my thoughts and draw on it.


This is the society that helps the physically disabled. Those who are interested to help, feel free to let me know.

P2 Esplanade Trail

Last Friday, the Primary 2 kids went to the Esplanade on a learning journey!
Following is a movie clip i made. Enjoy!

Family Day

Every Sunday is family day. I'll try my best to spend time with my family. Today, we went for dinner at Vivocity's food court. Ermm, the top level one.. dunno what's the name. I ordered the beef hor fun, expecting it to be really good, but, it totally "cannot make it". An advice from me, do not try it. Or rather, try it at your own risk!

My horrible and disappointing horfun that cost me $5..


We decided to take the Sentosa Express train into sentosa! Woo hoo! But it was really slow.. felt like LRT...


It was quite thrilling because there was an unattended bag... who knows it could be a "ahem" cannot say... later get imprisonment unnecessarily.


So nice.. get to see such a scene.. you wouldn't get to see this if you drove in!


We wanted to watch the Songs of the Sea... but tickets were sold out. I wonder why... but it was really annoying to see so many tourist in Sentosa! It's so different from 2 years ago!


But the trip was worth it as we saw the sunset...


And I thought it was pretty nice to just let the waves splash on my feet. I felt peace and the closeness to the nature.


Wanna feel and hear my experience? Watch the short clip!


Nothing beats a cup of tea to end a beautiful day.


I love my family! =)
