You and I
I heard that Pn. Thilaham shared her thoughts with you all about my decision in teaching in the future. This is why I write this blog today.
Dragging myself back from work and resting my butt and feet now under my table... But, the fingers are working again. Thanks to the invention of computers. Ever since then, the fingers of mankind have to work more than ever... LOL...
I dreamt of you all last night! In my dream, we were in the form 3 class and Aaron wsa still with his poor legs. I saw many many many of you. Carmen and Hsien Wei who were laughing and singing in my dream!!! XD... LOL!!! I cannot stop laughing thinking of that. Hsien Wei looked very happy and sing out loud... LOL... I wonder why Jasmine was so quiet in my dream... HAHA... It was my dream after all... HAHA... Well, I guess I just miss you all...
Let me tell you all again. It is not because of teaching you all I might give up teaching. I do not deny that it is not a great passion and dream since young; however, there is a calling and some burning passion in teaching. I enjoy too to come to know you all and to teach you. It was a great experience ;)
Teaching is always challenging no matter who are the students. There are many factors I would want to go for teaching; at the same time, there are many reasons I would choose other career or prefession after I graduate. I wish to go to poorer places to teach because I do see the need of teachers at those places. Education is meant for everyone :)
Never take any teacher for granted. Teachers choose teaching NOT because they do not have jobs. If you ever meet teachers who tell you that he or she takes up teaching because he or she does not have a job, I believe that they still need to search and realise the meaning and beauty of teaching. Sometimes school teachers could not have interesting activity as they really have a lot of classes, paper work, homework to mark and other matters to take care of. Don't think that it is the fault of our country or our education system. Even my friend, who was a Chemistry teacher in HongKong, faced the same hectic work in teaching secondary school. He finally ended being a teacher and choose other career. Teachers in the State face many similar problems too. We still have a lot to learn and practise to improve ourselves to be better and greater.
If I am given a chance to be a teacher in local secondary, I wish I could be crazy, creative, caring and efficient teacher. My strength comes from God, my passion burns for God and my dreams are driven by Him. If one day in the future you see me in school, you know where I invest my life ;)
Take care! Hopefully ShinYee and Aaron are getting better.

JUNO!!!
The movie and the song track I am SO into right now is 'JUNO'.
Juno, who is a sixteen-year-old girl, is pregnant after her first time with her best friend, Paulie Blleker. She is mature girl who handles her "premature" pregnancy. Does she choose for abortion or she keeps the baby? You all should watch this movie and look at how these characters act as well as the value of this movie.
It is up to you to feel and look at the value. I do not agree with some of the value in the movie but I do support the brave action of Juno.
Check my blog for more :P
P/S: This is really a movie you all should watch.

Positive and Negative Stress? Which one? You choose
I know you all will be having exam very soon. I read up some tips to remind you all to cope with the exam stress.
This is taken from a few website and mainly from the BBC 'The ROSE rule'- The shortest and simplest to remember and follow.
Revise and Recap
Organise time and work
Sleep and rest
Eat healthily
Revise and Recap
Don't do last minute STUDY! You only could do last min revision for all the short notes you have been writing and doing but NOT last minute STUDY! This will add on your stress and anxiety. Do chart and short notes in simple form and all in 1 or 2 blank A4 paper.
Organise time and work
Getting organised does not mean you must have a routine timetable but make sure you do not miss out the important exam dates and start study what you should. Counting the days would be stressful and frustrating yet I find it useful to make you start to study when the motivation is gone.
Sleep and rest
Sleep well is important. Do not stay up late too often. Few times is acceptable and understandable but not until you do not even have at least 5 hours of sleep. Rest could be in the form of exercising, sleeping, watching 1 or 2 of your favourite tv show, talking to someone you feel comfortable, chatting, reading, praying and etc. Make sure you have enough and balance. Yet, not too much on chatting and sleeping XD I recommand exercise, exercise and exercise (can be just walking, cycling, simple strecthing, swimming and etc.) sleep well, talk to poeple you feel comfortable and watch 1 or 2 favourite tv shows ONLY.
Eat healthily
No drugs, no smoking, no alcohol and no sex! Balance diet, more vegetables, fruits and soya milk or milk. You will definately need more fish and some meat as fish gives more nutrient so it makes you clever XD... Drink plenty of plain water. Drink some tea or coffee each day is acceptable but not more than 1 - 3 cups per day (asian size i mean)
No one could ever escape stress in life. Stress is just another friend after pain. It can be a friend to push us to perform and work better and better or an enermy that make you feel suffering, scared and worry all the time. So, why don't we cope with stress now with a correct way?
P/S: Anything you could blog it up or share with me. I am here for you to help you in anyway I can. All the best!
Nothing else better to do.. :)

Out of comfort zone
I
Just came back from Genting and met some people I miss. Do not laugh and again DO NOT LAUGH. It was the first time to Genting... Well, I come from a strict and protective family so the only way I could go is wait until I pass 21. Well, this is my sharing about my first time step outside my comfort zone. I actually tried most of things that I do not dare to try for the past 20 ++ years.
Then, the next thing that capture my attention is Spaceshot and Cyclone. Cyclone is my very first roller coaster. Believe it or not. I have never ride on one coz my papa will worry and both of my parents will surely say NO to me. Well, I don't blame them. They just love me too much. But, the 'evil horn' was out this time. 4 of us went for the roller coaster ride. LOL! I believe the whole theme park could hear the voices of these 4 teachers! It was really my first time. I did not know what to expect so I screamed out loud as I was really scared and there was no turning back.
Spaceshot, which is the most exciting compare to Cyclone and Flying Coaster, is the tallest in the whole theme park. With all my courage, I get my butt to the seat. I prayed hard and in my heart I kept calling JC. Crazy thoughts came to mind yet another side fought back saying that life and death is in God's hand and after all it is just a game. The whole experience of Spaceshot? Well, you will find out. All I could say is thrilling, scary, exciting and prepare for the worst fear if you are afraid of falling like me.
The rest of the game in the theme park was not as exciting as these two. I played again and again... HAHA... most of all, the companies of good friends. Playing dumbo was the greatest and most joyful among all. We all really wondered why. Well, I guess that innocent and simple are the most happy moment in life. Riding on the dumbo gave us the moment of childhood innocent and we can just put everything aside and not to worry.
I went home safely. I thank God for I am safe after playing all the crazy things in the theme park. Also, I feel that I am into another stage of life where I finally stepped out at least once or twice out of my comfort zone to do things I have no courage to do.
Thanks for reading and updating this blog. I miss you all.

Top 13 Worst Slogan Translations Ever
- When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, "It won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you." The company thought that the word "embarazar" (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant."
- Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American campaign: "Nothing Sucks like an Electrolux."
- Clairol introduced the "Mist Stick," a curling iron, into Germany only to find out that "mist" is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the "Manure Stick."
- Coors put its slogan, "Turn It Loose," into Spanish, where it was read as "Suffer From Diarrhea."
- Pepsi's "Come Alive With the Pepsi Generation" translated into "Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back From the Grave" in Chinese.
- When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the smiling baby on the label. Later they learned that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the labels of what's inside, since many people can't read.
- Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious porno magazine.
- Frank Perdue's chicken slogan, "It takes a strong man to make a tender chicken," was translated into Spanish as "it takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate."
- When American Airlines wanted to advertise its new leather first class seats in the Mexican market, it translated its "Fly In Leather" campaign literally, which meant "Fly Naked" (vuela en cuero) in Spanish.
- An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of "I saw the Pope" (el Papa), the shirts read "I Saw the Potato" (la papa).
- The Dairy Association's huge success with the campaign "Got Milk?" prompted them to expand advertising to Mexico. It was soon brought to their attention the Spanish translation read "Are You Lactating?"
- General Motors had a very famous fiasco in trying to market the Nova car in Central and South America. "No va" in Spanish means, "It Doesn't Go".
- The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as "Kekoukela", meaning "Bite the Wax Tadpole" or "Female Horse Stuffed with Wax", depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic equivalent "kokoukole", translating into "Happiness in the Mouth."

Light the Passion, Share the Dream
SONG LYRICS
Flame is the light like a star in the sky
It will burn forever strong and light the way for you and I
We wish upon the stars, that dreams will take us far
Hope and peace in the world we all belong
Love love love we will share together
Love love love we are one
One world one dream
Let us share our hearts together all as one
In a place where we join in the harmony
One world one dream
Let us celebrate the powers of our heroes
Who’ll rise with strength and pride
Love love love we will share together
Love love love we are one
Time and time again they flexed their power spirit and glory
Win or lose they stood together high
Hearts and souls unite together
Bring the worlds to love each other
Reach reach for the sky
One world one dream
Let us share our hearts together all as one
In a place where we join in harmony
One world one dream
Let us celebrate the powers of our heroes
Who’ll rise with strength and pride
Light the passion share the dream all as one.
Happy mid-autumn festival!
???POKEMON THEME SONG???
WOW! this is the first time i'm posting in blog...
I found this video in Youtube last week,
my 5 years old cousin told me he wants to watch Pokemon show(he often put up in my house),
because of i had trew all my Pokemon DVD,
so i decided to go Youtube .... and i found this video....
Hope you guys enjoy it!
the voice of my Heart
Thanks for Esther, Carmeny and others who understand my loneliness.
What I want the most during my last day is not the biggest gift but your last farewell good bye and a hand shake for our friendship.
I am not complaining... the word is not so right :P ... but telling you what I hope the most during my last day... It sounds like I am so self-centred if I am complaining... You all give me a wonderful memory as you all are talented in many ways.
But...
Where were most of you when what I want the most is your presence and our friendship hand shake and hugs?
I sat alone in staff room with Kok Fei helping me to jot down who handed in what and what... My friends have their students surrounded them to say goodbye for the last time...They brought in joy and appreciation into the staff room... They thanked me too and they even gave me gifts when I don't even teach them...
I just sat down quietly to mark all of your books... yet, there were more and more pilling up on my table when I walked away to run another errand.
I wrote and jotted down what you have done in the name list which I typed... carefully tick each column so that I won't miss out any...
Tears come out but other students from other classes came to hug me and shake hands with me... give me gifts, their handmade photo album and cards to thank me...
Some of you gave me the most wonderful cards which are handmade gifts and cards and cards with their handwriting and signature... (I still feel very happy when I look at these gifts and handmade cards, they are on my desk now. I must acknowlege them yet I won't reveal their identity as I promised)... There was one from 4C who came to see me b4 school ends... Gosh, I was so happy yet some disappointment filled me... His presense speaks a thousand words... this is because I longed to see my beloved and talented 4C... what I wish for on my last day is them... come to see me for the last time...
.......................................................................................................................................................................
I was evaluating myself...
Have I been a strict and heartless teacher when I present myself in class?... Strict and serious in teaching because I want to cut the precious gems God puts into my hands so that by the end of the day when I leave them I could see shinny and beautiful diamonds formed.
Have I covered everything I am supposed to do as a professional teacher? I checked myself and I am sure I did all I have to do. Even finished marking the last min exercise books which I could have just rejected as I was told...
I used the last class which is only less than 30 min for myself to enjoy the last moment with you all coz I don't want to use any of your lesson for my personal attention then we have less one class to cover what we suppose to study. I hope you all could understand the reason behind cannot have fun most of the time.
Lastly, I want to apologise too if I have done anything wrong that made you upset. I wanted to say this to all of you... during the last class... It was so rushing that I forgot too...
I have spoken my heart and my thoughts. Don't keep feeling sorry and stay even further from me. I am not as hard to reach as you thought (this is one of the comments I often get) Yes, I am serious person YET i could be a HIGH I aka Crazy Person.
Let's us break the ice to come nearer to each other through our blog. I often see big ice among you all in your class. COME ON! LoOsSsee Yourself! Let's come together, share with each other and build each other! This blog is what we owned together. It is a meaningful blog in our world, at least my world.

Determined not to be undermined ..
I doubt Ms. Chee is complaining.
Some messages. Everyone in the class signed and wrote down a short message and some of us personally gave her something.
Its just that our class wasn't united enough to do something as big as what 4A and 4C would do.
For the record. 4C loves you Ms Chee.
:) P/S:Ms Chee. Blog lah.
Are you complaining? Upset that we didn't give you anything?
To Miss Chee :
Make this for Miss Chee.
I can't put everyone in the picture because I don't have your pictures. Sorry.
Hope you all like it. =)

Entrance to 'Da BLOG' of 4C ...
Last Class for Chee... another begin for 'C' - class
I turn the sad ending of leaving 4C into writing blogs to keep in touch. I hope the passion of keeping in touch with you all will keep me updating the blog. It is the last class for me but it is another begining to move on to another part of life. The movement has just BEGAN!
I am still happy that I teach you all. If you ask me again and again 'Why do you want to become a teacher?", I will share it here.
It all begins with the stupid innocent thoughts of want to influence and change the world in whatever way I can. I want my life to be a meaningful one...
People could label poeple with the clothes and the brand they use, the shape and faces they have, the amount of digit in their bank, the husband she has... I am not saying that being successful and wealthy is wrong. However, I see that nothing will last in this world. I want my life to be used by God and hope that one day someone would label me with 'great virtue' and virtue is what will not fate away. (Glory all the God, I am nothing withouht Him). I live only once and I am deeply moved by the love of God who is willing to lay down His life for us.
Secondly, again, it begins with the innocent passion of wanting to influence and change the world. HOW? :)
School is the medium to reach out to people, from the poorest to the richest, to teach, influence and shape them. Look at the society now, how poeple behave on the road, how people being inconsiderate in many ways, how closed-minded and ignorant we could be sometimes.
"WHY THEY SO LIKE THAT ONE?" Good complaint and scolding! Where do they learn their manner and values? Other than at home, religious education... where else? School... To change the society and the nation, we should begin in school other than home and so on. School. Again, if no one else willing to teach and mould the generation... who else? :)
P/S. Sorry if there is any grammar error... busy di... need to mark your books... >.<
