Happy Teachers' Day!


Teachers' Day Posted by Picasa

To my co-workers, colleagues, friends and teachers out there.. Happy Teachers' Day!!

I'm quite excited as this is my first official Teachers' day, looking forward to the celebration in school later today and the Teachers' day dinner at Meritus Mandarin. =) More blogging after that.

Ooooh.. Sept break is finally here, and its longer than usual, almost up to 2 weeks of hols. We deserved it!

Time. Rain. Mondays.


Raining outside.. Posted by Picasa

Time flies. That's a cliche line that everyone loves to say when they are having fun and it's the end of the hols. Have you ever wish that life can be the same as what we always see in the movies. You've seen it before, they have these lines flashing across the screen: a week later, one month later, two years later, and voila... time had passed! Sometimes, when I'm feeling bored and I don't really like what I'm doing, how I wish I have those kind of 'in a blink of an eye' effect and time can fast foward a bit more. I just feel like finding out what I'll be like months and years later. Will my life be better then?

It's been raining the whole of the weekend so most of the time I was at home reading a good book, catching up on sleep and just slacking. There are times when I really love the rain. It's a good reason to be in bed, it makes the air smells fresh, and sometimes it even make me feel peaceful. But at other times, it is quite frustrating: Why is it always raining when I'm planning to go out?? It's even worse if I'm on my way to work or back from work. I just don't like it when it rains when I have a tiring day ahead or behind me.

Anyway, even though I've really rested well this weekend, I'm not the kind of person who loves to stay at home or indoors too much. At this point of time, I just sort of wish for that 'fast-foward' effect, so that this boring weekend will be behind me and I'm doing something better soon.

All about teaching... for the teachers!

- Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions.

- If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one
time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to
be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist,
without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence
for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom
teacher's job. (Donald D. Quinn)

- A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way
for others.

- There are three good reasons to be a teacher - June, November, December.

- The secret of teaching is to appear to have known all your life what
you just learned this morning.

Graduation

No idea what to blog about.. brain cells are usually dead at the end of a typical workday. However, there's no lessons the next few days due to PSLE oral! Hurray!

Anyway, I'm back blogging. Quite inspired by Peiling's blog so decided to dig up photos of the several occasions when I was gowned. =)


Heehee.. I'm sure many of us had attended this PAP kindergarten 'graduation', with the fake airport background behind. This should be taken somewhere in 1986. Posted by Picasa
