My GESL Event Day

The long-awaited day arrived and we picked the 20 children up from Chen Su Lan Methodist Home. Some excitement could be seen, while certain individuals seemed aloof. However, the children warmed up quickly once we reached our destination.

We began with a story-telling session and told the children about legendary heroes of the past. The stories were enhanced by the beautiful exhibition at the museum.

After which, we had the all-time favourite MacDonald’s meals for lunch. The second half of the day was spent touring the museum. The children had a chance to see artefacts and videos, listen to audio recordings, and do hands-on activities as they moved around the museum in their respective groups. The group leaders guided them by telling them the stories behind significant artefacts, and took the chance to get to know them better. 
The day ended off with reflections and prize-giving. Some children shared what they had learnt and enjoyed. Every group was then rewarded with a prize for something that they did well in. For example, being cooperative or the most attentive. Satisfied with their achievements and rewards, we headed back to the Home and said our goodbyes.

Here the video for that day!!!
 

2011 I’M STILL NOT READY!!!!!

Is 2011 seriously here?  Someone needs to slow the clock down, because I am so not ready.  Usually I’m excited and making new plans and new goals and have new missions.  Not this year.  I needed more time for 2011 to hit so I could welcome the New Year with at least some sort of excitement. 

Why am I not ready?

1) I’m turning 23 in a couple months! Shit!!!!!!!! Wrinkles and Sagging skin are coming closer to me. (If anyone of you see a strand of white hair on me pls don’t let me know!)

2) I begin to hate all the CNY songs played at the malls. They are just like a clock kept on telling me that my practicum is coming.

3) I’m going to enter the cruel workforce this year. (I want to be a student forever:-))

4) Will I be able to handle all the politic in the office? (I have see and heard so many stories abt it.)

Year 2010 is an awesome year for me. Studying at NIE, met a lot new friends, have my 2^nd home (hostel), first roommie (she’s a nice person), little conflict (everything seems to be good) hope this will continue.

To my future obstacles:

Happiness is the overcoming of not unknown obstacles toward a known goal. I’m telling you:I’m not afraid of you!!!!!
