Things have changed so much since i started blogging. From a down and out NSF to a student in NUS to an Instructor in outdoor camps while studying to life in Sheares Hall to a coach and trainer in AKLTG. This blogpage has captured so much on my last 3 years. My happiness, my tears, my laughter, my crappiness and my friends.

Throughout the posts, i have received words of encouragement from so many people viewing it. The first person would most prob be Qiuxia who supported me through the tough last few months in Sheares. Then would be winnie who quietly put in encouraging words. Sook May may be far away but her words will always make me feel better. Of course not to forget little sister Cheryl. During my toughest time in my career, you've gave me so much support! You said that i was the one that made you change drastically. I would want to say that you are the one that made me gritted my teeth and hang on and now i have slightly pulled through.

Memories are written here but carved in my head. This is my past. It is time to move on. Every entry here is like a page in my life. Every word i wrote here has left its footprint which will never be washed off. It is never easy to stop writing and end this page but i must. Life is just like books. Sometimes it would be nice to end a volume and proceed to the next. By ending this volume, i would love for it to be buried 8 feet underground for 1000 years waiting to be discovered many generations later.

With this , i thank all my faithful readers and this is my last post on this blog.

Yeah!!! my lappie is back in service. Sent it for servicing this afternoon. Made a wasted trip to funan only to find out tat they do not have the spare parts there. Have to make my way to Henderson instead. hmpf.

Things are going relatively well recently after all the downs in the past few weeks. I have started teaching in SKLC. Numbers are rising and i am getting relatively good response from parents and students. Testing out different styles now.

Wat an irony. Just as i have decided stop being a musicman after the east spring camp last week, i am assigned to be musicman for the next 2 days for AKLTG's teacher's training. Fate. Perhaps i have a musicman life.

What have i done in the last few weeks? Rulang Pri camp , Punggol Sec camp, East Spring Sec Camp, Clementi Pri workshop, SKLC training, Studying my PSLE math, Slimming down ( i think so)....and many more

hmm...learning new language soon....hopefully will pick up french and refresh on my jap.

Upgrade Upgrade Upgrade!!

What makes a good teacher? I really wonder. I have seen teachers who gave up on their students. I have seen teacher who are at wits end with their students. I have seen teachers who gave their students their best. I am not sure what kind of teacher am i. Guess, let the students decide.

Was on msn yesterday and i just saw lena's msn offline. It just occured to me that lena will never be online anymore. Feels damn weird tat i still lena's nick on my msn.

Cheryl: maybe one day we shd really go guanyin temple together. Love u too sister!!

What happened in the last few weeks?

1) IAG advance 1
2) IAG advance 2
3) Huayi NT camp

Advance was a very different experience from basic camp. I have learnt alot from advance camp. Tats about it for advance..let it be in my memories...hehe

Huayi NT camp. The first time i am training. I trained the outdoors and pareto and note making and 30 words and 8 principles of memory. WOOHOO...damn shiok .

I think my life is like a roller coaster. As i felt that my life is going down again, my life picked up almost immediately, just like a roller coaster. Lets not think too far. One step at a time. Hohoho

The last few weeks have been bz. I am glad i am bz. Got work means more progress and thats good.

At least things got clearer in the last few weeks already. Meetings about my future, clarification about my prospects. The direction is much clearer already.

I am a story teller!!

Everytime we go to school and conduct training we share with the students techniques but more importantly we share stories tat we collected every day. These are stories that so many people out there will not get to hear. Aren't we story tellers? Hohoho

Yesterday's coffee session at starbucks tampines was quite pleasant. I was quite surprised when i saw Mary there. It has been years since we last met. She slimed down quite alot. Looks quite good and happy too.

Bartley sec closing ceremony last friday was quite good. We got a "scare" when there were no parents scheduled to attend. Even till 30 minutes before the closing ceremony starts, we are expecting only 1 parent. Kind of sad rite? In the end, 8 parents arrived. The closing ceremony was not considered emotional ...but more of a HIGH and Class spirit thingy.

We did "Y MUST YOU SUCCEED" at bartley. I think tat segment really shocked everyone. I was quite guai lan to some participants in that segment. This is one segment i really hate to do but sometimes we just have to be cruel to do it. A last resort before the program ends to draw the fighting spirit of the student out. I guessed it worked. haha...cheers!!

Lena!! Even when you are not around, you have actually made a very big difference. Today i shared with the students the story of how well liked you are and there were so many ppl at your wake. I asked them this question. What do they want to see at their wake? A wake that everyone say that it is a waste that they die or do they want people to say that they deserve to die? Your story actually moved them. I know these kids are smart to understand what message am i embedding in the story.

I thought i would not shed a tear but as i was sharing your story, i shed my first tear since knowing about the news last week. I thought i was a robot. Today i know tat i am still human after all. So happy. You will always be in my heart.

I guess i am too tired going to schools and schools and schools....meeting people after people after people. I may not speak alot in school programmes but i know what i say will affect those listening. Too tired seeing all those sad stories of students in every school i have gone to.

I never thought life could be this fragile. Everyday we talk about death in our work but no matter how much we talk about it, i guess we will never be prepared for it.

Actually wanted to blog happy things for Superkids camp and St Nicholas Girls School Camp but i shall dedicate this post to LENA.

The day Lena passed away, i was in her alma mater , St Nicholas Girls School conducting workshop for her juniors. What an irony. To think that such a nice person could possibly leave us is a shock. Lena is one of the nicest and unassuming lady i have met in my short 1 year in Sheares Hall. She would help me in getting inducted into the hall by inviting me for the activities. I actually attended alot of those activities becos of her ....give her face. I still cannot accept tat i have lost such a nice friend.

I still remember the days we would joke in hall. The day i took pics for her. The day we took pics in the dinner and dance, the days we played badminton, the buaya week, the dance performance, the block head....everything.

To LENA: You shall always be in my heart and may you have a safe trip to paradise.
