Went for courses yesterday and today. I was late for both the days, the first for half hour and the second for 10 minutes. I know it is bad but the place is really far and I guess I had forgotten how to gauge the travel timing. It's all the way at Buona Vista and at 9am! The time where the trains are crowded. Erm... ya so I was late. But at least there is an improvement on the second day, isn't it? :p

Anyway, the two days of courses wasn't really enriching, that was what I feel. Or maybe it is just too early to see its applications. However, it is a good way to detach myself from that familiar place to have a good mental rest which helps to keep me healthy and refresh myself!

Three more weeks to the holidays and I can't wait for my trip! Oh, and I am looking forward to purchase a new camera this weekend. I feel kind of "lost" without a camera. Hee... this proves that I am a SUPER fan of snapping.

3 days past. Yipee~ 1 more day to go!!! I just can't wait for it to be over. Imagine seeing numbers and flipping pages over and over again. It is just plain boring and brainless. I think that is why I don't choose routine activities in my career. Hehe... but still it is there lah. :p

Well, I was quite early today. So, I decided to stop by the park to eat my breakfast. As I was sitting and eating my breakfast, I saw various groups of people carrying out different activities in the park. It somehow gave a relaxing feeling to me. I felt light-hearted seeing people playing badminton, strolling, practising taichi, jogging and chit-chatting in the park. It somehow reminded me that time is not only spent on work but there is a lot of need to put importance on life too! Like spending time with family and friends.

Just two photos to remind me of the beautiful feeling this morning. Oops... just ignore my finger there. lol.

Stepped into the first school that I have taught at the start of my career. The feeling is beyond description. It's a familiar yet foreign feeling. Seeing the staff there, the staff room, the meeting room, the general office and even the lockers brought back fond memories of my teaching life there. There were minor and major changes in that school. There was a new outdoor court and the corridors look a little different. Thinking back, I think the children that I have taught that time had already graduated from primary school. Wow! That's scary cos it tells that four years pass really fast and the children are in secondary school now.

Kind of disappointed too cos the duty I was assigned was just a reserve. Sobs... did not get to experience the conducting of listening comprehension. It's a waste that I did not have the chance to.

On a lighter note, it's the long weekend! Let's see what I can do. Hmm...realise that I have not been taking much photo these few weeks. My blog kind of need more pictures. Hehe...

I am so damn stress over the results!!! I just want a break-free from all these answering and questioning, if any. All I ask for now is my own private space in the mind, nothing to worry about. But... this is not possible at all. I want to escape to a place where I can have all that. Where is that place?

This whole week is a terrible week, the worse week ever...

This post is just very random, just wish to jot down certain memories that some songs can bring to me. Purely, to remind me of those precious moments in my life.

The very first spark in my life brought about by RQ. A list of songs that brings back memories of the times back then.

Zhou Hua Jian

The song that reminds me of long phone calls to chit-chat about anything under the sun during my secondary school days. The song that was dedicated to me over the phone. Hee... this gave me a huge surprise and I was happy for a week.

cheng jing ai ni yong yuan ai ni - sky wu

The song that brings memories of a person who have done a lot for me. Somhow, there are regrets that can only be left as it is.

Songs with happy memories

Went back to NIE today for a supposed feedback session, but they ended up telling us that the feedback will be done online when we receive our results. Haha... so it's kind of a wasted trip, but not quite cos received this nice gift, thumbdrive.

And most important of all is to get to meet up with friends, our last little outing together, and walking in NIE. It's kind of sad that we will be parting and going separate ways in our lives and that the 4 years in NIE just ended so quickly. Hope that we will keep in touch with each other.

This last day in NIE was in fact quite meaningful. The walk through the different parts of NIE that I will definitely miss gives a different feeling from normal times.

The largest Lecture Theatre in NIE, LT1. There are different stories to tell. First, this is the first place that I went to when I first got into NIE. We were briefed on the expectations and the course. Second, I got a scare that assignments will be due two weeks after school term start. Haha... this turn out that I was in the wrong class as I was early for the briefing. And this is where I got to know xin. Interesting hor. Hee... Thirdly, this is the LT that I attended most of the lectures when we have a big group. I can still remember having grammar classes in this room. Lastly, this LT brought the study life in NIE to an ending where we were asked to give feedback on the courses that we took in NIE. Round and round, this LT plays quite a part of my life in NIE.

The long flight of stairs that I need to climb when I alight at the canteen bus-stop. 107 steps (as counted by friends). A good workout before lessons? Hee...

Looks like a photo shoot for CD Album?

The central path that we can cut through to get to the other side of the NIE. Buzzing quickly through this area to get to classes.

The tree which bears fruit that we only realised towards the end of our 4 years in NIE.
