Facebook

recently i've been quite active in facebook. i like to look at those people whom are filtered by the facebook networking system. these ppl r usually also in my friend's facebook. n thru this, i like to view who r the mutal friends. it's very interesting to see mutual friends from more than 1 interest group, such as workplace & church or previous workplace & church. and sometimes as i play with this feature in facebook, i will click at the wrong button n added someone whom i dun intend to add in facebook. guess this explain y my friend list in FB is growing ... hahaha

The above are just some deadlines that I can name off hand n there shld b more. with P6 Supp classes starting next week, my workload will get heavier! this yr, i have to cover another class for Maths Supp class cos the Maths teacher is a contract staff n she knock off at 1pm. frankly, i dun feel positive abt this though i dun have a choice. guess this's something i can manage ... just focus on the interest of the kids!

as week 4 comes to an end, i'm starting to feel tired (physically) already. was coughing n sneezing yesterday after my well-deserved nap n even popping 2 panadol didnt seen helpful. i thought i wouldnt b able to make it today. Thank God, i was prefectly ok this morning! 

as i was leaning against the wall at the back of the class in the last period, 1 of the student was very sweet. he asked if i'm sleepy (he actually mean tired). of cos i deny lah. heehee ... but i guess if he can observe it, it shld b quite obvious!

i know this race wouldnt be easy but i'm very determine to put priority on work this year for a greater mission.

Thankful

i like my new cell group! enjoy the short moments of worship & sharing time. witnessing the beauty of humility n experiencing the presence of mr J. 

a few r bothering me for a few days n even as i'm thinking, reflecting n wrestling, these things r somehow being taken care of. i cant help but to acknowledge that it MUST be God!!! 

was alone in conference room on thurs afternoon, waiting for someone for a 1-to-1 meeting which i never expect. being kept in suspense isnt a fun experience n worse is being alone in a conference that can hold up to 20 ppl. i cant help but walking around to make myself busy, while entertaining silly thoughts. haha .... this of cos end with a good outcome!

so fast it's going to be CNY ... guess it will b a good time of resting n clearing of sch work. i have assignment due soon ... it's time to jia you again!!! haha

Thankful

i felt that i had just taken a roller coster ride at work yesterday. Ch U crew arrived early morning for the filming. my class was selected for the filming but i was asked to take over another person's class while she's in my class teaching science. the class i was suppose to go had a boy who wasnt very stable recently n will do something really unusual ... something which will fighten all female teachers. 

prior entering the class, i was prepared, told & advised by various ppl until i was so tensed!!! after the familar teacher had intro me n explained the changes, i began the lesson. while i was writing the schedule, he came from behide. i got a SHOCK!!! n quickly execute the consequence system set for him. Thank God, it works!!! 

thru out the 1 hr lesson, i can see that he tried to control himself despite the few attempts he done to his caretaker. n then it's recess time. i had a rush rush recess break n then made to go into a lower pri class which i'm not familar for leisure skills lesson.

although it's leisure skills lesson, it wasnt a leisure time for me!!! cos there's a runner in this class. i saw his teachers running after him for a few times this week! after 1 hr of LS, i finally can go back to my timetable n 1 hr of 1-to-1 teaching will give me some time to catch some breathe & tune back!

the last 2 periods is in a P6 class which i'm least familar with. the class is very high the moment i step in n start talking silly things n getting a bit out of the way. so have to execute consequence system again which trigger 1 of the boy. he refused to pack up for dismissal. i know he want to start his drama again!!! have heard too much abt him last yr.

the boy still refused to pack up n start hiding behide the smart board. i was very naughty lah ... left him in the class with the teacher n assume that he will have his ways to make the boy to pack up n go to hall ... so i made the class to Q up n move them down to the hall. 

in the end the boy came down n then start a mini drama in the hall ... this's how i end my week 2 n even now i can still feel the tension in me. it's really not easy to enter 4 classes of totally diff profile within a day. 

in the midst of all these, i'm thankful for those moments of assurance & security. i dun know if this's from God ... but i promise to remove whatever that's not of Him or not from Him. Help me, my Lord!!!

HC10

HC10 is my new cell code. cool huh !!! we kick off 2009 with the 1st cell last fri. while i was contemplating whether to go or to skip, i finally reach the extreme end of HG n so glad that i attend. 

i quite like my new cell cos it has a well-mix of ppl from diff walk of life n the interesting part is each has certain degree of involvement in children work. it's a good start esp after hearing everyone's expectation of the cell for this yr. i believe there will be progress n excitement.

something has been bugging me since the last week of dec08. this's also in view of resolution for 2009. actually this's not a new issue ... just that i didnt think deep enough abt it. now it's seriously bothering me n i FINALLY make up my mind. i guess some ppl will be shock ... ... ...

even as i refrain from using these words (cos the last time someone say it to me, it affected me badly that my heart still hurt now), i cant think of alternatives ... there's a season for everything. when the season is over, everything will eventually have to end.

"Lucky didnt make a fuss about anything and just quietly sat on his pillow often staring into space. We didnt know if Lucky was in pain but we knew he wasnt happy."

Abstract from  http:/www.davidtao.com/diary/diary_list.php  1 dec 2008 entry

my tears rolled from both eyes unknowingly after reading this line. i love spanny but i dun think i can ever grant her as much dignity as this man gave to his dog, Lucky.  he wrote a long entry at his site n i abstracted a portion of it ... not cos the above is the best. instead i want you to read the original entry at his site.

i want to thank God for this man! though he is incomparable to You, i still want to thank You for creating him and giving him those talents to touch my life, as well as many others out there. what a way to start yr 2009 ... n even as i'm less active to follow-up with his updates since jul 07, he never fail to touch & inspire me thru the small little things he does or say. tell me how to not love this man who is so real n serious???

Happy New Year!!!

last nite service was quite enjoyable ... very diff from last yr. good to see that ppl in church r putting in effort, despite the comments. n i tell u hor ... no matter what u do or how well u've done, there will always be comments. sometimes i think ... y dun these ppl stand out n volunteer themselves, rather than hiding at a corner n whispering softly ... like a mouse lor!!! 

Oh well ... dun mean to start the yr by scolding ppl. moreover, i dun think i'm scolding lor ... there's no need for me to scold ppl at my blog cos these ppl will not read my blog 1 lah ... hohoho ...

back to last nite service ... some of the performance were rather entertaining. in the midst of enjoying myself, i got refirmation of a potiential YEP leader who i've eye on since i offer to volunteer. guess this person will add value to the team n future YEP projects.

n 1 thing i want to thank God is His enlightenment for 2009 resolution ... there're 3.

oh oh oh oh ... i did something malu ... was too excited throwing the balloons backward n hit a uncle's spec n he's not any ordinary uncle ... so funny lor!!! hahaha
