I SERIOUSLY IN NEED OF ALL THESE. URGENTLY. Starting from the achieveable, to the unachievable.


(insert good phone here)


I didn't go back to zhss. I was overloaded with school and work assignments. Well, I shall return on Children's Day.

I can't wait for this month to end. School and work assignments are affecting my social development. HAHA. My immune system is not coordinating well with my brains. No matter how exhausting this process can be, I'm blessed to be able to embark a fun-filled learning journey with the children. They are the reason why tomorrow is worth waking up for. Already three days of absence from school and this girl told her mom that she missed me a lot. When discussing about occupation, most of them want to be a teacher. It was even more heartwarming when they want to be a teacher like me. I won't be surprised if thirty years down the road, I'm all wrinkle-free. They say working with children can make you appear and feel youthful. (I wish I can upload my class photos here but I need to seek permission from their parents which I rather not.)

I have 3 more major school assignments to go AND next Wednesday's parents-teacher meeting session. I haven't even finish updating their portfolios. Parents are able to notify their children's progress and performance via their portfolios based on worksheets and checklists. I thought art students only have portfolios. What's even more shocking is that the K2s have already learnt addition and subtraction by implementing the working method. When I was your age, I started to learn that in primary one. Seriously, Singaporean children need to slower down their learning pace. Those with high IQs then it's a no problem, they have potential to push the limits of their knowledge.

Okay. I really need to get back to work now.

My current obsession. And they're coming here soon. If you're into indie folk, you gotta check out Elizabeth and the Catapult's music. <3

I feel so blessed for this month of May. (Although the school and work assignments are really, really, beyond overwhelming.) What's going through her mind, I can actually relate. Hawa, my colleague and also my classmate (thankfully), is a lot like myself. And us, being the youngest employers, is definitely a struggle. We all need somebody to lean on after all. Thanks to our colleagues. (; Oh. For our vacation, either we're going to Malaysia or Phuket, Thailand. Phuket FTW. But I rather hang out with my old friends. They're planning to go bowling. =(

Oh yeah. I love this month of May. I've been seeing a lot of familiar faces lately. Before that, I had series of dreams about the secondary school days. I find it strange yet magical. As if I'm a psychic.

We'll be having the Sports' Day event with the kids this Sunday. The next day will be closed due to the event (cool eh). So I'm going back to Zhonghua. I think the dreams I had also meant a calling. A calling for me to revisit the school.



It used to feel like heaven
Used to feel like May
I used to hear those violins playing heart strings like a symphony
Now they've gone away
Nobody wants to face the truth
But you wont believe what love can do
Till it happens to you


Oh yes for sure, I'm coming.
