It's only the first month of 2011 so it's never too late to sum up my best moments in year 2010.

The year 2010 has been a real incredible journey for me. It was my first year to ever step my foot in to the teaching field, which I find surreal actually, because being a preschool teacher was my long term ambition since my childhood days. I loved playing pretend as student/teacher with my cousins whenever they slept over at my place. And so, it came true. Although the zero experience and knowledge on classroom management, curriculum and so on, the one thing I've learnt to overcome all the difficulties is patience. Kids can be a tough nut at times but they're the most genuine people I've ever met. They make good liars and good learners. The children changed me. They really did. Their smiles, laughters, thank yous and compliments made me so comfortable in my own skin. I've never felt appreciated this way before. Other than the kids, I can't remember the last time someone told me how beautiful I am. Never. The children would aways lit my face up. The other day I visited them in their K2 classes. I was getting all emotional. I couldn't believe my eyes they've grown so much. So much taller, so much wiser. I missed having conversations with their parents/guardians. (They're more understanding as compared to this year's.) They even told me how much their child miss me, wishing that I'm able to teach them again. But thanks a lot guys. You all will always be remembered as my first, and by far the BEST batch of students. My sweetest Pearls:

With em' colleagues at Universal Studios Singapore. Fo' FREE so we rockin' till late.



The two-hour Corinne Bailey Rae's mind-blowin' soulful performance.



Celebrating my 19th with the loved ones.



Final moments of 2010 with the ex-classmates.

And the family.

Thank you 2010.
