st anne feast day 2007

St Anne's church had their Feast Day this morning... i regretted not taking much photos because i was really busy... helping to carry stuff down, prepare food, selling, promoting and even taking care of some kids... it's really great to see some of my ex-students... glad that they still remember me... unfortunately, i didnt get to see all of the ex-students i was expecting to... most are from the kindergarten itself... anyway, i took my sunshine Sotaro out for a walk after he had his food... we were playing bubbles... see the crowd? hahaaha.. my cutie boy... okay, apart from this, i just want to add... a wound in your heart will always be a wound there... a scar will be left behind... it cannot be removed, it cannot be healed... it can be hidden but it will always be painful... it can be forgotten but not forever... you can choose not to look at it, you can choose to hide it, but the fact is, a scar will always be a scar... "Dear Father in heaven, only you can heal it... A

k1 outing

Yesterday, the K1s in St anne went outing... "outing" sounds far though, but destination was Compass Point... no transport, all children and teachers walked there... took about 10mins walk from the school... pizza hut was our first stop... before we eat, children were allowed to visit the kitchen and how pizza were made... since the kitchen is small, only a portion of children could enter... i took some of them and when in... the freezer... how cheesy bites are made... demo of making mini pizza... now, it's the kid's turn!! spreading the sauce... then the cheese, and the ham... after all the kids had gone into the kitchen, it's time to EAT!!! kids had this... a plate of two wings, five fried potatos and a slice of hawaiian pizza... yummy yummy~! taking some photos in pizza hut... after all the yummy food and kitchen visiting, we headed to the neighbourhood police centre... explaining all the bad and good stuff... err... not all of them are that attentive.. haha

it's about 10am, I was dressed and ready to go out when it rained cats and dogs... then i received a call saying that it's not necessary to meet... yes, i was supposed to meet Jorell and Jordyn to go North Spring for the open house... i was kind off disappointed... and i was actually dressed for my friend's wedding ceremony at about 1.30pm... so, what am i supposed to do from now? Thank you God, the rain stopped... amazingly, it stopped... but how? God's work... =D i met the kids at about 11am... they brought me around the school, showed me their classrooms and walked around the compound... at a point of time, i saw someone... he was standing in front of me and it just caught my eye... i was puzzled, i was shocked... in the mean time, i wondered, was he the kid i taught 2 years ago in st anne's? he looked different.. of cuz, for two years already... i kept looking at him, my heart started to POUND faster and faster... his name appeared on my mind... r..e..n..f..r.

racial harmony day!!

HAPPY RACIAL HARMONY DAY!!! look... it's only 2pm... i had one of the busiest morning... it all started when i was asked to help in my friend's kindergarten today... woke up at about 5.45am and my father fetched me to my destination... this is what i wore... i bought this the last time i went thailand... it looks $40++ but when i convert into sing dollar, it's only $7... hahaha... here are some of the photos i took from the kindergarten... this is the class i helped look after... he look so cute and funny... got story when i first met him... i wanted to help him take his food and when i took the plastic bag with food, he looked at me like i wanted to steal them... hahaa... so adorable... of course, after that, i took a cab and rushed down to st anne's kindergarten to see all my darlings... hahaha... they all look so good in their costume... yet many of them wore the exact same costume as what they wore last year... hahahaa... Sotaro!! my jap baby... he's my sunshine

rising above trials through actions

for the past 2 nights, i wasnt able to listen to the radio as i was away... i really regretted but here's a little brief idea of what it says... it talks about rising above trials in your life through ATTITUDE... having the right attitude when facing trials... have attitude of joy and attitude of perseverance... today, topic is... Rising above Trials in Your Life through ACTIONS James 1:19-20 19 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. there are right behaviour when you face trials where you do not cause any trouble and there are behaviour where people may and will be offended... 3 actions that you should be doing: a) Quick to listen b) Slow to speak c) Slow to anger a) Quick to listen proverbs 18:13 tells us "He who answers before listening that is his folly and his shame." that's probably why we have 2 ears and 1 m

rise above trials

recently, i've been listening to radio station 107FM every weekday night... at about 10.30pm, a short sharing will be broadcast by Trinity Christian Church pastors... it's really good and not very "heavy" or informative... (from here onwards, it's not from me but from what i hear...) today, the sharing topic is: Raising Above the Trials of Your Life in the book of James 1:2-4, it read Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. notice that the bible did not mention "...if you face trials..." but "...whenever you face trials..." it proves that no one escape from trials. and face means fall into... moreover, trials come unexpectedly. 2 winning mindset: 1) understand your faith can grow when you face trials in any trials you face, faith is tested. 2) c

imitators

as i was going through some photos in my com, i realized something... as a teacher, i know that children are best at imitating... well, even us are so caught up with imitation, let alone them... hahaha... as you can see......... hahaaha... are you an imitator?

change of enlistment date

dearest people, as you all know, in one of my entries, i stated about my enlistment and all the details... by default, it should be today that i'm going in... and if you are wondering why i still can post this entry...... okay, i actually hurt my shoulder badly during one soccer game and i went to see a doctor... it was the second time on the same shoulder, considered "old injury"... so, i was appointed to have a "date" with tan tock seng in sept... well, that delayed my enlisting... so, thanks a lot for those who wished me luck and gave me their blessings... really appreciated... but it was forgetful Joey that didnt keep you all updated... further notice will be posted again and my enlistment would probably be in sept now... so, thanks... Love, Joey

dead, now alive!!

sorry, for the past few days, i was miserably heartbroken by the fact that my laptop, my only personal access to the internet DIED on me... that was what i expected many months ago and finally, it went after it's last breath a week ago... i was lonely, i was depressed as all my stuff such as the precious photos, addresses, projects and many many things was in the laptop's memory... it was then that i decided to give up on it... i thought of salvaging it... so i took it to my school's info-tech place and asked if they were able to perform a miracle to resurrect my laptop... it was cost me about $1000+++, said the man... i was filled with empathy, knowing that i wasnt able to afford it... all i can think of was life without my laptop and all my precious photos... aww... then, the man was kind enough to think of some ideas to salvage my laptop... it was really kind of him even though i was no longer a member of the school... well, it was really the grace of God that this lapto
