Stanley

i was just walking around compass point, looking for gifts for my kids.. and so, i happened to be in mini toons... guess who i saw? it's Stanley! i taught Stanley when i was in year 2, in my attachment(NTUC)... it's been a long time since i see him because he didnt attend the NTUC year-end grad concert which i went... i taught him since he was in K1 and now, he's going to primary.. yes, time flies...

anyway, i spotted him first... he was walking nearer and nearer to me... i'm not the type that will just call out his name unless i have a reason... haha... instead, his mother was the first to know i was just in front of him... ya.. so, i was just blocking his pathway and he looked up.. he glanced at me and then looked down again... but later, he looked up at me again and called out "Hello Teacher Joey" in a very shy and soft-spoken voice... he's so shy la... then i said "Hi Stanley" and continue searching for my gifts... it's a very funny feeling i was feeling as i kept smiling at myself... that was how delighted i felt... he's like one of the sweetest child in my class and always brighten up my day... ya... so, i kept smiling and i kept hearing my name behind my back somewhere... obviously it's him... hahhaha... it's like "i saw my teacher... i saw teacher Joey..." then, as i was queueing up to pay my gift, i heard "teacher Joey left already?" in chinese.. hahaha... and, before i left the shop, he spotted me and he was like "AH!" and as i looked back, he smiled so shyly, waved at me and said "Byebye"... ohh... that was so sweet...

Darien, Stanley and I

..for the joy of the Lord is my strength..

long time no see

nothing beats a great day with your loved ones . and yesterday was no better than any other days after that day he came over my place. i really miss him. yesterday, friday, i prepared myself to visit my long-time-no-see Sotaro and anthony accompanied me. we supposed to blade there. here's the thing. last week, i planned to visit Sotaro but it rained. so i had to reluctantly canceled it. then again, when we were ready to set off, the sky grew grey, and then dark, and same went my heart, down sinking. nothing i could have done than to pray to my loving Heavenly Father. as we set off rollar blading there, we suddenly were able to see the sky turned blue and i was so grateful. i can tell you, for the past few days it rained, today was not spared. but i faithfully believed that it was through the hands of God that held the rain back. THANK YOU GOD!!! we reached punggol early, so anthony stayed downstairs while i went up sotaro's house to meet him. when i was just outside his house, ...

a special birthday for a special boy!

 the day i anticipated eagerly was finally here. i brought Jos out after awaiting for this opportunity since months ago. just needed time and space to spend with him because we've got so much to talk about, and believe me, you can talk to him like an adult. and since it was his birthday, i took the opportunity to seek permission to take him out for a breather.   i met him early the morning and brought him out for breakfast first. Kopitiam's half-boiled eggs, siew mai and hot breverages.    we then set off the our destination. it was a surprise for him so i didnt reveal our directions or alighting point. he just followed obediently.   and then, before we knew, we found ourselves 15 levels above ground. :) i took him on a journey to see life from a different perspective. and we were looking down from a bird's eye view.   cheese! so many things we can see from the top. it was just a very different experience.   not ...

time please dont fly

as time flies, people grows bigger and older... well, at times, how we wished that we could stop time and admire or appreciate people dearest to you... and as parents, i believe you all feel the same as me too... hoping that the child you are carrying in your arms will always be in your arms and not to grow up... but we cant... and here goes my boy i knew since he was k1 (2004)... i never fail to attend his birthday party he invited every year... i've seen him grow since then... and i meant it... grow, Grow, GROW!!! and today, i saw him with his sister in the library... haha... and as usual, i would cover his eyes from the back and asked "wo shi sei?" which means who am i... and without failing, he would guessed it, let alone today... haha... look at his belly... haha~ =p so, by looking at the next photo, hasnt he grew? that's him in 2004... well? . . . . . . . . haiz... one more week left of school... not that i wont have any more income, you think i care? i know ...
