An eventful week
A Really Eventful WeekThis week has got to be my most eventful week in school, ever since the June hols started.Here's a brief run down of what I did :)
MondayAccompany a class to East Coast Park for their class outing
TuesdayAccompany the same class to NUS Anatomy Museum for a a tour of that museum. This museum is not even opened to NUS students during ordinary school term so I'm actually very grateful for the experience. But some of the exhibits were actually quite disturbing...
WednesdayStaff induction + helping our principal to type out the template for home-based learning
ThursdayStaff Meeting + seeing how teachers had to call every student one by one to inform that some details pertaining to the H1N1 issue.
FridayShifting my things from the upper staffroom to the drama room, where I totally freaked out because there were 2 lizards in the room, one big and one small, but both black in colour!!yucks!!!I hate lizards!!!
School's starting next week and I got my timetable for the term, going to be observing geog and social studies classes. My supervisor also informed me that I will be taking a sec 2 class social studies, and so now I'm busy racking my brains to come up with the lesson plan. Need to start thinking like a young teenager man...although this is not to say that I'm that old ok!!!not that old until you can call me auntie at least!!!hahahaha
alrite...back to putting my thinking cap on again! =)

paycheck
My First Proper PaycheckFinally got my first proper paycheck, considering that the brief stunt at the media production house after JC did not count because I only got $300/400 a month which barely even covered my transport expenses. As part of the tradition, I drew out part of my pay to give to Daddy, Mummy, Kooma and Ah Ma...but...I'll never ever get the chance to give this money to Ah Gong anymore...If Only...
It's strange isn't it? We humans always like to use these words-"If Only". If Only I had done this, If only I had been more filial, If only this, If only that. When are we ever going to register in our head that there's no such thing as IF ONLY? There is no way that we can ever turn back time to fulfill these if only(s). Many of us, including myself, learn it the hard way, where we can no longer turn back time, where what's left are regrets and more regrets...
My dear friends,please get this in your head, in life, there are no "If Only(s)", so please do whatever you wish to do and can do today, and not wait till tomorrow, for you are never certain whether there is going to be a tomorrow.
p.s. I'm not being pessimistic, because I'm quite an optimistic person, but all these advice are just part of being practical.

Full Stop
Putting a Full Stop at the end of the SentenceWe cremated Ah Gong yesterday at Mandai, and this sort of marks the end of my grandfather's life. It's funny how part of me actually wished that yesterday never had to come, because that would be the last time I will ever get to look at my grandfather "physically". I think this is why the dating system was all haywire in my brain. Yes I know that the body is just a temporary shell and that I should be rejoiceing as he has gone on to join our Father in Heaven, but it's easier said than done. Everytime when one of my friend's loved one passes away, I will always tell that person that it's ok, you don't have to be sad, coz your loved one has gone to heaven and that God will provide for us. While I'm not saying that I don't believe in this, because I really do, but the don't need to be sad part is more difficult to achieve. As the Lord has taught us: "Love One Another As I Have Loved You" and so when you have put so much time and effort into loving someone, naturally, you will be upset and unwilling to let the person go. This is the reason why I didn't want to take a photo of Ah Gong at the wake or upload the photos of the wreaths into my computer, it's not because I'm scared or am morbid, as what my brother keeps saying, but because it's still too painful to look.
But well, as the saying goes, "Time will heal all wounds", I'm sure I'll get past this "sad phase" and move on to the phase where I only feel happiness everytime I recall all the fond memories of how Ah Gong has contributed to my life.
In a way, these 3 days sort of brought our immediate family together, as we gathered to send my grandfather off on his final journey. I guess this is something to be thankful for and maybe Ah Gong will be happy seeing us altogether like this, as he always loved getting everyone together like this to celebrate an occasion. This time round, we are gathered to celebrate his' entrance into Heaven.
Ah Gong, hope you are enjoying yourself in Heaven. I hope to see you there in future. =)

To Ah Gong
A Post Dedicated to my Ah Gong, my grandfather.Dear Ah Gong,
I hope you are on your way to heaven now, where you will no longer feel any pain. I'm not sure how much you suffered before you passed on this morning, but I'm sure it would have been much less than what you would have felt had you had to endure the final stages of your cancer.
Although Daddy and you had your differences, especially when both of you are equally headstrong, I want to tell you that Daddy actually loves you very much. Today was the first time in my life that I saw Daddy cry. Thanks for being such a great ah gong to me. I know I have not been spending much time with you ever since I grew up, but I never ever forgot how you took care of me when I was in kindergarden and in primary 1, how you brought me to K1 and K2 school, tuition classes in pri 1, ballet classes and picked me up at tampines mrt station every day without fail, so that we could take bus 81 back home. I never said this to you, but I am really grateful for those times and I really love you.
When we found you unconscious in the room this morning, it started to rain heavily, as if heaven was weeping. I know I should not feel sad because you have gone on to join our father in heaven, and he will provide for you, but my eyes just well up with tears each time I think of you now.As your room is directly opposite mine, I always have the habit of peeping in everytime i pass by to enter my room, seeing you folding your clothes, lying on the bed etc...now, as I look in, it's just an empty bed frame......But don't worry about us, we will be strong and you will forever remain in my heart as my beloved grandfather who took such good care of me.
Ah Gong,Wo Ai Ni.Ni An Xi Ba.

tian leng jiu hui lai
Tian Leng Jiu Hui Lai...If There're Seasons
Am listening to the soundtrack of this musical on my com now, in fact, I just came back from the musical with Mel, Rong Ma, Amy and believe it or not, NORA!!!haha...luckily there were subtitles at the side of the stage but I think she didn't enjoy it as much as we did bah.hahaha...it was a really good musical, i believe every one who had a singing part in the musical could sing, and some of them were just marvellous, like Shi Xin hui and joanna dong.a real deep musical, i guess there were a lot of "messages" transmitted here and there and though I didn't get all of them, but nonetheless, it was real enjoyable! and it was a nice surprise to see quite a number of familiar faces on stage, people that we actually see before on TV, and they were real great, I especially like the old couple!!!hahaha...their appearance always brought some form of humour...haha..the songs sang were great too, it's amazing how they managed to rearrange some of those old familiar songs and give them a new look.Zhai!! Overall, it was a real great musical! I think i just love watching musicals, after all the effort people put into a production, you can really see it from their product.Well done people!!!
p.s. Just to reply my tags:
To Kai Wei: Dai Kor!!!Are you graduating this sem already??!!!!Does tht mean i won't get to bump into you in school anymore??I Miss you!!!
To Yuting: Don't forget our appointment next friday!
To Davina: You will know what i m doing soon, i will tell you, don't worry!!meanwhile, do take care ok!!are you going to have exams soon?

spent a good amount of time watching star awards yesterday..all i can say is that some of winners rightfully deserve the awards while some others...let's say my reaction was:"huh?how did that happen?"whatever it is, it was a good show nonetheless, and a great break from all the readings that were "killing me softly"...hahaha
Finally saw yanzi's concert advertisment on tv last night, am so excited man!!! I bought my tickets through the fanclub already!!I can so foresee that performance to be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!for those who don't already know, her concert is on the 11th of july and tickets are on sale through sistics already!!hurry go get them ok!!!
