recently bought alot of stuffs for my ger. bought a bumper playmat, very nice material. i can sleep on it also.bought a hand squeezer, can produce sound when squeeze, a baby carrier which i will be trying out tomolo for my 1st outing with baby only. I will see if i can bring baby from jurong to yishun without external help...haha....hopefully she wun cry on the way there.
last sunday my hubby and me bring ger ger to suntec to walk walk.......to try out the pram.
I still dun know how to get the pram up the stairs with the baby inside...seems very challenging.now i only push the pram on smooth surface.......always take lift, and if got stairs, will make a detour.
dun know how other people manage to get the pram up everywhere.
my ger is now trying out formula milk......she dun seems to like it. i think formula milk really got no taste. dun know which brand she will like better.
my ger is scare of my yishun house, maybe becoz she seldom go back. i had a hard time getting her to sleep last saturday. she scream and cry and keep staring at the lights, we took hours to pacify her and she manage to sleep at 5am.
I think she is not expose to alot of things, so every new thing she also scare. we have decide to bring her out to see things everyday. and maybe certain weekday bring her back to yishun. if not next time she dun want to come back home.
next year i will be teaching a new course "chinese literature", open for sec 3 and 4 students only. seems interesting.
will be teaching 1n2, 2e1,3e4,3t1,4t1 and the sec 3 chinese lit class. One very good point about this school is that their chinese class is very small. average only 15 students per class. my 4T has only 11 students. the biggest class is about 26.
btw today i bring my ger out on pram to nearby jogging track walk walk. Then guess who i saw? Mr Gopal! how come the world is so small. i din even see him when he jog pass. Seems that his eye sight is better than mine. he ask whose baby is that.....maybe i should say the baby is my baby sister..haha

little monster
my gal is now 2 months old. She looks very sweet and gentle, but is a little monster in reality. She scream and yell when during feeding time, pooing time, before sleeping. when you are a bit slow, she will scream the whole house down. She just cannot wait, too hot tempered and quick tempered. I guess inherited from both my hubby and me.
When she is in a good mood, she will smile, like an angel. But she turn monster in a very short time. When you look at her pictures, dun be deceive by her appearance:)

fathers are great too!
We have always read stories about great mothers. Even mother's day are more well remembered and celebrated than father's day.
Other than zhu1 zi4 qing1 famous work "bei4 ying3", there are not alot of good essays on fathers.
The below 2 stories about fathers are very touching........if you have time, do read:)
奇迹的名字 叶倾城
（一）
1948年，一艘横渡大西洋的船上，有一位父亲带着他的小女儿，去和在美国的妻子会合。
海上风平浪静，晨昏瑰丽的云霓交替出现。一天早上，男人正在舱里削苹果，船却突然剧烈地摇晃，刀子滑落在他的衣服上。男人跌坐在地上，全身都在颤抖，嘴唇瞬间乌白。
6岁的女儿被父亲瞬间的变化吓坏了，尖叫着扑过来想要扶他，他却微笑着推开女儿的手：“没事，只是摔了一跤。”然后轻轻地拾起刀子，很慢很慢地爬起来，不引人注意地，用大拇指揩去了刀锋上的血迹。
以后3天，男人照常每晚为女儿唱摇篮曲，清晨替她系好美丽的蝴蝶结，带她去看蔚蓝的大海。仿佛一切如常，而小女儿尚不能注意到父亲每一分钟都比上一分钟更衰弱苍白，他投向海平线的眼光又是那样的忧伤。
抵达目的地的前夜，男人来到女儿身边，对女儿说：“明天见到妈妈的时候，请告诉妈妈，我爱她。”
女儿不解地问：“可是你明天就要见到她了，你为什么不自己告诉她呢？”
他笑了，俯身，在女儿额上深深刻下一个吻。
船到纽约港了，女儿一眼便在熙熙攘攘的人群里认出母亲，她大喊一声：“妈妈……”周围忽然一片惊呼，她一回头，她的父亲已经仰面倒下，胸口血如井喷，刹那间染红了整片天空……
尸解的结果让所有人惊呆了：那把刀无比精确地洞穿了他的心脏，他却多活了3天，而且不被任何人知觉。唯一可能的解释是因为创口太小，使得被切断的心肌依原样贴在一起，维持了3天的供血。
这是医学史上不可多得的奇迹。医学会议上，有人说要称它为大西洋奇迹，有人建议以死者的名字命名，还有人说要叫它神迹……
“够了。”那是一位坐在首席的老医生，须发俱白，皱纹里满是人生的智慧，此刻一声大喝，然后一字一顿地说，这个奇迹的名字，叫做父亲。
（二）
几年前，武汉发生了一起火车和汽车相撞的事故。
一辆早班的公共汽车搁浅在一个无人看守的道口，驾驶员下车找水去了。是农历正月，天寒地冻，十几名乘客都舒舒服服地呆在还算暖和的车厢里，谁也没有想到大祸的降临。
没人留意到火车是几时来的，从远远的岔道。只能说，是呵气成霜的车窗玻璃模糊了众人的视线，而马达的轰鸣和紧闭的门窗又隔绝了汽笛的鸣响。当发觉的时候，顷刻间，一切已经停止了。
一切停止了，却突然间爆发出孩子的哭声。
那是一个大概两三岁的小孩子，就躺在路旁边一点点远的地方，穿着整洁的红棉袄，小孩一手揉着惺忪的眼睛，还不知发生了什么事。只一味哭叫：“爸爸，爸爸……”
有旁观者说，在最后的刹那，有一双手伸出窗外，把孩子抛了出来……
他的父亲，后来找到了。他的座位正对着火车那一面，几乎是第一个被撞上的人，他的身体上所有的骨头都被撞断了，他的头颅被挤扁了，他满是血污与脑浆的衣服看不出颜色与质地……是怎么认出他的呢？
因为他的双手，仍对着窗外，做着抛丢的姿势。
好几年前的事了，早没人记得他的名字，只是，在经过这个道口的时候，还会有人指指点点：“曾经，有一个父亲……”

<<爱的另一种方式>> 王涛
一个可爱的孩子走了，他是溺水走的。他出门的时候，对母亲说要到同学家复习功课。谁知他出门后，就永远没有回来。
那天，他和同学做完了功课，没有回家吃饭，而是在河边玩耍，却不知为何掉入了河中。等到有人发现，他们已在静静的河里躺了很久了。一切都晚了，孩子打捞上来，发现他紧紧地抓着同学的手，他的父亲用了很大的劲也无法将他们分开。
记者来了，注意到了这个细节，判定孩子是为救同学才死的，因为他拉着同学的手。这是一件十分感人的事。报纸第二天就刊出这则新闻。在很短的时间内，全县的人都知道了这个可敬的小男孩的名字。不久，学校授予他“优秀少先队员”的称号。许多人自发地到男孩的家中慰问，送去了他们的心意。还有那位同学的父母，更是在男孩的父母面前痛苦，他们说自己的孩子对不起这男孩，更对不起他的父母。同样是父母，他们除了承受丧子之痛，还要承受良心上的不安。
这对男孩的父母是一种安慰。但是，他们却时刻在怀疑，他们认为孩子不会去救人，因为孩子从小就很怕水，也不会游泳。他不会冒险跳入河中救同学。他们想知道孩子是如何死的。
带着疑问，他们找到了一位目击妇女，妇女回忆说，那天她在摘桑叶，看到两个孩子在采桑椹，河边有一株野桑上结满了果实，我看到一个孩子把身子伸向河中，另一个孩子用手拉着他。过了一会儿，她发现两个孩子不见了，她以为他们离去了。
男孩的父母在河边找到了那株桑树，果然桑树上结满了果实，在树干上，有一个十分明显的断枝痕迹。
男孩的父母什么都明白了：他们的孩子并没有在水中救同学，而是一起掉下去的。
他们先到男孩同学家里，向他的父母说明真相。然后又到报社说他们的报道错了。这种做法受到了各种阻力，包括他们的亲属。
但是，他们固执地一次又一次往报社和学校跑，请求公布孩子溺水的真相。他们说，他们不想让孩子在九泉之下有愧。
他们的努力终于实现了，他们用自己的方式，用一颗晶莹剔透的心灵告诉我们怎样去爱孩子，即使他们永远不再回来。
<<美丽的歧视>> 胡子宏
高考落榜，对于一个正值青春花季的年轻人，无疑是一个打击。八年前，我的同学大伟就处于这种境地。而我则考上京城的一所大学。
当我进入大学三年级时，有一天大伟忽然在校园里找到了我，原来，他也是北京某名牌大学的一员了。
“祝贺你……”我说。
“是该祝贺。你知道吗？两年前我一直认为自己完了，没什么出息了，可父母对我抱有很大希望，我被迫去复读。你知道‘被迫’是一种什么滋味吗？在复读班，我的成绩是倒数第五……”
“可你现在……”我迷惑了。
“你接着听我说。有一次那个教英语的张老师让我在课堂上背单词。那会儿我正读一本武侠小说。张老师很生气，说：‘大伟，你真是没出息，你不仅糟蹋父母的钱还耗费自己的青春。如果你能考上大学，全世界就没有文盲了。’我当时仿佛要炸开了，我马上跳离座位，跨到讲台上指着老师说：‘你不要瞧不起人，我此生必定要考上大学。’说着我把那本武侠小说撕得粉碎。你知道，第一次高考我分数差了100多分，可第二年我差17分，今年高考，我竟超了80多分……我真想找到张老师，告诉他：我不是孬种……”
三年后，我回到我高中的母校，班主任告诉我：教英语的张老师得了骨癌。我去看他，他兴致很高，其间，我忍不住提起了大伟的事……
张老师突然老泪横流。过了一会儿，他让老伴取来了一幅照片，照片上，一位书生正在巴黎的埃菲尔铁塔下微笑。
张老师说：“18年前，他是我教的那个班里最聪明也是最不用功的学生。有一次，我在课堂上讲，像你这样的学生，如果能考上大学，我头朝地向下转三圈。”
“后来呢？”我问。
“后来同大伟一样。”张老师言语哽咽着说，“对有的学生，一般的鼓励是没有用的，关键是要用锋利的刀子去做他们的心灵手术……你相信吗？很多时候，别人的歧视能使我们激发出心底最坚强的力量。”
两个月后，张老师离开了人世。又过了4年，我出差至京，意外地在大街上遇到大伟，读博士的他正携着女友悠闲地购物。我给大伟讲了张老师的那席话。
在熙熙攘攘的人群中，大伟突然泪流满面。
在那以后的时光里，我一直回味着大伟所遭遇的满含爱意却又非常残酷的“歧视”。我感到，那“歧视”蕴含着一种催人奋进的力量。对大伟和那位埃菲尔铁塔下留影的学生而言，在他们的人生征途中，张老师的“歧视”肯定是最宝贵最美丽的。
<<母亲的目光>> 小乔
做了母亲之后，十分喜欢看着儿子睡觉。他泥鳅一样光滑的背，黝黑健康
的胳膊，饱满茁壮的腿，眉宇间不可言说的可爱深情……看着看着，我常常觉得，单是为了这么一看，女人就不能错过做母亲的机会。
忽然又想，自己这么小的时候，一定也是这么在母亲的目光里熟睡的吧？
然而快乐的童年又是懵懂的，在这种目光里我一次也没有被看醒，所以也不曾记得。对这种目光开始有感受是在渐渐长大之后，那一年我大约十三四岁，正是女孩子刚刚有心事的时候。
一天，我正在房间午睡，还没睡稳，听到母亲走进来，摸摸索索的，似乎
在找什么东西，过了一会儿，忽然静了。可她分明没有出去。我们两个的呼吸声交替着，如树叶的微叹，我莫名地紧张起来，十分不自在。等了一会儿，还没有听到她的声响，便睁开眼。我看见，母亲站在离床一步远的地方，正默默地看着我。
“妈，怎么了？”我很纳闷。
“不怎么。”她说。似乎有些慌乱地怔了怔，走开了。
后来，这种情形又重复了一次。我就有些不耐烦地说：“妈，你老是这么
看我干吗？”母亲仿佛犯了错似的，一句话也没有说。
以后，她再也没有这么看过我，或者说，是她再也没有让我发现她这么看
着我了。而到我终于有些懂得她这种目光的时候，她已经病逝了。再也不会有人这么看着我了。我知道，这是天空对白云的目光，这是礁石对海浪的目光，这是河床对小鱼的目光。这种目光，只属于母亲。
孩子在我的目光里，笑出声来。我的目光给他带来美梦了吗？我忽然想，
如果能够再次拥有母亲的这种目光，我该怎么做？是用笑的甜美来抚慰她的疲惫和劳累？是用泪的晶莹来诠释自己的呼应和感怀？还是始终维持着单纯的睡颜，去成全她欣赏孩子和享受孩子的心情？
有些错误，生活从来都不再赐予改过的机会。我知道，这种假设对我而
言，只是想像的盛宴而已。但是我想，是不是还有一些人也许需要这种假设的提醒呢？如果你有幸还拥有母亲，如果你浅眠时的双睑偶然被母亲温暖的目光所包裹，那么，千万不要像我当年一样无知和愚蠢。请你安然假寐，一定不要打扰母亲。
你会知道，这种小小的成全，对你和母亲而言，都是一种深深的幸福。

<<人生一课>> 蔡良
一次，我为培训中心代课，只来了四个学生，我认认真真地上了两个半小时。回家时天黑路滑，跌了一身泥。事后，有个朋友好心地劝我：干吗要这样认真，出两个思考题糊弄一下不就行了？我说：“我不能辜负那四位顶着风雨来上课的学生。”他似乎很不理解。其实，我还有段心事没直说出来。
在我上大学二年级的时候，一个周末下午，有堂选修辅导课。教师是从另一所大学请来的。当时开学不久，再加上是周末，学校组织了好几个活动，班里的同学都忙得不亦乐乎，谁也没心思去上什么课了。我正准备参加一场年级足球赛，成天忙着在球场上训练，当然也不准备去听课，尤其是这种辅导课。
跑到球场，才发现没带足球鞋，只好又转身回教室。当我一头冲进教室，脚步却不由自主地停住了：教室里空空荡荡，只有一位埋头擦汗的白发老人坐在前排。我不觉一愣，才想起今天下午有课。不知为什么，心里有些紧张，便把脚步放轻放慢向座位走去。
“来上课的？”一个沉着的声音在教室前排响起。我感到有一种深邃的目光在望着自己。我没敢吭声，坐在座位上套好足球鞋。就在我刚想站起来的时候，他突然转过身来，一字一句地对我说：“一个人我这课也要上，不能辜负你。”
这句话就如同一枚钉子，把我钉在凳子上。他走上讲台，背影有些苍老，但脚步却很坚定。我看见他打开厚厚的一叠教案，然后转身，一丝不苟地写下一行板书。他的声音依然沉着，而且洪亮，空空荡荡的教室里响起一种震撼人心的回声。我悄悄地把那双足球鞋脱了，又悄悄地拿出课本，仔细地放好，用一种近乎虔诚的心情去捕捉老师的每一句话，每一个动作……
后来有很多球场上的同学都回来了，和我一样，端坐在课桌前，听这位白发的老人给我们上课。事后我才知道，他们在操场上等我，老不见人，便来找我，却在窗外看到教室里的情景。他们你看看我，我看看你，都从后门悄悄溜进了课室。这堂课时间过得真快，我真希望时间能过得慢点，好让更多的同学来听他的课，好像只有这样才不辜负他的一片心。下课了，他拍拍身上的粉笔灰，向我点了点头，夹起讲义走出教室，望着他的白发和微驼的背，我的眼睛有点湿。以后，我没有遇到这位教师，可他说的那句话却深深地铭记在我的心里。真的，不论遇到什么困难和挫折，我们都不应该辜负别人的信任和尊重，也许只有这样，真诚地对待生活，回首往事时，我们才不会有什么愧疚和遗憾。
<<20岁，我哭了>> 周晴
小时候，日子是坎坷的，家里很少有一种快乐的气氛。但每次我过生日那天，家里总是愉快的，妈妈会烧那么多好吃的菜，并且也会买几件礼物，我便俨然是个骄傲的小公主。那时常想，看看我的生日，真有一种能使大家愉快的神奇魔力！
每年，我都盼望生日。每年，都在欢乐中度过生日。终于，我20岁了。
“20岁是个大生日。”同学们对我说，爸爸妈妈也这么说。我参加过好几个同学的20岁生日宴会。或许是家里的房子都不大，也或许有长辈在旁边，宴会总让人有几分别扭。爸爸妈妈如不参加，同龄人有的是自己的快乐。
一个狂欢的夜晚，常常让我们一下子感觉到自己长大了。我的生日也要这样过，我想。可是，我有些为难了。
母亲早几天就在张罗着问我爱吃什么？父亲还问我喜欢什么礼物。我怎么开口呢？
时间不等人，同学是早就约好了。如果爸爸妈妈请来外婆一家，就麻烦了。我嗫嗫嚅嚅地开了口：“我想请同学来热闹一天，你们那天先不参加，过几天家里再过，好吗？”
我看到他们都不吭声了，脸色也不大好看。我差不多要哭了，亲爱的爸爸妈妈，你们能理解女儿吗？她也是大人了，也有自己微不足道的社交和由此产生的欢乐，而这一切，我怎么说得清楚呢？
僵了好一会儿，爸爸叹口气说：“好吧！我们出去躲一个晚上。”
生日那一天，妈妈还是为我买了许多荤素小菜，但大家都有些沉默，我有些不知所措，不久，爸爸妈妈带着弟弟出去了。
我一个人，忙得不亦乐乎。菜摆满了一桌子，够丰盛的。我欣赏着自己的杰作，得意中常常掠过几丝不安，剪不断，理还乱，拂去又来。直到同学们来了以后，这几丝不安才冰消雪融。
欢笑一下子充满了整个房间，相册、娃娃、围巾……堆了一桌子，我们吵啊、闹啊，笑声夹着歌声一次又一次地爆发。当20只蜡烛点燃的时候，我发现自己在这一个晚上，拥有了太多的快乐。
10点，爸爸妈妈回来了，我笑着请他们吃蛋糕，他们也似是高兴地与同学打招呼，吃了蛋糕，回自己房间去了。我送走同学回来时，他们已关灯睡觉了。以后几天，爸妈变得沉默寡言了，我也很难解释。
不久的一个下午，朱叔叔突然夫妻来访。一进门，就对爸爸说：“今天要躲儿子生日，来你家混顿晚饭，你招待不招待？”他爱人俞阿姨也忍不住说：“十月怀胎，一把尿一把屎的，好容易盼到他20岁，想同他欢欢喜喜过个生日也不成。他要请同学，不要老头子、老太婆了，想想真伤心啊！”说着眼泪真的下来了。
大家都愣住了，妈妈跟着长叹一声，爸爸朝我眯眼睛。我鼻子一酸，哭了。
一次，我为培训中心代课，只来了四个学生，我认认真真地上了两个半小时。回家时天黑路滑，跌了一身泥。事后，有个朋友好心地劝我：干吗要这样认真，出两个思考题糊弄一下不就行了？我说：“我不能辜负那四位顶着风雨来上课的学生。”他似乎很不理解。其实，我还有段心事没直说出来。
在我上大学二年级的时候，一个周末下午，有堂选修辅导课。教师是从另一所大学请来的。当时开学不久，再加上是周末，学校组织了好几个活动，班里的同学都忙得不亦乐乎，谁也没心思去上什么课了。我正准备参加一场年级足球赛，成天忙着在球场上训练，当然也不准备去听课，尤其是这种辅导课。
跑到球场，才发现没带足球鞋，只好又转身回教室。当我一头冲进教室，脚步却不由自主地停住了：教室里空空荡荡，只有一位埋头擦汗的白发老人坐在前排。我不觉一愣，才想起今天下午有课。不知为什么，心里有些紧张，便把脚步放轻放慢向座位走去。
“来上课的？”一个沉着的声音在教室前排响起。我感到有一种深邃的目光在望着自己。我没敢吭声，坐在座位上套好足球鞋。就在我刚想站起来的时候，他突然转过身来，一字一句地对我说：“一个人我这课也要上，不能辜负你。”
这句话就如同一枚钉子，把我钉在凳子上。他走上讲台，背影有些苍老，但脚步却很坚定。我看见他打开厚厚的一叠教案，然后转身，一丝不苟地写下一行板书。他的声音依然沉着，而且洪亮，空空荡荡的教室里响起一种震撼人心的回声。我悄悄地把那双足球鞋脱了，又悄悄地拿出课本，仔细地放好，用一种近乎虔诚的心情去捕捉老师的每一句话，每一个动作……
后来有很多球场上的同学都回来了，和我一样，端坐在课桌前，听这位白发的老人给我们上课。事后我才知道，他们在操场上等我，老不见人，便来找我，却在窗外看到教室里的情景。他们你看看我，我看看你，都从后门悄悄溜进了课室。这堂课时间过得真快，我真希望时间能过得慢点，好让更多的同学来听他的课，好像只有这样才不辜负他的一片心。下课了，他拍拍身上的粉笔灰，向我点了点头，夹起讲义走出教室，望着他的白发和微驼的背，我的眼睛有点湿。以后，我没有遇到这位教师，可他说的那句话却深深地铭记在我的心里。真的，不论遇到什么困难和挫折，我们都不应该辜负别人的信任和尊重，也许只有这样，真诚地对待生活，回首往事时，我们才不会有什么愧疚和遗憾。

Princess Hours
This week, i have been watching the vcd of the new show on channel U----Princess Hours 宫－野蛮王妃
Have not watch finish yet. Today just finish watching disc 5, still have 3 more disc to go.
Think will be able to finish watching by next tuesday, if my gal is cooperative. ( if she can spend more time sleeping)
This show reminds me of the taiwan "meteor garden". One ordinary gal. One guy trying to be cool. And another guy who always appear when the gal is sad. Seems like quite similar except different background, different country.

touching stories
have been doing some reading during my confinement. alot of touching stories.
share one here with everyone. in chinese.
《乡村教师》 岳勇
临近大学毕业的那段日子，同学们都为毕业后能留在城里能有份好工作忙开了，唯有娟子按兵不动，如无事人一般。
我们同宿舍的几个姐妹都劝她出去活动活动，争取能在城里留下来。哪知娟子却笑笑说：“我要回乡下去。”
我们都吃了一惊。娟子的老家我们结伴去游玩过一次，在大巴山最深处，汽车在20里以外就进不去了，村里人住的全是茅草屋。我们当时都笑着调侃说那儿是全中国最贫瘠的地方。而现在，娟子却轻描淡写地放弃了这次改变命运跳出农门的良机，要重新回到那穷山沟，我们都替她惋惜。
这时，娟子一本正经地给我们讲了一个故事。
10年前，大巴山深处有一所学校。整个学校只有一间茅草搭成的教室，只有一个班级，也只有一个老师。班上有13名学生，那位乡村老师将他们从一年级教起，一直教到六年级。
然而，就在小学快毕业的时候，不幸的事发生了。
有个放牛娃在山上玩火，不小心把茅屋教室给引燃了。等大家发现时，大火已经快封住了教室的门。
教室里的13名乡下娃子都乱了套，但那位乡村教师却比以往任何时候都镇静。他一面叫孩子们不要慌张，一面将被大火围困的孩子们一个个往外背。大火已将窄窄的木门完全封住，老师的衣服、头发和胡子全都烧焦了。但他并没有放弃。到最后，教室里只剩下两名女同学。
老师再一次冲进火海，那两名女同学正坐在教室里哇哇大哭。老师看了她俩一眼，最后咬咬牙，背起其中一个就往外冲。
烧得通红的门框呼的一声砸下，将老师砸了一个踉跄，但他最后还是背着那个女孩从大火中爬了出来。
他把那个女孩背到安全地带，然后又急急地冲进了早已变成火海的教室。就在这时，轰的一声，教室烧塌了。老师和最后那名学生再也没有出来……
讲完这个故事，娟子眼圈都红了。
我们都猜了出来：“最后救出的那名女同学就是你，是吗？”
“是的。”娟子含泪点点头，“但你们知道最后那位被老师留在教室里再也没有背出来的同学是谁吗？”我们都摇摇头。
娟子说：“是老师的女儿呀！”
说完这句话，娟子再也忍不住哭了起来。
我们的眼圈也都红了。
最后，我们宿舍有三个姐妹跟着娟子去她老家做了乡村教师。我是其中一位。

shopping
recently i have been doing alot of shopping. But all for baby items.
Today i just went jurong point to buy some things.
Saw shirley in kiddy palace again. And she help me to get the items i wanted. Thanks for her advice also on the baby items, she seems like an expert?! And i got discount for all the items, thanks to her...
Now i have become an "auntie", sourcing for cheaper diapers, cheaper baby items.
went ntuc to buy mamy poko diapers. My baby gal usage of diapers is alot. change about 10 diapers per day. one pkt of 52 diapers can at most last 1 week only. have tried alot of brands and some are really horrible. drypers left red red marks on my gal thighs, not good to use. Fitti basic leak like mad. cheap diapers not very good to use. So far the best is still pampers premium. But they are very expensive and 1 week can use 2 packets. So i have to source for cheap diapers to use in the day and pampers or mamy poko for the night.
Saw qianhao and weihong eating at long john silver. Had a short chat with them. They have done very well for the chinese o level paper. well done.
o level is just around the corner. Work hard!

tiring times
The past weekend was very tiring. Fetch baby back to yishun house on friday night. She managed to sleep quite well. Wake up at 3am for feed and 6am for another.
Saturday night was a disaster. My hubby was not feeling too well. I have to take care of the baby myself. baby was not cooperative. finished her feed at 11pm plus, refused to sleep. I got no time to bathe and brush teeth. feed her again at 12 midnight as she seems hungry again. After that still refused to sleep. Entertain her until 2am, lucky i bought a rocker for her, put her on the rocker and she manage to sleep at 2am. Then i have time to brush and bathe. After that still have to wash and sterilize the bottles. By the time everything is done, its 3am plus. The rocker was in the living room, so end up i have to bring out a mattress and sleep in the living room. Dun want to wake up baby and hubby also.
At 5am, baby wake up for feed. after that put her on mattress to sleep. dun know why she doesn't like the cot in bedroom, put her down, she will cry. then i got time to express milk for her and wash, sterilize things again.i manage to sleep another 1 hr, then she start to scream for another feeding at 8am.
was very very tired. sleep less than 3 hours. Worse is the small baby is cranky and the "big baby" is sick. yesterday night bring baby back to jurong house. She is still the same pattern, after 11pm plus feed, refuse to sleep and wail like mad. end up no choice , i use the pacifer for the 1st time, and it works immediately. She stop crying and we put her on cot to sleep, she just suck the pacifer until she sleep. Its really a breeze. at 3am, she wake up, i push the pacifer back into her mouth and she sleep until 5am.
I manged to sleep well last night. Thanks to the pacifer. Its really a wonderful invention.
The baby is now sleeping in the rocker. She cry for feed but drink a few mouthful, fell alseep. Now waiting for her to wake up.

updates
Today my baby gal is 19 days old.
Her weight increase a bit, now 3.1kg
btw my baby name is Yip Yee Leng. No christian name given. Next time if she want, she can name herself:)
Feeling quite tired these 2 weeks. Lack of sleep. Not easy to take care of baby. Most of the time i have to sleep in the day when baby sleep. Wake up when she wake up. At night she will normally have her feed at ard 11 plus, then if i'm lucky, she can sleep. If not have to entertain her until 2am plus. She will normally have her feed again, then go to sleep. And will wake up at ard 5am plus for another feed. So have to wake up 2-3 times in the night just to feed her.
She got a blocked nose and difficulty in drinking milk( tend to puke very often) and sleeping. Breathe like pig. Took her to see doctor on sunday. nothing serious. She got a sensitive nose.
Now she is more sensitive to sounds. A bit louder sound will scare her. Like coughing, sneezing etc. Sometimes she is scare by her own sneezing.
my hubby is not going to china to work, so i need not relocate myself next yr. But his job is still a new one, so i try not to deprive him of rest. weekday he stay in yishun, weekend then come over jurong to see me and baby.
now its sep holidays, all of you enjoying ur holidays?

baby born on 17 august
I have given birth to my 2.725kg baby gal on 17th august at around 7.15pm
admitted into hospital that day at around 4.30pm. A short labour but very painful. Until now still very pain, have to lie on bed. Have been eating pain killer for the past 6 days.
Today is exactly one week since i given birth. But still in pain. cannot sit, so i did not post anything on blog. now i stand to type. after this have to go back to lie on bed. I think the wound will take another 1 week to recover.
will post the photo of baby gal after i get a bit better. As for her name, after consulting a feng shui master, all the previous names i thought of are not suitable becoz of the number of strokes. So most probably we will stick to what the master given us. That is yi2 ling2 ( one of the tcs actoress had the same name, except her surname is lai4, but my baby surname is ye4)
ok, thats all for today. will update again soon.:)

still around
sighz...........
my baby gal still very happy inside my stomach....until now still dun wan to come out.....
i have already activated my maternity leave. Went to walk around singapore for the past 3 days. Very boring. Monday went for lunch with sandra and daxiong ( Mr lim) at lau pa sat. After that I went shop shop at Novena (united square), bought a baby sling. Tuesday went plaza sing to watch a movie, then shop shop. yesterday went toa payoh walk walk. eat at crystal jade for lunch, then went to buy a chocolate cake from awfully chocolate at upper thomson.
today i am going to see my gynae, hope that he will give me some good news.
Really tired of waiting.......these few days waiting for contractions, water bag burst etc, but no signs. Only got a bit of irregular stomach cramps...not very painful type......all false alarm.
I bought alot of chinese books yesterday. So that I can read during my confinement period. If not i will be bored to death.
my hubby's new job got some changes.Maybe he will not go china end of this month. The company offer him another position in singapore office. Have to see the prospects 1st. But any decision doesn't affect me really much coz I will remind in teaching if he stay in singapore. My current school is quite good and i quite happy there.
To all my sec 4E and 5N angels:
I know alot of u are not satisfied with ur mid yr o levels results. Many of you r going to re take. Dun be too disappointed. I know many of you are capable of getting a A2, but got b3 instead. The problem may lies in the oral as the allocation of oral marks is really really high. But there is no re taking for oral examinations if i am not wrong.
for those retaking, work on paper 1, just make sure ur essay is not out of point. And from my marking experience, official letter score better than personal letter. As for paper 2, work on the way u all answer questions. your answer need to be longer( not short and sweet kind) , but dun write unnessary info.
Most importantly, pay more attention to other subjects ok. chinese is only one of them, dun take it that its the end of the world if dun get distinction. End of the day, u still depend alot on yr other subjects. :)

Ms Sng ( sandra)and Mr Lim ( teck siong ) are both back in Singapore already. I am thinking of meeting them b4 i go deliver, dun know if can make it on time....

still waiting
My baby still not sign of coming out yet.
Yesterday my hubby's sis just given birth to a baby gal. Her estimated due date is later than mine, but she delivered so much earlier. And her baby is about 2.75kg. A good weight. But her labour is long, normally 2nd labour will be faster. But she took more than 12 hours.
I'm still waiting. really hope by next week can deliver.
maybe i should go eat some really good meals this weekend and maybe watch my last movie b4 delivered.
Tomolo i'm going for my gynae visit. Looking forward to it.
baby is not moving as much as she used to. Dun know is it becoz she is heavier. Will ask the doc tomolo.:)

My relief teacher will be coming on next monday, so that i can talk to him and pass some of the import stuffs to him, in case i go deliver. I think the school manage to get a very experience teacher. Heard that he is 62 years old and was a retired ex HOD from some school.

Next week will be August already. chinese 'O' level results will be coming out in a few weeks time. I hope all the sec 4 angels will be able to get very good results. Remember to update all your results when it is released.

Tomolo i will be going to see my gynae. Hopefully he can give me some good news. Really hope baby can arrive faster. Tired of waiting and also getting heavier. Just climb a bit of stairs, my legs will be very suan.
Have been drinking coconut juice for the past 2 weeks. There's a saying that its very cooling and that labour will be more smooth. dun know true or not.
I think raspberry tea also quite good. Maybe i should go and buy some to drink.

2 days mc
I on mc for today and yesterday. Had a very bad stomach cramp on wednesday morning. End up half way through my lessons, have to go toilet to puke. And all my breakfast came out. And halfway to toilet have to puke in dustbin also...cannot make it on time.
After that go back class to teach again. That was only the 1st period of lesson. Got 3 period in a round that day. And on and off my stomach cramp. wanted to go see doc, but when stomach not cramping, then its like nothing. So i did not go see doc half way. wait until lesson end at 2pm, then find that stomach not cramping already.
But still go see doc in the evening. I got duty in the afternoon to go swimming pool take attendance for the school swimming programme. Then there's also no afternoon clinic on wednesday. So at ard 5pm, went to see my gynae. waited for more than 1 hr, as i had no appointment. Then after that he say may be due to food poisoning, and check that cervix is a bit open. so give me some medicine and rest for 2 days. Now the baby coming to 36 weeks. juz in case she want to come out too fast, so i eat the medicine for these few days. I think next week i can stop eating liao, coz next saturday baby will be around 37wks. Even if come out will be considered as a full term baby, not a prematured baby.
Actually dun mind the baby coming out one week b4 national day.

yesterday night i went for my gynae appointment. Now at week 34+ , the baby is about 2.1 -2.2kg. A very big increase since the last appointment 3 weeks ago.
The gynae say i cannot have too big baby. The best baby weight will be 2.5-2.6kg at birth. if bigger, will most probably have to c section. So probably another 2 more weeks, the baby will hit that weight already.
Thinking of letting the baby come out earlier, maybe at week 37?
Then my hubby can have more time spent with baby b4 he go over to china to work.
And also the baby will of a weight that maybe still can come out naturally. if too big will need to c section.
I have gain abt another 3 kg. Now a total gain of about 14kg.
My hospital bag almost packed ready, left some toiletries, baby stuffs also bought almost all ready.
Got admission letter yesterday. So anytime when i have to go deliver, just need to grab the hospital bag and go. Think the fastest, will be another 2-3 weeks time.
The gynae did not mentioned that the baby will come out early.
To all the sec5N students who have not taken your oral exams:
GOOD LUCK!
hope the qn will be easy for u all!

thanks for yest lunch
Yesterday, met up with Sandra( Ms Sng), cindy, sylvia and Fatimah. Had lunch at plaza Sing pizza hut. Thanks for the lunch hor......u all not earning money yet, should not have paid for the meal. And sorry for making u all wake up early for the lunch, though it is not really early liao. 12noon, the sun already very high up in the sky.:P
after lunch, we walk around Plaza Sing and after that walk towards Taka, along the way went Heeren.
I miss those time in red cross when Sandra was still around. That was the best time i had in jwss. After 2 of my best friends in school left. ( The other one was Mr Lim Teck Siong), life became different and facilitate my decision to transfer school also.
miss the time when cindy, sylvia,fatimah, serene etc were ex co in red cross. They were the very united batch of gals. Muz treasure the friendship.....most probably your secondary school friends will be those who will accompany u for the rest of your life.
sylvia, dun be too "jie2 pi4", coz next time ur bf will have a hard time. probably will get slap by u everyday for making the house dirty and untidy:) So have u found out how frequent ur mum wash ur bedsheet? Hope everyone of u will do well in ur poly course. And in future, go for upgrading again......but interest still the most important. Do what u are interested in.
yesterday, i went john little to get my similar pair of sandals, juz that i bought a white colour one instead of pink. This time i will keep the sandals inside the house, juz in case get stolen again. I want to wear it to hospital when i deliever.
have been trying to eat more since my last visit to the gynae. Still want baby to come out at week 38. have about 6-7 weeks more to go. juz now for dinner, i da bao porriage from food court, then da bao water cress soup and one bowl of dou hua. and also bought half a honey dew back.
ever since i get pregnant, my face become rounder and rounder, and now already having double chin. hopefully for the next few weeks, the weight will goes to my baby instead of keep adding on to my face.
after school reopen, will be the o level mother tongue oral examination. I will be on duty also, for 9 days, going to a school in north side. This will be the last major work i have for this year. After that i will go deliver soon.

missing sandals
somebody took my sandals away outside my door. Today when i want to go out, I found my sandals missing. Out of so many pairs of shoes, only the sandals is gone. And it is not an expensive one, juz that still quite new...less than 2 weeks old. bought from John Little. Now i have to go and get another pair of similar sandals.....maybe i will buy a black colour one, perhaps pink colour is too tempting for pple to steal.
Went for gynae check up today also. baby is now ard 1.4-1.5kg, at week 31. She is on the small side. But I am already eating like nobody business, but dun know why she never grow enough. Think my dream of getting a national day baby is not possible. She is too small to come out early. Next appointment will be 3 weeks later, hopefully she will eat and grow well.:)
tomolo i am going to bring a group of students to singapore press holding for a visit and some sort of a reporter type of event. will be a whole day event, after that maybe i will drop by John little to get my sandals, extra work for me....sighz....

updatez
My days in the holidays are juz too plain and nothing special. Thus not able to update frequently, as there is nothing really interesting.
Now is almost the same everyday. Morning wake up, if no need to go school, i will sleep again. And time for lunch. Eat and surf a bit of net, and sleep again. Time for dinner, eat and laze around and sleep again. haha......damn boring rite? To summarize, is eat and sleep, sleep and eat.
2 more mths to go before my little baby gal is here. I hope that she can arrive 2 weeks earlier, which is at week 38. maybe can come on national day.
Today geneviere, qiuping and chuan jun came to my house. Had a long chat with them and took some photos. remember to send the photos to me hor....the singnet account. They still look the same...not much changes........after i give birth, i will be back at my mum house which is in jurong. So no need to travel so far to visit me already. I will probably still at my mum house form mid august all the way to next year Feb.
New plan for next yr will be, maybe i will take one year no pay leave starting Jan. Maybe will take another year after that.
After chinese new year, will go china for some time, as my hubby will be going there to work.
Will be in shandong. Then I will be full time mother for maybe one year or so, baby will be going over there with me. will come back singapore 2-3 times in a year.
next monday i will be going to see my gynae again. Can get to see my baby scan picture on screen. dunno how much weight bb has gained. I already gained 12kg.

o level marking
Today is the starting of my 2 weeks o levels mother tongue paper marking.
Saw mdm lim today. She is there too. Cannot recognize her as she got a new hair style...now hair straightened liao.
Saw Ms chua bee kuan also. U all remember her?
Then at lunch time we went for lunch together. For the next 2 weeks, we will be having lunch everyday together.
This morning i realise to travel from Yishun to Tiong Bahru is so inconvenient. Only 2 ways. One is to take Mrt from yishun to Jurong east, then from jurong east to tiong bahru. Another is to take Mrt from yishun to douby guat, then from there take to outram, then change train to tiong bahru. Both way will end up about 1 hr 15mins. I tried taking bus 851 from tiong bahru back to yishun, take also about 1 hr 15 mins.
Think next week onwards, have to get up earlier, if not will be late for marking.
I have seen the question paper today. Paper 1 is real easy. majority of those i mark do the official letter question, which is easier. This time I mark only paper 1 ying yong wen. Last year I mark composition.
paper 2 is not as diificult as so of you think. Just that the li jie wen da more of news type than story type. Dun be too demoralize, there is still oral and listening yet to come. these 2 items will decide if you can get A1. Try to do as good as possible esp in oral.:)

mid yr results back?
Have u all got back your mid year results? remember to update okie:)
Election day juz over. Quite happy that the WP retained Hougang and Mr chiam retained his potong pasir too. A close fight in Aljunied. maybe 5 years later, they may have a chance to capture that piece of land.
So far i have put on 8kg. Stomach getting bigger, now walk like penguin. climb a bit of stairs will get breathless easily.
now i am marking my mid yr papers. papers came in last friday. have about 2 weeks to finish marking. much better than when in JWSS. at least got more time to mark. Students have more time to prepare for exams also. the whole exam stretches over a period of 2 weeks.

getting lazy
now i'm getting more and more lazy.
most of the time i sleep. sleep in the morning, afternoon and nite..haha...once i have time, nothing to do, i will sleep. surprisingly, no matter how much i slept in the day, i have no difficulty sleeping in the nite.
my baby gal move more often now...she can do bigger movements. most of the time she move during the nite when i tried to sleep.
Geraldine, saw ur messages. Thanks for the advices. Hope that you will be able to complete the nursing course with good results and pursue your interest further.
I will be giving birth in TMC in August. Hope that can give birth naturally without having to inject the pain killer. Not too sure, but if baby too big, then have to go c-section.
Have now gained a total of 8 kg. will have a hard time to slim down after birth.
heard that JWSS got new relief teachers. There's one quite good looking one is it? heard that he was told to leave the school due to whatever reasons.
next week is election. I will have to vote for my area. Yishun East. Second time voting. last time was for Jurong GRC. Not very concern with politics all along. But for past 2 days, have went to listen to the rally. The Workers' Party one was super crowded. the entire roads all parked with cars. But the PAP one not too many people. Of course the result of election may turn out opposite.
Sometimes i wondered, civil servants working under government, has got a voting right? Are we supposed (by right) to vote for the government? Do we have a choice? Will anything happen if we do not follow the 'by right'? maybe i am thinking too much..haha....that's the problem with pregnant woman. too free. too many things to think.:)

How is everyone?
Have not seen everyone for quite sometimes...(except for Jinghou, zhenxiong)
Exams coming soon....how's preparation? cannot slack anymore....not much time left.Please work hard, especially those taking 'O' levels this year.
How are things in JWSS? Any changes for the better?
Recently i down with flu. yesterday was on mc...went to see doctor and eat some medicine. The weather was quite bad recently, raining almost everyday.
Now my baby coming to 6mths. She is now about 570g. Should be a average size baby. not too big not too small. Have not thought of a name for her yet. I think will left it to my husband side to name coz they are more particular about names. Maybe still have to go and find someone professional to 'count' the strokes of the name.
Hope that she will come out on National Day, then she can be a national day baby. But not very possible....should be mid of August. Unless early by 2 weeks. :)

Last week i went to have a detailed scan, and can see the baby moving very actively. Now she is 345g. She can move her hands and legs. I saw her moving her mouth during the scan.
Now can feel a bit of movement also....but not those 'kicking' one.....one some thump thump feeling like something drop down. Actually is the baby turning and shifting position.
Stomach getting bigger, have put on 7kg already, and its only the 5th mth. Now all the clothes last time cannot wear anymore, Have bought maternity wear.
I uploaded some exam papers from other schools. For those taking 'O' level this year, u may want to try it....some are quite interesting. The answers I also upload it together.

updates
Now i'm in the 4th mth stage of pregnancy...2nd trimester. Doc say the baby most probably is a gal. Estimated due date will be 20 August. I have gained 5kg already, and its only 4 mths. cannot imagine the total weight i will gain in the rest of the mths.
I dun have craving for certain food, just that like sweet things more. Have been drinking quite a lot of cranberry juice. But sour stuffs dun like. Now everyday lunch time, i will drink a bowl of fish slice soup.
tonight i will be going pizza hut to eat..... most probably will eat the pasta meal. The summer vege soup from pizza hut is very nice.....
tomolo our school have a performance at singapore conference hall....something like jwss emd. but ours is more towards chinese culture. I will be on duty for afternoon show.
So how's JWSS EMD coming along? :)

congrats on CSA and EUA GOLD
Congrats to all my little angels from red cross. All the hard work last year paid off. This is the highest achievement we can have for the unit.....a GOLD in just 6years.
I hope both the GOLD award can motivate everyone........u all have created another record,
something everyone should be proud of!Without the team work, commitment, bond between each and everyone, the gold will not be possible.
Mary and Persis, and the sec 4s, this the year all of u will be leaving school, but there will not be regrets, u all have earned the GOLD!
I hope all of u will continue to work hard and maintain the CSA and EUA GOLD. As long as there is team spirit, nothing is impossible!
CONGRATS!!!!!

cheer up!
I hope all my little angels from red cross can get over yesterday competition..........
Though we did not do as good as we thought we will be able to.........
But I know everyone had trained very hard for the competition.......
sometimes in life, alot of things are difficult to say...............
we juz lack a bit of luck..........
Our history record has always been blank before 2005 FDC. If we can create a record in 2005, we will be able to create another......lets get over this year competition, next yr we can still make a come back!
There will be alot of other competitions coming up, maybe not our forte, but everyone just give it a try...who knows...maybe another record will be created.
We lost only the competition, not the team spirit, not the bonding, not the memories that everyone shared in the process. most importantly, everyone gained experience.
Hope to see smiles on everyone's faces again the next time I met u all!
Cheer up! :)

thinking about u
I have been thinking about u all. kinda of miss everyone in jwss ( except those downstairs pple).
I have seen faces here that remind me of alot of u over jwss. Sometimes when i see one student who resemble one of u, i will call out the wrong name.....so funni....
today my school commemorate total defence day.
my friday is always good, only one period of lesson,plentyof time for me to think what to eat for lunch.
This week I have no cca, because next week is the students' CA1. over here, we have only CA1, SA1, CA2, SA2. thats why CA1 is important. we don't have so many tests like jwss.
the week after next, on the 27th, we have a half day because of good o levels results. Life here is still a bed of roses. Maybe because of my pregnancy, i tend to give myself a very valid reason/excuse to rest more. I think pregant women have more privileges over here, more welfare than in 'prison'.
Now i'm going down to canteen to eat my lunch. early lunch.....have to eat again at 3plus....gets hungry often.
how is life in jwss now? any major changes/difference?

some updates
Actually I am thinking of waiting a few more weeks b4 updating everyone on it...but since some of u have already guessed it, I will just post here. Yes! I'm pregnant. about 8 weeks plus. The 1st 3 mths of pregnancy is normally not that stable, that's why people say must wait until 3 months then can tell people.
Now the baby is quite small...about 2cm plus only, hands and legs have not growth compeletly yet. I'm having quite alot of 'morning sickness', some people dun get any morning sickness, or some can be even worse. Mine is quite ok in the morning and afternoon, but when reached evening and night time....i will feel like vomitting....so for these few days, i have been vomitting all my dinner out.......and i got 100 days cough also, but cannot anyhow eat medicine now.
Have to wait a few more weeks, maybe the morning sickness will slowly goes off. I will be visiting my gynae again middle of Feb. By then if the scanning, everything ok, i will try to post the scan picture on blog, then u all can seen the picture of the baby when its only a few mths old....(biology lesson).
Yesterday, I seen quite a number of you in school. Somebody mentioned something, and I felt quite worried for some of you. For 4E1 and 5N1, u will be taking the new 'o' level chinese exam format. You will not be able to study for this new format and there is no zao ju or tian xie han zi etc. The only way is to learn the method of answering the comprehension....esp the one on writing. If there are 2 parts in the question, you have to answer 2 parts....and dun jump the sequence. answer the 1st part, then answer the 2nd part. And if the question say: explain why the mother expression is surprise, suspicious, disappointed, pain", u have to explain the 4 different expressions, cannot just explain one expression. And the answer will be quite long.....it cannot be short and yet u get 4 or 5 marks for that.
You u all faced any problem in getting the model answers for your workbook, please get help from other classes students......I have seen their workbook....they have the model answers to it. Please do not have the wrong impression that all the answers are short and sweet.
Please double check will other classes if u find doubts in things or questions that answers dun seems to fit it....I cannot say to explictly here......but this is very important....the new format is not easy....the way to answer qns correctly is the most important thing.
I am also teaching sec 4 express in the new school, thats why I know the questions in ur workbook.
And lastly, put more emphasis on ur composition.....marks for paper 1 is higher than paper 2. :)

don't be too disappointed!
Today Talentime, though we did not win, but to me, everyone is already a winner. Our Talentime performance gets better and better each year. And this year is the best so far I have seen. We lose to all the 'good' schools like SCGS, RGS etc.........but I know if it were to judge by district level 1st, we would have won something esp the drama item. But too bad they go by national level only.
Dun be too disappointed.........all of you have done ur best and I can see it. Farisha acting is very good. I think for drama we lose out maybe becoz of our command of English......have to admit their English is better than us......
Our song item is very entertaining too........
As long as we continue to work on it, there will be one day, we will be able to win something in Talentime......maye next year.
Talentime is over, now everyone just need to concentrate on footdrill.........I believe if the team is bonded, team spirit is there, morale is high........we CAN win something............
I wish everyone all the best for the coming Footdrill Competition.......:)

Ms Sng message for Red Cross Footdrill Team!
Dear angels,
Below is a message from Ms Sng. I copied from her blog, just in case some of you miss the message. Or didn't know where to find her blog:) The wording in red:)
Unforgetable
For the past 3 years, only one thing was on my mind at the beginning of the year: Footdrill Competition. I'm sure my cadets are now training very hard for this year's competition. To all Red Cross Youth cadets, winning the footdrill competition is the most prestigious thing that could ever happen. Of course I wanted that for my unit. It would be the best thing I could do for my cadets and the school. After two previous futile attempts, we finally did it last year!
The events of the footdrill competition on 26 February 2005 are still vivid in my mind..... It was one of my best days in JWSS! My girls were the 1st runners-up for the West District Competition and emerged as the 2nd runners-up in the National Competition! Imagine we were placed behind schools such as RGS and CHIJ.... Woohoo! Look at the two trophies held by Fatimah (commander of the squad) and Sylvia (chairperson)! And look at all the happy smiles on the faces of the cadets..... Each of them deserved the award! My only regret is that Fatimah did not get the 'Best Commander' award. Nonetheless, she is the best commander ever in my heart. I could still remember the cadets and I crying and hugging together after the presentation of the award..... It was such an emotional and momentous day! I would liken that day to 14 July 1997 (My gawd! Has it really been that long?!) when ACJC was the Best Band of the Year!
If my cadets are reading this, I hope that those of you involved in this year's footdrill competition would work hard and maintain the standard and results that the seniors had tried so hard to achieve. Of course the going would not be easy. In fact, it would be tough and full of ups and downs. But that makes winning even sweeter at the end of the day! Good luck to JWSS RCY!

CCA open house
Today is my new school CCA open house. The atmosphere is entirely different from JWSS. The CCAs here are very vibrant and they can do alot of things that students in JWSS most probably not allowed to. eg. drinking and eating all around the school, bringing handphones to school, the students can climb up tall wooden structure they tied using wooden sticks and strings. They can shout and scream at the top of their voice. They can run around like crazy pple. Alot of fun. And during lessons, they are very chatty too.....noise level there is not a problem and the learning mood is great.
I will be taking Girl Guides as my new CCA. Something JWSS doesn't have and I always want to try out as I used to be a guide when I was in my secondary school. The Girl Guides there has a population of 27 only.
Frankly speaking, I do not miss JWSS, but there is still something that's always on my mind.......That is all the students/classes I taught in JWSS and also my RC cadets. Life is different in JWSS because of all of u. Without u all, my life in JWSS will be much more miserable.
Hope that very soon I will be able to visit u all in school. really miss the times we spent together
