student leaders training camp...

never expected student leaders training camp to be so fun!! haha :D

hopefully they bonded well... objective achieved... captains ball, murderer game, bluff game, magic tricks and bbq!!! haha :D it was fun!! really. i enjoyed. haha :D

quite a disappointing day...

when u have prepared so much for the class; when u have spent so much time coming up with the resources for the class; when u enter the class with so much anticipation; just to see the class is 1/3 filled. do you know the feeling???

really disappointed with the girls. but what can i do? i had to look at the positive side and continue with the class.

met a parent and talked with some over the phone. parents are always concerned about their children. only children dun see it. i think they'd understand once they have become adults. always the case.

waiting for nadal's semis match. and france - china match as well!!

not so fun day!

today i had to go to red cross to settle the donation. then i headed back to school for my magic workshop at 2.30pm.

for the first time in 10 days, i skipped breakfast. just din have the mood to eat. so i ate not so fantastic lunch at 12pm.

the magic workshop was fun. learned some cool tricks. it'd be good if i show them in class or at home but i need some more practice. haha :D magic is the way to teach science now. haha :D

came back and unpancked. i'm still tired but i have Nadal's match to watch. hopefully Nadal wins. he shud be more motivated now since Federer lost in the quarters. Nadal will become the new World No. 1 if he wins the French Open. Go Nadal!!!

China Trip and holidays...

since the school hols have started, i'm gonna blog again. haha :D

First post after a long time: China trip.

Had the best 10 days of my teaching life in China. immersion trip to China. apart from the culture, people and place in China, it was the students who made it a perfect trip for me. they were all crazy, singing songs all the time, looked like zoo keepers, smiling all the time and of course being kids.

actually, i am already missing them. and it has been barely a day. haha. 15 of them and each of them is unique. not weird but unique. haha :D if i am given another chance to go anywhere with these bunch of kids, i'd definitely go!! :D

here are some wonderful pics of china:
