PTM - Parents Teacher Meeting
Since Mon, Y Laoshi & I had been meeting parents after parents.
Even today, we also had a long session with parents, many parents.
We talked and talked from 8am to 1pm ... with just 30mins break.
There was a period where it was so tight as parents came in flock that we don’t even have time for a slip of water, not to mention time for toilet.
Put aside the tiredness (really tired), really want to thank God for the favor!
Compared to 2008 … this year I approached PTM with much more confidence.
It was really a very good encouragement having many good feedback from parents. =)
JIAYOU Teacher Lim!

tern-ly thingy???
Hmm… is it a term-ly thingy that the teachers/children will fall sick during the last few weeks of school, especially week 9 & 10? Haha!
The most unbelievable I remembered happened last year-end. Believe it or not, MANY children were sick - the highest I ever encountered in my career as a teacher. Half of the K2 children and almost half of the K1 were down. Not forgetting the teachers, one after one and that included myself. Think it was pretty sad on the teachers’ and children’s side to end school year like that.
Can you imagine on the day of excursion on the last day of school, two teachers (one of them was me) were on mc.
This week … being week 10 of Term 2.
Just when I thought “Wooo… I escaped!” as I already have colleagues who are not feeling well.
Guess I was wrong…...

I lOvE cArDs!
When I first got hold of the card (above) … I’m so amazed by the design and cant wait to read the greetings from my friends.Just when I came across the sentence on the cover … for a second, it bought tears to my eyes.
“There is no pay for being a bus captain, but you have earn our respect”
The moment I saw the mini cards (above) in the box, I just went “Wow! Wow! Wow!”Just amazed and appreciate their effort and thoughts.
Extra blessing! =) According to the (above) card gifter, this card was prepared with a “purpose”.
Thanks for the effort and the thoughts!

DoN't FrIEnD yOu AlReaDy!
Today I bought to school with me the bdae “gift” Mr Sato gave it to me last Sat…
As it was too obvious a “gift” … many of my children asked me what happened.
=p The “gift” was actually a short scratch (really short, not serious) a distance near my eye.
Of course it was done unintentionally - the bus was moving where Mr Sato stood up and wanted to move to the back. Concerned of the safety of the other students and especially Student WY who Mr Sato just hit seconds ago. I stretched out my hand to attempt to stop him.
I guess I think too highly of my palm … haha … don’t know how don’t know when (everything happened too fast), he gently knocked onto me. The next sentence I heard was, “Your eye there got blood”.
Arrrggghhhh … Disfigured already!!!!
After I carefully explained to my children what happened (they really listened attentively) … one of the children replied, “So you still friend him?”

I was in the bus this morning when a young girl (prob 4 or 5 years old) with her parents came and sat in front of me. Firstly the girl was annoyed about her wet shoes/feet so she was mumbling away but was ignored. And minutes later, the girl was angry when the mum “messed” up her bag while trying to get the rubber band to tie her hair.
Wooo… I was shocked by the way the girl talked or I should say “scolded” the mum. It was really with power + attitude.
The girl snatched over her bag and started nagging” at her mum … “See lahz! Now everything messy already. I cannot put this inside already lahz” etc.
In her “anger”, she beat the mum on her arm… the mum beat her back and guess what, the girl beat the mum back. @@!
In her “wrath”, the mum grabbed hold of the girl’s mouth and talked right into her face.
When I finally can see the girl‘s face, her next sentence to her mum was “I don’t like you ah!” Dad finally intervened … “Enough is enough”
I got to alight…
Is definitely not easy being a parent.
Since I am not a parent yet, my closer contact with children will of course be my angels in school.
Personally, I really think is very important to strive a balance when it comes to discipline a child. Never will I want to see my angel/s climb over my head.
The one thing I definitely don’t like/can’t tolerate - - disrespect.
That’s one point that I always stress to my K2 angels.

I wish... I wish... I wish...
Mrs Chia asked me to come out with a wish-list for my upcoming 21st birthday.
I want .. * shy * I hope to have .. * shy * I wish to have .. * shy *
Feel shy to say what I want here … haha … in short, four words:
“Friends, use your discernment” =p
Actually to me, to receive presents is a bonus/blessings!
Put presents aside, what’s really important to me is the smses/calls of wishes from my friends and of course their presence over simple makan session.
PS: though Yanni’s birthday is only one day but she has this self-declared “tradition” that her celebration will start one week before and last for a month … muahaha… so start booking her now @ 969xxxxx!
* shy shy *
if you are getting cake for Yanni, please remember to put ONLY two big and one small candles. =p

pRoTeCt HiM?
Was @ Toa Payoh’s HDB few days ago … was the “personal security” of Mr Sato.
His parents need to be in discussion with HDB staff thus they foresee having problem controlling this cant-sit-still boy so I was asked to help.
When the parents were away … I was ALONE with Mr Sato everywhere the building.
We used the lift xx times. We were @ 1st/2nd/3rd floor yy times, we sat on zz chairs, up/down the escalator vv times (I realized Mr Sato afraid to make the first step on the escalator. Unbelievable! Hee!) and in/out of the building ww times! Haha!
Unlike JAMs in church, this time pretty “challenging” as we were in the public so you know you know BUT thank God for the protection. =)

AwEsOmE tImE
Wooohooo… had a fruitful loooooooong weekend.
Started with Lim Clan & GYSS get-together on the same day.
~ Simple dinner (with unforgettable bill … haha!) with Lim Clan members but it was indeed filled with laughters, high fun, non-stop talking and singing!
Who says cousin cant have wowow moments together?! We did! =)
Can you believe it!? Yanni was at the KTV and … … SHE SANG! Haha!
ps: though Yanni seem to pay more (ktv really cant be a always-go-place ar) than she sing ... haha ... but all worth it, it was the company that she rushed back for. =)
~ As with GYSS, I came late thus was only able to join them for a while before they went for second round over b_ _ r! Haha!
Though it was only for that short while but the rush was all worth it.
It was pretty cool, put aside facebook, for most of us, this our first meet face-to-face after like 9-10 years. Wow!
~ Not forgetting Lily‘s zone “Movie Mania” over both weekend.
Simple outing, simple movie, simple “feeding-the-thousand” but awesome time together!
Praise the Lord! From W5 alone, 2 backsliders and 1 friend came!
Another long weekend coming up, looking forward to it!
