Happie! Happy! Happie!

Last entry of 2010...

Eventhough there was no overseas-trip for Yanni … but she is happy with USS trip.

Way before, the thoughts of going USS just thrills her…

And now her holiday is slightly more “completed”…

With that, she is all ready to go return back to work…


In totally, we spent about 8-9hrs at USS.
But can I say most of it we actually spent on queuing? Haha!


From waiting time of 120 to 125 to 115 to 60 to 15...

From moving-queue to stagnant-queue…


Before the end of the day, most of us were tired - not from the rides or the walking but the WAITING and WAITING and WAITING! =p


But of course the waiting & of course the entire trip were made more fun when you are with a group of awesome friends!

Here are some of the rides we took…
Canopy Flyer @ The Lost World
- flying vehicle where we get to enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the park

Enchanted Airway @ Far Far Away
- on a junior roller coaster

Revenge of the Mummy @ Ancient Egypt
- indoor roller coaster in darkness as we face mummies on a thrill ride

Some of the shows we watched…
Water world @ The Lost World
- we get to witness stunts, explosions and thrills at the ’live’ water show

Shrek 4-D Adventure @ Far Far Away
- where we get to see, hear and FEEL the action right from our seat

Lights, Camera, Action! @ New York
- where “Steven Spielberg showed us special effects right before our eyes


And SOME of the photos we took…


Hee! Our all-time favourite, JUMPING shots!


Once again… HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!
May your 2011 be your best year yet! =)

Counting down...

Yesterday was 29 Dec 2010
Today is 30 Dec 2010
Tomorrow will be 31 Dec 2010

Officially it been 6weeks holiday… minus off the weeks that I was back in school, probably left with around 4weeks…

This 4weeks was totally off from work as in not a single moment was I doing or thinking about work. Hee!


Nothing big was accomplished during this holiday but still it been quite a pleasant one.

Officially will be heading back to school on 4 Jan 2011
Mixed feelings as my role and responsibilities in LSK will be different, very different in the new school year.

JIAYOU Miss Lim … for a year of new things!
JIAYOU Yanni … for a year of new challenge!

Here wishing all my faithful blog readers .. .. .. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Cheers to an awesome 2011!

Here Is Love

JAMs’ Christmas 2010 - Here Is Love

Was involved in the drama and this time acted as “Ah Ma”

I am of course not the best candidate for the role but whatever it is, I gave my best at the performance!


It wasn’t easy during the period of rehearsals.
First was my wisdom tooth infectious thus one side of my face was swollen and I had difficulty in talking and also wasn’t in the mood to talk. I was in pain/discomfort during most of the rehearsals that I got to pop in panadol to cut down the pain.

On the actual day, I was so happy that the pain at my wisdom tooth ceased… BUT next came immediately, my lips - Lips cracked? Allegy to medicine? Heaty?
I also don’t know what's that, though wasn’t in much pain like wisdom tooth but just don’t feel good.
It hurts when I smile… It hurts even when I don’t talk…

Half of my “image” was gone the moment I put on “Ah Ma” attire and full makeup.
But all of my “image” was gone the moment the “Ah Ma” photos was uploaded to FB! Haha!

But still… nice experience! =)


Thank God for EVERYONE on board W5! Ended the year with 25 + 1 caregiver!
3 backsliders came back and one of them actually MIA for a year already. Not forgetting 1 “new” friend!

Had a new driver that day as my all-time driver went overseas.
Guess is really through this moment then you realized how good your own uncle is.

Meeting time was 9am.
Bus was nowhere to be seen at 905am so I decided to call the driver as was told the night before from his boss that he can be quite “slow”.

I called him…
“Hello Mr Ang, are you reaching already?”
“Not yet. Why?”

Flipped… late already still can asked me “why?
Then during dismissal, I called him 10mins earlier to come over to carpark but sad to say, he was late again! Haiz!
But still, he been a good and patient driver … even when I gave a wrong direction. Haha!

Good! Great!

Though no overseas trip this holiday (sad!) but still, had a fruitful Dec!
More than just rest, rest, rest & rest… I spent it with great people!


#1 - Dinner with Ah Qi & Ah Jing then chill/movie with Ah Jing & Ah Yin


Much was shared… Much was “discussed”… Much was talked…
Much were "suspected"

Some truth brought smilez… Some brought shock… Some brought disappointments… Some brought doubts…


Sound dramatic? Haha!
All in all… it been an awesome time with them! They are a group of friends I treasure a lot, a alot... really a lot!


#2 - Gathering with Lim Clan

Can’t join them for part1 but thank God was able to for part2!

We used to meet once a year … during CNY! Haha!
But in the recent year, we started meeting up often!


We talked, talked, talked, talked, talked and TALKED until the next thing we realized it was 12am plus! All agreed that anyway midnight charge so we continued.
From dinner, we had our supper too. Almost breakfast even! Haha!


It was already 2am plus when we left.
Though it was a challenge to wake up for JAMs but it was all worth it!


#3 - ECP

Thank God for the good weather! Had a great time of fellowship @ ECP with Miss Tan!
Appreciate her immediate-onz when I suggested the day before!

1 + 2 … had a solid 3hrs of cycling! We went up to Changi Beach Park.



#4 - Birthday parties

Just before school holiday, attended one student’s bdae with Mrs E Tan and Z Laoshi. Just when we thought that was the “last” as we attended quite a few this year but just recently, received two invitations via smses.

As it was already holiday thus the parents cant pass the invitation cards to the classmates so this when Miss Lim came in. I actually helped both parents to send smses and mailed invitation cards. Time and $$$ spent but did it willingly. Glad I’m able to be of help!


@ Child J’s McDonald Party



@ Child A’s Home-Bdae cum Christmas Party



#5 - Dinner with Ah Yang & Ah Jiang

After arranging quite some time, our date was successful this time!
A simple meal + a simple fellowship.

We had a mini shop @ Popular … blessed Ah Yang’s son with a toy and he was sooooo happy that he kept thanking me. Am glad to be able to make his day!


Not forgetting done with some clearing stuffs and packing my room!
Did some shopping too!
And of course caught the movies I been wanting to watch!

2010 Final Peek

LSK is pretty well-known for its learning corners and its self-made resources from recycled items + its self-check device.

Be it @ the Kindergarten Forum or Peer Sharing, LSK’s learning corners usually get praises and affirmations like “Wow! Wow!” “So nice!” “That's very creative!” “Good idea!” "I am going to do it at my school!" etc etc.


Check out some…

ps: can help to collect for us if you have too…


From bread tags to buttons to bottle caps to…

Potato-Chips-Canisters
Beside collaboration with the parents where we get them to give to us if they have, the teachers played a part too. Still remember those days where LSK needed many so can see the teachers busy eating chips everywhere
. We used it from Math to English to Chinese and for all levels.


The following done by the children…



Yakult bottles
This was much easy collection as most of it were given by the children. Our team is so resourceful that they actually called Yakult Company who actually gave us empty bottles!

Still remember a season where we needed those for the setup for “My Supermarket @ My Neighbourhood”… many teachers and family got to drink “carefully” - cant poke straw in and cant peel off the cover completely too.



Pencil/Coloured pencil boxes What others may see it as “rubbish”, LSK team see it as “treasure” cause with the creativity God given to us, we can transform it to meaning learning resource! We used it for English & Math resource and for N2 all the way to K2.


Sweet tins Yes! From chips to drinks and now to sweets! Haha! The most common sweets that LSK teachers will have are none other than “Eclipse” & “Extra“! Haha! Used it mainly at our Math learning corner - for addition, subtraction and counting.


Egg carton
So far used for English & Math - counting, count back and count on.



Newly which will be introduced in 2011 are recycled items like mooncake boxes, disc holders and paper bags etc etc etc etc etc.

LSK teachers are often very “cautious and careful”- whatever thing that we eat/drink/use/see, we will be thinking “Can this be used as learning resource? Does Mrs E Tan need this?”

There was once we ate “Ferrero Rocher”.. we also got to eat carefully as the "original shape" was needed. Another was the jelly container we had @ one of the buffet meals. We got to peel off a little as the whole container in its "original form" was needed too. Haha!

Looking forward to 2011 where I will get to work closely with Mrs E Tan for the learning resources!
