New Term

“Not Enough ah!!!” describes the feeling when the school holiday is ending in a week time. Haha! 

A new school term awaits.
2nd semester. Term 3. 10 weeks.
Gonna be a events-packed and agenda-packed term.

Things will start to kick off immediately during first week of school, in preparation for the Sports Day at the second week.

One of the school’s grand annual events - Sports Day
This is the first year we will be including Fund-Raising where the children will be “selling” their artpieces and the money they earn will go to St Xxxx Hospital.

Being the first time and also one of our projects thus there are quite some work to be done before, during and after. One of it will be documentation and later to prepare the children for a follow-up trip to St Xxxx Hospital to present the money and the gifts.

Another highlights - Best _______ Award
In view of this, K2 are selected to be involved thus when school reopens, Mrs M Low and I have to give our children “intense training”.
And looking our time-table, we have to give up our break time to assist each other. All of these will take place immediately after Sports Day. 

Next highlight - Graduation Ceremony cum Concert.
Another grand (the grand-est) annual event of the school.

Once the songs are selected, we have to think of the dance steps/formations and of course to find time to teach the children.
And being the graduation class, there are slightly more involvements like graduation ceremony and graduation items.

Other ongoing matters will be home visitation. 

Even before school starts, I already have 3 appointments fixed. 
Term 3 will be the term that most teachers will go all out as to free up Term 4 to give attention to concert which include looking/setting costumes and accessories etc.

Term 3 will also be the term that academic will get slightly "heavy" and there will be certain level of expectations, from parents or from school thus “pressure” will be on.

Enjoy your last week of holiday, Miss Lim! 

And then gear yourself up for the new term!   

Opps!

Found this video while looking through the videos.

It was taken by one of my teammates during SOT Preaching Test. 

Those shaking legs ... ... ... was mine! Haha!

You see, it was just before my turn to preach. =p

My Birthday - Final

Just when I thought my actual birth-day was a beautiful end, I was taken by SURPRISE the moment I reached home.

I was led to fb and that’s when I saw a video… specially dedicated to me!
Never in my entire life have I ever expect a video for myself.

As I watched on, tears and smiles were all over my face.
Words just cant describe how I feel… Like what Sun said in her twitter, “who am I and what have I done to deserve all this?“

Overwhelmed with lots and lots and lots and lots of LOVE!
All the messages and all the videos meant so much to me!

The touching birthday messages via words and videos from beloved Team8 members.

The special and precious appearance by the friends of Batangas!
I’m so so so so so so touched by the effort they went! 

The never-expect appearances by Justin, Weiching, Yowei and Little Yian! The guest appearances by Pst Lily and Pst Pang with his wife!

Special thanks to the woman behind… from sending to collecting to editing to compiling! 

23 May
Was treated to a table full, literally full of Japanese feast.

Special thanks to my Principal, my mentor, my Level Head, my Laoshi  and my co-partner!
Appreciate all your love and thoughts! 

  
24 May
A dinner with Pst’s zone… for Ivan’s advance and my belated birthday.
It was indeed heartwarming to see so many came. We had a great  fellowship.

Beside the treat, I was blessed with a cool-looking card and love gift.
Thank you Pst and everyone in the zone!
Appreciate all your presence and presents!

26 May
A yearly-affair, birthday dinner with my kakis!
We have lost count of the number of years we been celebrating for each other. Though we may not meet up as often as before but whenever it comes to birthday, everyone will definitely make time out.

It was a pleasant dinner UNTIL I was called by the “Hooters”.
As I was super uncooperative, they only sang me a birthday song and off I ran off the “stage”. Guess I’m no longer that young for this kind of “fun”.

Nevertheless thank you beloved kakis for your presence and precious.
I really got a shock when I opened up the love gift from you guys! 

28 May
The final birthday date for me - dinner with Zen.
Was treated to a fishy dinner before we set off for movie.

Glad to have a friend like her.
Guess our friendship only started “taking off” this year, appreciate her effort to ask me out for dinner and to la kopi. 

Thank you Zen for the treat and your friendship! 

My Birthday - Part 2

18 May

Celebration in school where both sessions of children and staff sang me birthday song during assembly. Throughout the day was also blessed with food, presents and cards from little and big angels. 

Thank you everyone in school! 

Overwhelmed by all your love! 

 

 

In the night, met up Mr Loo and Miss Loo free flow Xiao Long Bao + steamboat! It was a very-satisfied and very-full one.
Great fellowship. Always enjoyed myself hanging around with them.

Thank you Loos!
Really appreciate your love, time and thoughts!
Not forgetting your birthday song @ 12am!
I’m surprised and touched indeed! 

19 May 

My day started with a self-declared break from JAMs.. Hehe! 

Was asked out by Miss Loo, felt strange though I thought it was just for lunch. She then made known the "purpose" and brought me to choose my present from two designs pre-selected by her and Mr Loo. 

Felt so paiseh to make them spent another big BOMB. 

Really appreciate their effort in doing "homework" and the extra miles they went in search for my present.

Not just that, this very generous Miss Loo gave me a treat at one of my favorite makan places, Seoul Yummy! Another bomb spent. 

I'm seoul so seoul blessed! Once again, thank you Miss Loo and Mr Loo... from the very deep bottom of Miss Lim's heart. 

Then was blessed with a Massage Rabbito from Fifi and the famous Lao Ban from Zoe Jie.

After a great service, went for an impromptu-dinner with some CG members. Really didn’t “expect” anything cause just wanted a simple after-service-dinner. But nevertheless they did - a treat + a cake.

Thank you all for the thoughts and treat!
Appreciate all your love and friendship!

Choice

a choice made 3yrs ago…
choice faced “threats” immediately…
took 1yr to reconsider…
3yrs later, choice faced “threats” again…

I... I... I...

The long-awaited school holiday has officially started.
Cant really feel it yet as probably we are still required to be in school for ~2weeks to prepare for next term. Some were shocked and some asked why when they knew we are back. Haha!

From staff meeting to level meeting...
From keeping resource to checking resource to repair resource to check in/check out library books to learning corners to visitation reports to evaluation to lesson plans to printing of worksheet to sorting of photos to projects to art works…

Though no Monday-blues but the day didn’t ended well for Miss Lim today. Guess since end last week, Miss Lim was already feeling a little tired (not so much physically though). She has been coping well until today where she left school in the evening with little “flooded eyes”. 
It been the longest time Miss Lim reacted this way when it comes to work thus she herself was shocked as well. But thank God within a minute, she managed to contain her emotion. 

“Cheer” herself up with a cup of bubble tea…
Will try to catch an early sleep... 
Most of all, pray that the last two days of back-to-school will be good..

=)
