last saturday was 'exams-over-watch-movie-day' at youth group. hah
kimbo came too! we watched this interesting show called 'Facing the Giants', and nostalgia just overwhelmed me.
NJ Touch Rug. that 2months was really an experience.
Being always the last runner of RVNP NCO Squad 03/04.. i never thought i'd ever make it to run fast.
but coach angel really stretched me.. and also jingjing, the cesar tracker who taught me how to run when i willingly go to the front to run fart leks every training..
everyone thought i was very zai. run super fast.
but i never did until then..and i dont think they knew this.
i struggle so much every fart lek session.. 4 rounds fart leks kills me!
but im thankful i took on the challenge.
im thankful i was chosen for the first team for J1s to go get killed by others.
it was an experience i'd treasure much. :)
i wish i could just resume touch rugging somehow, some day.. in university?
i hope i can..with that knee injury from training.
just wanna play:)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-i dont know why i always blog when i get an headache. lol.
im going off for church camp on 30th may, but before that.. YINGYING please come back!
hah, im waiting for you, so that kim you and i (and maybe any 05S78ers reading this..) can go get our A level certs together! :) one morning together.. see the teachers or something.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Read the papers today, HCI was chosen to be some technological school pilot project by the MOE.
Primary Schools up to Secondary Schools have been chosen for this trail program, to test its feasiblility for the initiative to be undertaken by all schools in Singapore..
The Primary Schools under the program have what TOUCH SENSITIVE WHITEBOARDS. and a primary school girl commented that it is 'fun and the teacher can play interesting games with them'
I ponder on the neccessity of such hi-tech fanciness in schools today.
I somehow feel that these cool gadgets just become a fad in schools, to capture the attention of the pupils for just a period of time.. and when they get used to this new thing.. they'll still be uninterested or mischeivious as they were if they were so in the first instance. More worrying is that children from low income families who have never really seen such things in their lives, may just spend precious time adapting and adpating to new gadgets that are introduced. They may never get to really concentrate on the content.
But of course, its not all bad.. of course it's flashy, interesting and all that.. but is it neccessary??
An interesting teacher can make a dull subject come to live with oldfashioned black board and chalk
And a boring teacher can just put a class to sleep even with those touch screen white board or whatsoever fanciful things they are going to come up with.
The PRIMARY SCHOOL spent $20,000 or something on the installation of these technological stuff already.
Could the money been put to better use, such as training practical creativity for teachers that would liven up the class just as these technology is aiming to do?
Could the money been used to train students from disadvantaged families, to help them learn basic computer skills that their fellow classmates have learnt at home?
Or probably the school is already doing these, i wonder what goes on in those little schools nowadays that i see my tuition kid so lack of physco-motor skills. and so focussed on getting the right answers for everything in life.. that they are afraid to try. It is not the priority nor responsibility, as many may argue, of the school today to mould the students' life. (although they put things on banners, large prints around the school campus). But why should schools be a breeding ground for such students, capable of 100 marks and incapable of tossing a basketball at a friend?
Okay, i can finally bloggg!
why? cos mummy bought a macbook. solves the problem of my silly com unable to load this blogger page..but seriously, how do you use a mac? ha, im so busy lately i havent really got the time to find out. it's like super late now, and my head's throbbing. but maybe i should just blogg.
haha, lately i finally got some time alone since the lil children are having mid years. told my tuition kid to come over to my house for tuition instead. so all my tuition is like transport free! hur hur, beat reaching home at 11pm needing to do my own things and stuff. i really could do with that extra hour!
anyway, i went town ALONE just last friday. I had a haircut (like finally) & got new specs. my jin4 shi4 got from 100 per eye to like 75 and 50. and my san3 guang1 is still there. my prev optician said i had no more san guang, but i still can't see the bus no. at night/in the morning! i'll never go there again..
it's so nice being a kid sometimes, saturday i only had tuition in the morning, to which i wore formaler clothes (like the norm jeans and blouse i wear to work) then i went home and changed to really casual clothes. they were like mismatched and i took a lil sling bag and off i went out. i went to my market to look for storage solutions to my ling ling long long stuff at home, wanting to beautify and ease out the process of maintaining my room. but didnt manage to, mum suggested i go daiso. should have just asked her first.. cos i only asked her like yesterday.. -.- my mother is smarter than i think she is
anw, then went JE pop to buy some stuff, walk walk..buy more stuff for TIDY MY ROOM project. haha,and went home to put all my new bought things in place, pack up some more. and went ikea alone.. :) it's really nice being out alone sometimes. i think i need like super a lot of time alone kind :) and i am deprived of that so much lately.
i came up with a system of maitaining my room! haha, i think im a lil obsessed with order. i got a lil check list in my computer i must update everytime i finish something. i have weekly chores and monthly chores, and i got the whole year's cleaning well planned in my PC. i hope it gets running esp after i go to uni and when i get busy, my room gets messy. and i get really fussy about things. dont like coming home to a smelly den, although i am the one who created it.
Last weekend, I totally behaved like a kid.
I wore mismatched clothes out.
i chose to walk up slopes by the grass instead of the stairs.
I sat on the JE bus interchange railings.
I dragged my feet and walked anyhowly.
I miss that, a little.
doesnt seem much eh? but just felt more kiddo than i usually do during the week. but those are the things i used to do usually. probably its all in my mind. but it didnt feel that the same anymore.. like i know im not 14 anymore. haish. how time flies and how old im getting.
was asked a big question lately:how am i going to support my parents with the general course im in now. oh mans, i really should appeal for pharmacy already. it's so full of organic functional groups and stuff..but guess if i need to feed my family then thats what i should be doing?
big questions, not so small me.
anyways, i miss ying ying! just 12 more days till she comes back :)
and i hope i really have the time to go pick her up. oh wells, i wonder how much time i have left with my JC dog and pig friends. before all of them fly halfway round the globe.
Oh, and i finally could snatch time on my sis' com to upload some photos previously before this macbook came along.. hope you guys havent died waiting for them!
there's dbGrZ outings, there's zhenbin's birthday celebration, there's outing with s78 girls ying kim pam chieh hw,oh oh! and that day i cooked a totally
japanese meal on my own! (cha soba, miso soup and some teriyaki fishwhich name i forgot) hur hur. im on my way to being a housewife! only missing a husband, small issue! hahahahah. i think im insane. lol
