Yummy Food...

I will be going back home to Kuala Lumpur this weekends, it was a very last minute decision. Although is school holiday, I'm busy preparing the teaching materials for next semester + preparing the year 4 &5 students to meet up with professors to discuss about their final year research project.

The main reason of this trip is to witness the opening of my parents' tea shop. Hopefully by then Yoke Ting's (my university best mate) baby has decided to face the world.

Suddenly think of the delicious yet affordable meals my parents-in-law treated us during the Vesak long weekends.

Steam fish

A bit dissapointed, the sauce not up to my standard

A great marriage is not when the

"perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple

learns to enjoy their differences.

I got the urge to share this after I read Liz's blog.
I always believe that in order for a relationship to work & last, the couple must share the same goal.

Under different circumstances, either party must sacrifice in order for a certain plan to work.
Communication & Honesty are very important too!!

Year 3 Outings

20th May 2008, Kallang River

Students were first "enjoying" the briefing & presentation by the YO Group on the important of clean water. Pictures of polluted area were showed as well.Next, students were given a pair of high quality gloves each, a few thongs & black bin bags. We cleaned up the designated area by picking up rubbish like cigaratte butts, bottle caps, food containers, wrappers etc etc. Ryan was in-charge of jotting down all the rubbish we found. We were amazed by the number of cigaratte butts we found. The most dedicated cleanner goes to.......KYLE. His white socks & shoes turned black. He told me that he enjoyed playing with mud:)We were all given bottles of NEWater. Taste okay for me, no funny smell...At the end of the day, all the students were smelly, sweaty, sticky & tired. They can't wait any longer for a refreshing shower. Well Done, Kids!!Mentor's remarks:

I picked up rubbish with my students. I'm angry with the public who didn't give us co-operation by chucking rubbish wherever they wish. After the activity, I enjoyed the air-cond & clean water so much. I took a cooling shower & panadol for my headache. It was a good experience:)

21st May 2008, East Coast Park

Students were so excited & energetic. After briefing, students were told to design a flag that represent their group/class. The pretty + cute lady like cartoon on the far left is me, their mentor; while the purple dinosour next to me is Barney. Both of us prefer & encourage the LOVE method when educate the next generation.

"I love you, you love me, we are happy family. With great big hug & a kiss from me to you. Won't you say you love me too...."Yu Jia & Tricia bought me a cup of tea:) Thank you very muchie!!The next task -- sand castle building. I'm so happy that everyone in my class contributed full-heartly to build the LOVE castle. M08307, wrong planning! We built the castle to near to the beach, high tide!! We need a 'strong' wall... However, the nature is stonger than us. We gave up after more than 30min:(
*Ivan, you are not doing your part!Sleeping beauty? Little mermaid?No! Zi Kai is tyring to save our castle by being the human wall!!

Our end product:) Can you feel the LOVE???Some other sand castles by other mentor groups.

Mentor's Remarks:

I really enjoyed playing sand & salty water with my kids. We have lots of fun although the weather was extremely hot. I'm now darker (still pretty) & whole body is aching (not because I'm too old), but is worth it!! I love you, M08307. M08305, M08306 & M08308 don't be jealous, cause I love you all too:)

Disgusting

Guess What?

Is a toe's nail
Is hubby's nail!!

PETALING JAYA: Student Lim Sze Jian, believed to be a victim of a snatch theft, never regained consciousness until his death on Sunday. He had been in a coma for almost two years.
His father Lim Guan Seng, 52, said that after the incident in September 2006, Sze Jian never regained consciousness or opened his eyes.

“Sometimes he moved a hand or leg when we talked to him,” he said.

Guan Seng said Sze Jian, who was allowed to be taken home after the incident, was admitted to Hospital Kuala Lumpur a month ago for high fever.
He said Sze Jian was allowed to go home again a few days later but was re-admitted to the hospital’s intensive care unit a week before his death after he fell sick again.

Sze Jian, 20, died at Hospital Kuala Lumpur, at 2.30am. His father claimed his body at 3.30pm the same day.

“I hope the police will get the culprits who did this to my son,” Guan Seng said.
City CID chief Senior Asst Comm (II) Ku Chin Wah said that he would personally look into the case which police had classified as snatch theft. He said based on findings so far, there was an eyewitness.

The first-year accounting student at the University Tunku Abdul Rahman was found unconscious at the Masjid Jamek LRT station on Sept 18, 2006, reportedly attacked while on his way home to Wangsa Maju. He was believed to have been robbed as he had contacted his father saying that his cell phone had been snatched.

For those of you who has been following my blog, this is a sad story of my ex-student. I was so shock when my Phavz (ex-colleague) broke the news to me via msn. Now, I'm still shock & don't believe what I have read. As you know, my parents visit him quite often & I when to his house during my last trip back to Kuala Lumpur. His parents told us that he was much better at that time....

Think from the brighter side, he is no longer suffering.
Hopefully the culprit will get the punishment!!

Thank you! Thank you!
