I found you

After so many years, reading the past posts......I knew I was happier back then.

my flesh is weak

There are so many things to be done
1) Organise dialogue on 13th APril
2) Prepare SEL sharing on 12th April
3) Prepare SEM report in June
4) Set SA 1 Sec 4 Physics Paper
5) Prepare for NE Award Interview
6) Prepare Sexuality Education in 3rd wk May

I cant think of anymore, but I know there are some thing behind some parts of my brain. Work is piling, and I cant seem to finish. SPA physics is a total failure. I seriously think we should revamp our teaching for SPA. How is it possible to squeeze 2 to 3 experiments in 2 period slots. It is too much for the teachers, and esp too over whelming for the students. Why rush when we have the control in our hands? Why are we killing our students by over-exposing them to too many experiments? I find that there isnt much quality learning in those 2 SPA physics periods that I have. I want to protest! I want to fight for a change! I want better teaching ! I want quality of learning and not quantity! She is simply too stuborn, how to improve when we are being led by such a character. I think both of us have a "eight characters" that clashes with each other....whats' why it is so difficult to get through to her...... I feel so little for the department these days, with such bad planning and leadership.
SIgh!

SLC

Finally we have "SOMEWHAT" formalise SLC into words, words that allow others to understand the mission of SLC. With a vision, a leader is on a mission. With this, the SLs and SPSLs, with John, Calvin and Jarren, came out with a vision with the key ideas revolving these few key words "cogent", "respectable", "humility", "moral courage" and "confidence".

I sincerely hope that SLs will take ownership of this SLC since they came out with the mission. The journey will be challenging, no doubt we may face some hicupps....but we will learn and become better. The power of SLC is undoubtedly a useful platform for character education among Victorians. Can you imgaine, if this is done correctly, at least 30% of the school will benefit from this program.... to ensure the success of this program, a monitoring system must be set up!

SLs meeting on Wednesday to finalise SLC's vision, mission, structure, process, resource and monitoring system.... be there.

Contribution to nation building

Oh yes yes...thats the yearly income tax that I have to pay. Seems like a lot this year, and that will definitely affect the monthly budget that I set for the coming months.

First 40k, we have to pay 950 dollars
Nest 40k, whatever less than that, at 8.75%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BROKE!

Valentine

This pot of flowers is from my dar. For 2006, I have a pot of orchid,since then until now it hasnt produced any flowers at all. Instead lots of shoots and leaves...

This year, I got this big pot of dunno-what flowers. Pretty isnt it. And lots of flowers.

From my beloved student leaders. It was delivered to me in school. Arent they a sweet bunch of boys. Thank you so much!

Wishing...

I was pushing Meg for a stroll, came by the junction....pausing for a moment to think where I should go. Eventually ended up where I used to have many fond memories...familiar sight of students training, softballers batting and balls flying everywhere, runners were doing their intervals training...the sounds from the surrounding were all so familiar... that was like when I was back in VJC 12 years back.

I remembered very clearly how everyone celebrated friendship day in VJC. That was one of the most memorable time I ever had when I was a teen. Flowers, bears, letters, cards, songs, laughter, balloons and boys..... I remembered that year, I received a very long letter from Kewinn, my best best friend from VJC. I remember that year I received a bear from my first boyfriend. I remember how the track people went out as a grop to celebrate this day.

We do not live in the past, we live in the present. I guess Colin is going to get me another pot of orchid for Valentine's day. Actually I do prefer anything to roses.... but this time round I hope the flowers from the pot will be purple in colour... I love you dar

A photo of my darling...

A phototaken by Mu Yao. A very nice shot. I have this on all my computers' desktops.

CIP day

Well.... I guess many has lost the idea of Moral Doing in CIP. The system is in such a state where people carried out CIP for the sake of clocking the others.

I was rather disappointed with a boy today. How would it feel like when someone is trying to lose you by running away. It is so drama. For what? What's the intent? Outward rebel? Gesture of rejection? I was trying to connect this incident to God. Hope that He will comfort me. One of the rare time I found myself sobbing in the little corner of the supermarket. Guess that gesture hurts. I find myself once again hurt by my student. Is it worth the effort to feel so much, or to connect with them. And in returns, who really cares about our feelings? I always wonder ... does all this comes in the package in this profession.
