Goodbye....

2009-02-24T16:12:00.000+08:00

You may have gone to somewhere far,
but you'll never be forgotten.
God has gave you 2 sons...
Sons who love you very much.
God loves you too
Cos he gave you a husband who took care of you...
Least you found a second love and 2 more children to love you
Whom you spend your last few years with...
I'm sure you're happier

Aunt, you'll never be alone
Cos you're with God now...
Have you seen Grandma?

Food for Thought......

Even if it's a little thing, do something for those who have need of help, something for which you get no pay buit the privilege of doing it.

To my Honey

2009-02-11T05:21:00.000+08:00

Dearest Sweetheart,

It's been a long time since I've blogged..... Do you know why?

It's because of you.... I've forgotten how I spent lonely nights, blogging my time away.....

Now I've no urge to blog cos I've got you..... Someone physical to listen to my woes and happiness as I rattle on and on....... Sometimes I may seem naggy, other times touchy.... and even times when I'm naughty...... trying to be a big baby...... relying on you all the time.

I'm so glad to have you around me everytime I need something....When I'm sick, you're there to care for me. When I'm mad, you are there to be the punch bag and let me throw my tantrum around. hahaa......

It's true that we've got our differences and our quarrels...... but with each day, we grew to know each other better and work towards a better understanding of each other.

With you by my side, everything bad will become not so bad...... haha...... good will become better! :D

Love is a many splendid thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!

My early Christmas Present....... Heee.......... BIG HUGS

Those good old days.....

2008-11-11T12:13:00.000+08:00

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

La La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La La

Those are dreams and dreams they shall be......

Was browsing the pictures taken by Woan San, memories just came flowing back...... Guess these memories will have to be locked up and hidden somewhere deep inside my heart. ("p)

Reba Mcentire - Love is never easy

2008-11-10T04:58:00.000+08:00

Love should be easy
Its such a natural thing
Nothing feels like the feeling
Only love can bring

Love can be laughter
Or heartaches in disguise
You could love a lifetime
And never realize

Chorus:
Love is never easy
Dreams are always hard to hold
Love is never easy
But its more precious than gold
More precious than gold
More precious than gold

Love is forever
Until the day that it ends
Love can just be for lovers
Love can be for friends

So dont give up looking
And dont be afraid to fall
Cause when you find that one love
Youll know its worth it all

Repeat chorus x2

I dun understand why......

2008-10-10T03:57:00.000+08:00

Some people jus like to pass their judgement and opinions without bothering your feelings or even explanation when you wanna give one.....

I wanna do reno of the room this year so that I can oversee the whole thing personally but some people don't understand why I need to do so..... Let me repeat........

I ONLY HAVE DEC AND JUNE HOLIDAYS!!!

YOU TELL ME, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LOOK AFTER THAT WHEN I'M WORKING????? AND MOREOVER, IT'S AN OCCUPIED HOUSE, GET IT???? WHICH MEANS THERE ARE THINGS IN THE HOUSE??? SO IT'S NOT AS SIMPLE AS LEAVING THE KEYS WITH THEM AND ONLY CHECK ON THEM ONCE IN A WHILE?????? IT'S NOT A NEW HOUSE OKAY!

And by next June, I'll have to do photoshoot lah...... otherwise where to FIND time???? blame me for being a teacher then...... Argh.... this is frustrating.....

Random thoughts...

2008-10-02T04:13:00.000+08:00

I was reading San's blog and in the latest entry, she mentioned that "If some1 asked me to marry him and stay with his parents, i think i will..."

Her friend commented that it's easier said than done..... I don't know if it's true.... But I'm willing to take that risk cos I felt that I have the responsibility to do so. If my hubby needs to look after his mother and be filial to her, I must also do so. That's what I would hope that my kids to do when I'm old too. "Jiang xin bi xin"

We cannot be selfish don't you think? I know, many ppl say it's easier for me to say that now but maybe next time, it'll be different..... But I've already made my choice and I'm going to stick to that for better or for worse. You never know until you try right? Must learn to be positive. (",)

Tulips Festival Around the World?????

2008-09-29T05:06:00.000+08:00

Cool! ) It cost us $3K plus....... but the top layer is latex and we have 2 latex pillows and 2 normal pillows....... plus 2 counting sheeps for us to cuddle...... they will be our witness for our wedding day. hahaa....... And we have their bed protector too. But we told them to keep till next Nov when we are going to fix up our bridal bed. :D

Children's Day

2008-09-26T03:41:00.000+08:00

It's Children's Day again..... And I've just spent a lot of $$$ on the kids again... almost $200 worth of stationery and goodies.
I think getting presents for them is a waste sometimes..... esp for my naughty kids who don't deserve anything actually...... but still, I won't deprive them of that. They will get their share..... DUH!

Why I Teach?

2008-09-03T07:52:00.000+08:00

Yea.... a simple question, but indeed...... it's a difficult question to answer.

I have been teaching for 2 years as a trained school teacher and almost 8 years as a tutor. I enjoy being with children and watch them grow and change before my eyes. It's amazing how they change so much in jus a span on 1 year and how much they've learnt. My students sometimes boost my morale with their jokes and laughters but often than not, they are the ones who made me angry and mad...... haa..... How I love to hate them but after the anger is gone, all was forgotten..... Until they make me MAD again.

But I am sure you will agree with me that remembering just the good things will make all the work and effort put in worthwhile.....

Teachers, just remember, someone, somewhere out there will appreciate your efforts some day. HUGS.

Happy Teacher's Day!!! (",)

Especially for you.... My dearest....

2008-08-20T07:54:00.001+08:00

Especially for you
I wanna let you know what I was
Going through
All the time we were apart I thought
Of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same

Especially for you
I wanna tell you I was feeling that
Way too
And if dreams were wings, you
Know
I would have flown to you
To be where you are
No matter how far
And now that I'm next to you

No more dreaming about
Tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I've got to say
It's all because of you

And now were back together,
Together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you

Especially for you
I wanna tell you, you mean all the world to me
How I'm certain that our love was
Meant to be
You changed my life
You showed me the way
And now I’m next to you

I've waited long enough to find you
I wanna put all the hurt behind you
And I wanna bring out the love
Inside you, oh and
Now were back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you

You were in my heart
My love never changed
And now that I'm next to you
No more dreaming about
Tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the
Sorrow
I've got to say
It's all because of you

Ohh...... And he drew these for me......

Tulip just for ME... So sweet.....

Darling says there isn't any tulip like this in the whole world......

cos it has shades of red, yellow and purple....

Reminds me of Rainbow Town. ;)

My sweet boyfriend.....

2008-08-07T22:33:00.006+08:00

Darling surprised me with a bouquet of tulips today......

And he has a card with roses saying:

Dear Darling,

I always felt so happy with you. The time we have spent together is always so enjoyable and I wish it was longer. :P I love the way you are and I always felt the connection with you. I love you, my dearest S*****, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you and always be there for you. .............

From: T*****

Haaa...... * stands for our nicknames. :P

But well...... Still no proposal in sight. haha.......

Been busy of late..... frustrated n all but my darling's always there to give me support. Muack! :D

And my secret pal has been sweet.... thanks!

Sweet Darling.....

2008-07-02T00:27:00.000+08:00

For you.... My Love

2008-06-26T08:15:00.005+08:00

A gentle word of concern,
Brightens up my world
Every little loving gestures,
Made my heart twirled

You lighted up my life
Gave me warmth and hope.
Your words are always filled with sweet honesty
Caring for me regardless rain or shine.

Your understanding ways
Made things go smooth.
You gave me the strength to face all challenges
By supporting me in everything that I do.

It's your existence that changed my life
It's YOU that made me whole
And now I'm no longer alone
I'm with you, together as ONE.

-- Miracle Sotong

Awww.... isn't he sweet?? =P

2008-06-17T21:41:00.001+08:00

Love is like a cloud...

love is like a dream...

love is 1 word and everything in between...

love is a fairytale come true...

Coz I found love when I found U.

Hi there.......

It's been a long time since I've blogged...... Haa.......

School's been busy. I've been kept pretty busy too. Sigh...... And it still is.......

But perhaps, the fruit of our labour do make us strive to work harder...... though we complained a lot too. haaa.......

Here's a peek at what our parents are doing to contribute to the moulding of our pupils too:

Hello

2008-05-26T03:05:00.001+08:00

It has been a long and exhausting semester. I was busy with school every single day. And as i grumble about how i have to handle this challenging class of mine, i also learnt that there a lot of opportunities for me to work on how to nurture them. Every single child is different. Every child is unique and special in their own ways. They enrich my teaching experience and taught me patience. There will be times when i'm lost as to how i should handle them or how they never seem to listen. These struggles allow me to take a step back to reflect and think of possible solutions and train myself to be more patient and perseverant. Perhaps that's what god wants in me.

May I present to you....... Mr. and Mrs Chan!! :D

2008-05-12T01:16:00.002+08:00

Congrats!

Wishing the both of you a blissful marriage

filled with love, trust and understanding.

Here's a TOAST to both of you!

Cheers!

Two Less Lonely People in the World

2008-01-31T02:08:00.000+08:00

I was down my dreams were wearing thin
When you're lost where do you begin
My heart always seemed to drift from day to day
Looking for the love that never came my way

Then you smiled and I reached out to you
I could tell you were lonely too
One look and then it all began for you and me
The moment that we touched I knew that there would be

CHORUS
Two less lonely people in the world
And it's gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just can't believe you're mine
In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now there's two less lonely people
In the world tonight

Just to think what I might have missed
Looking back how did I exist
I dreamed, still I never thought I'd come this far
But miracles come true, I know 'cause here we are

CHORUS

Tonight I fell in love with you
And all the things I never knew
Seemed to come to me somehow
Baby, love is here and now there's

CHORUS

Dedicated to my dearest......

Whoever says teaching primary 1 kids is a breeze will sure get it from me! It's super tiring!!!! But then, some of them can be quite cute.....

I sure miss my 1M though..... everytime i see them in sch, I feel like asking them for a big bear hug...... really.... I really miss them a lot. But I have to cut myself away from them.

They are not going to be my form class.... Maybe unless I request to teach Primary 3 next year. hehee.......

Anyway, my current class is a whole group of terrorists......... Stress

Do it anyway

2007-12-21T11:30:00.000+08:00

I'm blogging this again as a reminder to us that whatever we do, we should always remember these wise words by Mother Teresa. She's my role model. ;) And she still is......

This is the version found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.
Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.
Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway

Looking back @ 2007 & Resolutions for 2008

2007-12-21T10:46:00.000+08:00

Yep...... After reading Chelsea's aka Lishan's blog entry, I decided that I should pen these down too..... Shan Shan, I'm not so efficient as you lah. Somehow I've been LaZyIng Around. :P

Hmmm...... Let's see...... What are my 2007 resolutions ah?? Hmmm..... Memory failing me. I checked my Dec 2006 entry.... and this was wad I wrote:

"My New Year resolution.... not to make any resolutions I cannot acheive. haha.....

Ok, I wish that 2007 will be a better year than 2006. Jus wish that everything will be smooth and everyone around me will be happy and healthy. I guess it's back to basics.... Health and Happiness are the most important elements of life. ;) "

Shan, I don't have many high and ambitious resolutions like yours......

2007 has been a challenging period for me. This is my first FULL year as Qualified Form Teacher. Haha....... the one I did in that secondary sch not counted, the one in 2006 not counted.
This one is the first time I took my class from nothing to what they've achieved at the end of the year. I'm not afraid to say that I'm very proud of my class this year and they've done me proud in many ways. They may not be the BEST in the level in terms of academic work but I'm sure they are one of the best behaved class and that's what I want them to achieve.... Honestly, academic is not the outmost important aspect in a person. I don't need a student who is academically good but have no moral values. Of cos there are some naughty ones in my class but they are still my little bundle of joy.

And I'm thankful for all the help and friendship I've got from my fellow colleagues. They have been my pillar of support this entire year. THANKS!!! :D

Other than my own class and work, I can't remember any achievements leh.....

For my friends, I really felt sorry and guilty for not being able to "cough" out time for them. Meetings or gatherings with them are always limited to birthdays mostly. Sometimes, I do miss them...... Miss the fun and laughter. But I guess we all grow up and sometimes work can hinder us..... :(

Oh...... and I'm glad I get to travel with my mummy again...... :D

Well, I'm also thankful for having a very understanding boyfriend. Yea... He's not exactly the outgoing guy or the party animal or someone who's full of hunour....... Sometimes, I don't really understand him.... But wad do I understand about guys anyway? :P Nonetheless, he's my little bundle of joy too. I glad he's always there for me. I do feel guilty when I don't have time to spend with him....... I always do things as and when I please, do whatever I like to do........ Am still learning to include him into my own lifestyle..... I guess I need to learn how to compromise more and listen more. Darling, thank you for tolerating this crazy girl....... She's a little screw loose sometimes and she tends to be over-emotional at times...... She's got a wild imagination harder to catch sometimes. :P

2008 Resolutions!!!

Well, basically, fulfill my roles.

I just wanna do my best as a teacher.
Fulfill my role as a daughter.
Spend more time with my boyfriend.
Spend more time with my friends hopefully.
Do more volunteer work to help others around me.

Wishes for 2008

Everyone to be happy.
Go overseas with my darling.... ("p)
Learn dancing with my darling..... (Waiting for him to grant me this wish. Hee)

Dear friends

The year is about to come to an end.

Time to count my blessings and for all the good things.

Thank you for being there in times of need and for the friendship you've showered upon me.

I really appreciated all your kindness and concern for me.

For being so accomodating to me.

For helping me.

For listening to me.

May all your wishes and hopes for 2008 come true.

Hugs and kisses,

Joyce (",)

The Whole City is Dancing

2007-12-14T11:04:00.000+08:00

I don't know why you hesitate
Everytime you are near me
It is that you fear
You might fall into something deep

Standing on the edge of the night
Feelings raging inside
But if you open your eyes

Can you see the fireflies dancing in the air
Like the stars up in the sky
Feel the gentle breeze caress the night
Oh, it's time to take to flight
Take my hands I'll lead you to the places where
I am sure you've never been
So just hold me close and we will go
This is how it all begins

When you say Nothing at all - Alison Krauss

2007-12-07T21:19:00.000+08:00

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

台湾之旅

2007-12-06T08:38:00.000+08:00

Okay.... I'm lazy as it is to take pictures.... when it comes to touring with groups, I don't like taking pictures cos everybody is rushing to take pictures........ and I hate having to queue....... ya..... I dunno why singaporeans love to do that......
I will only do that if I HAVE to...... :P

So please bear with my broken entries cos I also cannot remember wad I did on the 8 days trip. Very tiring if I have to think about the details. ;)

My diary stops at 2nd day anyway..... (ya... bring to write but never write... that's how lazy. But I jus eat eat eat. haha........)

Anyway, I think I'll go back Taiwan again soon...... This time round, I wanna go free and easy. Will roam about and take pictures of food! hahaa.......

Day 1

Met our tour guide, Betty. She's a very capable woman...... With a cert in Chinese Medicine and a western cert as a qualified nurse. She speaks 19(eh... that's the number i remembered.... should be correct la) different languages and knows Fengshui. She's also a shareholder of a hotel in Kaohsiung. (HHG) If you wanna know more about her, I can tell you when I see you. But I would say, she's an amazing woman. Probably one of the most knowledgeable tourguide you'll find.

We're supposed to go to the hotel to check in but Betty decided to bring us try the famous 淡水阿给。 It's fried beancurd with dongfen.... very nice! Oh... she treated us to that.....
Also, we went to Lover's Bridge and Fisherman's Wharf (where they filmed 流星花园) All I remember was the strong wind and feeling cold though..... looks nice at night lah, but not when the cold wind is blowing lah..... how to feel romantic? ("p)

Day 2

We went to see 野柳。 It is located at Wanli of Taipei county. IT is a long cape formed by Datun Mountain, reaching into the sea. Yeliu is full of seawater eroded holes as well as numberous rocks in the shape of mushroom, candlewick, ginger and chessboard etc....

We then proceed on to 九份. Famous for its Mochi...... (or Mua Chi) wadever you call it..... haaa...... and I always wonder why bro likes it so much. Now I know..... I ate one whole packet by myself. :P It's soft and chewy and it's very fragrant. Yummy!!! And the 果冻 is different from the ones we eat here too.

Went to see the Aboriginal Cultural Show by Amei Zu.....

Day 3

Hualien
Went to the Eternal Spring Shrine. Cool! Nice scenery...... Then we went to Lingzhi Specialty Store to get ourselves Lingshi.... cos we want eternal life too..... hahaa....... ohh, and I learnt that 千年灵芝 means the lingzhi is grown on trees that are a thousand years old and not because it is a thousand years old. thousand years old lingzhi CANNOT be consumed..... the good ones are those grown on thousand years old trees and are grown for 5 years. Oh, apparently, it can cure headaches and migraines....... Aunty Amelia, maybe u should try that. :)

Hee.... then went to hot spring for a dip in the water. Shiok! esp when the weather is cold......

The hotel is also nice nice..... Zi Zi Hua Yuan Shan Zhuang.

Day 4

Taitung

Went Fo Guang Shan..... A buddhist temple. Very famous..... The vegetarian food there is heavenly...... Really.... no joke. :)

Went Meinong Hakka Village. Tried their tea ( mixture of green tea, sesame paste and peanut paste) Don't really fancy that. But the Ban Tiao (fried noodles) not bad..... :)

Then proceed to Pearl Culture Centre...... learnt quite a lot. Never knew pearl can be used to cure cataract too... and thyroid...... hmm....... and of cos, good for complexion. :) Bought myself a pair of REAL pearl earrings.

Went on to 高雄。Dream Mall (Shopping Centre) with this huge Hello Kitty Ferris Wheel. I'm not interested in Hello Kitty...... the cat with no mouth..... so I basically went KLKK (Kia Lai Kia Ke) in the mall lah......

Then finally to Liuhe Night Market....... EAT. me and mummy ate red bean soup with tangyuan, seafood porridge (shiok.... got sotong, oyster, prawns, crab claws etc), curry fish ball sticks, dumplings.... erm.... wad else did I eat? Cannot remember...... oh, cuttlefishball soup. heee......

Day 5

Alishan (Ali Mountain I called it.... hee..... cos it reminds me of Uncle Ali..... :P)

Went Ali Mountain..... and guess what, it's SUPER COLD....... Brrrr...... Saw their Sister's Lake, Shen Mu etc......

Then we went to Dongpu. Another mountain beside Ali mountain...... There got Hot spring..... Me never go play there...... too tired....... jus had hot spring bath in my room and went orh orh koon....... the journey up the Ali Mountain was tiring...... coming down equally tiring..... then up Dongpu ..... gosh...... mountains...... anyway, yes, nice view but you know me lah, feel like puking when it comes to such curvy turvy roads up the mountains...... but thank goodness, the driver is fantastic....... experienced drivers do make a difference. I don't feel sick most of the time. Could still stay awake and no giddy spells.

Oh..... I saw wad you know??? Roast PIG...... HUGE PIG.........being roasted. apparently, it's some festival or for prayers..... the tribes are celebrating lah....... manz...... see already, feels eeky....... poor pig.

But the place is COLD...... my room no aircon leh...... but it's COLD. haha........ and finally, don't have to wake up @ 5am to be on the road...... wake up @ 8am........ But the stupid rooster..... started doing his cock-a-doo-doo all morning....... resulting in me not being able to sleep!!!!!!! Angry you know.......

Day 6

Went to get fresh grapes from the Fruit Ranch. Got craving for red wine. :P

Sun Moon Lake.
WenWu Temple.
Erm.........I remember nothing..... :P

Peacock Garden. Hmm...... they say ah, if you see the peacock open its feathers, you'll be lucky! and it really happened before..... people striked 4D because of that..... and these peacocks are sure PROUD. They HARDLY open their feathers.......

Went to the Aboringinal Products Shop...... to get their Wild Honey, Royal Jelly etc....... Ohh....... I didn't tell ya hor..... Royal Jelly, honey etc must eat BEFORE meal....... then you'll be slim. Eat AFTER meal will make you more hungry. And then you'll eat again..... resulting in...... putting on WEIGHT............ now I know why I always have supper....... See lah....... :X

No wonder they say royal jelly best taken early in the morning when tummy is empty...... there's a REASON one leh....... Why didn't I know that earlier???

Ohh........ Pollen Powder can reduce cellulite...... It's natural and good for the body k. Don't say I never share the secret to a slim and healthier you...... ("p) Haa.

Ryannie........

2007-11-25T09:09:00.000+08:00

When can I hear you sing again????????? You can dance......... lalalalaa......

Wink wink....... Aunty Amelia, you know what you need to do right? :P

On HoLiDaY

2007-11-25T07:25:00.000+08:00

Yup!!! You're right........ I'm HAPPY to be having this long deserved break. Imagine the amount of work we have the ENTIRE year.......... :P

The school year has officially come to an end........ Not that I'm any happier letting go of my class cos they've been really angels and of cos there are a few whom I am happy to stay away from. But still....... if given a choice, I wouldn't mind them cos I've gotten so used of them......... They sort of made my life more interesting? Hee...... I'm gonna miss Jesmine you know...... yeah, she got me hopping mad sometimes with her non-sensical-humour-madness-what-not......... But she's also a very SWEET and cute sometimes........ On the last day of school, guess what she did?? She came to me, gave me a hug (2 times in fact) and then gave me a pat on my head....... and said "Miss Ye, I love you and I miss you already." And she almost teared...... I was touched...... The class laughed cos she's the only one who came and pat my head.... (so daring sia..... :Pp) Hee....... But it's her innocence that made her so different from the rest. It may be a good thing......

The P1 orientation did not make things any better......... I have special needs students again..... Oh well, God, are you trying to train my patience?? Cos I can feel that I'm gonna be exhausted and burnt out again.... even before the year officially started.

Well in any case, I'm just thankful that the year has come to an end and I can start everything anew again. I can finally look forward to my well deserved break. And there's NO more marking now!!! Aren't I a lucky girl? haaa....... BUT I'm BORED trying to find things to do........ Not that I've got nothing to do..........But I just ain't in the mood to do any work........ I just want to PLAY :P

Goodbye my Darlings.....

2007-11-14T15:44:00.000+08:00

Was kinda upset when I finally got the "official annoucement" that I'll not be following up my own class.
I've grown really attached to them and I know I will miss them a lot.
As I told them that I'll not be taking them next year,

I was almost on the verge of tearing.......

I will miss my darlings so much.....

They have grown up so much from the first day I took them

And I've grown with them too.......

As I look back my entire year with them,

I am thankful that I've gotten a very sensible class.

They've been very good pupils on the whole and I'm proud of my class.

Sobs..... :'(
