first blog post of the year... 've been reflecting on every aspect of my life recently...
-studies? everything's going rather smoothly...gonna work hard! shall treat studying as a learning process to increase my knowledge and understanding, instead of just an attempt to pull up my CAP! have to keep reminding myself the true purpose of having an education...(:
-friendship? super thankful for all my friends...though my social circle is not exactly very big, but i know that i have friends whom i can rely on and be myself with. and that's more than enough for me!(:
-relationship? glad we're still in our honeymoon period even after almost 22 months!(: (: (: and we'll stay that way forever.(: thank you for being so understanding and sweet and thoughtful...for tolerating all my nonsense...i love you!(:
-family? hahaha. alot to work on. sigh. thankful for those family members who're close to me though...(:
-spiritual walk? struggling...but i'll pull through somehow, by His grace.
-health? I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT. period.

"Doubting people is simply a part of trying to get to know them... 'Trust', that act is without a doubt a very noble one, but you know, what many people do, that they call 'trust' is actually giving up on trying to understand others. and that has nothing to to with 'trust', but is rather Apathy. ... Question them, suspect them, and take a good long look into their hearts."

I must blog about my Esplanade trail with SCGPS!(:
was very excited cos it's my first time conducting a trail for a girls' school...and they were SUPER ANGELIC! ♥ -heart melts-
the standards of discipline and politeness were impressive, they were not afraid to speak up/ask questions when they had doubts to clear, and you could really feel their enthusiasm in learning...I really want to be a teacher who nurtures her students to be like those girls. thankful for this job cos it provides training ground for me to improve my interaction skills with children. (thank you Shirley!^^) I will be a teacher who loves her students and will give a 100% to bring out the best in them!(:
the most touching part of the trail was actually the bus trip back to school...they spontaneously sang the national day song in unison, and it totally put me in a national day mood! such patriotic Singaporeans! :D privileged to be able to facilitate their learning journey.(: I've learnt so much from them.(: ♥

I love it that I always feel super fortunate and blessed after long chats with close friends about relationships. cos after each chat I never fail to realise how beautifully our relationship has developed, to the stage that both of us are so committed to and in love with each other.(: and I really hope that it'll stay that way forever!(: ♥
Yu make my everyday!(: ♥ (nope no typo error!^^)

lessons taken from today's trail:
never have the mindset that your students are lousy/slow when you interact with them! treat them with the same love and expectation as you would with any other student, and the result would be amazing! the most well-behaved/high scoring group that won the prize today happened to be one of the 'most mischievous' group of students according to the teachers' 'knowledge'!(:
glad the students and teachers enjoyed their trail today.(:

and so my work as a playgroup teacher ended last week...dont think i want to take over the primary school EMS teacher when she quits...not confident in teaching science! if it's just teaching math i really dont mind...hmm. and now that i've another job as a trail facilitator, i dont think i can commit as a full time teacher...oh well...but nonetheless i still miss the primary school kids in the studentcare centre...): ♥
regarding my new job, i think the greatest challenge of being a trail facilitator is making sure that every student is paying attention to you...T.T and i thought i did quite a good job for my second trail...but when i read the teacher's feedback, i got quite discouraged.): she mentioned all the flaws and didnt even give a single good comment...): oh well...shall keep improving! jiayou jiayou Eunice!(: keep honing your leadership skills as you go!(: another good thing about this job is the good working environment! everyone's so friendly and helpful!(:
off to Dr Robi's psychology seminar! :D today's topic is 'Relationship Rescue'! :D

The raw fear I had when I fell down the rocky slope and he was far ahead of me...my handphone was in his bag and I had no means to contact him...cried and shouted his name non-stop for 5 minutes...): Was super relieved when I saw him running towards me...will not ever take this sense of security for granted...♥
