I am grateful for Your faithfulness.

1. it is extremely cold at hbf macdonalds
2. there was a fight at seah imm today. scary people.
3. i dont understand whats so fun/cool about tattoos and fights.
4. the fight involved some chicken rice eater and the chicken rice stall people and evetually the indian stall and malay stall came to help the chicken rice stall people to fight the chicken rice eater.
5. wah. just realised that the fight so multi racial.
6. singaporeans sat there continue eat their chicken rice and watch the fight.
7. I saw a toddler sitting in those basket people push to the market. so cute.
8. I saw a mother strap those velcro strap thing around her child and walk her like a dog=.=
9. it's freezing here and deon bought me a jacket. so sweet. dont know where the jacket came from though.
10. deon is colour blind. he bought a green pen when he wanted black one and i went back to exchange it for him in case he gets the blue one instead.
=) hello deon can you see this? =) im such a horrible girlfriend. awesome.

irritation

it annoys me when people make fun of my course. when people still possess that lousy stereotype mind that early childhood educators are useless and its just taking care of babies. hello. please. you think so easy you come and try it out. dont tell me that im learning nonsense or nothing. come try and teach one day and or join me in class for a week.

it irritates me that people doesnt recognise the importance of early education. come talk to me about it and i make sure i give you a whole sense of jean piaget, lev vygotsky, howard gardner, arnold gesell, sigmund freud. i can tell you about holistic development, inclusion, biological and socialcultural influences. early educators are not nannies okay. we are handling lives and we are nuturing lives. i take pride in what im learning and doing now.

i respect people for what they learn and what they do. im sure they have their own challeges and purpose. so i simply cant stand it when people look down on what im passionate about, and smirk. ech is NOT nonsense if you have no idea how tough it is, stop commenting on how peanuts it is.

and it frustrates myself when i cannot be decisive about my decisions. when i cannot make a stand to myself about what i want and should be done. when i shouldnt be worrying or caring about certain things but i end up being worried all the same. roars.

random

this is really random im just keeping myself occupied to stay awake in class.

=) i think we humans are funny things. now that things are slightly slower, i find it so mundane and BORING.

been lazy to come around, iphone should have the function to upload photos for blogging. this month has been exciting with my trip to hatyai, went NDP and flyers with deon, and went up marina bay sands=) but im just too lazy to blog the photos here.

but you know, i wish that life was this slow all the time. one reason why i truly enjoyed my trip at hatyai is largely because i did not have to worry about school assignments or any responsibility, but to simply slow down my pace.. to admire the things, the sights around me. simplicity is contentment. at hatyai it was like, we did not have to bind ourselves to time.

my next break will be in october. by then, i would have to start my work to fulfil my bond for my scholarship. so not exciting. sometimes i really dread growing up. its interesting how i used to say "when i grow up" yahdaaa but now that im "up", i dont really know anymore.

haha sometimes i want to turn back time, sometimes i want to fast it forward. what's on my mind now? secondary school. those days were love. i had so much fun. i think about my friends in poly (now that theres an exciting conversation about crabs) and how suddenly everyone is like in their own new world.. and how in five years time, i wonder how it'll be like.

Reality

Suddenly my one week break feels like a dream. Sigh. I had the best break ever (until ytd when I realised that I haven't done my readings.boo.)

symposium was amazing despite it all. Am glad it's over, still.
drama was hmm, not bad.

Then came my long awaited BREAK! Dad,sis and I made some last minute plans to go Thailand, hatyai. My real holiday since a really long time, and it really helps that the currency rate was low so we had a great time shopping, exploring arnd. Awesome. Could see the hands of God in every little things that fell so nicely into place=) am glad to be back, but sighh I really miss how I can slow down for once, not think about anything ANYTHING and just enjoy.

And yups. Remaining days were good for waking up late, glee, time with family and deon. Happy, satisfied.
NDP was kinda boring-er this year. No fancy displays of planes and boats=( plus it was really lame that the fireworks were behind the blue sector=.= dots to the max. But I enjoyed the time alone with HB.

School is back. It's horrible knowing it's back. Especially when it's Tuesday, it's raining now, great time to be in bed and when the entire Singapore is having an extra day of holiday.

Tell me about it.. The amount of readings.. Assignments. Sighh. Welcome back to reality mel.
