On the actual day, I started my day with a pleasant surprise of my husband taking leave to spend the day with me! =) Ate my favourite KFC breakfast! =)

Went home and opened the remaining gifts! (not nice to open in school so brought back some to open) Totally enjoyed reading the cards~ One of my P5 kid gave me a bag! The bear cup are just timely too! many notebooks and post-its! my students sure know me well! Oh and there's this very classy card holder! love it too!

To a God who is always near.

Where would I be without you?
Where would I go without you?
I need you, Lord.

Take me deeper
Deeper in love with You.
Jesus hold me close in Your embrace.
Take me deeper
Deeper than I've ever been before
I just want to love you more and more.
How I long to be deeper in love.

Oh Lord, thank you.
Thank you so much for pulling me back in time.
Seriously, I would not want to go anywhere without you again..
Thank you for always being near.
Thank you, Lord.

A song that brought many things to light..

Beautiful
I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You're beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It's all proclaiming who you are
You're beautiful

I see you there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now you are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You're beautiful

When we arrive at eternity's shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We'll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together
and we'll singYou're beautiful

I see Your face, I see Your face, I see Your face
You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

Yee Ann is back and the RVHS netball girls are gonna be meeting up after my net on Friday. =)

Really can't wait to meet up.

a Decade long friendship.

Joy . Sweat . Tears

We always say when we were younger that we will always meet up, even until we are pushing our baby prams to our meet-ups! Now i'm married, esther will be getting married too. Soon, all will. Next time we will teach our girls how to play netball BUT we'll not let weili the mother hen do it, cos she'll torture our kids like how she trained us last time! hahaha.. =)

Anyhow, can't say how much I love you girls.

Thanks for making RV days the best schooling days ever! =)

To my Secondary 3 Higher Chinese Teacher:
韩老师！这次是我最后一次实习。6月就毕业开工了！特别想要跟您说：谢谢你！你是一位非常优秀的华文老师。小时候感染了您的热忱，让我对教学感兴趣，对华文更是有股不可言喻的爱。这一次实习，得了最高荣誉的优等。是超超超超级难得到的。其实也没想过会有机会，只是一直很认真地把书教好，很想要小朋友们和我一样喜欢华文。=)谢谢您那时写的推荐信。谢谢您启发了一位小女生，想要和您一样，教育下一代。=)

From my Secondary 3 Higher Chinese teacher:
恭喜恭喜！我就想呢，一定是成绩太优异了，才有这么多的视学，因为我知道你不可能不及格（只有特优生及特差生才需要视学得那么频繁嘛）。其实我得要谢谢你们才对，没有你们这一班可爱的学生，我也不会这么喜欢教学啦。所谓教学相长，我从你们身上学到的，绝对不会比你们从我这里学到的少。有幸教到像你这样聪颖伶俐的学生，是我的福分。还好你会继续教育事业，因为我今后应该不会回到前线作教育工作，而是转战教育行政工作了。有幸培育出一个优秀的华文老师，我也不枉教了几年书了。教育是一场马拉松，你才刚刚起步，还有很长的路要走，加油加油！

Thank you God for the many good chinese teacher whom you have placed in my life.. =)

Watched Star Awards while marking my P5 class' compo and so many times i nearly cried.
Not because who and who won and who and who didn't but because our God is so greatly glorified in the whole show.

So many of the artists gave glory to God when they were giving their thank you speech.

Chew Chor Meng's thank you speech really touched my heart..

He quoted Isaiah 40:31,
"but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

And he who is suffering from muscle dystrophy said that God is going to heal him and he gives all glory and honour to his Lord and God.

It was powerful because he used to be a very devoted buddhist. I have read so many articles on him talking about fengshui, about him reading a lot of books on buddhism and he even mentioned that he want to be a monk or something.

However, now he stood in front of national TV, declaring proclaiming his faith in our Lord and Saviour, telling the nations that our God is a God who can heal and bring comfort and peace. It is powerful.

I remembered when he first announced that he is suffering from muscle dystrophy, I mentioned to someone that i felt sad that he can't be recover cos he was a buddhist and only our God can heal. I even said how i wish someone invites him to GNS. I mumbled a short prayer for him about someone telling him about God then. Not with a lot of passion but just hoped and wished and told God.

Xiang yun, Zheng ge ping, Jessica Liu and many many others thanked God last night too..

God honours those who honours Him.

This is awesome.

God, you are awesome.

NO WORDS ARE FULLY DESCRIBE HOW I AM FEELING NOW.

I am done with ALL my 11 lesson observations.

Today I have only one word to describe God:
MY FAITHFUL SUPERNATURAL GOD.

Was so anxious and disorientated since last night! but God has shown Himself always faithful and reliable. Always supportive and encouraging. Always giving me the strength i need.

This is THE MOST IMPORTANT observation any trainee teacher will go through..
I am glad I am able to glorify God by doing well in what I am doing, hand in hand with Him.

The moderator gave good comments and he told me I should be confident as I did well.

All I can say is...
I am safe in God's hands. =)

my fren marked the corrections and wrote 阅 to indicate read and the kid thought that it is a word he wrote wrongly and he wrote beside 阅阅阅.
my another friend just told me, a kid wrote 大家的大wrongly and 方便的便wrongly and he wrote for correction,大便大便大便.
Still got tons of these funny stuff! i'm gonna collate and publish it! hahahah

1 red pen a wk.
35 more compo scripts. =)
