The current thoughts in my mind...

I am dreaming of a White Christmas! I am still dreaming...

It's only the last day of February but I feel like I've been working for a long time since the last long break. There are so many things I want to do, but I've got limited time and money.

I wish I could travel the world. I want to visit Egypt. I want to see the pyramid, ride on a camel... I want to go to Japan for a big shopping spree. I miss the onsen. I want to return to America-factory outlets, Disneyland, Grand Canyon and many other places that I want to revisit. I want to go to Australia to visit my relatives and frolic at the beach. I want to go scuba diving at the Maldives before it disappears.

I want to have the whole day to read leisurely and do some scrap booking. There's just too many things I want to do! I have to return to reality. It's back to work. I've got tons to complete on my 'to-do' list. It never seems to be coming to an end.

5G and 5I, what are the things that you have been dreaming of? Do you wish you can have the opportunity to do many other things like me?

P5 Camp

I was rather amazed to see most of you, still, jumping around and talking, even though you had been out under the sun the whole day. The teachers were almost dead. It must be our 'AGE'! This P5 camp reminded me of my past camps when I was in school. I went through almost all that you did plus a few more, such as the flying fox. It was my favourite activity.

Some of you complained about the food and you managed to 'force' yourself to eat them. Some complained about the lack of comfort since there was no air-conditioners and mattresses, but you managed to survive the three days with minimal complaints. I must say, I am really proud of you!

The campfire was a blast! I enjoyed seeing the various groups cheering, dancing and rapping, working together as one, though the time allocated for the preparation was very short.

All of you had done well and I am sure you had lots of fun too.

Please share interesting experiences at the camp. Do not mention names of those who are involved.

What I enjoy doing...

Last year, i saw a scrapbook put together by one of my friends and I got so inspired by it. I decided to try and I got hooked! I became a 'scrapoholic'! I have completed 2 albums thus far. This hobby is really expensive and time consuming. But, at the end of the day, when I looked at my masterpiece, I felt so satisfied. I have yet to have the time to do any scrapbooking since January. I hope to be able to do something during the holidays. I have decided to upload some pictures for you.

5G and 5I, please share your hobby(ies) with all of us.

Have a nice weekend!

Happy New Year!

I am so thankful for this Chinese New Year break. It gave me time to clear piles of work and spend some quality time with my family and friends. I wish I can load some photos for you. Unfortunately, I can't find my camera. I am still waiting for some of you to send me your blog's Url.

Mixed feelings...

Judging from your comments, it seems that most of you are feeling stressed though it's only week 2. I'm concerned. It should not be.

When you feel overwhelmed, remember, the most important thing you should do, is to simply 'DO YOUR BEST'! Take one step at a time, settle the most important task on your list. This is what I have been telling myself when I realised that my 'to-do' list is never coming to an end. When desperate, depressed and helpless, then, PRAY for divine help!

I truly wish and hope that all of you will enjoy your schooling days. Enjoy the presence of your friends around you.

5 Generosity & 5 Initiative 2009

To both classes,

It's been almost 2 weeks since the first day of school. How are you feeling?

I read this comment made on an online article 'parenting network', "Today's children are experiencing a lot more stress than the generations before them because the current society is fast-paced, competitive and full of pressure.". What do you think? Do you agree? Why or why not?
