down but with chop chop

Yes, it's a new post again. I am not feeling well today. An irritation in my nose and throat since last night. Must have caught the virus from the bus. You know those uncles and aunties cough and sneeze not covering their mouths. Then, the press bell and hand rails full of bacteria and germs. It will be a miracle if I hadn't got it.

One of the worse is that I got to endure the bitterness taste of the malaria tablet. Even sweet treats cannot cover the horrible feeling. I seriously don't enjoy thursday now.

Luckily, there's one thing that could cheer me up now. My pet chop chop. How I wish it was real.. It insisted to drink the sparkling pear juice but I've only got one. That's a naughty one, he don't even want to play the ball. Hehe.

Yep that's chop chop! See the only poo he gave me.

It'll be soon.

What a week I had. Been working almost everyday but fortunatelyI still have time to spare. Luckily I still have The Chronicles of Narnia to accompany me when I'm bored. Not a bad book afterall. I played with my pet society pet, chop chop and I found his first poo. Hurray! I gave him so much "luxury" food yet he took so long. What a wait...

The ocp meeting today was delivering the English and IT lessons as a trial run. The English lessons developed was a success. I do enjoyed it and have a great laugh throughout the whole lesson. Leaving for Laos in a week's time..

Lots of things are happening, I not sure what's more to come, but I hope I can face them with courage and intelligence. Sometimes, I do feel I'm not as capable as I thought though.

Sometimes I do really miss the times when we have fun. Impossible to turn back time, Why not look forward and do your best.

Brother & Sister

Today I had a wonderful day. Met my brother and went for dinner together. It was quite some time since we both hang out. Thought of buying shoes from the converse sales but gave up the idea in the end. Due to the urgent submission of the medical exam report for the OCP, my brother accompanied me to school. I brought him around the school, like a tour guide. The view of the location near mensa was just breath-taking. Hardly can I see it. Maybe it's because it is whom you see it with.



After strolling at bedok reservoir, we went bedok interchange. Walking around aimlessly and hestitating what to have for dinner, we both decided burger king. To our dismay, it was closed for renovation. Sigh. Finally agreeing to something, then like that. We went library to restore our sore feets and I managed to borrow The Chronicles of Narnia. Woohoo. Next, we went the hawker centre to eat. My brother ordered curry chicken noodles, which tasted alot like peanut, while I ate the duck rice set. The morale of this is called, chicken hand duck foot (ji shou ya jiao). Lol. I really enjoyed myself today.

2.9kg of reader digest, that's really heavy. Am I really going to put THOSE in my lugage?

Library meeting

I went to school eariler yesterday to sort out the donated books which we are bring to Laos. That was the first meeting (or the only meeting) for the library team. Overall, I felt the meeting has given me a chance to know the other team mates better. The interactions were good and I enjoyed it. Though the library team is small, but I think it's a good start. Hope things will get better for me.

The books that have been approved.

I went Bugis for dinner and dessert. The name of the dessert shop was funny. Ahh ahh "Ah Chew" dessert shop. I think it creative and easy to remember thanks to yuli. The mango sago I had was nice. But what I like was the toilet wash basin. One word, traditional.

Cheers Fireman!!

Woohoo. Today FLSM site visit to SCDF training academy was really an experience for me. The live fire that I don't or won't come across so easily was indeed too "hot" to handle. I realised the importance of fire safety and the consequences and damages it can bring. Now the firemen are the greatest of all. Here are some pictures to share.

The fire roll over.

First Aid lesson :)

back again with mixed feelings

Around 3 weeks. I will be at Laos. I do not really feel excited about it nor anticipate what will take place over there. The few meetings had let me taste what is it like. Honestly speaking, I do enjoy what I am doing to contribute to this outreach. But somehow I just have mixed feeling. I am not really sure what is the main cause for it. Maybe there's lots of them or it's just that I'm thinking too much. Intiatially, most of us sign up for this trip but because of reasons only a few of us are going. I felt quite "sian" after that but I asked myself if I'm going there to help then I should have a positive attitude to serve. For that time, that was my motivation. Soon after the meetings, I saw that many of the students actually knew each other and moon had taught them before. Once again, I felt "sian". In total, there are about 40 students going excluding teachers. The group is considered big and the worse can be forseen- Cliques. Now I feel hardly motivated. But I kept encouraging myself everything is going to be ok, just don't think too much and don't give pressure to myself. I remembered something very meaningful of what moon said. That we should humble ourself and not putting ourself as the best one.

I want to feel looking forward to everything.

Put me to the test.
