Need Strength...

Right now,
I am very troubled
for tomorrow's observation.

I've no idea why I was so relaxed for the previous ones
I should have faith that my Form 4 KP2 will cooperate
and they will be able to construct sentences with phrasal verbs
It shouldn't be difficult, right?

time to prepare the materials
update my Rekod Pengajaran Harian
update my portfolio
write my journal
and..
have a good early sleep.

Ah...
Practicum...
As much as I hope 20th May will approach soon
I think i will be very sad to leave my students,
notably the Form 1KS and Form 4 KP2

I pray that you all will be successful in the future
be good and play your role as a student
shine for the Lord~

as I too,
am playing my role as your teacher
forgive me if i didn't meet up to your expectations
and thanks once more,
for being my wonderful children at school :)

My Good God (^_^)

So tired of feeling anxious of my coming observation that I repeatedly edit my lesson plan. What a waste of anxiety! That is when God shows His great love to me again: (^_^)

Friends, trust the Lord. He answers to our prayers and He knows what is troubling us even before we call for His help...  Praise the Lord (^_^)

On this day of your life, Silverin, we believe God wants you to know ... that your remedy for anxiety is the question: 'Will this matter in a year from now?'
Message from God
All too often you get so involved in things that you look at life through a microscope. Amplifying manifold, an invisible speck becomes an insurmountable mountain. Put down the microscope and imagine yourself a year from now looking back at today: 'Does this really matter?'

Dreaming of Singapore, again (^_^)

Jurong Bird Park
 These unorganized pictures show my current state of mind: wanting to go to so many places.... haha. I'm not a big fan of birds, but seeing beautiful and colourful creations like this surely makes me happy~ Therefore, this is a to-go place for me :)

teaching point: tendons?
 ligaments, tendons etc... I think i've returned 50% of biology to my teacher. I remember cynthia told me, all those Biology facts came to sense after she visited Singapore's Science Centre.  Hallelujah! A solid reason for me to bring my children to singapore~! --> Education purpose! haha...

Snow World @ Science Park
 Touching snow has always been my childhood dream.  I've been to a few man-made snow world, but experiencing real snow flakes and skiing would be totally different~! Bila la...

Welcome to Singapore
 This might be the view from Singapore Flyer huh? Ah....i feel safe walking on the streets as early as 2am in the morning...
Jurong Bird Park Performance
 I love zoos! I'd strongly recommend the one is Thailand.  The shows are awesome and memorable. I remembered volunteering and lie down on the ground to be massaged by the baby elephant using its trunk. Ah... Vacations dream while working..haha~! :)

Science Centre

Hulallal!
 The picture says it all ya? Wow, i missed Genting!! Currently waiting for kaki(s) to go to Universal Studio.

oo.so they have this kinda games/sports inside!
Now i missed Sunway Lagoon! haha...The first time i entered Sunway Lagoon was with family (primary 2), and the last time with friends (Year 2 TESL).

Oh, that's all folks.  Another 10 mins to prepare for a relief class...Ah...how nice is there is another week of holiday in April~ Guess i've to patiently wait till my practicum ends go mid May, talking about celebrating Teacher's Day and my birthday~!! Wahaha... I'm such a dreamer~! :P

Thanks for reading people; my pleasure to share wonderful stories/pictures~ May God bless you all ~! :)

Marina Bay Sands. Clarke Quay. Sentosa Island. Night Safari.

Durian will always be one of my favourite fruit, despite making me sick.

Checked-in at Royal Backpakers, $95 for this room :)
Gonna start earning my first salary this July, hope I could afford more luxurious hotels.  After all, vacation is for us to relax and enjoy~

Senior Yvonne. 
 She flew all the way from Kuching to revisit Singore and JB. See, she's started working, so, she can afford to stay 3 days at Singapore, while the 3 of us have to come back, dried, at12:30AM. haha.

Cynthia, my one and only Melanau friend :)
 Happy for her! As she's met her prince charming.  Whenever she mentions about her bf, I can see the happiness in her eyes! All the best Cyn~! :)

Bestie Yvonne!
 This is the countless trip we 2 have traveled to Singapore.  I thank God for such a blessing to have you throughout these 6 years of tertiary education.  It is at times like this (I'm sick), that i recall how you took care of me when i was sick back in hostel. Thanks dear~

JaJangMyun! 
 Darling's favorite! Brought him to Jade Pot Tea House the other day, but he said it doesn't taste like the Korean JaJangMyun he once cooked with his Korean mate.  Talking about satisfying a man's appetite...haha!

Yes, i finished the bowl of beef noodle, alone! :)
 The moment i saw this dish on the menu, my mind ran back to Taiwan trip.  The Taiwanese Beef Noodle is once again, way better than this.  Another good reason for me to revisit Taiwan.   :) I thought I covered many places in Taiwan during the 21days camp, but nah, there are so many food and places i have yet to try~

Flyer!  Entering Marina Bay Sands~
 Amir had introduced me Marina Bay Sands the other day.  Only when I entered this zone, i felt 'awed', by their building structures. I don't know much about architecture, but i know these pleases my eyes~ Haha!

Saw the ship on top of the building?
 Guess what? They have this 'infinity' swimming pool! Entrance to sky park is $20, and we don't even get to have a dip in the swimming pool...one day, perhaps when i won jackpot, i would spend a night or two at this hotel :)

Marina Bay's Casino took my $4, so i sipped his 2 cups of milo & 2 bottles of water :P
 Super cold inside, thanks to Ida for reminding me to wear jacket, and thanks to Yvonne for lending me her shawl :)  When i entered, i can't find any smiling faces.  The place is crowded, we took 1 hour to find senior yvonne.  Why are people paying so much and wasting so much time to be disappointed and sad... How many will truly win alot? I don't know.  Anyway, it's an eye-opener for me :)

Apparently, i have yet to enter Universal Studio.
 Can't wait to go to Universal Studio with my friends! Heard most of them have lots of fun there, though there are still a few games that are not opened to public.  $77, another amount of money i will spend willingly.

I love the deco!
 I'm not a candy lover, but who would resist such colourful temptations?

Once broken, considered sold.
After years of seeing that reminder, i am finally the victim. To cut the story short, i walked out buying that jar of Frooties, happily.  Thanks for a wonderful job, Kelvin :)

Indulgence.
 Ice cream works for me best when im sad. And when i'm happy, it doubled my joy~! :)

Siloso Beach @ Sentosa Island.
 Beach or shopping centre? I'll certainly choose to be at the beach! The feeling of my feet on the sand can lit an immediate smile~ Ah, with the cooling sea breeze and lapping of sea waves, whatever worries or problems at work are taken away back to the sea. :)

Clarke Quay
 Fountains~ We can actually walk into the water fountains, snap a picture or two, and not get wet.  Yes, i totally agree, Clarke Quay is one of the most beautiful tourist spot in Singapore :)

$ 24 Beef Croissant
 dinner at TCC @ Clarke Quay.
$ 14 Mushroom Croissant

View from National Library Building.

Talking about cultivating the reading habit of Malaysians.  When i compare our Johor State library to Singapore's, nah, there's nothing to be compare at all.
Conducive environment for group discussion.

Night Safari.  $ 35.

First show: Iban Performance.

Modern type with rock music and dangerous but awesome fire performance :)

Ops. Lazy to tilt.  
 Wonder will i ever finish reading these books.  Second hand book fair, ranging from $1-6. :)

Conclusion?
This is my last semester holiday as a student.  Looking forward to the upcoming trips~! (^_^)

I attended this Alpha Course last night and had a truly good time fellowshipping with the T&T FGC members, with super delicious food like shepherd Pies, mushroom soup, nuggets, fries etc... It was an interesting topic to discuss, we have few philipines with us and they shared touching testimonies~ Quite sad i missed out the first introductory session last Friday, looking forward to the coming lessons~! 


Structure

The Alpha course is organized as a series of sessions over 10 weeks, typically preceded by an 'Alpha Supper' which often includes the talk "Is there more to life than this?" and with a day or weekend away which includes three or four of the talks asterisked [*] below. Each session starts with a meal, followed by a talk (often a video of one by Nicky Gumbel) and then discussion in small groups. The talks aim to cover the basic beliefs of the Christian faith. The complete list of talk titles, which follows the chapters of Gumbel's book Questions of Life, is:
  • Is there more to life than this? (previously Christianity: Boring, Untrue and Irrelevant?)
  • Who is Jesus?
  • Why did Jesus die?
  • How can we have faith?
  • Why and how do I pray?
  • Why and how should I read the Bible?
  • How does God guide us?
  • Who is the Holy Spirit? [*]
  • What does the Holy Spirit do? [*]
  • How can I be filled with the Holy Spirit? [*]
  • How can I resist evil?
  • Why and how should I tell others?
  • Does God heal today?
  • What about the church?
  • How can I make the most of the rest of my Life? [*] [4]
Attenders are issued with The Alpha Course Manual, which contains an outline of each talk and space for making notes.

P/s Japan was hit by a 8.9 magnitude earthquake which results in heart-wretched tsunami, sweeping away lives and killing the economy - 11 March 2011, a day to mourn despite it's the first day of our school holidays... God bless them..
