Lunch with Yifen 

Teachers @ Sakae 

Teachers' Day Out

Attended 3 gym class back to back starting frm 8:10am...maybe can say gyming with a vengence...(",)

Met up with some of my long-missed classmates for Sakae buffet...interesting stories frm our practicum made us bowl over with laughter & attracted curious stares frm others quite a few times =P Now we understand why one of the lecturer mentioned “当一群人说话和笑得很大声时，他们很可能是教师。”Really had a gd time sharing our experiences and catching up...=)

~解脱~

Started feeling excited late last night, upon completion of my reports...know that once i hand in all my reports and the heavy practicum file today, holidays can be officially declared ^_^

Headed back to our "headquarters" early in the morning and by noon was able to enjoy lunch with a senior, who shared her teaching experience..really treasure learning opportunities from all and i'm not going to let this long holidays go to waste!

HPS Last day

Taught my p3 & p5 class for the last time today...it's the end of our 1st practicum and coincidentally, it's the sch's international friendship day...Like a grand finale, there's celebration yet a sense of lost...

Mentally prepared myself and my students for my departure since Wednesday...my p3 students, being kids were more concerned abt getting the small bookmarks i prepared for them & playing with their friends..pretty rowdy bunch but i still believe there's little angels within them...was touched by my p5 students who prepared simple gifts or left their contacts for me even tho i felt that i could have taught them better..they wrote down my email add hurriedly and even asked for my signature on the personalised cards i gave them as if i'm a star...haha hope i've "lighted" their lives in some small ways...the only regret is that i didn't get the chance to take photographs with my students or my cooperating teachers...all busy with today's programmes.

The bittersweet memories of these 8 weeks will definitely be etched in my mind for a long time...now it's back to completing exam reports before holidays can be officially declared for us!

Tremor

Around 7:10pm, I felt myself swaying from side to side as i sat in front of my pc typing...thought it's just me feeling dizzy but when i saw my small whiteboard and other ornaments in my room swaying, i knew there must have been another earthquake. Even the water in our fishtank had "waves"...reminds me of Jurassic Park (*_*)

True enough, news on SCV reported the 6.7 magnitude quake could be felt in Singapore. Hope that not too many people are hurt this time round and lesser properties damaged...

Spa Wisdom event

Attended the Bodyshop Spa Wisdom talk at Centrepoint Atrium with sis. Reached there slightly earlier so went to 7-eleven to check out the Sanrio collection...bought the last My Melody long ruler available there and topped up the balance (with sis getting smth)to get a Hello Kitty magnet.

Before the talk, we were approached by one of the promoters-Zura at the counter and was treated to free hand scrubs and hand massages with the new range of spa products...(^_^)

The guest speaker- Arti gave a DIY Spa talk and introduce the new range of Bodyshop Spa Wisdom products...learnt quite abit and was very tempted to get more than 1 item...my sis who was extremely tempted didn't help much...in the end, i was the one who actually managed to be practical and not buy more than we need...how ironical (*_*)

After the Bodyshop shopping extravaganza--didn't expect to spend that much ('x'), we headed for lunch at Le Meridien foodcourt...along the way, got 3 more Sanrio stamps from 7-eleven. The Korean food was real tasty...value for $. Shared lunch and dessert-peach yami yogurt with sis before going to Music Essentials to find my piano exam scores. Managed to buy the Chopin Polonaise piano book, hope it's the right one.

Took the bus back home cos didn't wanna get squashed in the train. Had fish head curry dinner cooked by parents...feel so full!
