Last minute changes to sat plan, don't really like it but have to be understanding...sigh...need to eat out and attend piano lessons, hence went out with mum & sis. Quite a few shops in Heeren have changed since my last visit. Even the gelato stall where I met a fellow aj gal in Starhub food centre is also gone! To see Orchard road decorated with a myriad of colours from the blooming flowers (due to IMF conference) and Serangoon road preparing for Deepavali's decoration were the highlights of my day. (part of 139 bus route to toa payoh interchange from bus stop in front of dhoby ghaut long john silvers) =)
Met one of my p4 students at PC X-Zone at Dhoby Ghaut mrt station...she must be wondering why a teacher is there...haha, passed by the shop and wanted to see the gashapon machines.
Reached home and caught this movie...the immense love and bond between the child and the autistic father touches one to tears...

《Love comes slowly》
Intended to pack my things but sis had to do project in the study room with her classmate, so chanced to catch this touching and heart-warming movie on Hallmark Channel this afternoon. Here's some info I found on the hallmark channel website:
Love Comes Softly is based on the first installment of the successful franchise of eight Love Comes Softly novels from writer Janette Oke. Most of Ms. Oke's books are themed around the inspirational message that fortitude and faith can bring one through life's circumstances – both the bad and the good.
Marty Claridge is a young woman reluctantly headed west with her husband, Aaron to start a new life. A runaway horse kills Aaron suddenly, leaving Marty far from home and in a sea of strangers. Adrift in her tragedy, Marty has no means of caring for herself until Clark offers to marry her and care for her until she can return to the East. Clark needs a mother for his ten-year-old daughter who is determined to foil all of Marty's attempts at kindness. In a place where all hope seems lost, Marty discovers love is found in the most unlikely of places.

SCTU course
Spent 3 days attending the Singapore Chinese Teachers' Union reading club course at Sims Avenue Centre. Besides Yifen and her colleagues, met Corinne on the second day of the course.
The course is very enriching: the picture books and activities introduced to encourage students to cultivate the love for reading were the highlights for me. The planning part was quite tedious as we have to apply what the lecturer taught almost immediately. The concept is to structure questions that guide students to share more and be involve in discussions during a reading club session.
Bought 3 books and have to control my spending cos the picture books, especially Jimmy's (taiwanese) were very attractive. =P

教师节快乐
教师节，难得的一天假，和同学们约好，一同回教育学院去找教授们。
吃饱午餐，写好祝贺卡，拍了合照，就上去办公室敲门献上我们的祝福。

见到了这几位教授，也跟他们聊了一会儿：张爱东、周清海、严寿成、潘文光、陈亚凤。
没碰上的教授，我们只好把卡片投入他们的信箱。
陈老师很快就会到教育部担任新的职务，不会在教育学院任教。还好我们今天碰到她，要不然还以为她仍教公民与道德教学法。
因钢琴考试要来临，必须去上补课，所以约两点就必须离开文礼。期待下一次的聚会。=)
