Challenging days mini reflection

2 days ago, realised that my finger skin eczema is not getting any better so was fretting about my piano practical exam on 24/9. Managed to solve the problem and was at Teachers' Network for the 18 degree Space Sharing Session for the whole day.

Upon reflection, here are my learning points:
  • what bothers you in your personal life shouldn't affect your work (professionalism)
  • the effort you put in may not be recognised by others but is recognition important? what is your purpose in pursuing/contributing to a project? (passion for learning)
  • appreciation and being humble when there's guidance available (heeding advices)
  • being an effective team player matters more than a domineering leader (charismatic and influential leadership)
  • prioritising what is important at present (organising in 'chaos')
  • finding simple pleasures in all that you do. facing challenges and critical voices bravely (self-counselling)

Like what my P aptly said: "A teacher today does not only teach in class, in short, we are 'BGL' =Bao Ga Liao"

Catch me if you can

Caught this movie today and really liked how the plot unfolds although the basic storyline is the cop chasing a thief who is very crafty. The costume and music used for the movie setting was also interesting.

Wonderful weekend with wonderful pple

Been too busy lately to update my blog...here's a brief run down of events that took place recently...

Friday 18/9 PSLE LC (PM session: time out at 4pm to attend piano lesson 5-6pm before exam on 24/9) Realised that I left my hp in school when I've reached Dhoby Ghaut so quickly called my colleague for sch's contact number to ensure that they don't close the school before i rush back to get my hp. Was in time to find the hp and Miss Ng kindly offered to give me a lift to Serangoon as she's heading home and I'm going to my friend's house to prepare for her wedding tomorrow. I will miss my P as she's retiring by the end of this year because she's the P I know since I've entered the NSPS family. Managed to find my way to Eileen's condo after passing the Getai and walking to the wrong Cherry Gardens beside Cherry Hills...super confusing...once entered the condo compound, overshot and went to a wrong lift lobby...had to retrace my steps...lots of wrong turns before finally finding her...Spent the whole evening till 11pm preparing the wedding challenges for the groom to win the bride's hand...met Mrs Yeo, our sec sch home econs teacher as she's Eileen's Godma...had a nice talk with her. =)

Sat 19/9 Headed to Ang Mo Kio Christ the King church by 1130am to help out with the church wedding before the couple and their entourage arrive. Followed one of the bridal car to Regent Hotel around 3+pm to get ready for the wedding banquet. The 7 bridesmaids and myself quickly did our makeup and change into evening wear to prepare to welcome the guests. By 6pm we were ready at level 1, outside royal pavilion to start the cocktail reception. Met alot of sec sch pals whom she invited so was a nice reunion. The wedding video and animation by Stefine was sweet and rather hilarious. Creative idea to invite Singapore's only 变脸大师 as a special performance. By 12+am, we finally called it a day and went home. So happy for the couple and glad that I played a small part in their romantic and wonderful wedding day. Popular day for wedding due to the date 190909 =)

Sun 20/9 Went to Kovan to Cherie Hearts playhouse by 930am. Headed to Kovan coffeeshop for wanton mee with BTPC friends before heading to Somerset OC with Yifen & Ray. We had Ben & Jerry's and a drink at Heaven's Loft before Yifen & me went to shop while Ray went to find a cafe to work. We were at catalyst when we spotted a nice blouse for Yifen. Since her bday is coming up and she really looked gd in it, I quickly paid for her and present it as a gift while she was still in the changing room. We walked around and she got me to choose my bday gift too...got a holga camera strap before we hear from Ray that he entered the Finals of a Wii Sports competition on Level 4. We spotted him from Level 5 and were waving like aunties spotting their boy at a competition before we realised that there's an uncle filming footages for mediacorp...faints...started laughing at ourselves. In the end, Ray won $100 vouchers and we went for dinner at Heaven's Loft again to use the vouchers as they are due by 30 Sept. We could also get 2 tubs of hand-packed Ben & Jerry ice-creams. Both of them generously offered to let me bring one home..I chose the choc mint and frozen berry yoghurt. We walked down to PS to visit Etude House and buy some cosmetics before taking the NEL home. Gave Yifen the folder and nail polish which she likes. =D

Mon 21/9 Hari Raya Puasa: Stayed home to clear my work before enjoying a sumptuous dinner with my parents and their Chinese business friends at Seafood International. The restaurant has been renovated so there's greater ambience but the food quality is still as fabulous...=D
