As Singaporeans, we sometimes think that life is so boring in this city-state. However, there is always something that we can ponder about! Proud to be living here!!!

These videos are production of my heritage guides in action. Quite impromptu but was taken within a few NGs only!! Given a chance, they will rise up to the occasion. But without a chance, you don't even see a single thing to happen......TO BELIEVE IS TO ACTUALISE DREAMS!! Dreams will come true if we have faith and if we believe in it! Wonders of belief....
HELLO!!! 台湾的学生们,你们好! 欢迎!欢迎! There are about 14 Heritage guides involved in the Taiwanese Immersion programme.
This video is some introduction about ourselves. Including, the 4 different lauguages we have in Singapore. ENJOY IT.
This is a short clip about 4 students singing 4 different types of National Songs. From the Left to the Right: XueFang,KaiYing,ChooiTene and ShiXuan. Hope this clip won't be too lousy for viewing.
等待你们的来临 ...

3N says I'm angry today?? Am NOT!! Absolutely NOT..Why would I be angry???
Nope....rather just feel sad, disappointed and feel for the students. Why? To think, while the rest wants to or are trying to learn and discover....they can't due to the noise level and disruptions caused by others...Is this fair??? Nope I think.... In addition, what will outsiders think about our sch if students are behaving like this? Is this something we can be pride of? Nope I think... Moreover, we are trying to help them to learn and discover their strengths and weaknesses, how the brain works and how to optimise learning styles......but they refused...what do u think?? How can we learn if both ends fail to meet?? Can we clap if we use only one hand?? Perhaps can still clap but has to clap against something e.g. wall or your own thigh....painful isn't it??
Like what I said, while trying to give everyone the basic respect and dignity, all must understand and follow....if not then why give face....rather shout, scold and punish...but is this what we want?? I doubt so......everyone needs to be well-respected....from cleaners to someone great, right? So, to respect each other, it takes both hands to clap......two hands to form that BRIDGE that links people.... I always believe and stand firm that conflicts and communication, on contrary belief can be beneficial in people relationship.....they enhance understanding and awareness of both ends....NOT damage relationship! Do you agree?
Something for all to ponder!!! Me as well.....stop, think and reflect!!

Few weeks back, I'm defining and reflecting an attitude in life, as aspect of living....a powerful symbol that guided my principles and values of living! Eureka....profounded something powerful...a simple yet mystifying and perplexing attitude, termed POSITIVITY...a simple word from positive ...and came out with something, "Positivity..no journey too tough!!"
This afternoon, I was msning with Shawn and we happened to talk about attitudes in schools...I concurred with him that we always see and hear students sighing..."so boring, sian and what's the point?"...to think of that....yup..."siansation" as termed by Shawn.
But to Shawn, his life is different and he sounded like what I always believed....to be positive in whatever we do....so life has to be interesting always....
To quote his words (very meaningful):
"at least my life isn't filled with "Siansation"!"
":yup! what is the point in seeing negativity when it will just sink your mood down"
This is somehow challenging me to think further....when there are ups, there are always downs, just like the Keynesian' business cycle, recession, booms in the stock market.....so when there is positivity, there is negativity......got to battle this in our life......dedicated to all my students and wish them well for their tests and exams...

'The future is not completely beyond our control. It is the work of our own hands.''
- Robert F. Kennedy
Each year, the Earth’s temperature continues to rise, and our natural resources are carelessly exploited. Everyone has a responsibility to act now. We can play a part in helping the climate, preserve and care for Mother Earth.
A simple change can create a huge impact to the environment: Slow down climate change and conserve our natural resources.
There are many things we can do by practicing the 3Rs:-
1. Reduce. Just use less!
Reduce plastic bags – they deplete our natural resources. Bring a cloth bag instead at your next shopping trip.
2. Reuse. Don't just bin it!
Reuse old envelopes by pasting an address label on or striking out the previous addressee.
3. Recycle. Make it useful again!
Collect rain water to water the plants, or laundry water to wash the floors or to flush the toilets.

"Dont Waste My Time!!!"Culled from The Stapler Maniac. (Text in italics my own.)
Food for Thought: People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel.
Especially after you shouted at them and the whole school heard. So are they going to learn a lesson??? Perhaps not.....what can I do then?? Reflecting...

This is the first time I brought my boys to participate in the annual MILK community run....What's MILK?? Oh...Mainly I Love Kids organised by Beyond Social Services to raise fund ($1,000,000) for anti-deliqeuency programmes....a charitable cause!!!
1st July..at 3pm....bus failed to turn up....got no choice but to take mrt, then a bus to Zouk carpark....
though we were supposed to run 4 km....many of the boys, esp the Sec 3 took short cut....they though they could outsmart, but it's really that obvious ....how can they run 4km within 29 mins with so many ppl around....
Nevertheless, the boys had fun.....drinking lots of 100 plus and munching bananas..heee
The boys also managed to draw crowds...with their spectacular feat!
The boys in action..
