A group of frogs were travelling through the woods. Two of them fell into a deep pit… helpless Deep thinking what could be done… One of them thought of this and mention aloud “Let’s jump out like a human do.” The other frogs around, started shouting “don’t do that, it will hurt you more.” The other [...]

Monkey story
Once, there was this group of scientists who did experiment on some monkeys. They hung a bunch of banana at the top of the tree infront of the monkeys. Instinctively the group of monkeys wanted to climb up the tree to grab the bananas. The scientist kept pouring water onto the monkeys who were climbing up [...]

Happy 45th birthday Singapore!
Its been a few years that I last watched the national day parade! I realised Singapore has become more and more beautiful over the years. Especially the esplanade and marina area when the camera pull up and show us the entire view. It is indeed a touching scene. When Singaporeans from all over Singapore gather to [...]
Thoughts of the day
Today I passed by the uncle selling tissue again. I remb the last time my mum and I passed by him… my heart goes out to him. So my mum and I decide to buy tissue from him. Later we agreed to return him the tissues and he was very grateful for it. As usual [...]
Its EASY… Its SIMPLE…
In life… we seem to have lotsa challenges to handle.. Some people are slowed or halt by obstacles… while others jump over it and fast forward… What is your choice? Is it that tough to move ahead? Not really… I personally feel we should be tasks driven. Just do what needs to be done… Get it [...]
FOOD for thought
I often see singapore kids wasting food, including my own students. They will buy a mac donald meal and after eating a few strands of fries they decided to throw the entire packet of fries away. They buy 2 scoops of ice cream and end up not even finishing off 1 scoop. I know children [...]
Singapore Education Summit
Singapore Education Summit (SES) was over last weekend. Attended a few talks by the speaker. Of all, my favourite is by Jerry Mills. Personally I feel he is a special speaker who composes and sings. Not that his songs were fantastic but i think it is interesting when you put words and learnings into songs. [...]
Are you ready for battlefield?
Today met up with a student and spoke to him. He didnt do quite well for his mid year. I asked him what he has been doing during the sch holidays. He told me his father ask him to study and practise more questions. Knowing him, I told him.. he doesnt even understand and grasp [...]
A lesson from the Universe
Just had a 3D2N “holiday” at the hospital. This is the first time in my life! It is indeed a energy draining environment. I went in in good spirti but as I was dressed in the patient robe lying on the bed, I was socialised into a petient role. Whats with regular temperature and bp [...]
Happiness… SPREADS!
Oh.. Oh.. I realise happiness spreads! Sometimes when I post positive & happy things or even just a picture, I realise when people talk to me they too are influenced by my happiness. The tone of conversation is lighter too! Recently the office printer broke down. In our industry, we rely heavily on the copier. [...]
What kind of values are we bringing to the next generation??
During my recent trip, my friend captured this scenario and narrated to me. There is this family who were going for holiday as well and happened to bring their maid along. As they were alighting, they collected their luggages. Actually there is the service crew who will help them unload the luggages. However, being impatient the father [...]
Looking at possibilities
I used to be a panicky person that fear uncertainty. However, over time I have grown. For instance if the dateline/event is tomorrow and today I am still not prepared or certain.. I will feel very uneasy. I often wonder how others can remain calm in the face of adversity. Lately I realised I dont [...]
My FRUITFUL weekend…
This has been an exciting weekend for me. (1) I am officially an Amma hugger! lol Well… I was passive in taking this action. As there is something very repeling about this activity which I shall not elaborate here. Nonetheless, it was an interesting experience. I was told beforehand that there are many people who [...]
Its Simple… & Easy…
I often hear people say that life is tough… Seriously, is it that tough? Or are people complicating things on their own? Honestly, how difficult or complicated can it be? Every morning we wake up, go to school and work. Participate and have fun in whatever we are supposed to do, assigned to do… Give our best [...]
Seek the right person
Recently I have a class.. the students were doing worksheets assigned by me. One of the students called for attention when she faces challenge. As I approach her, the classmate sitting next to her offer help and attempt to explain to her. However, she rejected… I want to listen to xxx’s (my name) explanation. I [...]
Words can hurt deeply, badly…
I came across this email and would like to share… Sometimes we don’t know how our words can hurt others and ourselves at the end of the day. My mom only had one eye. I hated her… She was such an embarrassment. . She cooked for students & teachers to support the family. There was this [...]
Limiting Labels
Just got an email from Anthony and read his article http://www.anthonyfernando.com/2010/03/03/399/. I totally agree with what he says. I just recall an incident last week. We had a bio workshop last week. Heard from the bio coach that one of the parents told her her child was rejected by a teacher before simply because his results [...]
How to get the best out of everything
I picked up this book from kino yesterday. Only managed to browse through few pages till this moment. Since I have to blog, I will talk about it. We have the tendency to lose passion/interest in whatever we are doing and falls into a routine.. be it our job/marriage/friendship/studies etc… In this book, they suggest we [...]
Step Forth!
Over the weekend, I caught a movie. Ten minutes into the show, this group of 5 big guys came into the cinema to occupy the row infront of us. However, when all of them settled down, they realised there is only 4 seats. This poor guy was left in an awkard position (both literally and physically) and wonder where is his [...]
