Angel

My usual habit is to watch umpteen movies and dramas during the holidays.

I haven't been a fan of Singapore's telemovies but this is an exception.

Ever since watching the trailer, I've been dying to catch this on Channel 5.

And so I did.

"Angel" is Real good.

Nat Ho looks so natural here, compared to channel 8 productions (which I'm sorry to say I really can't help cringing at times when he is trying so hard to mouth the Chinese lines). Way to go, Nat!

Anyway, I was really touched when I was watching the telemovie. The plot tugged those heartstrings ever so lightly, my emotions were stirred. Those tears just won't stop dropping.

If you have caught the show as I did, I am sure you would feel the same way too. 

Love between child and parent, lost relationships or one that never existed. Things that we take for granted but yet prove to be so important deep down our hearts.

Lucky people get a second chance.

Are you lucky?

It's been 3 days

No matter how interesting and fun badminton can get...

No matter how great your company is...

No matter how hyper and crazy everyone is...

I have to say:

2 hours of badminton is tiring enough.

3 hours of badminton is downright insane.


In case you are curious regarding my title, I'm still recovering over my aching body after 3 hours of grueling but madly fun badminton session with the boys 3 days ago.

*curses under breath*

(psssst, let's try it again...)

3B'08

I've been meeting up with my 3B'08 boys to coach them for their coming N levels and for chit chat, makan sessions.



This is one of their... pretty normal pictures taken from my trusty old MBP last year. We see Faith, Cassiopea, Shawn, Hong Liang and Wei Ming here...

For some crazy ones... They look like this:

Wei Ming's "The Eye"

Shawn kisses himself.

15 turned 5.

It's pretty amazing how I only taught them for 10 weeks (practicum) and yet we could hit it off so well and kept contact til now.

Anyway, I hope everyone has been doing really well... I've enjoyed myself talking rubbish with these boys (and also causing my blog to be polluted by their nonsensical messages. Gah.) and I hope you've benefited from the past 2 sessions.


To my current 4B darlings, do well for N levels and may you pursue your dreams in future! Stay cheery, chirpy and fun-loving~~~

Looking forward to our badminton session coming Wednesday! Whee~~

拜六礼拜 打得很HIGH!

是不是联想到: 拜六礼拜 会不会开?

我的周末就窝在家里，观看了超精彩的羽球比赛！

平常，运动细胞近乎零的我，因为工作（借口啦！）都很少机会参与任何运动。最多也只是“久久一次”玩Wii。哈哈。

最近又开始跑步。很想念以前疯狂游泳、日光浴的日子。但现在的太阳真的太可怕了，不得不选择无阳光的十分运动。唉。

偏题了，总之，这场Aviva羽毛球赛事的确有看头！当然，也有不错看的男羽球好手！^_^ 27岁的泰国选手Boonsak Ponsana，挺不赖的。虽然最终得了第二名，但我很欣赏他的运动员精神，不论胜败，总是笑脸宜人。

我想，运动也和学习一样，一分耕耘，一分收获。但有时，即便付出很多，也可能无法看到成果。重要的是，要懂得调试心情，懂得从种种历练中吸取更多的经验，以挑战下一个考验！

你的周末又是如何过的呢？

And so my weekend was spent at home staring at the TV, watching Aviva Badminton Championship.

For the lack of time and mainly due to my own laziness, I hardly get to play sports on working days (on top of being quite a sports idiot). Well, I don't know much about sports, but I do know that I don't mind badminton, swimming and running. Oh, and how about Wii Sports? Hehe...

I had a pleasant time watching the men and women fighting for their places with zest and zeal. Of course, even more so when there's an eye candy in the crowd. 27 year-old Thai player, Boonsak Ponsana is the sportsman who caught my eye. (laughs) I think, it's more than his boyish charm and spectacular moves that make me go weak on my knees. I love how he keeps his smile going even when he's on a losing streak. Sportsmanship to the max, I say.

This applies to studying too. Like playing sports, you reap what you sow when studying. And sometimes, even if you may have put in your best, you still may not get your desired results. This is when you got to pick yourself up, smile and keep going. Yea?

So, how was your weekend?

Saving Gaia

什么是Gaia？Gaia是希腊语，代表地球。

Gaia in Greek means "Earth" and is synonymous with "Mother Earth".

保护地球，保护环境是我们大家的责任，甚至是种使命。

Saving the earth, protecting our environment is everybody's responsibility and even a mission.


同学们最近有没有看到电视上播放的Saving Gaia广告？

Have you seen the Saving Gaia ad on TV recently?

老师也到 http://www.savinggaia.sg/ 去立下誓约，参与保护地球的行动！很简单的，你只需要说一说你能如何拯救地球！

Well, I have gone to http://www.savinggaia.sg/ recently to take my pledge! It's simple, all you have to do is pledge what you want to do to save Mother Earth.

拯救地球看似一件庞大的工程，其实不然。只要大家肯尽一份力，在日常生活中做些小小的调整，世界一定可以更美好。

It seems a great deal to be 'saving earth' but think of it this way, no matter how small your efforts, as long as you are willing to make small changes in your daily life, the world would definitely be a better place!

看一看以下的短片（部分），你就会发现，连我们平时丢弃的衣服都会伤害地球！

Take a look at the screener clip below and you will realise that even an act of throwing your old clothes away is causing harm to Mother Earth!



有兴趣的同学可以在comments一栏留言，说一说你们能为地球做些什么呢？

Those interested may leave a comment and tell me what you can do for Mother Earth!
