Regular CNY visitors

It's the third day of the Lunar New Year, and here came my first and only batch of visitors during the new year, ha! They were my old boys and girl from SJKC Ldg Pengkalan Bukit: Alex, Harry, Kaiyun and her girls. Thankful for their effort to try to be here every year!

Had quite a long chat with the Law's brothers as they used to stay longer every time they were here, and our shared topic this time mainly focused on the political issues of the country as GE 14 is around the corner.

How very young they were when I was first posted to their school 20+ years ago, and they are now all grown-ups and used to share their life stories with me almost every CNY when they were here. Time really flies!!!  

On the other hand, Fungming sent me a most sincere message to apologize for his absence, as his wife had just given birth to a baby boy and is in her confinement period now. He used to remind me of his thankfulness for the time I spent with them during their primary school life, and his words had always warmed my heart so much!

Thanks boys and girls for coming back throughout these years, and my best wishes are always with you all!

CNY

It's the first day of the dog year, a peaceful day without visitor beside elder bro and his family.

Went to the river bank with 5th sis from S'pore in the evening. We haven't been meeting for quite a long time. Had a good chat with her while she was shooting the sunset at the river bank. She is always soft-spoken and caring. Always feel thankful to have all the brothers and sisters who have always been giving me lots of support when life was difficult.

Thankful to all the most passionate parents of my students and colleague for the love shared during the festival, feeling blessed indeed! 

The excitement of the festival had so much reduced ever since the decease of our beloved mom. Nothing seems to be looking forward to but overwhelmed with the memories of the festival greeting while mom was around, she had been leaving lots of foot prints in the journey of our lives!

Miss you, mom...

Memorable trip in New Zealand

Taranaki, where the iconic elephant rock located

New year is around the corner, looking forward to a happier and more productive year ahead!

Blessed indeed to be able to go for the 20-day New Zealand trip before the year ends. It’s such a wonderful  and memorable trip! Had been driving for a total of 17 days throughout the trip and thankful for the safe journey from the beginning till the end. Thankful to all my fellow tour mates, Bcha, Bhuang and Tng too, especially Bhuang for her effort to get the wonderful trip planned.

Appreciate the beauty of the nature of the country so much! We had had a really great time indeed! Looking forward to going back to the country again some days in future, ha!

Back to Kukup

Joined the Gan Association Woman Group for a 2 days trip to Kukup together with 玉兰老师.

It's a trip of lots of fun and laughter, and I really enjoyed the trip so much.  Visited to the southernmost tip of Continental Asia at Tg Piai too, it was really fun to wade through the high tide to reach to the tip.

Glad to have a gang of members to go for our first ever ATV ride, it was such challenging and adventurous, though I was dropped far behind the others throughout the journey.  Thankful to 玉兰老师 and the other members for their patience in tolerating my poorest riding skill among all, ha!

We had also had a walk in the shades of the mangrove trees of the reserved forest to explore and observe its beautiful scenery. The mangrove forest has been well preserved indeed since I last visited here about ten years ago.

It was really an enjoyable trip!

Visitors from STUDI

11 teachers including the Form 6 HM from STUDI visited our school today to learn about the use of the smart board in the classroom.

I was told to demonstrate a lesson using the smart board in the class to the visitors. How very excited the children were to have so many visitors in their class though they were reminded to behave themselves in advance.  They actively involved themselves throughout the lesson and their performance had also impressed the visitors so much!

Thankful to the children for being really cooperative and behaved really well when the visitors were here, and they had really made my day indeed!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Visited Cikgu Marina's house with several colleagues this morning.

Cikgu Marina is gonna retire by the year end of the school term, thus treasure the moment being with her so much!

It's a small but joyous gathering especially the moment walking around their backyard farm. Everybody enjoyed looking at the various plants around the farm with lots of amazement.

Thankful for the cordial hospitality accorded by the family, thankful for the most sincere and precious friendship shared among all that hasn't been destroyed by the most hypocrite politicians!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all our Muslim friends!

Thankful

Feeling loved so much！

Thankful to my siblings & colleagues for their care while I am suffering from an unknown sickness which drives me to go for a blood test after being really uncomfortable for a couple of days.

Thankful to 玉兰老师for her short but caring message from Sydney right at this moment.

Thankful to Ashley and her mom for their passion of sharing and love that warms my heart. 

It's a day filled with thankfulness and love!
