25th Oct Shine Shine SHINE

I woke up at 11a.m today, and I felt weird. It's been ages since I last woke up at 11a.m on a Sunday, I should be a little happier I guess? Haha..

Tomorrow is the start of the O level proper exams, all these 4 years of studying has finally came down to the actual papers. Before you know it, the first paper and the last paper seems just to be next to each other, and it'll all be over before you know it.

While we have all done what we could to go pass this hurdle, all that's left is to believe in yourself and do your best.

Hints for Exams:

- Maximize your time usage, if you finish early, then check through.

- Remember your calculators, and check it's working.

- Remember to put your entry proof in your pencil case.

- Lastly, be confident, if you can apply 75% of what you learn, getting a good grade is not an impossible task.


With this, good luck for all the coming exams, and I'll be wishing for your success and for most of you, I'll be seeing you as a teacher for the last time on November 4th at Cheng San CC 2nd floor 4p.m to 10p.m.

All the best!!

Adios!

8th October Best Friend's Wedding

Today's post is dedicated to my best friend, Sindy and her hubby Wayne.

It was about 12 years ago, when we first met in NYJC. Both of us look so normal, a friendship built up not just on trust and respect, but also from a little of anger and disappointment once. However, the little trouble we had between us, we long gone before we knew it. I do not know when it was, or what it was, that brought us both to be so trusting towards each other, but one thing for sure is, we both treasure this friendship more then words could describe.

And for this, you will always be my best friend.

I had a hard time holding back the tears of joy for you when Wayne said "I do" to you, and you to him. You look so blissful standing before Wayne, may this scene be etched into your memories forever with nothing but sweet thoughts that will bring a smile to your face whenever you think of it.

Congratulations my dearest friend!!

6th Oct Rainy

As usual, the exam periods are always filled with lots of rainfall. Bring your umbrellas wherever you go, you don't want to get sick. No heroes or heroines please.

Anyway something to lighten your day.

A blonde named Winnie had a near death experience the other day when she went horseback riding. Everything was going fine until the horse started bouncing out of control. She tried with all her might to hang on, but was thrown off. Just when things could not possibly get worse, her foot got caught in the stirrup. When this happened, she fell head first to the ground. Her head continued to bounce harder as the horse did not stop or even slow down.

Just as she was giving up hope and losing consciousness, the Wal-Mart manager happened to walk by and unplug it.

Adios!

A meaningful comic strip I found.


















































































































































































































































































No matter what life throws at you, no matter how hard it may be, you went through it for a reason, and although it doesn't show now, you will appreciate later.

Work hard everyone!

Came across the show Britains got Talent, and I've seen some really motivating videos which I have never thought would be possible.

Such courage at such young ages,
broken down from pressure and stress,
defeated but never giving up.

To that, everyone has something to learn from them.

Seeing them brings tears to my eyes, do you?

Look from these Youtube links, it's protected so just view it from the links by opening a new window.

This young man got Simon stopped him from singing in the midst, but he got another chance by Simon. He accepts it, and he nailed it.


Hollie Steel.

The first part of this video was her first attempt, but she broke down from pressure and stress. What do you expect, shes only a 10 year old. And I think shes courageous. However, she got another chance at it at the later half of the video, and I personally think shes fantabulous (fantastic + fabulous).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_-OHoDVaus



If you view both videos, there is a particular reason why I do that.

Everyone out there, including you, have some sort of talent, and everyone of you have got a chance at it. Your incoming hurdle in N and O levels are what you have to go through in the next 3 months. You should never give up, and never stop trying.

Seeing Sharheen and Hollie makes me think of you all, I love you all.

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.

At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.


NOW ............

Enough of that crap . . . The donkey later came back, and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him.

The gash from the bite got infected and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.

MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:

When you do something wrong, and try to cover
your ass, it always comes back to bite you.

Adios!

14th Sept Warm

Today's the day when majority of my students got back their prelim results. Only a few things I would like to say, maybe contrary to what you believe, but this is what I felt.

To most of you:

- You did well using what you learnt

- You should thank your teacher for making it so clear what all of your mistakes were and where you should focus on studying

- If you did 60+, I would say its really good already, you'll have high chance of getting an A.

- If you did 50+, careless mistakes correction and learning from them will give you a good chance to do much better.

- If you did below 50, I highly suggest you try harder, and ask yourself whether you gave your best for the exams. If the answer is no, you'll know what to do.


Anyway apart from that, my N level students have been doing pretty well on the average, and I would like to congratulate them for the prelim results. The usual improvements from prelims are that you will jump 2-3 grades higher then usual if you continue working for it.

Never give up, because if you do, that's the end.

How to tell You are married

Three women: one engaged, one married and one a mistress, were chatting about their relationships and decided to amaze their men. That night all three would wear black leather bras, stiletto heels and a mask over their eyes.

After a few days they meet up for lunch.

The engaged woman: “The other night when my boyfriend came over he found me with a black leather bodice, tall stilettos and a mask. He saw me and said, 'You are the woman of my life. I love you.' Then we made love all night long.”

The mistress: “Me too! The other night I met my lover at his office and I was wearing the leather bodice, heels, mask over my eyes and a raincoat. When I opened the raincoat he didn't say a word, but we had wild sex all night”.

The married woman: “I sent the kids to stay at my mother's house for the night. When my husband came home I was wearing the leather bodice, black stockings, stilettos and a mask over my eyes. As soon as he came in the door and saw me he said, 'What's for dinner, Batman?'

Adios!

Never fails to have the exam periods being really rainy and cold. Always the case every year for now, and I guess you guys better keep umbrellas with you. You won't wanna fall sick during the papers. After all, its only 2 months before your O level starts, and weeks before N levels.

A little something below:

Good: People calling me asking about homework

Bad: The homework was last month's

Worse: Tomorrow's exam.


Anyway it was meant as a punk, but I do know 1 or 2 of you is guilty of that...

Ok I'm exaggerating...
.... should be more then 5 or 10....


I remember the last time I said the same thing about the mid-years. The results should shock you and make you work harder, but now I see, even prelims doesn't really scare the shit out of you. You guys got guts, I gotta give you that. Damn, I'm beginning to see the old me in you... but the thing is, I pulled through, I hope you guys do too.

Anyway, by the time u read this, prelims for POA are over. You'll know results next week, so lets all begin to work hard... finally? Hahaha... less bull crap about working hard and stop thinking of excuses not to work hard yea?
