Punishment

It is a sad day that I had to suspend one of my own form class students.

I hope the others will learn something from this lesson and the class can grow from it.

Meanwhile, I hope the morning presentations and Notice Board readings will continue to groom you lot of fine young ladies and gentlemen.

"He who loves Discipline loves Knowledge. He who does not wish to be corrected, can never learn."

A lesson that I learned in Church.

1-2s outing gave me an idea to organise a BBQ for you guys. This way I can spend more time with you all as I only teach half the class D&T. However, as alot of you are going away during the Term Break, I shall organise one after the term break, to help you all relax before the exams.

Hope you peeps had a good rest. A new week begins!

Stray Kittens up for adoption

Hi people,

I have adopted 2 strays last week.

I have provided them temporarily shelter but i am unable to keep them long term.

Hoping to find a good home for them.

Two female Kittens. Toilet Litter trained (will be provided for new owner), along with some boxes and blankets that they are using right now.



Anyone interested and can give them a good home, pls let me know.

Thank you.

Nearing the Term Break

After a long gruelling 8 weeks at school, some students are starting to snap.

I had to face 2 major discipline issues (luckily not 1-1) in this week and as I talk to the students, I can tell that fitting in to the school culture is starting to wear them down.

1-1s, remember what I said about Stephen Covey's Time Management Table. It is very helpful to remind us to do the right things at the right time, effectively.

Play when you should, (your seniors know best how I relax in my own way) and study when its time to study.

The exams are like a brick wall that you are about to crash into. You can either do nothing and pray that last second you can create a miracle, or prepare yourself by finding ways and means to cushion the impact.


Myself I live great dreams outside of my working world. Once or twice I did create same sensations in the scenes that I am involved in. But none of it was by chance. It is by pure hardwork and focus that I manage to prove my worth to others that are much more senior and experienced than me.

A phrase that I read somewhere once that inspired me.

"How would you know the boundaries of the "Possible", if you have not crossed into the "Impossible" ?

Happy National Day!

Although a little late, but this is a Happy National Day to every reader of my school blog!

Sorry 1-1, for not being able to spend the National Day lesson with you all. I am the chair person in charge of the Concert. And while you guys were jeering and booing away at the concert, you have no idea how much hard work the emcees and commitee had put in! >.<

Anyways, I feel that the Concert did pull off well, especially all the Emcees. The video was also quite nicely done right? *wink*

This year's concert felt quite special to me as I was involved in it greatly. So much so that I had to "feel" that spirit again, and I was at the Esplanade today to view the fireworks. No choice, I didnt manage to get tickets to the show.

One thing I felt proud of was that I stood up and said the pledge at 8:22 pm although only about a hand full of the crowd did the same. The rest just giggled and laughed away and took pictures while the entire nation was reciting the pledge.

Feel proud to be a Singaporean. If Gong Li and Jet Li and other international icons are choosing Singapore to be the country that they settle in and to provide the education for their children, Im sure that is something to be proud of!

Being a wet blanket:
Coming week is the 7th week already. Guys, 3 more weeks to Sept holidays, and then after that, another 3 more weeks to End of year exams.

Are you ready? Gentlemen (and ladies) Start your Engines!

Public Speaking

Thank you Catherine for reminding me.

I have just started this Public Speaking exercise for 1-1. This exercise involves getting each student to present something for about 10 minutes in front of the class. Hands up, all those that shiver at the thought of standing in front of a class? Dont worry, you are not alone.

I believe in grooming you all not just in your behavior and academic results, but also useful skills in the working world.

I was once a very shy and quiet student in class. Teachers hardly remember me as I was the"invisible" student. However, when in University, I realised I lacked alot of presentation skills and public speaking skills.

One example I remember was when I had to prepare on a Module while I was in University. I spent long hours researching, and making possibly one of the best powerpoint presentations ever in my life. But when my turn came to present, I was all Jelly legs and Sweaty palms. I did not do a good job at all.

I scored an average for that Module.

However, I was lucky later in life that my hobbies "forced" me to learn to compose myself in front of large crowds and to handle talking to people who were "more powerful" than myself.

This eventually helped me ace most interviews thus I was able to work at some of the largest local banks in Singapore the moment I graduated.

It is my sincere heart felt wish that each of you will go on further in life as a mature and well opinionated individual. =)


PS: If any of you have some issues that you wish for me to address, or talk about. Be it my opinion on some current affair issues or class happenings, feel free to leave a note in my Chatbox and I will look into it.

Cheers!
