i am officially not part of the sentosa corporate staff.

it was such a fun experience. looking at all the crowds, all the pretty pictures of flowers, kids and everything, making new friends and yah, just simply talking to anyone.

cracking small talks with the avid photographers i see ALL THE DAY AT WORK at the photobooths.
so much fun having small talks with strangers and LITTLE KIDS!!!
with the sentosa nametag, i can talk and play to little kids without the mums giving me the please-get-away-from-my-kids look and all other looks they can possibly give.

i love my colleagues. esp, those at the photo booth!
mad, shuyin and KE XIN! :D
also, kavitha, my first partner for the sentosa flowers
athiya who gawked at guys with me before i got transferred to imbiah photobooth!

kexin, mad and me wanna give birth.
all the kids there were TOO CUTE! i feel like kidnapping all of them and put them in my thumb drive!!
AND!!! guan, qiling, chewy and jj came to visit me!
how sweet are theyyyyyyy!!! LOVE THEM TO BITS!

i finally took picture with this moving house in front of my photobooth!
IT REALLY MOVES!!

colleagues!! once a sentosa staff, always a sentosa staff!

guano: enjoy your last few days of workk!

miss ao1 truckloads!
but friday is coming so soon. i will get to see all the alphas again!
and my chaifan aunty and uncle! and MISS N G SC!!
and mr a le ong and mrs na ir

church today was good.
the message was impactful. restoration and renewal of faith.
esp the part of the eagle taking periods of renewal to rejuvenate.

went dog-run with lyd and carrie and HAPPY!
Happy is carrie's very happy jack russell! :D
he is only a 3 mth old pup and he was so very cute.

dog-run is like a grass patch where all the dogs can run on their own, making friends with other dogs and everything.
all the dogs are PRETTAEEEE! ((:
unfortunately, i've to leave early cos' i need to rush down for tuition
and i was so unfornately caught in the rain and so unfortunately at a place where no cabs drive by.

irks. tuition is taking it's toil on me.
anw, i am giving my tuition up.
see me as irresponsible or whatsoever, but i can't handle this stress anymore.

every lesson is like a battle against everything.
i get into the battle with fear and NO confidence.
afraid that i won't be able to give the best to him.
i can't teach for nuts. in fact, i don't see myself as being competent enough to teach.

my sis said: if you cant even handle a mainstream kid, how are you going to help all those kids with special needs?

it's true. but i see it in a different light.
for mainstream kids, the main purpose of education is to excel, to do well for exams. but it aint the case for kids with special needs. the purpose of education for kids with special needs is to equip them with skills that can make them self-reliance.

life-skills and academics are different.
teachers can equip students with life skills but in terms of academics, i don't see teachers as magicians that can turn a student who always fail to someone who gets As without the student putting in loads of effort.

as for my student, i don't see a point in giving him all the answers for ALL the questions.
but if i don't do that, i will spend 2 hrs on one question.
i wish i could do more, but i could only pray that he will try his best to do well for his ca1 tmrw
3 more weeks at m c y s.
wish that more interesting things will come along.
but i am used to the monotonous work.
