I just can't believe it. It's been so long since I last updated and log in that I completely forgotten about my log in name and password. Had to go through the hassle of looking through emails, etc to find the information.
Just thought it would be nice to update something about myself for ppl who might be still popping by my blog every now and then.
Things to be happy about!
1) Sarah clearing her exams and she is now enjoying her long-awaited holidays of 3 months.. Nice..
2) Xingjuan who passed her driving! Yay*!! Which reminds me that I haven't cleared mine either.. Some day... @@ I'm still waiting for Rah to register and then we can go learn together.. Oh well~
Life after marriage! Aha! Most of my friends would be asking me 'How's married life?' It's quite hard to explain in words but to me, it's a sense of blissfulness now to be with Wilson. We had initially wanted to go for honeymoon in Italy during June but now still hesitating on whether to cancel the trip due to the Influenza A going on in Europe. *sighs* KIV first ba ~ Time flies and now it's almost 4 months since my status changed from single to married! I'm still trying to get the hang of it with students calling me 'Mdm Yan' ... It sounds old, maybe i'll get them to call me "Mrs Oh' next year. Heheh
School has been busy, extremely busy with Primary 6 students. Almost draining my energy with so many supplementary classes in the afternoon and the extra remedial lessons in the mornings and afternoons. Somehow, I managed to survive and am still standing now. Teaching the upper primary is quite challenging but satisfying in a way, since I tend to gain more experience in many ways.
Anyways, I am just typing random thoughts now. Coming back to read my last post in the blog brings back sweet memories about my wedding. Many thanks to friends who helped in one way or another. You really made my day, it wouldn't have been that special without friends who are there with me. The CWP Gang~ Rah and Mom~ Church friends~Your presence really helped alot and I hope I can be there for you guys/gals too next time when it's your turn. Through the process of getting ready for the actual day, there were many ups and downs. Incidents that made me see who are my true friends and who are not. It's strange that people that I once knew and loved as a friend did not give the mental support and encouragement as I thought he/she would give. It's disappointing to come to realisation that some people are just not worth the trouble.
I still owe XJ a meal... Daniel and Derrick were given the treat le.. *sighs* Maybe during June holidays then we meet up. Need advance booking... somewhere near your birthday?
Still a few more weeks then it's June! Endure!

Long Post~
It's been some time that I've blogged and my last post was about half a year ago.
Lots of things to update...
1) Work
Life in school had been fulfilling for the past half a year. I wasn't teaching a high ability class; rather it was a low ability class with many so-called 'notorious' kids. Still being the form teacher and seeing them acquire knowledge everyday had been very satisfying. I do hope that this zest of mine will stay ever as I follow up to teach them next year.
I’m had mixed feelings when I heard that I will be teaching them next year. I just graduated and am still considered a ‘new’ teacher. I’m uncertain about a lot of things. Would I be shortchanging them on knowledge? Would I be able to handle kids that are under a lot of stress? Would I be able to control the class well? It’s like tons of questions popped out in my mind.
On the contrary, I was excited and joyful about being able to spend one more year with them. I’m not exactly emotionally attached to them. It was just being able to follow up and see the progression of each individual student... It’s like a journey that I had embarked and wish to follow through for PSLE.
Of course, time management will be an issue. Twice a week supplementary classes and on top of that, my CCA day. 3 out of 5 days, I will end late and most likely, heavier work load in markings and admin jobs. So, I got to stick my foot firmly on the ground next year. Persevere and squeeze the kids dry next year in preparations for PSLE. I do wish that all of them will pass and move on to secondary schools.
I’m blessed with good working colleagues for 2008 and most of them rendered help when needed. Next year, I’ll be working with P6 teachers and hopefully, will be able to work in unity. Kindness goes in a cycle and sometimes, it’s start from one simple act. I don’t mind being the person to start the cycle going as long as it makes teaching life fun and joyful.
2) KL Trip
The KL trip was a timely one. Though it was a bit of rush to go during that week, I managed to pull my friend – Rah, along. Work load and stress had already clobbered me even before I stepped into 2009. It’s the meeting of self’s expectations and I do admit, that it could be quite high sometimes. I’m not a perfectionist but I do like to challenge my own limits.
Though we went at the wrong time (where the sale period is not on), tons of walking and thinking at night helps a lot. There wasn’t anything to buy but we went twice to the spa. It’s indeed refreshing, relaxing and worth the money. I don’t think we can get two body massages and spa treatment for S$100… It’s a pity that SL can’t join us.
I had expected a lot from the water park in Sunway Lagoon. However, looking at the water slides, I just felt that the Singapore Wild Wild Wet was much better. It’s surprising to see people in scarves and not taking them off, even at the pool.
A Short Trip but a refreshing one, for me at least.
3) Home
I started shifting my stuff over to Wilson’s place. It feels awkward trying to take my belongings from my home to his. I can’t bring everything over. I don’t have a room big enough to place ALL my stuff. Alas, reality sinks in. I’ve got to split up my stuff and throw whichever needs to be thrown. Decisions, decisions, I have to decide what’s best to bring. The room’s not very big and the cupboard is shared by the 2 of us. I have to compromise a little. Work clothes definite and some of my barang barang.
Some may ask, what’s the big rush shifting over things now? I still have 2 months left, ample time… Apparently not. Next year, I’ve foreseen that I’ll be pretty busy with wedding stuff and teaching in school. Thus, this holidays is the right time to shift things over…
Weekends were burnt painting the room, arranging the furniture, setting up the curtain rod, buying curtains, buying bed sheets, etc. Lots of it was D.I.Y. since it’s cheaper rather than hiring someone to help with the fixing the stuff. Tight budget, but we’ll manage somehow.
4) Wedding
Most of you would have heard the wedding stuff now. Nothing much to say~ but I do hope all of you can make it there. I’m looking forward to my wedding. Getting excited as it draws nearer. Though we’ve been together for almost 10 years, it wasn’t an easy journey. Lots of downs rather than ups till 2008. The ‘ups’ we’ve experience so far were in 2008 after my graduation. Thank God!
5) Friends
I’m glad that I got to meet up XJ during the holidays~ Sometimes, I feel at peace just listening to her. Her voice seems to comfort me in a way, even though I might have tons of things to share and tell her. I’m more of a listener, I think. Though sometimes words I say might be hurtful and piercing in a way, I never meant to mean it in a negative way. I’m frank, yes, only very frank to people that I cherish. I do hope you will be strong and strong in a way that you can be proud of yourself one day. Nothing’s easy but if you try harder enough, it’s possible. It’s just a matter of time before you know you’ve already crossed the hurdle and had moved on in life.
Finally, I get to meet SL and Rah together.
I’m meeting Alaina and gang this Sunday. Looking forward to it.

God's Love Manifested~
School was good till the day I had to return after the June holidays. Well, I had to start someway, someday, sometime, etc. Packing and buying stuff for use in the teacher's room was great. Thanks for Rah and SL for accompanying me to Popular and throwing tons of notebooks in the basket... (>O<);;
Now my table's neater ^^
OH! I nearly forgotten to mention the KL trip. It was wonderful~ Spa was hahahha~ A memorable experience and of course~! Shopping! I bought working clothes and etc~ Fun! I cant wait to plan my next holiday!
I'll be going for my Teacher's Investiture (8th July Tues) and Convocation (26th July Sat) soon. It will be a little different this time (*^O^*) Graduation sounds familiar as so I did after my Diploma days. The word brings a nostalgic feeling~ Especially Rah and SL are not with me this time round. I cant throw my hat at them. *sighs* This would be the 2nd time that I would be graduating from NIE. Hopefully, it wont be the last ~
I've watched plenty of movies during the month of June and it's still counting... Kungfu Panda (x2), Chronicles of Narnia (x2), Zohan, etc~ Zohan was a hilarious type of comedy and it's been a while since I could laugh till my stomach hurts while watching a movie. Not bad~ those who havent got the chance to watch it should go for it~ Dont give it a miss.
God has indeed blessed me with many good tidings for this year. Financially stable job and marriage plans are on the way. I am kind of excited too. Tons of details and budgeting to take care of ~ It's not a headache and I believe that me and Wilson are enjoying the process at being noobs in everything.
Perhaps I need to view the wedding gowns first and then start to diet.. Orz..

Day 2 after Exams
Random thoughts of random-ness.
Clearing notes and stuff. Waiting for someone to pick it up soon or not. =/ Tons to things to do. Room's in an awful mess. I need to grab a wedding present for my friend. Feed the dog. Parents' not at home because they went for a short holiday. Revamp a website for my brother.
Clearing notes was fun. It's like saying goodbye to them forever. The tons of writing and the messy scribbles are 'bye bye'.
Currently, I'm listening to music, sipping tea and typing in my blog. Yawns. Wonderful life I have for my 2nd day after exams.
I've got a BBQ on the 12th. Steamboat on the 17th. ^^~ and whole day tuitions on Sat. before I quit my tuition job in Khatib.
I anticipate driving lessons soon and and ... more to come.

Labour Day!
1st May 2008. Labour Day. Dont think I'm gonna to make long post. Spent the entire day with Wilson. Time to pay back the lost time with him? Hehe~
We went IKEA and was met with like 100002039240 people there. The weather's hot and could possibly melt metal with the blazing heat from the sun. Was fun walking around till the getting home part. The feel of fatigue or being dehydrated... Showering did me good and we went for a car tour around Yishun. Hehe~ Went to a beautiful jetty near the sea. =)
Lovely days ahead. Till I get my posting...
