how time flies

for the past three weeks, i have been teaching every saturday at the kindergarten where i used to teach before i came to nus. got there early and started walking around looking at the pictures of the students.

the K1 kids that i thought had already graduated...most were now attending the p2 tuition class on saturday. was looking through the pics when i realised the nursery classes which i used to teach were the graduating class of 2004. remembered some faces from the pictures. some looked the same while others look more grown up. a look at their names printed at the bottom bought memories back. how i used to play with them, how cute they look when they were learning in class, and of cos the crazy questions they asked which always caught me offguard. kids...

was looking at all the faces when my eyes rested upon this little one. always thought she was very quiet in class. constantly holding hands with this other boy. used to think they like each other. remembered telling myself she will grow up to be a pretty ger, because she had very special features, and what was amazing was this bronze tan that she sport...it was as though her mom took her tanning every week.

it's amazing how time flies. it's already three years since she was in nursery. time was short but i wondered if she had lived her life well for the past three years. her life was short. she was one of the victims during the tsunami. went phuket with her parents and only her dad survived. it was wierd looking at her pic. will the boy sitting next to her remember her as he looked back at the graduating photos. will he even know she went away and was never coming back? i don't think so.

it just feels pained to see a life end so abruptly...i guess i juz took for granted that there's more years to go for a person. who is to know she wouldn't even reach primary one? 25 april is approaching...and at times like this u juz wish bad memories will be erased. this is the month when u'll start wondering if anyone remembered the person who died four years ago. that fateful wednesday when god took her away from us. perhaps none of us will mention it. perhaps some of us would visit her without others' knowledge. perhaps she is still deeply remembered. perhaps she has brought me lessons to be learnt. perhaps if she didn't go, she would be 12 this year. perhaps if she didn't leave, i wouldn't know the horror of death.

wierd to say...if not for her...i wouldn't even learn to appreciate pink color. haa. love u ning.

tagbox expiring...

flobber juz sent me an email...said my tagbox is super inactive and will be expiring soon...haa...help me post some msgs can?! hahaha

Who am I - Casting Crowns

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me


I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

good and bad

went for tuition today...was feeling really sian abt it...was walking along the boon lay interchange when a little toddler bumped into me. he was going at such high speed i was amaze he didn't cry when his lips smacked against my thigh. haha...seemed like he was playing 'chase' with his mom. next min i know...he was staring at me agap...and he even waved goodbye...and gave me a super happy grin...sure made my day...so cute!

went for tuition...jesslyn (my tutee's sis) got a new tutor...and guess who? it's pauline...a friend from church...so qiao...singapore really very small!!! was teaching kathleen haldway when her golden retriever pounced on me. super friendly dog...licked my face...haha...was really happy to have so much attention...until her maid scolded the dog to go back into the shed. that's when i realised in the past 3 months that i've been here...i've only seen the dog twice...once when kathleen opened the shed for me to see and this second time.

asked kathleen when was the last time she played with her dog...she said it was two days ago...i was like 'don't u let it run around?' then she shook her head. jerry sure is being neglected! so evil. apparently, her dad bought it cos her big sis wanted it and rewarded her jerry when she got good results. asked her if her big sister (not jesslyn, still have a bigger one) played with it and she shrugged! can u imagine that?! you don't even know if your pet is getting attention from anyone. jerry looks like he's staying in the prison cell, only bigger. hai...so sad...was so tempted to call the spca and sue them for neglect.

kathleen was so upset when i told her how bad they were...imprisoning jerry like that...guess wad...she said i said that cos i wasn't the one rearing it...i was like 'if i know i'll treat it like what u did...i wouldn't even think about having one'...hai...then she said they didn't know golden retrievers would grow to be so big...i was like '!!!!!!' kids....and irresponsible parents. i cant imagine...kinda spoit my day though
