我开始上课了！

很久没有用华文。今天心血来潮，想动动华文笔，看看是否生锈。

最近，我又重返校园，到学府上课。我修读的课程是Management and Leadership Studies。基本上是一个主任的课程，主要内容是教导我们如何在教育界当领袖，引导教员，朝学校的使命与远景前进，带动整体上的进步。我的资历并不深，因此，在这方面，我的确有很多要进修，要学习。

虽然每天到南大（国立教育学院就在南大的范围内）的路途遥远，但是我还是非常享受上课的感觉。做学生太享受了。你的责任只是用心听课。当老师就不同了。这么简单的道理，我怎么到现在才领会到？

我会好好利用这四个月的时间，认真地学习，思考，反省，看书，聊天，交谈，研究，观察。我更会珍惜这么难得的机会，好好地充实自己，顺便休息，让自己在回到岗位上的时候，更有信心，更有魄力。

谢谢你花时间“听“我把我的感受写出来。

好了。不写了。好困！

晚安。再见！

Xin Xin Turns 2!

Xin Xin turns 2 years old today!

I cannot believe that my baby girl has grown into a beautiful young lady.

She is 2!

We went to the Zoo in the late afternoon, just in time to catch the Sea Lion Show at the Splash Amphitheatre.

Here are a few snapshots.


She was so afraid of being kissed by the sea lion that I had to "sacrifice"!

EEE PC

I think it is absolutely necessary to do a formal introduction of my new toy.

Please meet my friend, the EEE PC, also known as ASUS.

EASY to learn, work and play
EXCELLENT mobile computing experience
EXCELLENT internet experience

Let me give you a glimpse of its size.




I had some difficulty getting it configured for the wireless network on NIE campus, as the encryption code was not compatible. So, my hubby got me the mobile modem from Starhub. Now, we can hook onto the net anywhere, anytime!

From Monday onwards, I can go to school using my normal handbag. No need big haversack anymore!

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL STUFF!

I am doing pedicure...NOW AS I BLOG

My hubby had just bought me an eeepc. You know, the super small and light weight one.

And because it is so small and portable, I am able to type this blog while doing my pedicure, right at basement 1 of AMK Hub, Nail Palace.

Thanks to wireless@sg. Technology is such cool stuff.

Life is great.

I am a student again

I am currently on a full-time 4-month course at NTU/NIE. The name of the course is "Management and Leadership Studies" (formerly known as the DDM - Diploma in Departmental Management) This is my first week and so far, it has been good.

Basically, my timetable runs in 2 blocks; 9am-12pm and 1.30pm-4.30pm. On some days, I only have lecture or tutorial in the morning block. On some days, I am "free" the whole day. Most of these free days are meant for school visits and discussion.

For today(Friday), we are supposed to log into the discussion forum to discuss topics or do our online journal - blogging (an official one--not this one :p )

My daughter is pleasantly surprised that mummy is at home with her. I cannot forget the surprised look on her face when I assured her that "Mummy does not have to go to work today"

There are quite a number of deliverables from this course, some of which are pretty exciting. In a nutshell:

1. Personal journal
2. Designing a 10-week curriculum for a particular school (in my case, Unity Primary School)
3. Regional Visit - I am going to KOREA
4. Report on regional visit
5. Any other assignment from our electives

Quite a lot of work to do huh?

But, who is complaining? Not me!

My New Home

These are 2 pictures of my soon-to-be home - The Calrose.
I only have these 2 pictures showing the poolside.
News is that the project has attained TOP (temporary occupation permit).
The keys are being despatched in phases. Seems like it's by block.
We might be one of the last to get our keys as our block is at the "outskirt".
We'll just have to wait. So exciting!

Some updates on my kids

My new cheongsam!


I'm papa's girl.... (It was Mummy's birthday on 30 Dec!)


Don't I look like a cool dude?


POM POM time!

I've Finally Got A Helper

After struggling with taking care of my boy and the other etc etc for 7 and a half months, I have surrendered.

I've got a domestic helper wef 30 Dec 07. Which happens to be my birthday!

With her around, the housework has been entirely taken off my shoulders. Which is really good. Besides the housework, I'm also slowly training her to wash the car. The biggest relief is the night feeding. I finally get to sleep properly!

Got to rush off now for a meeting!
