TP starting soon...

Teaching practice is starting soon... this coming monday to be exact... I'm posted to a high achievement neighbourhood school and i'll be going in the afternoon session... I really wonder if all the good things i heard about the school is true... only one way to find out~! Go there and experience it...

I only heard about my confirmed posting yesterday afternoon... apparently, they couldn't decide which session to post me to... haha! I didn't even have to attend any meetings prior to school reopening! i guess they were very busy with the H1N1 virus thing and the 7-day leave of absence thing...

Anyway, the news stated that if you returned from affected countries on or after 22nd of july, you are required to stay home for 7 days before returning to school... The list of affected areas are Australia, Argentina, Canada, Chile, Dominican Republic, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Panama, Philippines, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom and United States of America.

When i saw the news, i was worried... coz i was in malaysia and i didn't know if msia is one of the affected countries... They sent out the news, but there was no mention of the countries involved... luckily, our teacher's portal has the announcement too... and they mentioned the countries...

SO.... I was not from an affected country, and therefore, i am starting school on time! 12.30pm...

No more SIMS... No more Criminal Minds... Here come Unit Plans, Reflections, Lesson Plans and more...

So little things happened since...

Been trying really hard to go exercise... Suppose to play badminton for the past week but the courts around our area are under some kind of renovation and the CC's one is always booked... And nik has been sleeping in... even now he is still sleeping... was supposed to play at 2pm... hahaa!

Was supposed to go on this learning overseas trip with uncle gary to learn how to take charge of these types of trips... however, because of my upcoming teaching practice, i'm unable to go~ Which is sad of course... even though the pay is very little, about $50 a day, but its the experience that counts... pluz, food and accomodation are included~! Beka and Andy went... Port Dickson Eagle Ranch~ Should be quite cool ba~!

Met up with augustine from Fishingaffairs.com and learnt quite a lot from him. He was helping us prepare the equipments required for our kelong trip and we spent another 50 bucks at the tackle shop... Next time need to organise fishing events, he is the guy to go to!

Our kelong trip is from 22nd june to the 24th june... Best part? I'm supposed to keep that week free to attend meetings (if there are) at the school i'm posted to... totally lost track of the days man! But the trip's already booked, so i can't do anything about that... i can only hope that the meetings are scheduled on thurs or friday lor~ :)

3rd Kelong Trip! This time, more prepared~

Sims 3

Recently installed The Sims 3 and i've been playing it ever since... Almost 10 hours of Sims per day! This is super unhealthy man!

• From creating the Sim character, to moving into a new home...
• From buying new furnitures to remodelling the house...
• From working 5 days a week to getting promoted and now working only 3 days a week...
• From friendly introduction, to holding hands, to kissing, to making out, to massaging, to WooHoo-ing and trying for a baby...
• From making new friends, to getting married and having a baby...
• Now? In the process of juggling 3 characters and making sure that their needs are met!

ADDICTIVE is the word for games like this... However, there will be a point where i decided i have enough and have to stop! SAVE and QUIT~ There's too many ppl to handle, too many needs met.. I think the next SIMS game really needs a "task action reposition function" where i can shift the queued actions around so that i do not have to cancel everything and requeuing them again! Its really irritating!!

Now that i have recovered my strength, it's time to continue with the sims! Hahaa!!

Hope i get a chance to WooHoo in other places...

Gatherings.... Finally some socialising!

Met up with some secondary school friends today! Jeetha and Edwin~! Edwin came to singapore for a short holiday and to help his sister move house, so we took the opportunity to meet up! We went to jeetha's dad's restaurant at novena called Fiesta Brasilia...

This restaurant was the first brazilian restaurant in singapore originally located at sixth avenue, but now, it is relocated to United Square at Novena... Its a humble little restaurant with brazilian staffs and chefs~ nearing closing time, the staffs will start playing their brazilian music~! Really cool atmosphere... Buffet, $38++~! Okay, enough with the publicity~!

We really had a great time, talking about the old days, our current "affairs", the gap between then and now... Almost forgot to take pictures for remembrance~! Haha! I tried to upload the photos here, but somehow, it is not showing... nevermind ba~! next time then~!

To Buona Vsta!! The school that closed down for private development...

Wakeboarding~

Wakeboarding is really fun and really really really TIRING~!~! My whole body is aching after our wakeboarding session yesterday~ Especially in the arms, shoulders, back and waist area... My ankle injury was aggravated because of the turning action required when you try to change direction of the board... Knees aren't doing well too... Haha! Need to strengthen them before the next session~!

What i really love about this session was the company and the weather~ The weather was great, not too hot, not too cold, really perfect for wakeboarding~ The water was VERY SALTY though... swallowed quite a mouthful especially when i crashed into the water face first~! I had the honor of having rachel and khor kai on this trip~ rachel, quite a beginner managed to ride out of the wave heel-side! great accomplishment! as for khor kai, she is a pro lah~! at least to us, she could hold the handle with one hand, ride out with one hand, and she rides in and out of the water with much ease!! should have seen her, SO COOL~! haha~!

As for me, i was able to ride out across 1 wave toe-side, and back in (and out again) across 2 waves heel-side! I finally crashed trying to ride back into the center toe-side... To me, i have jus hit another milestone in wakeboarding~! Next one, i'm going to try to jump the waves~! i dunno how to describe all that has happened because i dunno the terms wakeboarders use~ But i'm sure you guys know what i'm talking about and can imagine what it looks like ba~!

We took some videos and photos, will upload them soon!! Jus stick around~! :) Oh, one more thing, the company we went for is Punggol Sea Sports Accessories. The boat was quite old, but the driver is really experienced! He knows how to requlate the speed to suit our needs and situation~ So i think for $85/h, it is really worth it~!

Wakeboarding! Expensive but REALLY FUN!!

E3 2009!

Was watching live streaming of E3, yesterday and now... I realised suddenly that i've really lost touch with the gaming world... It seems like gaming has evolved quite a bit and i'm still stuck in the yester-years! Microsoft's Xbox 360 seems really revolutionary with the new controller-less environment! Nintendo seems a little weak and boring during the conference but there are some fantastic games for the Nintendo DS~ and as for Sony? I'm still waiting for the conference to start... Haha!! Thanks to gamespot we are able to view the conference even if we are not physically there! Cool.....

Alright, better go read up on the latest news and games soon!

Games!

Results are OUT!!

I was wondering what can i blog about today since i did not do anything significant for the past few days... but i remembered suddenly that my results are out! I'm very happy with my results~ it was better than expected... so i'm glad~ I expected a C for my math but i got a full grade up. So quite lucky le ba...

Other that my results, really nothing to blog about liao... so boring my holidays! I spent my days slacking, watching online tv, reading several pages from different books... Went to the library quite often to borrow books of different interests~ But that is really about all...

Wanted to go on a boat fishing trip, but nik, andy and beka were quite skeptical about it... saying things like, it will be boring.... dunno if we would be able to catch anything... and all these stuffs... so i gave up on the idea...

Whats coming up then? Wakeboarding! This coming monday, 4 gals, 1 instructor, 1 boat, the sun, the water and the wakeboard~! cool..... Haha! Hope my knees can hold up! :)

Yawnz...
