time flies... I will be seeing most of them for the last time... maybe not, we still have prom night :) anyway, it's really sad to see them go... don't know how much sweet memories or impact I have made in their lives but I'm sure they left a giant footprint in my life's journey... thank you for all the autographs that you took the effort to write... I will treasure them well... all the best for your coming o levels! :)

that's Christian with his self-drawn Transformers cake :) btw, his birthday is tmr! 101001! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHRISTIAN! I called him "the binary kid"! it's obvious from his birth date!


that's the frame Christian chose for the birthday shoot!


that's one of Christian's birthday presents. any idea what that is? the answer is in the next photo!


yup! his favourite Transformers character: Optimus Prime!


it's convertible to a truck as in the Movie! but it took me about an hour to figure how to transform it! so much more complex as compared to the one I played when I was a kid! and it cost a bomb too! $99!! courtesy of his aunt! :)


that's the caterpillar that we caught! it has turned into a cocoon! we are awaiting for metamorphosis to take place! butterfly! :)


I love this drawing in one of my kids' story books called Running Shoes. the expression on the girl's face is so beautifully captured! :)

The feeling was so different on the first day of school this year...

Instead of waking up when everyone is sleeping, I was still sleeping when everyone is awake cos I don't have to report to school anymore!!!

Only one word can describe it: FREEDOM!

I can now enjoy unhurried time with my family and in my work.
The feeling that no one is breathing down your neck to pressurise you to meet last minute or unreasonable deadlines is really fabulous!
The feeling that you can spend time to do what really matters and is important is simply exciting!
I am really glad I decided to quit teaching and be more involved with my family and earning multiple streams of income instead!

Dropped by in school today to return stuff and I was glad for one other thing: I don't have to wear a tie and long sleeves to teach and perspire as if I am taking a shower! :)

How is your first day of school!? ;)
