Been some time since my last update. Was always tired when I got home from NIE. The train rides are energy draining. :(

Had my ed psy presentation yesterday. So glad it's over. The whole of last week was burnt on this presentation. Yes, I didn't manage to complete any other assignment. We stayed back to discuss on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. And Thursday was spent printing out the stuff, correcting this and that, and making sure everyone in class was informed of the change in venue. >_<

Many times we tried to relate things back to our school experiences. Over lunch and chit-chat sessions, they discovered all the weird things I did last time. Ok, and probably how weird I am. Like I think html is easier than powerpoint and I rather use latex to make my slides instead of using powerpoint. We had quite a good time working together (oh well, they probably had a wonderful time suaning me).

I hope to finish all my assignments before CNY. :)

Happy 2008!

Today marks the start of a brand new year. 2007 had not been a really fantastic year, but the problems encountered did make me a stronger person.

Family: We are going to have a breakthrough in the number of people in the family. Haha. In 2007, I took up slightly greater responsibilities in the household, partly because mum's health conditions deteriorated. I hope to see a more healthy and happy mum in 2008, as well as an united family.

Friends: I did not get to spend much time with my friends in 2007. It was in their absence that I realize how much I've missed them, as well as how wonderful each of them is. I guess very importantly, they treat me well from the bottom of their heart. No hidden knife in their smiles. I hope to spend more time with them this year. :)

Personal Development: I hope to take up some courses and develop new skills. Maybe a language course? Pick up some computer courses? Haha. Must spend my LDS well.

Relationship: Haha. Don't worry, I'm not the contributer to the additional family member. Furthermore, I don't think I'll be getting married this year, so there's absolutely no need to start digging out your piggy bank and saving for my big day. Lol. As I have told some of my friends, I won't be having wedding dinner. To my dearest (haha, I know you want a low profile, so I shall not mention your name), thanks for being there during my struggle with the three musketeers. We have been through a lot last year, I hope the coming year will be more smooth-sailing.

Schooling: I have left NUS at last. The five years as a mathematics student made up a really memorable period. I'm now in the midst of the transition period from a student to a teacher. As a trainee teacher, I sometimes reflected deeply on my personal encounter as a student. I must say I was really fortunate to have teachers who have been truly good role models, even up till this point of time. It is partially because of them that I want to become a teacher. I have had friends, who are truly friends. I need not have to be too careful and protective when they are around. In 2008, I look forward to a good start for my teaching career.

Before I go, here is a video i took during the countdown at Marina Bay. Short video of the fireworks. Enjoy. I wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2008 ahead!
