WOW! had a great JJ nite yesterdae with my students and oG! haa.. it was really heart-warming to see them again as it has been eons since we last gathered together, esp for my OG4! :)

it turned out to be wild and high, instead of an emotional session. i was mingling with the crowd, as if i have returned to the status as a student. i wore my bikila shirt with shorts, in an attempt to camouflage myself. lol. i guessed only my students and peers were the ones who knew my true identity! :) haha..the kids were saying, " hey ms wong, i'm not used to you in such outfit ! ". haha.. i was duh... lolx.

i missed school life badly. despite tonnes amount of homework and the endless tests, Jc life was one of the best moments in my life. i befriended many pals, taught my first batch of students, and weaved many beautiful memories as a student and staff :)

i gave all my might in cheering, as i felt the sense of belonging to this big family once again. everyone there, regardless if they were new members or has been part of JJ, were full of zest and were cheering at the top of their lungs. it was a spectacular sight, a sight that filled my heart with pride and joy!

despite the recent unpleasant attacks at JJC, we were still going strong, and not succumbing towards criticism. it's only when u are one of us, then you will comprehend the reason why we are so cohesive, as if we have been applied superglue :)


my fav og 4 ! :D

haha.. Pei liang kena shoot by us :X

haha.. centre of attention! abit blurred...

with my S10 :D will change a better one when i get e pic !

hey folks, thanks for ur concern! i'm feeling better now, but there's still room for improvement. haha.. i will take good care, so rest assured pals!

anyway, came across a blog of a sajc guy, and i was really proud of JJC after reading his blog entry. JJC had sent a mass cohort of students down to Padang on Thursday for YOG countdown, and it was a success. we not only received great compliments from the authority, but also praises from students of other colleges. the sa guy mentioned that we were VERY spontaneous, dancing to the rhythm, and warmed the atmosphere at Padang. haha.. i was really glad that efforts had paid off! well done JJC!

while he has positive comments for jj, others might have nasty ones as well. sometimes, i do wonder, why do certain people have such extreme negative perception towards jj? yeaps, it might not be one of the top jcs, like those situated in bukit timah, but i dare to say that it has the friendliest and nicest students, teachers and staff. we might not be top in terms of academic results, but we are definitely one of the top in terms of school bonding.

some might argue that so what if we are great at camps, but fail at results?

i will like to say a word : we might not be a peak performance academically, but that doesn't mean that we are not improving. it would be devastating to realise that perhaps after two years of jc life, when one looked back, all he could remember was endless of mugging and nothing else! while one might achieve good grades in the end, but is this what a student should only achieve eventually? i doubt so.

it's unfair to judge a school based solely on its academic achievements. other factors matter as well. we can't judge a book by its cover, or point finger at someone due to our biased judgment. a person who has attained high level of education might be smart, but it doesn't mean that his character is not flawed. in contrast, a person with low level of education might achieve more victories in life in comparison. many real-life examples in the society had revealed the inconvenient truth, but people are still obstinate and head-strong to admit their mistakes even though they know the reality.

give others a chance to prove that they are worthy before announcing death penalty. learn to have an open-minded mindset, and you will learn to appreciate the other side of JJ :)

each has its own strength...

didnt went to sch yesterdae, since it's the first day of JAE, hence no lesson would be conducted, and i was not needed :)



went to look for darling to accompany him to have lunch. haha.. i think it has become a habitual activity to have lunch with him if i have no school. anyway, he said that he felt no restriction when having meals with me. he could eat at ease. i told him if he still felt awkward when dining with me after two years, we have to reconsider ur relationship :X haha...



after e meal, things started to go wrong. while waiting for e NUS shuttle bus,i started to feel giddy and weak. my vision turned blurred, and i couldnt stand. i felt nauseous, and the feeling was really unbearable. i tend to suffer from this symptom whenever i am in a crowded and stuffy situation. i once suspected i am suffering from such disease.



felt better upon reaching his office. while waiting for him to end work,i did my presentation for school work, changed my blog, and chatted with my students. everything was fine then. however, when we were going home, i felt like vomitting, and my stomach was grinding, and was really uncomfortable. i thought i ate something wrong, and it might be food poisoning. at that point of time, i had not vomitted yet and there's no diarrhoea.



upon reaching boon lay, i couldnt bear with it anymore. i told jav i had to see doc immediately. off we went to the nearest clinic, and waited for our turn. i told e doctor my condition, and he said that the greatest possibility will be stomach inflammation or something like that. thanks to jav who asked e doctor abt my giddyness, he suspected i had low blood pressure. he took my blood pressure, and it was 90/60, which was well below the normal ( 120/90). he asked me to stand to take my blood pressure, and it dropped! gosh!



he told me there were two possibilities, either it was some genetic blood disorder, or i am suffering from anaemia :( since there's no history of my family having low blood, i am quite sure it's the latter. haix... i asked the doc if the illness could be cured, he said , " it's for life". my heart sinked.



i decided to take blood test to confirm the result. that's the first time i took a blood test, and i was really nervous. haha.u could have asked jav how was my reaction when he injected the needle and drew out my blood. haha.. it wasnt as painful as what i thought. come on rouisanna, u had gone for blood donation thrice, and u remained calm during those moments. maybe it's because darling was there, so i was more sked, to make him worried more !!! :X muhahaa..evil me.



anyway, the results will be out in a few days' time, and i have prepared myself mentally for it. haha.. watever it is,i'm goin to thrash the illness!!!



yeaps, yesterday night was pretty terrible. vomitted four times,and the food that i ate all came out. so my stomach was really empty. haha..good way of slimming! :X oh crap rouisanna, be serious! haha.. didnt have a good sleep, but thankfully, i felt better this morning. didnt really dare to eat much, just ate a bowl of fish soup :D



okie, i will be returning to sch tml, if i am feeling well :D take good care rouisanna!



it's poor darling's turn todae. he having diarrhoea. haix.. i guessed it must be the food we ate yesterdae!



alrite,shall go and rest soon :D

You are an Idealist
#

As an IDEALIST, you are distinctive for your integration of confidence, imagination, willingness to explore, and desire for competence over style.
You have a strong capacity to comprehend the inner workings of things, finding new ideas and innovative insights to feed your curious nature.
#

You are quite comfortable in the realm of abstract thought. You don't need a practical solution to every one of life's questions.
#

You are comfortable with the decisions you make in life. You don't need to second-guess yourself, or seek a lot of opinions before you make up your mind.
#

You enjoy the routines that you have created in your life, and don't feel the need to shake things up just for the sake of change.
#

You generally succeed at what you do, and others would describe you as successful.
#

It is important to you that products be efficient – looking good has to come second to working well.
#

You aren't the kind of person who needs to collect stylish items in an attempt to create an attractive environment – you know that what matters most is function, not style.
#

You have a strong sense of style and value your personal presentation - friends may even seek your style advice from time to time.
If you want to be different:
#

You take time to explore your own thoughts and ideas, but this experience would only be heightened if you opened yourself up even more to others' ideas.
#

Your faith in yourself and your lifestyle is well-founded, but the occasional foray into the unknown might broaden your perspective and help you see things differently.
how you relate to others

You are Attentive
#

Because you like spending time with others, understand their feelings, and often know what is best for them, you are ATTENTIVE.
#

Some people are merely concerned about others, but you take action, helping people when you have the opportunity.
#

Although you care about others, you are hesitant to trust them to act in the best way on their own.
#

You don't let your concerns with people go unnoticed: if someone has hurt your feelings, that person will hear about it.
#

People energize and excite you—you are able to have fun and be yourself when you're around others.
#

You also learn a lot about yourself by talking things out with people, even if you don't always share things that are important to you.
#

You have a strong sense of right and wrong, and you're not hesitant to express yourself.
#

Understanding the dynamics of a situation is an important skill that you have, and you often intervene to clarify things for others.
If you want to be different:
#

You care about people, but finding the ones you can truly trust will allow you to get closer to them.
#

While you have strong opinions about what is right and wrong in the world, you risk coming across as judgmental—be sure to consider different perspectives when voicing your opinion.

time really flies. it is the last day of PAE today. honestly, i can't bear to part, just when we get to move one step further.

though our encounter was really short, u guys have really given me hope in teaching. the time spent together might be insufficient, but we have weaved many beautiful memories as one. farewell is imminent, but without farewell, we will never come to realise how important one is to each other.

it's my first experience in teaching and my first job as well. i could recall vividly when i first stepped into classroom to conduct tutorials. it was class S15, and they were so adorable that i felt no fear when standing in front of them. lessons with them were never boring, and i was glad that i was given a chance to interact with them :)

S10, S13 and L01 were the classes that i had to conduct lessons with on Wednesday. Though it was exhausting, but i never felt the weariness during tutorials. the sense of satisfaction that i felt after each tutorial greatly exceeded the tiredness. when my students managed to understand the concepts that i went through, i was elated. at times, i was so worried that i did not make myself clear, hence i kept asking them if they understood my teachings. thankfully, everything went well. i guessed i was fortunate to have them :)

my last class was S25. i missed the most lessons with them, due to holidays and the release of O lvl results. in fact, they were the slowest in progress among my 5 classes as a result. however, thanks to their attentiveness, i managed to complete my teachings on time :) they might appear to be naughty initially, but they are really nice people after u get to know them well.

i might be their teacher, but most importantly, i treat them more as my friends. a student asked me thru sms yesterdae, " r u my teacher or friend ?" . my reply, " friend". i used to have an aspiration. if i should become a teacher one day, i want to become a friend of my students. i am grateful for what i have, and i really appreciate ur existence in my life.

to my students/friends, all the best in ur future endeavours. whether u r staying or leaving JJ, i hope that ur days in JJ will be one that leaves u with great memories and good friends when u leave the place one day.

once again, a BIG thank you to u, my beloved friend!


I'll reach out my hand to you
I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name
And I'll be there

haha.. had a great valentine's day with jav! :)

he went to sch to fetch me on that day. that's e first time he fetched me from sch ever since i started work. so sweet!

at that moment, i still have no inkling idea what he had for me, so i just blindly followed him to JP. so i was joking with him, " darling, are we going kfc for vdae meal? " lolx. if that's e case, i guessed i would have gone and banged wall straight away.

so we reached jp, and still i had no idea what we were eating. and suddenly, i thought of SWensens! and indeed, i was right. he had made a booking at the restaurant :)

happily, we ordered our " Feast of Love ", which was the Vday set meal which included:


strawberry mango juice. love e straws :D

chicken mushroom soups, with two heart-shaped bread

black pepper seafood pasta

fried chicken cutlet with bread crumbs

" Sweetheart " strawberry cake

we exchanged our gifts. i bought him a brown leather cardholder from goldlion, while he bought me a bag from my favourite shop " Moonriver " ! haha...


her gift from him.

his gift from her.

and guessed wat? i saw my student having a date, and both of us dropped our jaws when we saw each other! lolx. he was sitting in the cubicle next to me, and i didnt realise until he stood up. haha.. our reactions were quite funny though!

some other pictures taken while we were having our meal :D

haha... counting down to chinese new year!! :)

alrite, it's weekend once again. haha.. went to je yest to accompany darl to cut his hair. on e way to e salon, we came across a kitten. it's so so small, and it's so white. i guess e poor kitten had being abandoned by its mum :( poor thing...

as we couldnt bear to see the kitten suffer, we decided to buy some food for the kitten. it was so fragile, and our hearts went out to it. we hunted around for fish in e market, but those hawker centers sold only fried fish. we were not really sure if the kitten could eat that, so we bought a can of tuna from the pets shop instead.

after jav cut his hair, we went back to e place where we saw e kitten to feed it. haha..it curled itself up at one corner, and was sleeping soundly. we " meow meow" , and it woke up. haha..initially it was quite frightened of us. we placed e can of food with a small bowl of water near to the kitten, and waited for it to eat.

haha..it stood there, not knowing what to do. perhaps it could not dig into e can for food. being kind-hearted souls, we poured e content out and placed it on e plastic bag!! haha.. wow, and it started to gobble up e food! both of us were so delighted to see that it was enjoying e food! :)

so ppl, if u do pass by e place at jurong east central, above ntuc on the second storey and beside e restaurant, do bring some food for e cat ok?? :)

hmmm.. next week will be quite slack. haha.. cant hold my excitement for CNY. i can taste nice food, wear nice clothes and collect ang baos!! lolx.. ppl must be laughing at this goin-to-be 19 years old teacher for her childishness. hehe...

it's called young at heart. :D

the cute kitten munching on its food...
my lover.

blue satin dress.


red bubbly short dress.


my second fav dress that i've tried.


my top fav!! :)


last piece that i tried :)

watching stairways to heaven last episode. it's really touching... till death will them be separated... i wish to be like e female character, having an everlasting relationship..
