Vic asked me to blog on my first experience working with children so that next time when I am weary, at least I can have this blog to turn to, remembering the first experience.
One sentence/phase to describe my first experience working in Patschoolhouse: "Holistic experience"! Friendly and sincere staff, great environment with lots of plain water(for some closer friends who know me) and finally adorable and lovely children. What more can I ask for?
I love the children, but not their behaviour at times. I've learnt that if I dont like them behaving in a certain manner for example, snatching, I will tell them, "Brendon, I dont like you snatching the ball from Jolene. Can you please return back and ask her politely if you can borrow the ball from her". When you have to repeat this sentence every now and then....... is really no joke, hahahaha.... Thus, the most important character I have to develop is "PATIENCE".
Believing in time to come, I will develop my mind and heart to be like what the WOG says, LONGSUFFERING.
I prayed this prayer before entering into Patschoolhouse this morning, saying,
"Dear God, please give me wisdom to guide the children to become who you want them to be"!
And this prayer will follow me throughout the days, months and years in Patschoolhouse.

4 big cups of herbal tea and litres of water
Vic has a bad sore throat and fever since yesterday night but insisted on wanting to play with Marcus on a Saturday morning. He arrived my house at 10am but was in a bad shape. I then gave a sms to Yvonne Jiu Mu saying we couldnt make it as Vic wasnt well. She was so sweet to send her regards hours later to see if Vic was well.
I made for him 2*Pi Pa Gao Drink, 2*Herbal Tea and tonnes(Litres) of water. He probably drank up to 5 litres of water today.
I am praying hard that he will get well soon.

I've got my dream job!
I love kids, especially toddlers. Been given an opportunity to teach in Patschoolhouse Halifax starting on Monday. I was elated when Miss Ada(principal) told me that I have been selected to be their teaching staff to the 3 years old. All thanks to Angie(teacher from Patschool Sgoon) that I am able to go for the interview! A big THANK YOU to you!! I will be transferred to Patschool Serangoon in year 2011, January. Can't wait to work together with Angie!
During the interview, I was told to tell a story to the 3 years old. Thank God for His Grace, the children were all so responsive and happy to hear the story which I thought I could have done it better. I am so thankful for the benefits as a teaching staff which was doubled and triple more than what I could ever ask or imagine!
Truly, what is ahead of me is "Joy, Laughter, Compassion, Positive Reinforce Challenges, Grace and greatest of all LOVE"!
My motto in the next phase of life(work): "Happy Children, Happy Teacher"!

Victor and Mayce :)
First of all to start with, I am proud to present to you Mr and Mrs.... hahahahaha.. Not so soon la huh..
I am overjoyed to receive this awesome gift from God. The journey of me having a nice impression about him was when we started the project on "Eager Beaver Family Carnival Day". From planning to executing, he never fails to be patient towards things which were stressful and the last min stuff. I was impressed! I thought to myself, what a great event with him around.
From good impression to developing feelings for him, I told myself to pray and if he is meant to be, he is meant to be.. Once I identify that my feelings and emotions are starting to go wild, I told myself not to think anymore because I dont want to hold high expectation.
Didnt did I know that he felt the same towards me. I was so so so so so so pleasantly shocked when he approached me after the Easter Service. He said he wanted to share some stuff with me and I thought it was serious. But when he told me how he feels toward me, I was speechless. I thought to myself, "Oh dear.. I havent got myself prepared".
We talked and talked, ended up in airport. Led by the Holy Spirit, we came to the spot where our cg members were. Woah! We chatted with them for awhile then left for late dinner.
We decided to have dinner at T3. I kinda settled down in my heart and then we went on together. Started to sms to Cheryl and Nathanael coz they are the close buddies in our company. Next I send out email to one of my friend then down to me sending sms to Liang Liang, Karen Chia and Shu Jun, gave a phone call to Zhanwei, email to Dev and sms to Meiyi. Haha.. These are the closest among all friends in my life! :)
To me, it is really a gift from God. I prayed and God answered my prayer. :)

A dream that I have always longed for it to happen
Yesterday night, I dreamt of my very good friend that used to come to church. She was kinda helping out in the cg as a helper, but somehow went MIA after 6 months. I was depressed, heartbroken because I didnt just look upon her as our cg helper, she was my sister, closest sister in the cg.
I dreamt that she was running towards me, giving me a big hug. Tears rolled downed because I was so touched, that moment I've been longing for came to pass, then to realise it was just a dream.
I got up, eyes swollen.. guessed I cried alot in the dream. But it wasnt la.. Something grew near to my eyelid..
I really miss her like crazy. Went to friendster which I didnt touch for the past 2 years, facebook searched for her name but no avail. :(
Anyhow, I dropped her a message in the friendster, whether or not she sees in one day, I dont know. But all I know is I have done what I could, leaving the rest to my Maker.

2010! Breakthrough Year
I am thankful to God for my life that He has given to me.. My family, colleagues, friends and buddies. In the midst of the journey, there were mountains of mistakes and decisions that I have made and were wrong, but they never fail to encourage me and lend me their listening ear.
In 2008 and 2009, it hasnt been easy for me.. Broke up with my boyfriend, undergone an operation. It was just in a span of 2 years when all those happened BUT I still want to thank God, not for bringing me through all the hurts and pains, but to thank him for blessing me with such wonderful people around me.
This year, 2010 is going to be a breakthrough for my life! I sense and believe is going to happen!
My goal is to minimise mistakes at work, be efficient by prioritizing all my work, write on the things to do list and checklist, make sure that all things that have to be done are all done. For my physical health, I want to be able to exercise regularly like.. haha.. swimming once a week (lifesaving course), jog twice a week, go for routine checkup. For relationship.. this year, I really hope and pray that I will find my MR RIGHT. Not because I am desparate to get married, but I think I am in the right age and now that I have fully move on! (how i know? because when i see the person, i dont have the uneasy feeling anymore) :) No hurry, but just keep praying! :)
For my spiritual life, I pray that I will have encounters with Him like never before, not flaky kind, but to really hear His Voice, read the Word and act out His Word.
I am going to stop here. Coz really got to go to sleep. Tmr meeting after meetings.. So got to get charged up!
Dont know why I stay up so late just to write my blog probably because I read someone's blog and he inspired me about Love. Love is about giving at all cost without having intentions to have any returns. :) Something to think and meditate upon..
