My first day

Woke up at 5:25am.
Took a lift from my friend to school at 6:15am.

Talked to my pupils almost the entire day.
Extremely tiring.

Thanks be to God!
I survived my first day at School!!!

By the grace of God

Tomorrow,
I will officially start as
a beginning teacher.

I have no idea
how I am going to
do a good job.

It is all
by the grace
of God.

Please uphold me
in your prayers.

It will be
greatly appreciated.

Have yourself
a God blessed week!

Unusual display of LOVE

Have you seen a young swallow that is unable to fly?

I saw one yesterday.

I tried to walk nearer to take a look at it.

Guess what happened?


The 'parents' actually tried to attack me to protect their young.

What an unusual display of LOVE!

1st Official Day @CZPS

My first official day @CZPS.
It was Car Rally Day for staff!
A time for bonding.


We came in 2ND, Silver.
Thank God!

A Prize to remember my 1st Official Day @CZPS.

Faith

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1

Happy Father's Day

Here's wishing all fathers
in the world,
"Happy Father's Day!"

May God Bless All Fathers!

Pulau Ubin Revisited

Revisited Pulau Ubin today.
It was a sunny day.
I'd a great time with Francis Tan,
Dominic Lim & Jeremy Chua.

As you can see, it's durian season.
The guys picked 4 durians.
One actually fell just a few steps away from me.

The boat ride to Ubin is $2.50 per person per trip.
To and fro is $5.
Jeremy ferried his bicycle over to Ubin.
He paid an extra of $4 in total.

O yes, the durian tasted surprisingly good.

Thank God for a safe and wonderful trip!

HAIR for HOPE

Any takers?

Small Steps Are A Big Idea

The prize of successfully completing one duty is the opportunity to do another. One thing is certain: what isn't tried won't work. The most important thing is to begin, even though the first step is the hardest. I agree with Vince Lombardi: "Inches make champions." Take one small step right now. Don't ignore the small things. The kite flies because of its tail. It's the little things that count: sometimes a safety pin carries more responsibility than a bank president.

Consider what Pat Robertson said: "Despise not the day of small beginnings because you can make all your mistakes anonymously." Value the little things. One day you may look back and realize they were the big things. Remember this on your way up; the biggest dog was once a pup.

-John Mason, from the book Know Your Limits Then Ignore Them

Wet Market

I bypassed the wet market this morning
after visiting my GP.
And decided to snap a few pictures
to share with everyone.
