Communication breakdown

Dear god,

We were learning about how to teach SEL(Social & Emotional Learning) to pupils yesterday.
But I find the whole workshop quite boring and draggy and it costs me my health again.
Although the school term is coming to an end, it seems that all those small illnesses are starting to make frens with me again. Firstly, it started with indigestion and gastric pain, and then continues with loss of voice, and then continues with itchy throat, dry cough, and here I am, resting at home again. Maybe I don't really have the desire and motivation to go work too...I jus can't stand those long hours of unfruitful workshop, where u jus listen and do nothing about it later on in life because of time constraint........

Anyway, I really pray that me and my partner will be healthy and lively and continue to live life according to your will and our heart's desire. Dear Father, is it wrong living life according to our heart's desires? As the bible says "A man's heart paths his way, but god determines his steps"....I really pray that you lead me to the path of overseas teaching either at bangkok patana school or USA SAF base in texas...I really desire to experience life overseas before my heart is able to anchor at a port in Singapore......

I did thought about something at the workshop yesterday. Its that part about relationship management. I find that communication is the utmost important thing in managing any kind of relationship. Not being judgmental is also very important when one is dealing with another human being. But dear god, why do I have the feeling that many christians in church are very judgmental and they can't really accept "worldly people" and tends to stay a distance away from them????I have put in all my effort in communicating, but somehow the communication is only one-way.....Maybe there's really a price to pay for growing up, being more mature and strong-minded......Maybe we jus can't go back to the good old days, and only time will be able to tear down the wall between us......

The DHL balloon in Singapore

It was a sunday well spent, waiting for the DHL balloon to be flown....The weather was very cooling, with the sun hiding behind the clouds and after a downpour.....We went to Liang Seah Street for lunch first. Don't have much appetite, so ate the 炖蛋dessert and dumpling in a newly open shop. After that, we went window shopping around bugis junction. But the only place which really interest us is Kinokuniya bookstore. My interest for clothes, shoes, bags etc. seems to have waned after I start being together with him......

We waited until 3.30pm when the DHL balloon finally resumed service, due to the weather. At first, I thought the balloon will fly around the skies of Singapore city and we can really see the landscape and skyscrapers of Singapore. But I was quite surprised when I saw the balloon jus rising up to 180m and attached to a "string". I was not disappointed though.....

When it was our turn to go up, we were the first to be in the queue because I wanted to take a photo of the balloon. The trip upwards was quite fun, as we see the landscape becoming smaller n smaller and our view of Singapore city becomes wider and wider. It was great to have a bird's eye view of the landscape of Singapore. There were the Johor waters, the Marina Bay, Raffles Place, City Hall area........As the weather was great that day, it was really a great feeling to be high up in the sky with my beloved.....I jus turn my face against the wind, and u can hear the voices carried by the wind from a faraway place.........

It was overall a memorable trip, and I really yearn to sit in the hot air balloon in Christchurch, NZ again and see the beautiful sunrise and landscape of NZ.......

二等老师

在学校里　她是二等老师
学生只相信级任老师的话　不相信她的话
虽然事实摆在眼前　他们还可以理直气壮地狡辩
这一切使她的心渐渐凋零　渐渐枯干　渐渐死亡
对于教育这份工作

在学校里　她是二等老师
学生只有在上级任老师的课　才像一只小绵羊
而在上她的课时　却变成了一只野狼
这一切使她在上每一堂课时　好像在上战场打战　
可是打的永远是一场败仗

在学校里　她是二等老师
学生通常先做级任老师给的功课
而后才利用剩余的时间做她的功课
这一切使她心灰意冷　让学生自生自灭　后果自负
