Disappointment, or feel blessed instead?

Applied UPA for today's appointment with HDB for the selection of flats.... but sadly to say, we did not manage to get the flat at Jalan Bahar.... Has to wait for Oct's ballot... 6 more months to go...

Though disappointed, but after a few hours of sadness... come to think of it, actually also good lah.... at least dun have to worry if flat comes early, we may have to go ROM 1st... then what the situation now is, we can confirm that ROM solemnisation n wedding dinner can be held on the same day... which is what me n Bong had been wishing for...

We had always wanted to have our solemnisation n wedding event on the same day... so now it's like, we had got what we wanted... coz if Oct's ballot, we successfully booked the flat, we have to ROM within 3 months, it's still within our wedding day...

Now, we can concentrate on preparing our wedding event... this weekend, we gotta handle some minor stuff for our wedding... though in the end, flat is gone, but i'm still looking forward to owning our very own flat....

I'm looking forward to our wedding day as well.... gowns had been chosen... June will go down for photo shooting!!! wow, so exciting!!

Accidents can be avoided actually

Yesterday i was bringing my C12 class downstairs for dismissal.... basically, everyday my last few periods are taken up to have lessons in the class....

As usual, i brought them down to the respective dismissal venues.... but when we were almost down to the 1st storey, 1 of my pupil tripped n rolled down the stairs.... he hurt his left side of his face, a cut near his eye, n bled profusely..

it gave us a shock... i quickly brought him to the sick bay, and announced on the PA system for 1 of my colleague to come down to perform first aid...

When the accident happened, this boy of mine was walking beside me, the rest of the class was behind me.... just before i had time to turn my head around to remind them not to run, he already rolled down....

He commented that some1 has pushed him down the stairs... regarding the details, i wouldn't want to elaborate on whose fault it was... His form teacher called his mum to come down to fetch him to the doctor... i stayed with them too, as i felt that the pupil fell when he's with me.. so i think i have the responsibility to wait til his mum arrived...

Actually, i think, such accidents can be avoided. i'm not trying to shirk responsibility that when children get into accidents, teachers are not to blamed at all... i just felt that, we had always been reminding them not to do this, and not to do that... if they insisted in doing something, what can we do?? Mayb when things go out of hand, n they got hurt, then they will learn their lesson, otherwise they dun realise what is actually dangerous...

If they dun react in a rushy mentality, walk slowly n carefully, all these can b avoided... I just hope that he's OK.... Children, please take good care of yourselves ok? dun make the whole world worry... u all r just too over-protective.. that u can't even take care of yourself properly... please learn to grow up...

13th April - Friday, Friday the 13th

Today is Friday! A day which i always look forward to, so that i can take a rest at home n stay away from the pupils in my school.

Today is Friday, and yet an important Friday... What a coincidence is, today's date is 13th, Friday the 13th. People always say if the date 13th lies on a Friday, it's not a good day. How many people actually believes this?

I may believe it 50-50, but definitely not today. Today's the 13th, Friday the 13th, but today is my precious puppy Coko's 5th birthday!!!!! His birthday lies on 13th April.... But this year is different from previous years as i said earlier on, today is Friday.

Just a blink, Coko has been with us for 5 years, he's 5 years old... In 2002, when we first bought him, he's just a small n naive puppy which was only 2 months old... Now, he's an adult dog, though still innocent n naive.... We all love him so much, that he's already part of our family.

Soon, i'll be getting married. I think i won't get to see him so often in the future as i'll still put him with my family members. There's simply no way for us to abandon him... He is just so important to us, important to me....

Here's my wish to my precious son Coko... I pray that Coko will always be so healthy n cute... May he stay away from illness... i wish he can be happy and live on with a life full of love n concern for him. I promise i will always love him and treasure him.. he is not just a pet to me, but a companion, a living thing on earth that God has given to me. He's the best present. Happy birthday Coko!!!
