Mr Bong was injured 23-07-14

Oh well, he was injured again, this time round was the hand...

It all started with him playing badminton as usual every Wednesday. I was on course, thus cancelled my tuition slot. While on e way back from express bus 502, i received his call ard 8pm, which i think was abit abnormal, as he wont call me at that time, as he knew i will be having tuition, n i didnt even tell him my tuition was cancelled..

He told me he was injured, i was like, OK then? then he said he think he broke his arm.. colleagues called for ambulance etc. It was impossible for me to rush back home or to e hosp in e shortest time, bcoz when he called me, my bus was only at suntec area. It took me quite some time to reach back to Jurong, then i went to take my car w/o changing after work, to NUH A&E to find him.

He needed to be hospitalised, n even go through surgery, bcoz his bones were fractured. 

He will be on leave til early Sept, n lagi best, his body is full of scars now. 

Every year, he would 'surprise' me with different wounds... Haiz.. dunno when such 'heart attack' can stop.

meeting up with a pupil from Nanjing 18-07-14

Recently i am v packed at work, bcoz of this week 21st to 30th we have 2 trainings.. 

My pupil from Nanjing arrived in spore last thurs, n she is going back tmr morning le. Why n how did i get to know this pupil?

In 2006, i went to Nanjing for an immersion prog, together with my LH Peihan, n a grp of pupils. Wenjun was 1 of the pupil there to immerse with us.

Though we only spent 10 days there, but she still kept in touch with both Peihan n me. Through emails, n we keep in touch for these 8 years.

She is a v intelligent girl who did well in her studies, n rich family backgrd. Soon, she will pursue her degree in Canada, n she wana continue studying! Time really flies, it proved that time dun stay for anione.

8 years, n she is 19 years old. wah, seem as if i v old leh. Haha. We had a great chat last fri after my work, though i was super late! I wonder when will b the next meetup with her. Mayb gonna wait til her term break, or if there is any chance tat i would ever step into Nanjing again. But technology is so advanced. We can also email each other, like we always did for these 8 years.

Wenjun, hope you have a safe flight home tmr, n may u have a wonderful campus life in Canada. All e best to you, n i will always miss you!

a lazy Sunday 06-07-14

Sorry for not updating my blog for ard 2weeks+, had been v tired n busy.

Finally can blog abit abt my life, as i jad just finished planning my lesson for the coming Wed evening class.

At workplace, started to get busy since my 2nd week of work, preparing 3 quotes to raise PRF, collating results from diff workshops' evaluation and need to tabulate into excel spreadsheet about e results, doing up attendance lists for the upcoming workshops n courses etc.

Indeed there r many things that i need to catch up as this is a totally new field to me. Long hrs of facing the laptop is another challenge for me of course. Haha.

I feel happy that colleagues there r really nice. I got to know diff frds from other departments, n i enjoy having lunch with them too.

I had been busy, esp 2 of e weekdays. N from yesterday onwards, my Sats will b packed too. I felt really exhausted after work practically. Spent too much energy on the laptop, straining my eyes badly somehow i think.

Today is the only day i can see both my boys for the whole day. Lucky Jaden sleeps well... Or else the both of us wouldn't b able to sleep til 0945 today! So happy! Haha... Jav n hubby got up at 0900... Ever since i started work, I couldnt bear to bring Jaden home, all bcoz everyday need to get up super early by 0600. This mth i would b v busy coz will b outstation for many days, from 21st to 30th.. Lagi must get up earlier, coz will not b driving.. need to take mrt. 21st to 23rd is go paya lebar again. n after tat is 111 somerset.

Next tues noon will go recee with superiors of the function room that e workshops will b conducted in. Fri will be department offsite retreat, whole day event outside. I will need time to adjust to the work culture here, n i think i will enjoy my time in this company. Stress sure have, but is to see how we handle. Not really totally desk bound job for me, but i can b able to see more things n learn more stuff when out stationed. It's not an easy job, n of course, colleagues n environment play an impt role. Let's see how long i will work in this company. I hope can be an enriching n happy time.
