This may be hard to believe. I think I am more busy now than term time!! :O
Worked against time for the Open House, being the Chair for the events, then meetings after meetings. From School Mgt Meeting to planning of Bird Flu etc.
I thank God for leading through the Open House. It was a huge success. Many activities and many stations to see. People were willing to come forward to volunteer despite of a short 2-3 weeks of prep. Weather was good, considering that it was actually raining for the past few days.
Want to write about the prom. but writing it without some time to talk about my emotion will noy justify the significance of the event. So... shall write when my mind is clearer.
Anyway, tml another meeting!!

Thank God still... Open House is over and well done.

Staff welfare comm organised a farewell for P at Batam.
Was reluctant to go since it means leaving my family behind for a whole day! Well... have to go means have to go.
Batam is smiply uninteresting. Nothing much to see. It was shopping, shopping and shopping. Of cos, sitting in the bus and listening to the tour guide singing in a few languages. That's more impressive.
Anyway, went shopping. What is good to buy? The tip is to follow the 'aunties'. They know if stuff is fresh, cheap and good. So if they stamp their approval by buying... follow. If they walk away, don't buy.
And I think it worked.. haha. Wasn't cheated.. haha
Thank God for the safety and smooth trip. Had a good time talking with friends and sleeping on bus.

I agreed to have a booth for Clean and Green Week School carnival, just slightly less than 1 month before the actual event. It was by faith that it would be ok.
Thank God, it turned up not only ok but better. We got Merit for the Enviro-innovation and there were only 1st, 2nd and 2 merits. Yay!!

God is gracious.

I was thinking I coudl relax but it turned up otherwise.
Had been tasked to chair the Open House for Primary Schools. So work work work and stress ..
Thank God, that He is leading me though. Had our first meeting. The ideas generated were wonderful and everyone is chipping in.
Thanks.

My daughter knows how to say scare. I have not read any books on psychology of fear or anything on when the emotional state of fear starts in a person. But just based on two children, I suspect it is a later stage development. Karis used to walk around in stranger's house or shopping centre without turning back to check if we are around.

Recently, she gotten a way to handle fear. When watching TV, coming to exciting, suspenseful moment, she actually uses her hand to cover her eyes and look through her fingers. ha ha. It was really funny. When it is really scary, she runs to us.

The drawing done by Hanern. He drew the trees and grass. Asked my wife to draw his house and flower.
Notice the first tree? He realised the colour and changed it for the other trees.
I recall what CS Lewis said about Christian growth. He said God is hard to be satisfied but easily pleased. It is true for being a father. I am so pleased and happy to see my son's master piece, but satisfied? I want to see him getting better.

The man who worked hard for the school. He stood on his belief on what is best for the school and gave WSSS facilities that no ordinary neighbourhood school would have.

He dares to ask "Why Not?"

Though never totally agree with his belief, but I respect him for daring to ask Why Not? and doing his best for the school.

This photo was taken recently. Doris was not in school that day. 5 years... not a short time.

It was rather funny to hear my daughter, speaking in a commanding manner, with her finger pointing "Kor Kor, SIT there." I think she is immitating actions she watches, including from TV.

Today was a relaxing day. Went to Beauty World for lunch and took a look at PL's dad shop. Lunch was good and weather was most suitable for a roof top hawker center lunch. Good to see my children aptetite coming back after weeks of cough and cold.

I am enjoying the slower pace too.

Thank God!!
