Yeah! Chinese New Year is coming...

Yeah! Chinese New Year is coming. Heehee... It's time for celebrations.

On Thursday evening, I went for dinner with my dearest church sister, Sin May @ Sanur, an Indonesian restaurant at Takashimaya. The food was yummy, just that the dishes were all rather spicy. Heh, but I like it. :P

I enjoyed the time with Sin May and her friend, Tup. Sin May and I bought a ring each at Fareast Plaza and had our names engraved in them. Heehee... what fun! People have wedding bands, as for us gals, we have our FRIENDSHIP BANDS since we are both still single bachelorettes. Hahaha...

Yesterday, I celebrated CNY in school with my kids. I started the day with mission impossible. Hehe... busy with photo and video taking. Phew... I was running around here, there and everywhere.

Thank God! As I have been training my Infocomm Club (ICC) members to take photographs and videos, thus, I had a few capable assistants. Hahaha. They assisted me in the photography and videography for the CNY celebrations in the school hall. Heh, I also gave on-the-job training of the use of the school's Canon EOS 20D SLR camera for a few of the ICC members. I taught Jasmine, Pradeeptha & Xi Hao how to handle the big SLR camera with the flashlite unit.

After downloading & reviewing the photographs and videos, I realised that the kids still have a long way to go to take better photos and videos. It's a continuous learning process in photo and video taking... the skill of capturing the moments are never simple. You have to be quick and focussed to get the shots you want. Heehee... can't say I am a professional, but at least I am an amateur photographer. I am better at photography than videography as I am still picking up the skills of good videography as I explore the ways of doing it.

Nonetheless, I enjoyed taking photographs and directing the ICC members to capture the moments. Hehe... feels like a news reporter or journalist at times. Thinking of furthering studies in mass communication... kind of related to my interest in media. Just a dream of mine... to study Mass Communication in 2 years' time, after I finish my bond with MOE. I can use the new knowledge and skills more proficiently in my teaching too. Heehee... I am just a big girl with dreams... but of course, commit everything into God's hands. I will pray about the matter of furthering studies and going overseas for volunteer teaching for more exposure and what's close to my heart. :D

Kekeke... Oh no... seem to be getting a flu again... sore throat, cough & sniff sniff. Took flu medicine last night and Chinese cough mixture this morning. Pray God blesses me with good health so I can go happily for the Chinese New Year visitation that starts tomorrow. Dog year is coming to an end... and tomorrow will be the start of Piggy year. Hahaha...

{JUST BE who I want to be}

Just Be
Be strong enough to
face the world each day
Be weak enough to know
you cannot do everything alone

Be generous to those who need your help
Be frugal with what you need yourself

Be wise enough to know that
you do not know everything
Be foolish enough to

BELIEVE in MIRACLES

Be willing to
SHARE your JOYS
Be willing to
SHARE the sorrows of others

Be a leader when you see a path others have missed
Be a follower when
you are shrouded in the midst of uncertainty

Be the FIRST to CONGRATULATE an opponent who SUCCEEDS
Be the LAST to CRITICIZE a friend who FAILS

Be sure where next step will fall, so that you will not stumble
Be sure of your final destination,
in case you are going the wrong way.

Be LOVING
to those who LOVE you

Be LOVING
to those who DO NOT LOVE you,
and they may CHANGE.

Above all, BE YOURSELF.
