1st month into NIE

First relaxing month in NIE has come to an end. D&T will start this coming week with 9 hrs of workshop and 4 hrs of lectures per week. My God! This is crazy!




Director's Relay on Friday. It's been long time I ran 2.4 km with a time of 13 mins. Not sure if those GESL project mates were trying to console me or not. No t-shirts for us since we did not pay $20. Not even a goodie bag.

Went to JP for Pizza after the run. This time real late. Sent Yang Hui, Jelena and Johnny home. Back home nearly 12 mn. Shall stop here for this post since it is going to be Monday tomorrow.

Long Weekend - Happy 43rd Birthday Singapore!!!

This shall be the holiday before we need to wait for quite a while before the next one comes. Went for Money No Enough II on Friday night (1235 am). I dun find it that fantastic except the part where the mum was looking for her RED BRA with Mickey Mouse prints.

Back to hall last night. Managed to clear some stuffs today (Maths Assignment and E-lecture). Read the ICT assignment questions. Realised that I am a bit KIASU. The topic will only be taught on 27th Aug. hahaha. Think I can put this aside first....at least won't be so stressful.

Classmate will pass me the reference books for Educational Psychology tomorrow. Hopefully I can produce the essay within the next 2 weeks before D&T starts. D&T will be the most jia lat, 9 hrs of workshop + 4 hrs of lecture.

Tomorrow need to go to library abt 9 am to scan the streetdirectory. It will be used for my worksheet in the micro-teaching of Cartesian Coordinates. Tuesday, got GESL lectures till 1830. So far, have not met the facilitator yet. NOt sure what is he up to, been on leave since school started. Hopefully he turns up tomorrow. Else, there seems no direction for the GESL project, although we have some ideas what we want to do.

Tonight going to relax. Get ready to chiong for one whole day tomorrow.

Week 2

Time flies and I am already into week 2 of my PGDE. Tutorials have started and we no longer enjoy those long off days with only 1-2 hrs of lessons per day. Luckily, D&T and 2 other modules have not started. I am still getting my Thursday and Friday off.

Met up with the GESL group at Student Hub to finalise the garment for Project Runway this friday. Managed to complete our cape. Thanks to Ravi for being our model!

Today meeting the Maths Tutorial Group to discuss the topic for 10 mins of micro teaching. What topic should I select? Arithmetic? Graphs? Mensuration?

NDP 2008 - Shine Singapore

Happy 43rd Birthday to Singapore!

This is my first time watching the NDP live at Marina. The feeling, compared to watching the parade at home, is totally different. The long hours of waiting under the hot sun is indeed worthwhile.

The march past was the highlight of the day. It has always been my favourite when watching NDP.

The performance by Presbyterian High School was great. The months of rehearsals has paid off. Well done PHS! 3 cheers for all the students who took part!

The National Day Parade ended with the National Anthem and Pledge. I am so proud to be a Singaporean.
