i saved the blog entries of hwee shan and sebas for your touching words in their entries...its very encouraging when u read testimonies lk that..its only then that you really feel that the effort you invested in lives have paid off...right from the start of my teaching, my aim is to invest myself in the students, whether issit academically or in their personal lives...

my eventual aim is to use my life to inspire and transform other lives, only then will my life be meaningful before the Lord...thats my goal and i work towards the goal...till now, i may not be able to achieve all that i desire, but along the way, i do hope lives have been touched and changes have happened...and it brings much hope and motivation to the work i've invested in...

but i know, its not the approval of Man that i'm looking for..my joy isn't built by the compliments and praises of Man although it may affect, but my ultimate joy comes from knowing that whatever i'm doing pleases Him..thats enough..so i'm not affected whenever there are pple who may hate me for what i'm doing cause i know i'm righteous before Him...

Lord, may my life continue to be a living miracle for all people around..whether i am their teacher or not, let me continue to be of great inspiration and influence to them!

flying in a few hours time...may this trip be a fruitful and a blessed one! will fly back near midnite on 28...seeya, take care and God bless every soul!

this is class 3H..a love-hate relationship with this class..so unique...unpleasant experiences with them before..in fact, this is the class where my temper is the worst, the shouts are the loudest, my mood is the worst...but yet, they're the ones who bring the most laughter, the most fun and the most meorable moments...had very unique relationships with many of them in class...and my dear bro is in that class too...



to hwee shan: i've read what you've written in your blog..thanks so very much! i'm very touched by what you've said...actually i wondered whether i'm really that gd, but i guess i'll humbly accept your compliments simply because i know u meant it from the bottom of your heart..i'm moved by the fact that i'm able to use God's words to make an impact in ur life and to touch you in whatever ways....i know its our relationship with God which bridged us together..i pray that knowing your source of motivation will bring everlasting joy in you and if u ever need to cry one day, i hope its the outpouring of God's love which brings tears of joy!



luke and bro...i thank God for being able to know them..recently got to know luke much better and for bro, i really thank God for his presence and to send him so that we can share this brotherly relationship...i hope his life has been touched...


thanks 3H..dun miss me...all i want from u is that u can prove to others that you are not the class to be looked down by others, ya?

jel; 8:44 pm

this is class 3G..one of the more obedient classes ard..i can say this class is the next most well behaved class after 3I...will miss teaching them cause usu because of the fact that they are attentive in class, i can get my teaching ideas across to them the best..so thanks 3G for your cooperation through these times





these are my children..apparently..haha..will miss them as my children cause over these few months, i thank God for this relationship which i've built up with them that i really treat them lk my children to take care of their needs and probs...really hope they can still stay strong and know their father is always there for them...






will miss every single one in 3G..be the best in what u are..run your own race, not the race of others and be the best in your race...take care!

jel; 8:13 pm

this is class 3F...didn't get to take a class photo with them today..thats one little regret today...cause i miss my sec 3 classes a lot..this class has brought much joy and laughter all these while and they know how to enjoy and entertain themselves to bring up the atmosphere in the class...so as a teacher, u reap the work they've put in...



was so touched by the card which the class did today for me..after they heard the news, they quickly did a card and signed on it...i'm touched by their response and 3F, i really appreciate it a lot! that is something which your class is really capable of doing..



to 3F, dun disappoint me next term..although i will not be there to see it, but strive hard to perform and excel but at the same time, enjoy the fellowship with your classmates!

came back hone from a wonderful encounter weekend camp...spent meaningful and quality time over there..wun go into details of what happened, but i can definitely say i found my purpose in going there and being a guide for the first time brought much new learning and experiences, learning to work with the Holy Spirit to minister to my guys and speak forth blessings and love...

i thank God that in the busyness i can afford to set apart time to encounter Him and to renew and recharge in Him...and it came at an appropriate time after i've settled with my sch stuff and just before i head to shenyang on tue...His plans for me are the best!

rushing to pack my luggage just now..will be flying off early tue morning...not much time to prepare now..but i'm really looking forward to this trip...eagerly anticipating for the experiences of this trip!

more cards which i've done during the fundraising..thanks to all those who appreciated those cards and bought them!...

jel; 5:38 pm

the photos are pictures of the mother's day cards which i made last week for fundraising...these are orders which i've taken meant to be given to some of my closest 'mums'...the first and third card is for my spiritual mum, esther, the second is for my mum and the last two photos are of the card which i made for my pastor and it happens to be the one which i found to look especially nice...its my favourite card of all and i'm the most satisfied with that when i finished that...

heading off for church camp later..will be back on sunday night..looking forward to that..although it resulted in my schedule to be more packed, but i'm glad that in the midst of my busyness, i can intentionally set aside time to seek and encounter God in new refreshing ways....

may the Lord renew and refresh me in His spirit...

can't seem to post some pictures...weird..but nvm, i'll post them when its working...

was faced with some problems relating to students these few days...and the situation makes me reflect upon when i was still a sec sch student..cause there's certain similarities to start off with..but now standing in the postion as a teacher, it makes me wonder, was i ever lk them back them? i may not realize it when i was still a student, but now taking a different role, your perspective broadens....

well i nv know whether i was or even any of my classmates were lk that in the past but i'm thankful now that i realize it and it gives me a chance to relate better in future situations to consider the feelings and emotions of the other party...

had a great time alone yesterday...went to 2 of my favourite places of all times..bras basah complex and national library...i love visitng the national library ever since they shifted the location to the new one next to bras basah...great collection of books...i can always definitely find books which will meet my needs..was looking at some craft books yest and found great craft ideas for my sis's upcoming wedding..so i'm pretty excited abt this upcoming major project which i'm starting in june...

then went over to bras basah complex..its a great haunt for great books and craft materials..its almost lk heaven for book and craft-lovers lk me...and it was great cause i found a great resource for my sis's wedding autograph book at popular there...prob only this outlet at bras basah has this material...and i discovered a new shop, tecman, which is totally awesome for its collection of christian bibles, books and gifts...

i've been frequently this bras basah area rather often ever since my jc days...and it has been so till now...all thanks to the government's planning of turning the bras basah area into a books/ arts/ culture sector of spore...with the strategic planning of the national library there as well as the various arts schs there, the place is booming with all the shops which cater to the needs of the pple there...

too bad i'm not studying at smu, if not i can frequent that place even more often in uni....
