Words that brightened up my day

I’m sitting in Mac Donalds right now.Quite frustrated actually because school comps do not have msn, hostel comps mostly hanged, and I had password problems the whole of Saturday night I couldn’t chat. So I have to come to McDs again. Sigh.

Anyway, my physics tutor Mr. Koh registered for Singapore Idol yesterday. We’ve been asking him about it since he told us the last lesson, so he shared about it in class. He told us that the real reason he’s going for auditions is because he is extremely scared about singing in public.

The whole class erupted in laughter, but he went on to say a few things that made an impact.
He said something like,

“We will never grow if we always live in our comfort zones. When we try to conquer our fears, we become better persons. If I never practise that in my life, how am I going to tell my kids to be courageous and try new things?”

I was edified and encouraged by his words because it’s actually kinda scary being in Singapore..away from home. It reminded me to have faith and walk through this journey bravely!=D

Yahh…so that made me very happy. I’m also very glad to have a teacher who doesn’t just teach, he shares his life with his students. Really, just feel so proud to have a teacher like that. Makes me think that being a teacher is actually very rewarding and meaningful.

p/s: PE lesson again tomorrow. Groan.

PE and my birthday

I had my first Physical Education lesson on Tuesday…and I came to a whole new realization of what Pendidikan Jasmani means, or, should actually mean.

We did 8 rounds round the 400m track…push-ups, crunches, and some jumping stuff. I almost DIED. If I had not cheated by walking almost a quarter of the time, I am quite sure I would have died. A classmate had to run beside me and keep telling me to “move my legs despite urgent signals from my brain to do otherwise”, or else I would have given up. And I thought St. John training was tough enough…stupid assumption.

Well, PE’s not bad for a birthday present huh. Considering that I will have two 50-min lessons each week, I hope by the time my 18^th birthday comes I will be able to do everything required without panting.=P

Anyway .…just want to say thanks to everyone who sent me their wishes/cards/smses…thank you 06S05 for the cake and card..you’ve been great classmates to me, hope we’ll still be in the same class after 2^nd intake..and thank you to my hostel mates for the celebration at night….most of all, thank you God for giving me this life!

Happy 17^th Birthday to myself !
