SINGAPORE AIRLINES...

i luuuuuuuubbbb eeeuuuuuww!!!

i really really do!!!

*huge-ass silly grin on my face*

tHere'S nO pLace liKe hOme

For the first time since the last week of Feb, i'm home on a weekend...
And boy does it feel gOOooood to be home!!!
I woke up to brekkie the sister brought from the market - Porridge! Canto-style!! NICE!
Took my time reading the Papers from cover to cover...
Played with the kids when they came over after lunch...
Kicked back on the couch doing more reading till i fell asleep =P
Watched plenty of telly when i woke up...
Threw on a yummilicious moisturizing mask and napped a little more...
Had dinner by candlelight because we were doing our part for Earth Hour (Sign up. Switch off. Make a Difference.)
......
Basically i did nothing but chill today =)))
I IS HAPPY!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Earth Hour.
Boy am i glad SG participated in this beautiful event this year.
I can still remember the first time Earth Hour took place in Sydney...
The sight of the beautiful Sydney Opera House with its' lights dimmed...
And Sydneysiders gathered around by candlelight at The Rocks/ Botanical Gardens/ Circular Quay area.
All in the name of pledging commitment to reduce global warming.
Although i gotta say, not many peeps i know here in SG actually bothered to "switch off" for the Hour today... well, guess all i can do is play my part, and pray that in years to come, they will too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fred called late last night.
Some time after 0000hours this morning actually...
I was lying on my back, on the mat in the living hall, just talking crap with him for almost an hour...
And it felt like those days when i was back in Syd... living @ 3/21 Anzac Parade, Kingsford... and he was over my place late at night... and we were kicked back with a beer and just chatting away about...... stuff... i guess... anything and everything really......
I miss those days... it's been a year since i saw Fred! Didn't even see him during Convo last April cos he was in Brissie when i went back to Syd!

aRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGgggh!!!

freaking hell!
koalas are NOT bears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
stop calling them koala BEARS already!!!

heLpleSs :(

they were so nervous... so tense... so 'poor thing' today.
first with the Language Test.
then with the Interview.
some were so nervous they went to LS halfway through the Paper!
then they were those who were so nervous you could see their hands shake so violently as they held up their works during presentation.
and also those too timid to speak up during discussions, simply bcos they were so insecure with speaking in English.
:(
i feel so... sad... i guess... for them.
these kids want so much to leave this place and go to a better place... to study... to have a better future...
yet the obstacles that stand in their way...
this whole issue called Language.
their works are 'fab really.
but with their very VERY limited English skills?
:(((
N. and i spent much time after the Interview trying to address the concerned parents whose worries ranged from their kids' choice of area of study, to Language problems, to $$$.
huge chunk of talking was to explain the issue of Language of course.
have to try so hard to make them see that the extra months of English prep is FOR THEIR GOOD!!!
these kids CANNOT (and SHOULD NOT) be subjected to such stress of having to cope with moving from home, culture shock, Language problems, funding issues... all while trying to keep up in College!
...
......
.........
ARGH!!!
im just very upset.
feel so helpless to the situation.
want to do more but don't know how......
