update

Had a long long day yesterday,
went to school in the morning in-case there are kids that wanted to ask me questions in preparation for the Science Paper on Tuesday...

then went for a concert at the Esplanade, like I mention in the previous entry, courtesy of a friend from SGC, oh ya, didnt watch it alone, watch it with a new friend.
Didnt stay through the whole performance.

Soweto Gospel Choir


Vocals were pretty strong,
and like it is its Grammy Award winners and its all the way from South Africa... not easy ar.

I was sitting in the hall listening to them, thinking, where is God in this performance?
What's so Gospel about this choir?
Then I realize, its the prayers that got them here, the among of selection of the selections.
Its the glorification of the Lord through the ability, its the boldness that decided to embrace.
Its the overcoming that they did.
God is good!

When all's done its almost 6+ 7 when I hit Sembawang, took the wrong, long route...
But finally reached my colleague house with Rocher!
Yes I love Rocher! Its one thing I dont mind receiving considering I'm a very practical yet sentimental person. :D

Then finally hit home, came online for what I dont know... :D visit blogs I think, then watched Transformers! :D finished up the last 1/4 of it, still wanna say that its all moving really fast.

Hmm... maybe I should go watch a movie tomorrow,
Tomorrow's the last dash for me... Monday see what else they still want to ask me, I'll just sit and be available. then Tuesday its all up to them le...

Today had a powerful prayer meeting session!
Received a vision, dunno is it a sub-concious image, or is it something more than that...

Anyway, yey! Holiday is around the corner!!! :D

China

I wanna go Beijing, Hangzhou China this December holidays,
Because its the winter season, prices will be slashed,
and its before the Beijing Olympics, prices will naturally shoot up next year.
Really need a good break.
Dont want it to be a case of holiday is over and realize that I've not done any Temple Repair...



SGD$2000 will be more than enough for airfare, accommodation, food and shopping.
Expecting 13th Dec to 19th Dec,
anyone keen?

What kind of mission trip is this? the kind that says I'm ready.
Daddy dont want to go because it is cold...

They say its because of Global Warming so it wont be that cold...

Break

Hey Hey, today is a good day, did project with my kids and met up with my 3/4. Went out for good food which my colleague recommend, and the best part is, happen to meet him there as well. :D

Photos galore!



Its at Riverwalk there if you know where it is... :D Beside the CQ area.

My too shy to show face de darlings...



One of them was just trying to form sentence with the names of the wine when we notice this...


see anything special?


With all the shapes and funny pictures, :D interesting bottle aint it? :D


Chef Recommendation: Bacon Strips with Broccoli ($18++)


Tonnarelli - Spinach Noodle with Mushroom and Cream ($15.90)
well worth the money esp with the sause and the spinach noodle, thats what that made it special by the way. Thank God for Olive Oil. :D


Beef Lasagne: think its $14+, not exactly the best amongst the 4 main dish we have on the table


Agnello: Lamb Shank with mashed potato and mint ($18.90) Its really good according to the 2 mutton fan. :D


and the very potato-y Mashed Potato :D nice ($4)

how can a meal be complete without..........

Desert!!!

Cant see clearly?


okie, give u closer look...


Ricotti: luscious and creamy cheese cakes made from the finest ricotta cheese ($5.50)
quite oki,

Tiramisu: mascarpone cheese cake with ladyfinger biscuits, coffee and cocoa ($5.90) \
didnt really try it because of the alcohol content.


Diplomatic: puff pastry and sponge cake layered with hazelnut custard and chocolate ($5.50)
Quite subtle hazelnut taste, its good for people that doesnt go for strong taste~ and the chocolate sheet on top is dark chocolate. :D


Soffiato: warm dark chocolate cake with chocolate chip icecream ($6.90)
This was the waiter's recommendation. The moment he pass us the menu for our desert selection, he says to try this. :D and true enough there was its reason why.

Are you ready?


... Can you see the chocolate thats oozing out...


Since Marche at Suntec closed, I've got no place to go. But today... hey hey...


:D What my darling val designed.


Was caught by the contrast btw the streetlamp and the background,
reminds me of solitude...


was on my way home when I saw this,
WoH... when was the last time you see such showy suspension? :D
and its 3 in one row. :D

Go try out the restaurant~

outlook

Today... met someone unexpected in school...
someone from church...
someone I fancy a little. :D

:D

just in-case you are thinking for me,
nah, not much of a direct interaction with him in church,
know nothing about him
dont have his contact number
not in his circle of friends.
physically incompatible
:D

hey hey,
whats your outlook like today?

My outlook? 40 loveables. :D

Oh ya,
one of my kid received a direct impact on his arm today, end up have to do arm sling for him. :D

Amazing...

oki, for once, there is no reason to rise up early on a saturday morning,
going to sleep.

Good night peeps!

Pirates

wah... 3 days no update... not that it is very uncommon,
:D
got the "lock laptop to table" cable the other day, thats why my laptop has been sitting on my school workdesk, so no updates,
anyway, for today, let me post up what one of my pupils wrote in a compo writing. :D
I sure was smiling when i was reading it.
Was marking it in a relief class and the pupils commented that i was smiling while reading it and asked me to read it out.

It was a compo about how would it be like if they were this character called Miss Joan in the chapter of "Ship Ahoy!".



I did, and they smile too. :)
Here goes:
-
If I was Miss Joan I would set up twelve big bed in my ship. I would set up five candy bar shop and eight chocolate shop in the other ships. Instead I can be a teacher. I can teach children how to be a captain. I would train them everyday and find somebody to replace me.

If there is somebody who can replace me... I can enjoy a trip to India to donate some of my savings. (P.S. only $1, I wonder how much it would be in India! :) ) I can also donate my clothes, I wonder, who wants my used pirate clothes... Hmm... I think some would want! (P.S. I hope so, so I can buy grand and expensive clothes! Hope Ms Ng would buy my clothes to.)
(P.S. Ms Ng is My "Pirate teacher!!!)

-

:D

love the humor
did you smile too? :D

beautiful

a beautiful sight



open palms represent the heart, the willingness to follow what that has been planned.
Surrender unto His control, the openness of the heart for Him to take over...

The beauty of the multitude of raised hands. Every single one in the congregation.
Confessing, showing it out, "Have Your way Lord"

and I surrender all to you... and I surrender all to you...
when im weak you are strong you're my feet when I cant move on,
you're the light, in the dark, you're the whisper inside my heart.


Be Bless
Love,
Amanda

Worship

New songs



Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity



Where would I be without you, here in my life, here in my life.
-

God is not looking for the best song, the best tune, the best worship leader.
He is looking for clean hands and pure heart. Worship thats from a heart that truly adores Him. He is worthy.

kids

Looking back at the things that has been happening, the things I blogged, about kids, the interaction I have with really small children.
I think I love kids.
I love to see the growing mind.
I love to be able to assure the little ones that things will be fine,
To be able to look at them and guide them.

To push myself further, set example, being routine and orderly that will enhance the development of a child.

I love me.

Be Bless~
Love,
Amanda

Got reminded, If I truly love them, then why do I scream at them...
Because as the bible says, "Spare the rod, spoil the child"

movie break

just arrived home from watching a movie,



A well-deserved break I would certainly say!
Anyone that knows me will say "Must be comedy Romance" :D

yup, thats very true, its comedy romance,
but this time, not so much about romance,
but rather just the love for a person.
The nanny's love for the child, the growing needs of a child.
:)
Now that the child is really attached to the nanny and the mummy and daddy seems to be falling out, will the nanny choose to walk away if the situation expects her to do so?
What will you do?

Reminds me of another friend of mine, also in this education line.
Dont know why, but my line of thoughts is just so different.
I'm amazed by what the person say. And to think that person's job is so much more on character development compared to mine.

This day, it became a question to me with regards to my job.
Is this job to me, just about doing what the job requires, clocking the hours, or is this a job that I would truly love the children, care for their character development?

You ask me, I am totally turn off by the person.
Dont know why, this job seems to be more of a holistic development job rather than just another 9 to 5 job.

Of course I understand whats on the other hand, I too have class that I see for less than 2 hours per week, the situation makes it all so unbearable, but I cant seem to just go in for knowledge transfer. I want more than that.

Maybe at the end of the day, people will say, "Ya, Beginning Teacher, still very energetic"

Let time tell.

I wanna go Australia.
Presence Conference.

Be Bless~

Amanda
