easy to dislike

It is so easy to find something we dislike about another.
Better yet, dont need to find, it will just pop.

Why dont we try actively seek out something admirable about another?

Busy Season

Hello Hello,
how've you guys been,

I've been running around for nothing. :D

during this season of break from blogging, I travel to Kota Tinggi and learnt the goodness of fellowship.

On the side note, SIM is starting again, yet again, another season.
But I believe this time I will rise up higher.
Cos I've been through the first semester.

Dont like this studing and working business,
made me so task driven and objective focus.
Bcos every single moment seems to be so essential.

Thrown everything onto the table.
Realized that its really about expectation management.

I want God,
I want First Class Honors
I want the best for my pupils as well.

:D
Who am I?

kk, just know that I'll be busy again,
dont miss me.

New Season.
Keep me in prayer :)

*mUAcKS*

Thanks for coming by~



They caught me too, but cannot learn their way of pronouncing "you"
:D

Cry

Teaching taught me to cry,
The kind of crying that says I'm letting go.
The kind of crying that says I'm giving up.

I am so bless to know the Master Teacher personally.

Amanda

Amanda is missing her conversations with someone.
Amanda is looking forward to the 15th of June
Amanda is preparing for her Psychology tomorrow.

Amanda realizes that falling in love with the best friend is a very cruel thing.
Amanda realizes teachers are really incredible people. *oh, Amanda is a teacher too.

Amanda knows once she gets through her paper, she would have risen up to another level. Thank God for the prayers that my members made for me.
Whats the breakthrough in your life today?

Amanda feels that exam periods are so unhealthy!
She only eat, sleep and study. *should have included exercise...

It is time to wip the body back up into shape after tomorrow!

Amanda is re-contracting for her broadband account which comes with a free Acer Laptop.
She is wondering,
is she just getting a 10mbps internet services(paying monthly) plus a free gift of a Acer Laptop?
Or
is she getting a laptop (paying by installment monthly) with free internet services at 10mbps?
Either way, I win~
Because I can claim up to 400 dollars per year for my internet services. :D


OH I love the blessing of Arise and Build!
God is faithful!

Come to think about it, Amanda has a laptop to bring along to during the holiday! :D

How to go International Business Park... Anyone?

Amanda wants to watch MoviesssSSsssssSSSSssSssss

Just heard on radio:
Newsflash: Twins of different fathers. First day with the married man, the next day the other partner. Within 24hrs. It is possible for the same egg to be fertilized twice. OH Both times Unprotected. O_O

SGD To Ringgit, 2.41
WOH~ Should I exchange now?

Height & Wage

Just heard from the News Broadcast on Channel 5
Height has direct relation to our wage.


for every 10cm difference in height,
Man gets 3% more in wage,
Woman gets 2% more in wage.

OH my goodness!
so disadvantaged to be vertically challenged as well.

Read from another source online,
its only the height at 16yrs old that matters.

height at 16yrs old indicates social life, involvement in clubs and activities which means higher EQ

According to Silverman and colleagues, participation in extracurricular and other social activities as a teen-ager may play a significant role in the teen height premium. Playing high school sports is associated with nearly a 12 percent increase in adult wages and participation in every additional club other than athletics correlates to about a 5 percent increase in wages.

Those who were relatively short when young are less likely to participate in social activities like athletics, school clubs and dating that help teens hone their social skills—skills that eventually will help them secure good jobs as adults, they say.

this is a backdated research.
not sure where did the source of the news come from though.

-
On the side note,
I was reading off the subtitles on the screen while HEARING that piece of news.
The news caster has good pronunciation, no doubt.

Its either because one of my prominent MI is hearing or I hadnt been speaking alot these days.

Psychology

12:32pm*nickname

Whats the difference between men and women?
A: A woman wants 1 man to satisfy her every need
A man wants every woman to satisfy his one need

12:35pmAmanda

although its true, its not the best thing to tell any woman actually.

12:36pm *nickname

true

-

Got this from a friend on facebook. Dont actually know the guy very well, acquaintence, or maybe not even there.

Facebook chat requires one to type in, not much chances of spamming or being bugged.
its more like a type-in message...

So to the unknowing guys,
This is quite a distasteful message really, though its meant to be a QnA thing. A woman who is not interested in flirting with you will not be impressed.

Tinted world, Tinted mind

-

That being said, that QnA actually has very sound grounding,

the Evolutionary Psychology.
How man is genetically pre-set for propagation, and woman is genetically pre-set to look after children.

Yup, I'm preparing for my Psychology exam at the moment...

Did I mention about the Jonas Brothers before? Their packaging seems different from the other boybands this days.

Thats right... Exams.
IT was so bad that I could still feel the milo (drank at abt 8am) when it was 12pm + at the base of my throat.

kk, on to the next paper on next thursday.

Realized that sleeping was part of the preparations :D

Keep me in ur prayers!

It feels as though anxiety has become part of my daily routine... I woke up like every 2 hours at night...

Status on Facebook:Amanda Val Ng looks at the SIM revision schedule, and the Sch's SA1 marking schedule and she wonders... *How to survive?* *Like That Loh.* answers herself dejectedly...

WCP Fellowship

Went down to West Coast today with my cell members.


The weather was really Good.
All thanks for Kelvin and the leaders who arranged. Must have prayed for it. :) Gazillion thanks! Praise God.


Used my camera phone to snap some pictures here and there, first time I see this kind of dock in SG.



















The brothers had fun kicking ball too.



:D yup, one of them was holding on to a bag of fries while kicking soccer :D


Watching them kick the ball, throw the ball across the distance when playing Captain's Ball gave me a very big understand.

When I was 18+ I use to belittle a man's strength. Its kind of like because of my physic, I could carry what most man could carry at that age.

But just through today's game, I saw how strength was bestow upon man.

Its their extra gift to be able to carry, throw and to execute actions with such strength.
That indeed in the kingdom of God. Theres a role for man that woman are not suppose to fulfill or not build to fulfill.

Today was also the first time I sat down and look at a man's game with admiration.

-

Was just chatting with one of the members that was there.
That friend had loads of fun. Added loads of joy to the group.
It really reminds me of the role everyone plays.
That friend kinda became the joke of the day at least that person say.

So then, in your group of fellowship. What is the role you play?

Ever thought of that?
Of course, one will just say, "Just be yourself"
Yup. That I cannot agree more.
Just be yourself. Who you are at that point of time.

oki, got to go sleep waking up early tomorrow to study.

Catch me again~

Went to watch a movie today after going down to school to mark.
Cant stand the intense stress anymore. *breaking apart*

Anyway,
realized that I go for more reflective and no brainner movies more than any other kind.
Like the other time I went to watch Knowing.
Goodness, it was so intense and loud.
Simply do not like the idea of needing to cover my ears.
Came back and dont feel so much of a relaxed and what I would have desired at all.

No Comedy Romance this season.
Lots of block buster though.

Nope,
I hadnt watch Wolverine,
Nope, not Angel and Demon as well.
Nope, not Hangman
Not Star Trek. No need to even think about that.
Not even Fast and Furious.

I went to watch this show that is about the decisions we made in life.
A reminder to really acknowledge that we shouldnt blame our failures on our love ones.
About how that can really tear lives apart.
And when your job undermines you, move on and change one.
:D
I speak like I'm in the situation.
Wonder how I would react if its me in that situation. :D

Guessed the movie yet?


*I must go get a black jacket!

On the side note,
The wife actually has the talent to decorate the whole garden. But it was the man who kinda put up the "fire place" and the Hemlock thing.

Reminds me of the scenario that:

Hey, this kind of construction, heavy stuff really should be done by man.
But would you step back and let the wife call the shots and just help out?
That on the note the you really dont have any idea of how talented she is?

An Inspiration I had today.

Its Sunday,

This morning was very scary, I jumped up thinking it was monday.
Anxiety attack... not good not good.

Anyway,
Was just gathering at the choir area when a thought strike me.

"When I'm dealing with my non-routine kids, am I responding in anger?"

That was a very important thought I feel.
Just as we are being pushed to the end, do we respond in anger, or is there an alternative way to respond in love?

:)

The other issue,
Mat 6:33
I'm repenting.

Mommy says whenever I see her, I always say "I want to sleep"
:D

Shall sit aside and decide if I should watch Army Daze or sleep early.

Les Choristes

hello~

Wat do you get when you put a composer who has given up on music and a group of orphans from WWII together in a classroom?


Les Choristes
25th Apr 2009
Okto
10pm

What has it got to me?

1. Teacher
2. Children
3. Music
4. Singing
5. Hope

Everything.

Update:

Just finished watching the show, I'm very inspired.
That yah, really thats the life of teachers.
Its either the very disciplinarian side,
or the find ways to get it through kind.

and finally, when the teacher walks away, its not a nobody.
But really, it is one person, that has impacted the life of the many that he/she has come into contact with.

The grown up with the wisdom accumulate over the years, looking at a child's deeds and acts, having been there, done that, know of the feelings and thoughts, willing to acknowledge and come back to those.

Tomorrow's Army Daze on Okto at 10pm. :D
Fabulous!
"my ambition is to become a housewife in hougang"
"Oh My Krishna! Be brave! but dont be a hero okie..."

"If Maria is the unofficial name for all domestic helpers, then Fatimah must be the unofficial name for carpark attendents."

"Can technology get more advance? Can Language get more explicit?"

"Establish the closeness with the love one that left, that went away"

"Certain weight that comes with the speech"

"Heartless once I've been pushed and decided. Determination no matter how much I have loved the guy"

"Appreciation. You can get what you want, but not with me"

"Monday must buy Roti for curry chicken" - cos I'm sharing curry chicken with the school attendants. :D
