'I shall ask for brains instead of a heart; for a fool would not know what to do with a heart if he had one.' - The Wizard of Oz


I shall take the heart. For brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world." — The Wizard of Oz


"You have plenty of courage, I am sure," answered Oz.

"All you need is confidence in yourself. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty."

— The Wonderful Wizard of Oz


Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine

I survived! I didn't make the children cry........ I didn't make the children pee in their panties. Will blog about my experience soon!

Comments in 2018 : The first time I volunteered in che-che's school for Teachers Day. In total, throughout both girls' time in primary school, I volunteered a total of 7 times. This year, TD was yesterday - 30th Aug and I didn't make my appearance for the second year running. 

This was my cutie pie che-che who would smile beautifully for me. Now? I can't even steal a snapshot of her!

Appreciating all the hard work by the teachers world around.

It's celebrated on 1st September in Singapore.

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY!

幸せな教師の日

* added some photos to TD 2009 album. These are selected few pics taken out *


(a) Card for her FT. Made some time back in June
(b) Card for her Chinese teacher. Made some time back in June. And we didn't have time to make more after that for the rests of her teachers. Mummy is exhausted!
(c) Pom pom crafts for the teachers - mainly Athena's teachers in school, from Berries, Yamaha. Aricia's teachers only includes a few in school (can't do for all - too exhausted + got my fingers burnt with the hot glue. OUCH!!), her 2 教師 in Shichida.
(d) The dragonfly for Athena's Chinese teacher, Chick for Yamaha teacher. The only 2 that stands out from the rests. After that I got so exhausted and asked Athena to simply help cut the black chennille sticks and paste the 2 pom poms together to do ladybirds - the simplest!
(e) Gifts for Athena's teachers in school which consists of Lindt chocolate, pom pom craft + card. No time to bake cookies this year. Give myself some breathing space.
(f) I ran out of the "eyes" for the ladybirds for Athena's teachers in LCCC, so decided not to do anymore crafts. 
Instead opted for the easy way out - buy. 
Cards were made and it's the quickest method. Colour; paste and write. Heehee! 
Gifts varies between the koala magnets, A+ magnets and a memo clip
Even the bags had to be purchased, I ran out of my white bags and didn't want to travel all the way to Bencoolen to buy. 
Hmm.........I've just realised, I'm getting lazier each year


31st Aug - Athena standing outside her class in school.

She's really excited that her mummy is in school.



教師 ML in Springleaf Shichida is not forgotten (by the mummy) - apparently Aricia seem to have forgotten her.... We made a trip down on Friday to pass her the small gift.
Teacher A - from MMI

Eclairs that I made for MMI teachers 


Comments in 2018 : The gifts to their teachers are getting lesser and lesser each year. We've stopped giving che-che's LCCC teachers for a very long time. The only teacher that has been receiving gifts all these years is Teacher Peggy. Maybe next year I don't have to prepare any more gifts? 
I miss baking eclairs. I shall do this next year.

Comments in 2024 : I had to re-post this blog entry. It was initially posted in 2018, therefore I had those comments on the future years. 6 years later from 2018, the gifts I left her to choose who to gift. We used to count the tutors too but ehh… no need now. She couldn’t go back to the Primary and Secondary school as she had to be back in office for her presentation. She sent her greetings to her favourite teachers via WhatsApp tho! As for her ITE teachers, she chose to gift only who she likes. Aiyah! I give up doing all these, I’m so tired. 老了! Tho I still like to do crafts, I always don’t have enough time to do my stuffs let alone starting to prep TD gifts. So what am I going to do with the cellophane bags? What am I going to do with the laminator in 3 years time? 6 years later and I haven’t baked the eclairs 🤣.
