Spiritual Flower

"Your Spirit Flower is the Daisy"

You value close relationships with friends. You count on your friends as much as they count on you. You are completely unpretentious and carefree. All you care about is whether someone is a good person. You are a natural counselor. You listen well and give out good advice when needed. You love all of life's simple pleasures. You find a lot of joy in a walk outdoors or a day at the park.

What's Your Spirit Flower?

Support Needed

When I arrived at school today for counselling, I saw many pairs of shoes outside a particular room. I was very tickled over what I saw but I didn't dare laugh as it was a serious matter for the students. 
That particular room is the prayer room. 
Examinations start tomorrow. 
Whatever helps the students to feel less anxious for the examinations is good with me too, be it emotional support from counselling or spiritual support from praying. 

Happy May Day 2018

Happy May Day 2018!

I shall try to catch up with my blogging. :D

Stress & Rest

I was really stressed in the day plus the library somehow brought on my allergic reaction, my nose started getting stuffy. Going to get some rest tomorrow.

Happy 77th Birthday!

Here's wishing my father a Happy 77th Birthday!

May you always enjoy good health and good fortune!

Midnight Mint Mocha

I couldn't resist any drink that has mint in it. Tried out the latest Starbucks drink, Midnight Mint Mocha. It was very chocolatey and minty! I could hardly taste the coffee in it so that is good since I am not a fan of coffee. :P

Preparation

This is going to be one of the high stakes presentation for me. My team and I have been preparing the presentation for a month now. It is now the final cut. 

Unwell

Woke up with a sore throat. Really worried as I have a high stakes presentation next week. No choice, better rest. 

Avengers: Infinity War

This is one movie that I must not miss on the big screen! I will find the time! 

The Funny Reality

There is a reason why I love working with students. This simple drawing by one of my counsellees is why! It is the reality but I couldn't stop laughing. 

Back to Back

I had back to back meetings today. 
First meeting on campus (1030-1230pm) and then running off to a school meeting in Toa Payoh area (2-3pm) and then back to campus for another meeting (4-6pm). Really exhausted by the end of the day. 

Comfort Food

I had a much needed break with this sumptuous asparagus rice with cream sauce (vegetarian). Sometimes, all that one needs for a break is just comfort food. :)

Souvenirs from NYC

Some colleagues came back AERA 2018 Conference in New York City nd got me these sweet souvenirs!

84th Singapore Company Girls' Brigade 8th Enrolment Service @SCGS

I attended Juliane's 84th Singapore Company Girls' Brigade 8th Enrolment Service @SCGS. I feel really proud to see how she has grown over the past year. I also managed to catch up with my ex-student who is now Juliane's Biology and Girls' Brigade teacher!

Mid-Week Respite

A much needed mid-week respite - Mango Bingsu! 

饮水思源

I saw this in a school I visited today, 饮水思源. 
It has a lot of meaning for me personally because my mother always taught my brother and I since young that we must always 饮水思源 which literally means when we drink, we must think of its source. In plain words, it means that we must be grateful for our blessings, never take things for granted and never forget one's origins. 

Apologies for the Silence

I have been very busy at work since my work portfolio has expanded and have not been updating my blog regularly. :( Sincere apologies. 
I must find time and get back to my blogging as it is a form of me time for me. I need to take better care of myself!
