My latest additions to my "toy" collection *clap clap*:
1. Nintendo DS Lite
Actually, ZY bought it 1st.. then after I bought the New Super Mario Bros game... I became hooked to this!! Ended up hogging ZY's DS so much that he suggested maybe I should just get one myself! Haha... well not a bad idea after all! So, I bought another set... and have been playing the Mario game since then! Just checked my receipt.. I bought the game on 24th Sep, and I completed all the worlds on 18th Nov! Must say that I'm so proud of myself 
coz usually I don't have the patience to finish a game. I was so exhilarated when I completed the last stage!! So excited that I couldn't sleep for 1 hour!! haha! Anyway, now that I've completed the game, I'm still playing it... to collect all the other things that I missed out the last time. 2. Sony Ericsson k770i
Just bought this yesterday. Love it!! I had wanted to buy another nokia phone, but ZY convinced me that a sony ericsson's will be better.. since he also uses one. The camera's 3.2megapixel... and it's slim and lightweight!! The best part is... it only costs me $118!! Great deal!
Now, I don't leave house without these 2 gadgets in my bag.
It's been a long time since I post anything here, or blog about Ch. Hopefully, now that my school hols have officially started, I can have more time to blog. Been missing this leisure activity actually.
ZY and I noticed that over these few weeks, Ch seem to have blossomed into a more mature little girl. My friend, Cuiwei, commented that she seems like a 12-year old gal trapped in a 2-year old body! haha! I feel that too! Though some of the things she said/do amuse us, it also scares me.. coz I wonder how much is actually stored in her brain!Here are a few examples:
1. A couple of weeks ago, out of the blue, she asked me "妈妈，你还没有生baby给我hor?" Amused, I smiled and replied "ya...". Then her classic reply "很久了leh!" *faint!*
(for those who don't understand/can't see the chinese words, she said that I haven't given her a sibling. Then she continued by saying that it's already so long!)
2. Usually when she mispronounces a word, I'll ask her to look at my mouth while I repeat it. So the following episode happened last Sat at Delifrance. My colleague, EW, his wife and bb, were with us too.
During our conversation, Ch interrupted us and said to my colleague "Look at my mouth... say... va...gi... na." We were stunned for a while, then all of us burst out laughing!
3. She asks A LOT of 'why' questions nowadays... like "mommy, why did you tie your hair?"... "why wear sandals"... "why need the car?" (when we bring her out).. etc. AND she TALKS A LOT! Even without an audience! haha! There was one weekend morn when both ZY and I were so tired coz we watch TV until quite late into the night. As usual, Ch woke up earlier than us, and she came over to our room. She started talking and talking and talking.. basically the whole 1 hour was just her talking and we trying to sleep. In the end, ZY told her that her talking actually gave him a headache!!! Wow!
Yup... this is Ch...

Saw this video during a meeting for the Lower Sec Sci coordinators. Very interesting as it challenges me as a teacher. It also serves as a timely reminder for my purpose in entering this profession.
What can/do I teach my students to cope with the real world?
What can/do I teach my students to cope with the real world?
I guess when students get desperate during exams, any answer that comes to their mind is THE correct answer.
Look at how creative this Sec 4 student was during his Physics Prelim exam!
The question was:
Design an experiment to determine whether sound can travel in vacuum.
