When I first thought of doing this project, I was very enthusiastic, hopeful and excited of what would I accomplish from the pupils.
The moment I stepped into the class on my very first teaching, all hopes and enthusiasm just dropped as fast as Newton's Law of gravity.

I had to shout to talk to them, used lots of translations as I felt they didn't respond to some of my instructions.
However, it began to pick up and I was able to hold the grip again.
It is NOT that easy I know but I only hope that I could generate something out of their carefree minds and playful nature.


Just before the Raya festive break, under our chairman (woman) decided to make a flash donation collected from most senior lecturers (since they just received some incentives). Representing all the donors, I manage to distribute "duit raya" ( Raya cash) to all 35 TSP pupils and also goodie bags.

16 Jan 2011~ You would never dream to have a reunion lunch with others and yet it was such fun and endearing. Thank you to my colleague Dr.M for her invitation.

Happy Lunar Year to all..the year of the Rabbit ...may it brings more prosperity and luck to all.

Notes:

The Rabbit is considered the luckiest of the Chinese Zodiac animals. You are affectionate, virtuous and kind. You are sensitive to beauty and aim for peace in your life.
You are most compatible with the Goat and the Pig. Your opposite is the Rooster.

Instead of sending cards or giving oranges, opted for cupcakes finally ordered from Rani. Emailed about the theme, details etc and voila, cute orangey, cherry blossoms, crackers, 3-d mandarin and Tiger stripes.


I guess the traditional of giving oranges, tee-kui or even lapcheong is slowly dying as most younger generation doesn't like or at least appreciate the latter. Though it might seems, that it is all right, it's actually alarmingly dying in the culture wise. I guess one should still try to upkeep the thousand of years tradition by observing with simplicty and not exegeration.

Lecturers, staff & students all came for the feast. Worried of insufficient food turned relief as it turned out enough for the whole soccer field of crowd!!
Hope to have another "Open House" next year! Congrats KEKELIP, JPP & BAKESS 2009/10

for the coming MUET Speaking Test, PSPM and finally your remaining MUET papers.
I would also like to take this opportunity to wish all the Muslim students and Hindu students who would be celebrating DiwaRaya, Happy Diwa Raya 2005!!
Hope you have a happy festive holiday and take good care of yourselves.

ps: I love tat nenas and biskut ros @ semprit...not forgetting ketupat too.*hint hint*
