Hi and I'm think I'm late again.
Just want to drop a line to wish all of you who are and will be taking your EOY exams all the best!
Your school holidays will commence by the end of this month, yes?
Work hard, endure and soon it'll be over!

Postpone again ...
How's everybody? Did anything cool in the hols?
I guess by now it's obvious that we'll have to postpone the gathering again. For the last few weeks, I've busy either with remedial and supplementary classess and doing my bit to get the school ready to receive the pupils back from the hols given the backdrop of the Influenza A (H1N1-2009) situation in Singapore.
I guess it's also not advisable for us to gather given that we're trying to minimize any 'unnecessary' contact though I'm not saying 'catch-up' sessions are pretty 'extra' ... it's just that this Infuenza situation is making things a little inconvenient to us and it's better we play safe.
For now, I hope all of you will continue to look after yourselves, observe good hygiene and exercise social responsibility by declaring to your school that recently you've travelled to affected areas and see a doctor should you feel unwell.
We can still meet but I guess I still hope someone among us will take the lead and organise something simple after the situation has somewhat settled.
Till we meet again.

The Climb ...
Hi again.
Everyday we have many encounters; they leave some of us feeling pretty pleased, a number of us feeling disappointed while the rest of us experience mixed feelings ...
Just wanna remind all of us that journey which we embark is a long, winding one. Some times things will go our way but many a times, as we've found out by now that there are many events and incidents (other than tests and exams) which turned out in ways we didn't expect ...
So here's a song which I recently came across ... I love it and find the lyrics particularly meangingful and hope it'll spur you to continue to persevere and continue with 'the climbs' of your life.
Miley Cyrus - The Climb
I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
The pain I’m knowing
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Sorry I'm back ...
Hi, sorry about the radio silence ... it's been non-stop work since my trip to South Korea. It was a very eventful one; will share when I got the chance (and if you're interested to hear it).
I assume you're in the midst of your first examinations? All the best people and continue to do your best, even though it may 'appear' to be not so high-stake as the PSLE which ended not long ago.
Do your best and please continue to take them seriously as they are important building blocks to your dreams and ambitions. Really, some of us were wilful and still are ... remember, education is important and do your best as go as far as possible as this is probably the best time to do so as your distractions may be potentially lesser as compared to when you get older ...
I'm sure everyone is aware of the Influenza A aka H1N1. Do practise good personal hygiene habits and exercise social responsibility; should you be ill, report sick and return only to school when you get better.
As for the long-delayed meet-up, I'm thinking of some time in mid-June when hopefully I'll be freer ... anyway suggestions? Better still, any volunteers to lead on this? I think you guys (and gals) are old enough and ready to take more responsibilities ... I personally prefer a simple gathering which doesn't cost too much so that as many can participate.
So how? Let's hear it from you!
At the meantime, all the best to your exams and stay healthy!

March holidays!
Hi again ... aren't you glad the vacation is finally here?
Anyway, as I write this, I'm minutes away from leaving home and heading to T3. Yeah ... going to South Korea with the school (and kids) and will only be back on next Sunday which literally sums up my entire holiday ...
Anyway, I'm optimistic that though I may be away for work, I'm still hopeful that I'll find pockets of time to rest and relax.
As for you guys, I wanna encourage you guys to work and especially play hard ... it's holiday what. But really, don't wait until next Sunday before you start work on your assignments, it's not going to work ... distribute your time wisely.
Okay I got to go ... take care and I hope to meet up with you all soon!
Cheerio!

An update - plus next gathering
Hi people.
I hope all of you are coping well, if not, hang in there! Talk to your friends, teachers and parents, they may be able to help you.
I understand some of you have been asking about the next gathering and sad to say I've been very busy and come March vacation, I'll be away to South Korea with the kids so basically I won't have a real break as I'll be leaving on the first day of the school hols, i.e. 14 March and returning on 21 March (last day of school hols) ...
I guess should there be a gathering, it'll happen the earliest at the end of March or April. I seek your understanding.
By the way, this bit of information will only make sense to some; the groups which are going to Korea are named in terms of colour and I got 'green' again. This sure brings back some good memories I had in China when I took a group there in 2007. I hope this will be a good one too.
Till next time!
