First experience in a Private School

Like what i've mentioned before, I worked in a private school for 2 months (supposedly 3 months but I needed to complete my final stage of thesis writing and presentation).

Actually, I went for an interview for a secondary school teacher post (had to do mock teaching in front of the principal and a ketua bidang *gulp*) and I kinda did it badly.

I thought i did not get the job coz they took quite late to reply, but few days later, the HR team called me and asked if I want to worked in the primary school instead coz they needed teacher immediately. I said YES! 

Went to school the next day to meet the principal and discussed about what I need to do and etc. Started work one week later.

...fast forward..

End of April was my last day of work.

Well, first 2 weeks in school was a bit crazy huhu coz getting used to many things, I had to teach English for 2 Primary 5 classes and Music to Primary 1 to 6 students. It was quite challenging because I had to teach them recorder (learnt it during my primary school days but don't really remember). Every week I had to think of new songs and how to make the class fun.huhu

Finally, it came to an end, and oh well, it was not so bad after all.

It was Sports Day which was also my last day. Early in the morning when I came to school, the kids flocked me with gifts and they hugged me and begged me not to go.huhu (kids, when you're older, you will know why I have to leave).

~thank you for all the love and messages (idk how to rotate the picture)

Working in a private school isn't that bad after all. One thing I liked is the class size was between 20-25 students unlike public schools, and no paper work in the school.wohoo

But oh well, there's pros and cons working in both sectors. 

Anyways, I had a great experience teaching them, and I think I would wanna teach primary school in future instead of secondary school.huhu

Teacher loves all of you =D

CG Kayak

We had combined CG outing (Kayak) at our own Tasik Varsiti on one of the Saturday mornings.

It was my first time trying out kayak and it was fun!

 ~posing for a picture~

 ~coz we love water huh?~

 ~Alquin and me in one kayak~

 ~the combined CG's~

~us who came~

It was quite tiring especially for my arms LOL, coz you have to know how which direction to kayak.

Would love to try again another time!

Bello!

Bello! It's been err ages since I last posted. hehe

And wow! It's been half a year!! Time flies weyh.

Few things happened for the past few months.

Worked in a private school for 2 months (supposedly 3 months), went for a 7km run, had final year party (finally, my turn to grad!)

Gonna blog what happened for the past few months~

And my blog will be flooded with pictures.LOL

Signed myself up with a few of the PKV peeps for a 7km run. Everytime after signing up for it, sure regret, like what am I getting myself into again. HAHA

 ~me halfway thru~

~PKV-ians~

~posing with our medal~

It'll be my last run in UM, before I grad. Would love to participate in other runs outside of UM, coz UM is so hilly, very tiring lor.huhu.

Anyways, we made it to the finishing line!

 ~supper at Dal Komm~

Tried their bingsu in Dal Komm,not bad but quite expensive, so we shared.

This place is famous in Korea (where DOTS was being filmed)

Had a great time of catching up with one another =)

Havoc-ness

Few things had happened for the past 2 months.

We had CNY celebration with PKV Chinese Ministry. We did steamboat this year. 

Helped them to cut and wash the steamboat food in my house before bringing it to church that night haha, i've never cut sooo many food before.LOL

~CNY Celeb with PKVCM~

Then, we sent Vivian off to KLIA 2 as she was going Aussie for 9 months for her twinning programme. We arrived early and had our dinner there. 

Gonna miss you for 9 months! Take care there and enjoy Aussie!!

 ~we-fie with Vian~

We also had our housemates outing and celebrated Yvonne's bday at Lat Tali Lat cafe. Played some pirate games and we had to do the dare game as punishment. 

~our fake laugh~

Had our 2nd housemate outing at Strangers at 47 before Lavi moved out to her new campus in Saujana Putra. 

~all of us~ 

My RA contract ended in January, and I was looking for a part time job. Went for an interview at Sri UCSI Secondary school as they were looking for a temporary teacher.

Kinda screwed up my mock teaching, so I thought that I won't get the job anymore, but one day, the primary school called me if I can come in immediately, so I agreed to it.

And here I am now in Sri UCSI Primary School teaching English to Year 5 kids and Music to Year 1 to 6 kids. New experience in a private school. My first week there was kinda crazy, coz I had no idea what I had to do, everything was kinda messed up LOL. I was kinda stressed marking so many books left by the previous teachers.

It's my second week now, things are kinda getting better, but I thanked God for providing someone who looked after me in school. I need not pay for food, but we had the leftovers from the canteen, and some of the teachers were concerned about my safety, so they sent me to the nearest LRT station after school instead of me taking Grabcar. 

Was reflecting back on many things, and I and grateful to God that he is always there taking care of me no matter where I am. I know I had complained so much the past few weeks, but He never fails you =) 

CNY 2017

As usual, went back to hometown and Malacca during CNY. Met up with cousins and this time round, went for loads of shopping LOLZ. Bought myself few blouses and pants, as I'm gonna work in schools soon, so yea, you need a more formal clothes.

~Dinner during Chor 1 at SKT Muar~

 ~We-fie~

All of us have grown, as some of us have not seen each other for a year or so huhu.

 ~playing Saboteur~

This game was really fun! haha

We had a great time playing Saboteur together.

I'm gonna get one Saboteur for myself too. huhu

Came back to PJ after 2 weeks of being in hometown =( 

Can't wait to finish my thesis, to get a proper job and bring my parents for a holiday.haih

Anyways, we went Bai Nian to Kim's house.

 ~us at Kim's house in Shah Alam~

Then we went for dinner around Bukit Raja and after that to I-City. It was my 3rd time there and there were so many new things, WOW!

~we sat the Ferris Wheel~

So many people were at that place. We decide to try the Ferris Wheel ride for fun and then we walked around and took pictures. 

Left the place around 9 and we headed back to PJ.

Day Trip to Tampin

Before going back to my hometown, I went down to Tampin for a 2days 1-night trip.

Thanks to Li Wen for opening her house to me =)

I enjoyed myself there, exploring new places, away from the busy city and experiencing the peace and tranquility.

Before going to her house, we went to A Famosa Free Port shopping area, you can get branded stuff for a cheap price. Bought myself 3 pairs of t-shirts.ngehehe

 ~taking pictures around Tampin area~

She is a really great photographer, if I get married in future, I would hire her as my photographer =D

Am so blessed to have her as a great sister in Christ, may God continue to bless her and her family.
Tampin, a recommended place to visit ^_^

Family Planning Retreat 2017

It was my first time joining Family Planning Retreat (FPR) organized by Chinese Ministry (CM). I've always been so grateful for the people in CM for helping me out with translation, coz you know lah my Mandarin is very bad.huhu

Wanna thank God for the awesome and wonderful time spent during the 4 days 3 nights of retreat. Had a good time away from the city and busyness of life. Thank God for wonderful people who made me feel warm. It was also my first time playing Mandarin songs! =D

The theme for this year's retreat was Love, do you still remember me? I've gained a lot throughout the 4 days of retreat, learning to listen to His voice, learning to rely on Him in whatever that we do. It may not be easy as there are many challenges around us, but He is always there with us. 

 ~back to my favourite place, GSBA~

~the beach!~ 

~waves~

So good to wake up early every morning and just sit by the beach, listening to the waves come rollin' 

~sunset~

~games session~

~morning Exercise~

Super epic morning exercise.LOL 

~random drawings~ 

~be like Jesus~

A session of praying for one another and washing their feet like how Jesus did.  

 ~same colour shirt~

~we are ONE family in CHRIST~

I really, really, really enjoyed myself there, all the bonding and new friendships built. From the exercise session to games session to learning His Word and everything else =D

All glory given to God for everything!
