Singing happily....


Pretty cheryl who is our admin staff.

So what can you see from these photos? Karaoke? Correct!

Fun and Craze? Correct!

With unknown people?? They are my colleagues. They are real sporty and everyone start swaying and dancing when they sing. Very cute indeed! No wonder we are all childcare teachers! And we spotted one "trademark" too. Our voice became more hoarse and rough after being a teacher. Years ago, i can hit a high pitch easily. Now, it takes me more effort to do so!! Sob Sob!!

I will be meeting my Rainbow Camp child tommorrow. I will need to fetch her to Kovan from Tiong Bahru mrt station. Let's hope we can communicate well!! :)

Art Theraphy Rocks!

Art Theraphy is a rare course, not many people understands about this course. Art Theraphy is not popular in Singapore. I must really thanks jane for getting me expose to this course. Registered for diagnostic art theraphy and i am loving it! Just went to my second lesson and the information i am hearing are keeping me at the edge of my seat! It is so interesting and is definitely my cup of tea! Although the lecturer keep saying a lot of terms which i don't know but i still note down everything he say in details. There are so many things to learn, so many books to read, so many details to remember and so many MUST-KNOW authors to memorise!

Art Theraphy is mainly to analysis a person's mind through what he/she draws. It is extremely useful for kids who have difficulty expressing themselves. For adults, it is mainly for people who have emotional problems. For example, cancer patients, ill patients, mentally ill people or criminals. On my next lesson, the lecturer wants us to bring drawings of a house, a tree and a person drawn by person of aged 8 onwards and we will be taught on how to analysis it! Woo Hoo, i am going to call my friends to draw so that i can practise my work! :)

I do have some thoughts whether to be an art therapist in any form in future. These 10 lessons that i am going to have will help me to determine my interest more.If i am heading towards this path,i will be facing all kind of people who are having emotional problems. If i am handling with children, they will be unhappy children. I want to do a job that enables me to help those in need but i need to find out if i have the ability to balance my emotions. By going through this course and doing my volunteery work in Rainbow camp will expose me more to all these factors.

By the way, i have visited one of my Rainbow Camp child and she is a pretty primary 6 girl. She is suffering from some form of osteoporosis so i will need to be very careful with her. The only thing about this pretty girl is that she is very very very shy and quiet. I will need to be GI LA GI LA and very talkative to cheer her up!!! Ha Ha HA! And i do hope she will be involved with most of the camp activities.

Wow, i am sure excited about my path ahead! To think back, i make a breakthrough by becoming a childcare teacher and give up IT industry. After my experience, i realised i really love to work with children. And now, it is time for me to progress. Either i will be a teacher still or do some other relevant jobs. I never regret studying my Dip in MMI as is very interesting and get me exposed to so many different lines! Meeting the people in therapist line and getting involved in all these sure make my life more meaningful!I believe i will learn a lot more in future. Wish me all the best ya!! :)

New Plans with a New Me

I must say a big THANK YOU to Brighton Montessori. I learnt a lot from Brighton. I learnt how to manage my students, how to liaise with the parents, how to be an octopus and multitask, how to speak proper english. I also love my students as they let me smile and laugh from the bottom of my heart, amazed me with their talents and amused me with their innocence and speech.

I like my colleagues too as a few of our own lingos are created. In Brighton, we cannot say negative words so we spell them out. Words like BLUR, NAU(stands for Naughty), STUBBORN, SPOILT, SOTONG, LIAN, BENG. Funny Funny words you can think of! And guess what, BLUR, SOTONG and LIAN are always used on me!! Hee Hee! And we called some of our seniors OP! Nope, not because they are very trendy and love to wear ocean pacific shirts! Is that they are Old People! Hee! Bits and pieces of these memory stays in my heart.

My students will not go "Teacher Carole, i want paper!"
"Teacher Carole, i want to do cutting!"
"Teacher Carole, he don't love me!"
"Teacher Carole, i want to go shhh shhh"

I will moved on to a part time job in a learning centre in Bishan. It is also a montessori place and i will continue to teach my montessori way. I will not be working on Sunday and Monday. I will still be learning more about my phonics and i will be taking in phonics for tuition.

And oh yes, i will be taking Art Theraphy Cert starting coming Thursday onwards and it will last for 10 weeks. Till then, i have enough time to think if i'm up to go the art therapist line or further on my degree in early childhood. Lots of changes and planning and so far, everything going well.

And i am being selected to the rainbow camp! My leader just called me and told me that i am being assigned to 2 primary 6 girls who live in Bukit Merah. As my co-leader is out to USA for job post, we, the team mates must do more. I got to think of a group name related to muscial. Any suggestions to help me save my brain cells???? ;)

It's May! Is time for May to become Mrs Yang!

Finally, vows are exchanged and their love are being witnessed by all their friends and relatives. Not to forget the poly friends who watched how their love grew throughout the years. We walked part of the journey together and on 1st of May, is time for them to walk out and shine in front of the rest as they exchanged their rings and Kissed to swear to love,to care and to be bond for life.....MUACKS!


This cake is done by Jasmine. So sweet and nice of her!


Let's applauded to the lovely couple....May and Meyer! Look at how pretty the bride is!

Yes! Is us! :)



MAY AND MEYER!!! FRIENDS FOREVER!! WE LOVE YOU!!! :)

My Eventful Saturday

It is almost good to spend a meaningful weekend as i have a real good one. In the afternoon, went to Sungei Boloh for Rainbow Camp befriender selection event. Unluckily, it was raining all day and the children are unable to walk in the greens. We are all trapped in the shelter and our mission is to know the children and answer some quiz together with them. The children are accompanied to this outing with their siblings and parents.So the children we get to befriend with may just be a healthy child instead. I am being assigned to group 1 and my group members are very jolly and active and take initiative to communicate with the children. There are 5 children assigned to my group. Faith (P4),Lijuan (P1),Lifen (P3),Wenhan (P1) and a P1 malay boy(i forget your name, sorry boy! Let's call him AZ then!)First, we went into the theatre to see the show and during the waiting time, each group are called to sit in a circle to know each other better. We starting folding paper using the quiz and the boys started to fly their paper aeroplanes.AZ start to misbehave and he snatch Wenhan's piece of paper when Wenhan is folding his paper. I corrected him on the spot and call him to return it back. He throw it back to Wenhan. I took back from Wenhan and ask AZ to pass it to Wenhan properly and say "Sorry". After several attempts, AZ still throw it to Wenhan. WOW....he is real hard to discipline and very spoilt!!!

We wanted to play a game and Wenhan is still playing with his paper aeroplane so i try to take it away from him and asked him to sit properly. He go "ErrrrrErrrr" and tried to snatch back his aeroplane from me. I told him 'You dun Err Err Err heh" and he hit me on my hand and run away! Duh~ After the show, we walk together to collect our food and AZ started to run away. I chased after him as i am afraid that he will fall or run in the rain. I tried to grab him but he keep struggling and run further. There are onlookers looking but they did not offer their help. There is even one rainbow camp guy who snap photos at us when i am trying to distract AZ's attention by asking him to look at the animal's display and even call us to look at the camera!! I was thinking "God! I am trying to catch him back to our meeting place and you are still busy snapping pics!" Ha Ha Ha! After a while, my teamleader came and help me. He ask AZ to chase after him and both of them went running away. But he is sure a handful to handle as throughout the whole trip, he kept running and hiding from me as if i am playing with me. We are still not confirmed to be selected and it can only be by end of April. There will be a whole day training camp on 22 Apr and this time, only ADULTS.


Catch AZ on my camera when he is in action!


Finally caught him staying STATIONARY when he is looking at the display.


My group members with the young girls. ;)

After the sweaty event, i went to meet May, Meyer, Jasmine, Ian, Shuyun, Phyllis and Yenping for super yummylicious crabs. Please! The butter crab taste is still lingering on my taste buds. It is superb and wonderful! Yum Yum! After that, we went to Serangoon Garden and sat down on Coffee Club to enjoy our small talks and tasty drinks. It is sure real nice to meet up with the girls, especially with my blessed going-to-be-wed-couple. I feel so happy to see them so loving together. I will sure be praying for them everyday to stay in love. :)


Me and Shuyun.


The girls read to feast on our crabs and Ms Jasmine is still not here. :P

Thursday Night at Sentosa

Ever been to Cafe Del Mar (dunno if i get the right spelling), but it is sure a fanstatic and cosy place to rot! Firstly, Fiona, Huiling and Leonard meet up at Vivovity to have our dinner. Soon, Hongwei join us and it has been a year plus since i last saw him! He is still the same but he is quite shocked at how i look now.He complimented that i look prettier and hyperactive!!! Ha Ha!!! Contact lens sure do miracles, don't it? *Wink* Off we went into Sentosa to visit Huiling's friend, Jackie, at Coasta Sands chalet for her birthday party.


All of us at Jackie's birthday party.

Hongwei start to be our photographer as me and huiling went around posing photos! He is a patient photographer. He has very steady hands although some of the pictures came out blur using my camera's night mode.

After the chalet, we proceed to Cafe Del Mar and went home at around 1 am plus. Tommoorrow i will be going Klunch with Mummy Jessie, after that i will still need to buy art and craft materials for school. On Saturday, i will be off to Sungei Boloh to do my volunteery camp training and joining Ah May for crab feast! Woo...What a busy weekend. ;)

Photo Blog again! ;)

Today is sure a warm weather!!! Went to sentosa for picnic with Fiona, Peiling, Julian, Leonard and Addy. The guys were busy playing with volleyball and swimming while the girls are busy rotting around. But i think the weather is too warm and it is making me sweat like nobody business so i did not enjoy it much.


Me and Fiona posing with our favorite titbits, LAYS! Look at us! Both covered with shades but still, my nose is "burnt". Sad! :(


Sitting on the high hammock that Leonard and Julian tie. ALthou it is a bit high,but it is sure fun and windy to lay on it.


The gang resting before the day start.


I am on the hammock with a glimpse of the our friends playing with their volleyball.


After some rest on the hammock, time for photoshoot! See how i look with my messy hair and rolled up pants!!!


Who wants to join me under the warm sun? HAHHAHAHAHHA!!!

After that, i rushed back home from Sentosa to get a fresh bath and rush to Jessie's house for a mahjong session! It is real cosy and nice to just sit down and have a fun game after a tiring day of "Sun Tanning!" I reached Jessie's house at 8 pm plus and it is quite late.
