Teachers' Day
Sunday, August 24, 2008
Of all my years in school as a student, I can still remember clearly my primary school days. I enjoyed school a lot when I was in primary school as my teachers were all very encouraging(though a few were very strict) and kind.
Although there were NO IT gadgets around those days, my teachers could still teach and explain clearly the concepts that we had to learn. They wrote on blackboards using chalks (and I made sure that I would not sit near the board because the dust would cover my green pinafore!), they prepared handwritten worksheets and spent time reading stories to us. A teacher who I can particularly remember was Miss Lau, my Primary 4 teacher. She was a very caring teacher and took time to talk to us during recess, and after school. I remember that she would still be in school to teach us even though she was not feeling well at times. She even gave me a story book for doing very well for my examinations that year. Even after she had left the school, we kept in touch by writing letters (no computers and emails then). Now that I am a teacher myself, I know how difficult it can be to not only teach, but manage students' behaviour. I take it as a challenge and will do my best to teach well and hopefully, inspire my students like my teachers did. Share me your stories about your favourite teachers.... "HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY to all teachers!" (including myself, hee.... :->) P.S. Thank you for all your heartwarming messages in your Teachers' Day ecards. I'm very touched...sob..sob.. :0(

Beijing Olympics 2008
Monday, August 11, 2008
Did you catch the opening of the Beijing Olympics on the 8th Aug? It was really a spectacular show!
The stadium which they called the "Bird's Nest" was really huge to be able to accomodate more than a hundred thousand spectators. The performers were perfect in the way they danced, sang or even moved across the longest stage I've ever seen. I was awed by the moving pictures across the "walls" and the "floor" of the stadium. The highlight of the show was of course the lighting of the Olympic torch. The man who brought the torch in actually "flew" to light up the torch mounted on top of the stadium. It was mentioned that he actually practised every day (in the wee hours of the morning) for the big day. Having watched the different competitions and tournaments the past few days, I think the athletes and competitors have really shown what PASSION & EXCELLENCE means. I'm looking forward to see if Phelps (the favourite swimmer for this year's Olympics) will achieve the 8 golds he has set out to bring home...
