UPDATES 9FEB-25 FEB
1) Since the last entry was on the Science Symposium Competition, I am proud to announce that we have clinched the 'Most Creative Award'. Surely and definitely, the journey through preparing for this competition was pretty hectic, but I enjoyed it. The kids were fun to work with, although they can be really playful sometimes, ok most of the time, and of course a big thank you to all the helpful colleagues. Nevermind that we did not emerge the top 3 schools. The deserving schools claimed the prize. They were definitely better in terms of relaying the contents of their science concepts.
2) I decided to have a PARTNER exactly 2 weeks ago. Yet to meet but I am already feeling the jitters . Another of those life-changing decision and hopefully a right one. We have promised to be there for each other. He's going to be my companion, my comfort. Please down let me down. I just need you to be there for me, to always be strong for me.
I can't wait to see you, to touch and take care of you with all my heart.
3) Went to desaru during the CNY holiday with the extended maternal family. Some 40 odd people squeezed into two rooms! Haha can you imagine that?! No lah not that we are so cheapskate as to save on the cost of the rooms. Firstly, we were told that it was a villa. So we had this great idea that it was going to be big and spacious. So well just 2 would be enough. Kongsi2 kan lagi best. Macam lagi meriah. Secondly, some were not confirmed coming, so we did not want to waste booking more rooms than necessary. But in the end, we came in a convoy of 7 cars! Despite the space constraint, we managed to arrange ourselves neatly to sleep. Daytime was not so much of a problem, cause we were mostly out in the swimming pool, playing outdoor games and 'lepak'ing outside. It was still a nice break despite the fact that I had to drag two big bags of books and worksheets to mark.
*Really, I don't wish to be such a workaholic, but I have to complete those markings in order to return my pupils the books for them to revise for CA1. And also because of the Science Symposium competition, I had to abandon much of my markings. So please understand my position.*
4) And since back from Desaru last Tuesday, I have been under the weather. Extended the long break till Wednesday cause I was down with fever. Got 2 days MC but could only afford to take a day off. And till now, I am still now well. I basically had to resort to 'silent' teaching on Friday because I was voiceless. Using the portable mike still did not help because the little voice that remained was so coarse. I am still sounding like Papa Rock now. I think the sexy voice is here to stay for quite sometime.
Hhmm seems like work is never missed out from almost all my entries. Perhaps next time, I'll talk more about my partner.
And I'm all excited for Az!! Baby's coming out soon and I can't wait to see little Ryan. He's surely gona be a handsome and charming dude. Well you've just gota blame that on the parents haha.

CHAMPX ON THE ROLL NOW
Let me share with you what we have submitted for the Science Symposium competition.
We got through the finals with this videoclip and a 500-word write up.
Now comes the real thing. A live performance by the boys on next Wednesday. I'll have to think of better and more innovative costumes to impress the judges. So any ideas people?
Anyway here's presenting ChampX......
FRONTIERS IN SCIENCE
Presumptions, inductions, deductions
The hard-wired aspects of how we process information
Our eyes with lenses and electronic detectors
Our brains with mathematics and computers
Taking the familiar to explain the strange
Knowledge has much mystery, still it remains unchanged
Only treats data that’s empirical and replicable
What about history- unique and unrepeatable?
How small can you slice your observations?
Between certain and uncertain
When conscience knocks hard giving views which are different
Taking the familiar to explain the strange
Knowledge has much mystery still it remains unchanged
Technology seems so advanced yet still not perfect to us
Disruptions can happen any day any time from dusk to dusk
Who can control Nature cos they play a part
Like the Internet being cut off by the Taiwan flood
Taking the familiar to explain the strange
Knowledge has much mystery, it remains unchanged
Science by no means the only means to gain objective truth
With time the boundaries of Science continues to move
Some things we don’t know, some we’ll know better soon
Like how Neil Armstrong went up to the moon
With the gravitational pull, impossible’s a fool
Unbelievable? Just put us to the test.
Are you all ready?
Science will never rest!
Eerr the videoclip gota put on hold. Seems like youtube refuses to download it :(

GONE LONG ENOUGH
I've been gone long enough from blogger.com. I haven't even been reading my friends' entries nor go bloghopping.....Am I just acting busy? Or prefers to keep myself busy or REALLY really that busy?? Well I think I am busy and at the same time, just not putting in the effort to spare time for other things. Sad huh?No I'm not career-minded. I'm not doing more than what's necessary. I'm just doing what's expected of me, and somehow it has lead me to be like this. Well perhaps I'm not as efficient as the others and so I ended up taking a longer time to complete my tasks.And it got me wondering, with this little time that I have to myself, can I afford to juggle any other commitments and responsibilities? That's another fear. I fear the commitment. I fear giving you my word and not keeping it. And I'm more afraid to jump into it when your presence did not stir that special emotion in me. Well I definitely know how much I can feel for someone. But when I feel so numb to all your hopes and dreams, I just keep on questioning myself whether I am just deluding myself and giving you false hopes. I'm so sorry if I keep giving you the mixed signals. I tried giving you a chance, or more selfishly, I wanted to give myself another chance, but somehow that part of me still remains 'dead' and the feelings in me just kept returning to level zero. As much as I have my hopes and dreams of the future, I'm not sure myself whether I can uplift it. Suddenly, I just miss the past.I miss being the innocent and carefree little girl.I miss my girlfriends.I miss the happier times.
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
PS: Remember the Science Symposium competition that I mentioned to you about? The one that I was working hard on? Alhamdulillah, today we got the news that we were one of the schools in the finals! HURRAH! The finals will be next Wednesday, 14 Feb. So the next few days will be back being hectic working on this competition. I shall give it my best last bit.
Will insert the video clip of our rap which we have submitted soon.
