February 28 fd for thoughtTopic: PERFECTIONIST v EXCELLENCE
Perfectionist(n.) :
Perfectionism(adj.):
A propensity for being displeased with anything that is not perfect or does not meet extremely high standards.
Excellence(n.) :
What am I? Perfectionist or excellence? I need to know that it is good to have high standards but yet by doing so, you impose others to perform up to your high expectations and if results do not occur, you feel disappointed and angry and that's when it goes so wrong. Edwin, learn to be a person of excellence den perfection ya? No men is perfect except Jesus. Yes, its good to be Christ-like but its not good to be holier than Him. I need to learn how to be happy, to do my very best and improve again or learn from my mistakes. Be a good team player. Realise that everyone grows differently and has different background. Be slow to react, slow to wrath. You took some time to grow too remember? In all things, give Him the Glory. that's all for tonight's fd for thought February 26 i love today!Gd mrng!!! I woke up with a bright smile on my face..
Why? Cuz i started the day with work!!! Yeah...
Where? nah.. not jurongville.. somewhere new!!!
I've got a new "client"..
SHUQUN PRIMARY SCHOOL!!!
Yeah.. Mr Ong's gg to SQPS to impact the students.
It has really been my dream to travel ard spore(at least in the west first)
to encourage the future leaders of the country with postive affirmations and
topics like: Mutual respect, being positive in life, not bowing down to "bad labels",
i have a dream, living a life of excellence... etc...
Love it man! though its VERY tiring to talk and talk as a speaker, but i really believe that
this is my mandate.
Haha.. lots of Psixers today.. Different class, different methods.
Some reactive, some notti, some bo chap but i manage to influence them
Got a new fan base from students of 6C2. Such fun-loving pple. But we got scolded by
those teachers next door for being noisy =( but i still love them!
haha... they asked for my e-mails la.. jialat.. lol..
i like 6A3 too.. i joked n joked.. all by lame things start to vomit out again. I enthus them
and show to them that education can be fun and exciting.
And i've got 2 letters from 6A1! not the best class but these students wrote to me to thank
me for inspiring them.
From Shafiatul(6A1):
"I think you know my feeling(i dunno.. for what?) but my class was naughty and disobedian(disobediant u mean?)
and give teacher scold. I know you are a relive (i dun resurrect frm the dead! its relief la!) teacher and you a good
teacher, best teacher and kind teacher.
Thank you for
your information (huh?)"
kinda cute rite? think she got a crush.. so young...
and one more...
From Ming Tun(not sure too, bad hand-writing)[6A1]:
"Teacher, today I have learnt that life is important. So I will definely(definitely u mean?) pass my psle.
you have said well so I will be a good person."
Haha..Thank God for wisdom and favour. Really enjoying myself in this "mktplace" of students.
Looking forward to touch their lives more.
What made me do all tis? Pst's cultural mandate. I was thinking, all I need to do is to sit down, ask the students to do their own stuff and keep quiet and i'll get my $65 a day. Aniwae, they're not my students too..
but no man! i might as well give my best and haf excellence in it! Make them love studying. Enthuse them with
jokes, real life examples and help them learn life values. I love it man..

this yr's kinda different frm the Mr Ong 2 yrs ago..
Used to go there with loads of gals gg gaga over me..
And they'll do lots of silly things just to attract my attention..
some of them are quite cute.. so farni lar..
but now.. things are much different with the different generation.
the students now are much more "loud" and rebellious
totally not shy to tell a teacher off..
guess my style of teaching gotta change le..
but i still enjoy motivating them, talking to them at their level.
this still works!
today got a chance to teach in a class with 2 teachers!
Miss Joanna Chua.
A very shy lady
We have to co-teach together for CPA on 2 different occasions..
haha..she's kinda cute. very young(probably few years my senior)
reminds me of Miss Sharon Lee(my sec 4 form teacher)
very small and innocent, does her job well..
hehe..kinda looking fwd to learn more from the other teachers..
maybe teaching is really for me?
who knows?

we celebrated one day earlier..
our gang went over to town to celebrate for her..
they met earlier at thai express paragon for their dinner,
while i have to settle for my early reunion steamboat dinner.
met them der and planned an "argument" with another fren.
trying to cause confusion in the atmosphere stirring up animosity and discomfort.
in the end, we head towards sentosa for our surprise.
our quarrel got worse that i alighted the car and slammed the door in "anger"
rushed to find a gd spot on the beach to start laying my surprise..
while e bdae gal is still in shock, i asked my another buddy to come help me..
we perspire under the dark sandy beach trying to dig holes to put our tealights..
and once done, we invited her over, sang her bdae song n she was deeply touched.
indeed a touching one for her, to her, the happiest one so far.
The words stood out bright and outstanding reflecting her initials - K I M M I E.
Happy bdae to u!

Had a great reunion dinner this yr..
Its at yorke hotel (function rm)
many new faces n guests came..
it was the 7th of such reunion dinner but oso
a VERY SPECIAL ONE
Why?
unlike the usual dinner where I'll invite E-Z to come sing
a few songs, this time round, i wanted to do something
different and special. i sang them a modified song - "First"
and spoke on a short topic on "LOVE"
3 pt short guide:
Love can be healing or hurting
Cure for it?
3 things to improve your love: 1) Being sensitive
2) Being available
3) Ablility to give
Some of the people were real convicted about it too
Some teared..
Some came to me after that with a big hug and praised me for it!
I hope it has opened up their hearts!
Thank God!
Pray for them!

with more responsibilities in life. time to look fwd!
Went sakae buffet w kl qian tham bg shkoh wx phong at raffles n played pool after tt at marina. so-so lar =)
February 04 JESUSHands that hold the heavens
Hold my heart tonight Love pierce through my darkness Glorious light Words of life eternal Heal my broken soul To whom will I go There's no one else but You alone Jesus Jesus No other name No one the same like You The Truth, the Life, the Way Jesus Jesus Glory and praise Our voices we raise to You The soon and coming King You are the Christ Son of the Living God The Great I Am I'll follow You till the end -words & music by KC and David February 03 Temple VS TemperTemple: an edifice erected as a place of public worship
Temper: heat of mind or passion, shown in outbursts of anger, resentment, etc. Both words with the letter "T", almost similar spelling, pronouncation but different meanings.
I was just reflecting on these 2 words yest and I just wanna share my view.
Recently, I've been trying to have certain form of "anger management" instill in me. I realised that I am very easily provoked and can become impatient at times. I am an easy victim of peer influencing.. If someone down the road starts to "add fire" to a scenario, it can cause me to be boiled up and loose my flair quite easily. Hmm.. I wonder... How can I cool down and be stable enough to react than to act on impulse and regret. Temper is merely just an emotional process where it will fade off after the heat subsides. But the action which you do during anger might be so hurting to another party that it could be irreversible. Yes, a sorry will always help to make things better but a scar is scar after all and it reflects badly on your character.
On the other hand, Temple is where you are in the presence of a God(in whatever religions you believe in). I believe that most people unanimously agree that self-control is a virtue. To turn from wrath to peace is the reason why people turn to the supreme divinity. In a world where there are so much stress, rumors of wars, daily activities, all people need is the greek word SHALOM which means peace. So can both temple and temper co-exist? Can a person in the temple has temper or can a person with temper seeks temple. I would say in my opinion, both exist.
Going to the temple is a form of seeking and moving towards perfection. Note that it is the word perfection but not perfect. Men will never be perfect no matter how hard they try. Along the way, they will still fall and go through tough moments. Just like the saying during HELLWEEK, "TOUGH TIMES DON'T LAST BUT TOUGH MEN DO". However if you're one angry man, you need to humble yourself and allow the realm of divinity to "soften" you up. It will never be easy. Imagine asking a patientless guy to wait upon a god, it will be much of a inclined process to take. But one touch from heaven will never leave you to be the same again.
In closing, I feel that Temple and Temper must be balanced together because you never try to be who you're not and I'm sure a "holy" man will get angry at times. A man should move from temper and incline himself towards temple. Allow yourself to cool down. Perhaps if you know that one spark of something will make you punch that person, scream that vulgarity, throw that object or hurt that friend, take a step back and choose not to react. Take deep breaths and cool yourself down. After the "peak" period, you'll definitely feel better. Always remember not to act on impulse or else your "REACT" will turn to "REGRET"!
That's all for today.
And the best medicine for anger is:
SMILE
February 01 show the attitude..!Havoc! The match ended of with so much bad sportsmanship.
With their sizes, Spore players were slightly rough with their challenges and tackles
which the Thai players took advantage of it and went to the ground easily.
Yellow cards were flashed..
Spore got our first goal by a pen box scramble and in the end, the tourament's top scorer - Noh Alam Shah
added to his tally with a nice back-faced volley and hit it low right. The stadium erupted!!!
and the Old Dame was bursting w the Kallang roar again.
Moments after the 2nd half, the Thai counterpart equalised with a neat pass and rounded Lionel Lewis with
a slot in.
The match went on with lots of chances and the Spore side failed to capitalise with every counter attack.
Finally the highlight of the day came. A slightest touch from the Thai defender and Alam Shah fell to the ground.
Penalty! (a decision which was harshly made).
The Thais got so angry with the decision that they walked out of the pitch! Literally a self-proclaimed time out.
It took them 17mins before they were persuaded to go back to the pitch by AFF officials. Obviously actions will be taken
in the 2nd Leg and the Lions will definitely face a much hostile environment this coming sun.
Penalty was converted 2-1. one more lge to go at Bangkok.
But apart from all the ugly drama.. memories of the National Stadium was captured.
took lots of pics w my batch boys..
Enjoy
Match of e yr..[Dated yesterday..] |
