And they run screaming....

Another class, another lesson, the children needs to be told how their behaviour affects others and then they will listen. Again, they run screaming to the toilet beside my attempts to send them in group of 3. Faintz!

In the next class, I plans to make the male tots queue up and be told how to do it right and proper, not to run, not to scream and act responsible. Just like I explains how I told one male tot that he should take responsible for what he said after the victim complained to me that he told her that she a pig, Kids are good naturally, some noisy, some quiet, some very shy and generally adorable. :)

Peezzeee

It was simply amazing, funny and shocking at the same time, all of them fighting to pee into the 2 urinal is a memory I always remember.

When I asked them to queue and wait for their turn, they simply refused and want to be the first. Talk abt urgency. Controlling these tiny tots is a exercise in patience and self-control. And some of them really washes their hands. Faintz.

Luckily, none of them went missing during the toilet break and all reach back the class without any injury. I was so worried that the few naughty ones will run away while I scramble to and from those who finished peeing and those waiting their turn. Faintz! Faintz!

At the end of day, it was fun. My first lesson with Primary 1 kids for the catechist class. Luckily, Margate was a experienced teacher and knows how to manage them and control them. There still a long way for me to go before I can taking over a class, thou I be looking forward to it.

It is inspirational and so exciting that these tiny tots are so positive in life and they have so much to learn and pick up the right lessons to be better persons. And they are so impressionable, which is both a danger and a chance, that they may turn either way if placed in the wrong company and environment.

I be looking forward to the next class. Lent.

Kindness of Strangers

Sometimes, a stranger do the simplest action that make you feel that the world is a kinder place. Like the kind stranger who passed me his unused parking coupon when I finished parking next to him, to the kind man who pass me his winning coupon for a free drink. The world does have people who treat other human with care, unselfishness and kindness.

Praise God! Let me have the strenght and loving heart to be a kind stranger also.

Udders Ice Cream

Here another ice cream which have better layout and presentation, Ubbers is located in GoldHill Center and serves wonderful ice cream with their waffles. Their waffles with their ice cream is so delicious that I went for two rounds. :)






Their liquor flavours are strong with the liquor and blended very well overall. Their Bailey & Burbon really deserves the award given to it. I went there on a Sat night and it was crowded and packed. They are also famous for their durian flavour creation, thou I did not try any that night.

From memory, these are the flavours i ate. :)

Rum Rum Raisin : Simply love Rum taste in this. Not too strong, not too light.
Bailey & Burbon : Heavy Bailey melding very well with the burbon.
Lychee Martini : The lychee and Martini at the same time. Complementary each other.
Gila Melaka : Traditionally Gila taste, a refreshing asia touch.
Orange Choc Bitter: Yes, bitter and orangey at the same time!

Colleague's Wedding Photos

It is a kinda of feeling that have lots of emotion mixed in it. The kind where all the emotions have equal strengths, pulling at my heart. Sad, envy and happy at the same time watching my colleague wedding photos and albums.

Sad and envy because I got reminded that a chance of my have past. Happy for my colleague because if is his happiness day of his life. The photos and video are excellently crafted together with a matching audio track bringing out the right emotions.

This feelings is the kind that reminded me of where I am now is because of a decision I made in the past. It is the "what if" questions that its bring along.

And it is always then I remember the reasons and rational that made me reach my decision. No regretfulness over being unfaithful adds strength to the fact that the love is only one-sided. Never will I let one lie remain unchallenged for it will always leads to many others.

And in this aspect, my wedding will be one full of praise and worship for my God. I have chosen the songs and the church. And I pray to the Lord not to let me wait too long for his chosen one for me.

Pukka Ice Cream

E recommend Pukka, seeing my recent entries about ice cream shop, telling me that it is even nearer to my home. The place is located at near the famous NUS prata stalls, after the 7-11.

It was pretty quiet and the flavours pretty normal, i.e. vanilla, horlicks, rum and raisin. I tried the rum and raisin and was shocked to find how heavy the rum is in the ice cream. Overall, it is money well spent thou it will not be one of my must go again place.

Be-Do-Have II

One key factor to Be the person you aim to be is to improve one own self-awareness. This is the starting point. Being aware of how you doing it right, of how you are not doing the things you starts the discovery and search process of self-improvement.

It is not necessary to actually know what you not doing right or doing right, with time and multiple experiences and keeping your eyes/ears open and remembering what had occurred helps.

Just like the case of what is the proper response if someone eyes your other significant half, a confident, self-assured person will take it as a compliment that his choice is still attractive and she/he is with him. Maybe, a self self-assured person will be jealous of the attention by the other half. A debate may arise that the jealous response is normal and justifiable. I would agree and ask how a confident person with jealous feeling would react in this scenario?

The key take from the above is again self-awareness, being aware of your own feelings and the surrounding helps to bring a total picture view and increase the growth of self-improvement.

Be-Do-Have

It is a important concept to self-actualization of your goals.

Be the future person by starting to thinking like him. On the way, act out the actions and start behaving like the person to be. Then, you will start having the life of what you want to be.

It is easier to have a role model to copy from, thou I believe by thinking hard and increasing your self-awareness, you will discover the area of improvement. Then start Be, Do on those area of improvement.

It goes back to your life goals, area of work/family/community/self and in those areas finding the actions and thoughts to be the person you ultimately are.

Start with small achievable goals and build on the foundational from there.

My name not Tom

"I named the store Tom's Palette to remind myself to work hard, to prove to Tom, my partner that a ice cream store is a feasible in Singapore. Even thought there are many ice cream brands in the supermarkets" He answered when I asked who is Tom.

So today, I tried the following delicious flavours, , Apple Pie (Yum! Yum!) and Granny Favourite (Always nice!) in a small cup while carrying a tub of creamy cheese cake,Pumpkin and ??.

Super Yum! Must try!
