Further Reflections

Surprise to see some of you posting your comments, etc. Feel so much better, at least someone is reading this blog.

Reflecting further, I realise that in this new dept, i had actually learn to be more closer to my students than was before, not that I was not close previously. Was it because I can troubleshoot computer problem, that students are calling me up, writing me notes asking for help, (as i always say, must start charging $10 for every question, then I can retire early!!!!!!!), but it is an indication that i am always accessible to my students, which i strongly believe a teacher should be.

Though I had a few brushes with some of the students, (at times they make my blood boils with their rudeness, defiant, you know who you are lah!) but the last 6 months was enjoyable in term of relationship with students, although it had been very stressful dealing with other issues in the dept.

Whenever I see students learn a new skills it always bring joy to my heart. Just like the 2 groups that went to Zentek, when I saw their final product I was indeed very happy for them beause they had learn a new software, just wished that i could send all of you there so that all could have learnt something.

My hope is that all students under my care will all eventually grow up to be good citizens and will NEVER end up in the wrong place or had taken a ptha of wrongdoing.

Thats all for now, do continue to post.

Bye and happy holiday

Purifying One's Own Will

Since Mr Chu wants me to write something in this blog, well ok!

Thousands of things in the world all manifest their natural qualities with their own individual variations of conditions. This is also the case with humans since every person has his own conditions, abilties, personality, orientation and opportunties. Therefore, different results consequently develope. However, each person's outlook on life, whether happy and fortunate or painful and sad, is not determined by his own conditions and circumstances. Instead, his outlook is based on what kind of thoughts are in his mind... If our mind incorrectly holds negative concepts, then we will live in pain; if our mind correctly holds assertive concepts, then we will in turn live in joy.

Reflections

Hi all,

was wondering whether anyone does read this blog. It seem so lonely without any comments. Hopefully, someone is reading this blog and is blessed by whatever is written. It had also been sometine since I wrote in this blog and my personal blog.

Time passes since this blog was started. It was started with the intention of having a platform for my students to express their views, dissapointment etc. Although it had started well, but it seem to be dying down now.

Anyway, as i reflect on what had happen since this blog started, at least there was a posting on how one of my student felt as an ITE student. Even if i could salvage one student, i believe this blog had done some good.

Had been on msn chat with a few of my students and i must say, it was interesting, as i could felt that it was probably a 1st time they as students had a chance to have an informal chat with their teacher. This was my desire, to be a "people teacher" if there's such a word.Been in the teaching line for 20 over years, my passion for teaching is still burning, and not just teaching them a skill, but also an influence to their lifestyle, praying that they will grow up to be good people.

Everytime, I read in the paper of how youngster gave up their life, entangle in wrong company, ending in jail, it breaks my heart. If i could be of help to my students, ensuring that they will not end up like this, i will give my all to help them.

This is my sincere reflection of what's happening since the blog started about 3 months back.

Helloooooo,is there's someone reading this, would encourage me a lot if there's some reply or comments. Feel very lonely, as though I am talking to the wall.

That's all for now

We are all the stuff. We are all the same energy, coalesced, compressed in different ways to create different forms and different matter.

Nothing "matters" in and by itself. Jesus said, "Without the Father, I am nothing." The Father of all is pure thought. This is the energy of life. This is what you have chosen yo call Absolute Love. This is the God and the Goddess, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. It is the All-in-All, the Unmoved Mover, the Prime Source. It is that which you have sought to understand from the beinning of time =. The Great Mystery, the Endless Enigma, the eternal truth.

There is only One of us, and so, it is THAT WHICH YOU ARE.

Be more compassionate!!!

It been ages since i wrote in the blog. was pretty busy with the coming exams of my students, looking for sample assessment for them, trying to get them ready.

2 thing happen that i guess i would like to reflect on.
one, last friday when i was giving a revision, hoping that it will benefit my student, but somehow, this boy, Billy was very rude. it almost broke my patience with him. here i was trying so hard to get sample questions scanned and helping the students to be ready for the exam and there he was playing computer games with alfred. So i told him to stop and listen, but he loudly says "shit you man!!". immediately i told him i will slap his mouth if he says that again, though i know i will not do it, instaed of apologising, he says, "slap my nose lah!" i was withholding myself from explodng. It is sad, when heer i'm trying to help, not seeking for appreciation, but at least their attention so that they will pass, but sadly, some think otherwise. God hep me to be patient!!!

the second thing was when i read the sunday new paper. one journalist wrote a story in the form of a letter to the mother of an illegal work found dead at teh foot of the HDB flat. it was so touching, as he expressed the apology to the mother of this unknown dead son. for thos who did not read the earlier report. this is the story. it was about an illegal worker from myannar, who felled to his death in a worksite. the employer, afraid that he will be persecuted, secretly move and dump the body at another location making it seem like he committed suicide. Thank God that he was caught for such a blantant act. How could he do such a thing, as the journalist wrote, the dead man mother will never see her son again, and worst not even knowing that he is dead aand will never returns and there the mother wating day after day, looking for his return. Here we in singapore, pide ourselves as first world country, civilised people, citizens with high paper qualifications, etc yet doing such a terribel thing, without a thought for the dead nam family.

I prayed that God will have mercy on us singaporean, that we will not grow up to be a nation without compassion, without feeling for our fellow human being.

It is a sad entry, but i feel i need to put it in words so that we could reflect and learn from things that happen around us.

God bless al who reads.
