Songs

Listening to my originals & reading a book is the best way of relaxing~ And after relaxing for a few hrs, I actually wrote 2 lyrics today! I'm clearing my waiting list! 3 more to go~

A good book can nourish a soul

Just finished reading Cecelia Ahern's "Where Rainbows End". Magical is the first word that pops up in my mind...This novel is written in the format of messages -- notes, e-mails, sms, msn, e-mails, letters, chatrooms..At the epilogue, it's written in the third person and the narrator says that the main character has just finished reading the last letter...she has stayed up reading all the notes and letters that she has printed out and saved throughout her life...The whole thing is so complete, so...magical.

The main story is about a girl and a boy who knew each other since they were 5 yrs old, who has been best friends for life. Due to lots of circumstances and misunderstandings, they weren't able to be together. They didn't learn about the love from each other until very late in life. Imagine being in love with this person for decades and finally being together with him when you're 50 something. It sounds very story-like, but if you read this book, you'll shed tears 'cause it all seems so real...Never miss any chance to tell the one you love that you love him...

Sometimes, it might seem that I'm a little bit obsessed with reading romance and being romantic. But hey, life is romantic when you think about it! At least...more ppl love sweet chocolate than bitter chocolate. =)

M&M?

Copied from yesterday's xanga entry:

I went through my thesis defense yesterday... the time leading up to it was the worst of my life... haha.. i've done many presentations before, but this one is a lil different.. I wasn't worried about the presentation part, but I have no idea what kinds of QUESTIONS will be asked...once i got started though, everything was fine.. so i started at 10:30am, after the presentation and questioning period it was around 12:10pm.. they needed to discuss and i had to leave the room.. after a while,they came out to meet me, they each shook my hand and said "congratulations, you've graduated".. it felt so good!! i'm now a M.Math... haha... my sister must be jealous (she did her master in stats in UT, but they dun have math faculty.. so she's only a M.Sc.. and she didn't do a thesis.. so that doesn't really count.. =P) YAY~

My last day!

Today is the last day of my teaching block, and it's fun! I gave the kids a catch up period in the morning, and I taught the ones who've finished their work how to make origami hearts. They really enjoyed it~

In the afternoon, we went outside to play~ We had popsicles that Ms.Carson bought, and we just let them run and play on their own. Avallon and Kamryn were trying to get the group's attention, and I saw her doing the "left index finger over lip, right hand up" thing that I always do! I couldn't stop smiling! Then Avallon came over and told me that it didn't work, and asked me how I could get them to stop talking and listen. That's so cute hehe~

When we went back to the classroom, Ms.Carson gave me a pot of flower as a gift from the class. That's so thoughtful of her! She told me to take care of it, and if it dies, that means I don't love them anymore hahhahah~ I gave her a thank you card, and I gave each of the kids a bookmark that I made. I worked on them all weekend! And they seem to love it, 'cause their name's on it~ ^-^

Ms.Carson also gave me a card with a touching message:
"You're done your 1st placement! I've so enjoyed working with you. The kids have grown to care about you and we will all miss seeing you. You will make a wonderful teacher one day!"
