Time: 1:15 pm for lunch firstBring: $10 for the rental of bikes and a bit extra for meals (depending on how high class your meal is). * If you don't want to eat lunch or can't make it at 1.15pm at Kallang, you can also meet us at east coast park at around 2.15pm.
* Take care of yourself when cycling- don't want you to be injured else your parents don't let you go out with your teacher next time.

Dear 3I,
I really should be sleeping and I really want to sleep now, but I can't sleep if I don't type this. Here goes..
One of the thing we learn as we grow up is the ability to put our emotions into compartments and don't mix them up or take them out unnecessarily or take them out at the wrong time.
An example of mixing up emotions is when you had a bad day because of person A, but when you go out with person B on the same day, you show her an upset face and both of you cannot have a good time together.
An example of taking out emotions unnecessarily is when your parents said something hurtful to you in the morning, and then when you turn up for the first period class, you say something hurtful to person A.
An example of taking emotions out at the wrong time is when person A hurt you 2 weeks ago and then 2 weeks later, out of no where you suddenly tell person A you are not happy with her.
Unfortunately, like you, I am also learning how to put my emotions into compartments and learning how to put my own interests at the very bottom and your interests at the very top in my heart. I think I brought my weariness into the class today. I was tired, then I read the time table wrongly.. I am sorry I should have been stronger and not show my weariness to you at all because this is my own problem and I should not show it at all and I should solve it myself-> putting my emotions into compartments and not bringing them out.
I could have been more patient although most of you were not listening because I can always be more understanding and more patient and having chosen to be a teacher, I should be the queen of patience and queen of understanding.
But on the other hand, I think all of you also need to work on listening when I am going through answers. This is because if you don't listen, you don't learn from your mistakes and that is not good for 2 reasons. Firstly, we as human beings, make a lot of mistakes. Second, every piece of worksheet contains your precious and valuable effort! So do bring something useful back into your brain to keep with u so that you can take it out another time and use it, e.g. exams, conversations with friends/relatives, writing, ordering food at restaurant etc.
I was upset when I walked out. I was thinking how could I have handled it better. Sigh. In fact I am still upset at myself now. I was also wondering.. the closer I get to all of you, the easier and the more I will be hurt by your actions and your words because when a person means a lot to you, what they do and what they say matters so much more and if these things are not nice, they will hurt much more than what a person whom you don't care for at all says and does. This really frightens me a lot whenever I think about it... But it is also true that after one gets hurt, God can heal us easily if we ask Him. Therefore, I choose to try again and not give up or stop...
Okay... so... let us try again... \( - -.)"/
Yours sincerely,
Miss Chang
What is education for
if one does not aspire to go to University?
"Choose a job you love,
and you will never have to work a day in your life."
"It's never too late, or, in any case, too early to be whoever you want to be.
There's no time limit, stop whenever you want.
You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing.
We can make the best or the worst of it.
I hope you make the best of it.
And I hope you see the things that startle you.
I hope you feel things you never felt before.
I hope you meet people with a different point of view.
I hope you live a life you're proud of.
If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."- Benjamin Button (from the film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), in a letter to his daughter.
When a GIRL is quiet ... million of things are running in her mind.
When a GIRL is not arguing ... she is thinking deeply.
When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions ... she is wondering how long you will be around.
When a GIRL answers " I'm fine " after a few seconds ... she is not fine at all.
When a GIRL stares at you ... she is wondering why you are lying.
When a GIRL lays on your chest ... she is wishing for you to be hers forever.
When a GIRL wants to see you everyday... she wants to be pampered.
When a GIRL says " I love you " ... she means it.
When a GIRL says " I miss you " ... no one in this world can miss you more than that.
Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
Who calls you back when you hang up on him.
Who keeps his promises to you.
Who cares for old people.
Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead only.
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how blessed he is to have you.
Who turns to his friends and says, " That's her!! "
