I have a confession to make.
Yesterday, I gave a talk during a sharing session (on teaching, what else). The time given was supposed to be 10 mins. You must have guessed! Once I started, I couldn't stop. I talked SOOOOOOOOOO long that it left with no time for other speakers in my group (about 5-6 of us).
Still poor at time control, after all these years. However, I should be forgiven for most of the audience were easily 2 or 3 times more experienced.
Not concised enough too. Carried away. Too eager to share too many stuff within given time....
I shouldn't have taken up this task in the first place.

All these years, in my school. Never realised that I have working right on a treasure pit!
It all started when I decided to work out the students' industrial project myself as the delivery date is closing. Inevitably, I need electronic components and headed down to the EEE store.
Anyone who has a minimum experience in project work would have predicted that one trip is never enough. Beginning is always the basic functional components to get things working first. Then gradually as ideas are firming and more esthetically/modular design is needed, I even planned of purchasing some of the things I needed.
To my surprise, my BIG BIG surprise!!!
The EEE store not only has ALL the things I need at no cost, and they even have tones of diversified connectors, switches, pins, ICs...... down to PVC of various sizes!!!
Just too good to be true. Our government is REAL serious about education, beyond my expectation.

Left this place for a while. Now I am back.
Between now and my previous blog, things have changed, especially the world. - Financial market has tumbled since October and seeing no U-turn yet - Obama, a name that has instilled a new sense of hope - My daughters have cleared their EOY, learnt in many ways and most importantly, grown - My school has merged with two others and became a new Cluster - My eye sight and my hair colour has been deteriorating (mercylessly warning me of the time left before I hit 50) - Unknowingly, my blog skin has changed again. It becomes a pleasant surprise for me every time I log in, esp if I have not been here for a while. Thanks to my elder daughter! (She loves to maintain the skin for me)(I wonder any special meaning for "broken"?)
Any way, ahead of me are more changes: - Going to have a new boss in 1 Jan 2009 (who? No idea yet) - Going to be a PSLE parent for the second time - and, any other unknown and uncertainty

So unbeatable is our defending team (staff)!
The team championed again in the annual Poly50 run, even with one female runner injured and dropped out during her very first lap! With strong feelings about the run and the school, a team flag with specially design logo and a medal are up on display at the runners' office. A sign has also been put up to ensure everyone passing by would spot these momentos of glory.

Went to Garden Festival 2008 on 27 Jul 2008 with my elder daughter. We volunteered in the morning, went for lunch and spent the afternoon enjoying the beautiful flowers at level 4 and 6!
