Flashback of my first year part 1

It's been a while since my last entry. Been busy with my new career as a teacher, plus being posted in a rural school made it difficult for me to get a hold on the internet, and when i do have time to go to town, I had to finish up my work.

Now is already the first day of December! I really can't believe how fast time flies, because it only seemed liked yesterday that I was packing my things ready to set off to my new school.
It has been 9 months in that school and trust me, so many things happened that I really want to share. Of course there are the good, the bad and the sad memories, but since it's the season to be jolly, let's only dwell on the good memories that happened this year.

(training pupils for choral speaking competition, won third place and represented kanowit to Sibu, although we didnt win, but the experience gained was really worth it!)

(my humble home, this was when we first moved in, wait till you see it NOW, i prefer it when it was still like this xD)

(Morning scenery from the back, the heavy mist in the morning made me feel like I'm living in the mountains, but in the afternoon it would be hot as if you're in an oven!!)

(After two weeks, finally going back home for the CNY holidays, hey, we had to ride in a lorry, boat and van to reach the airport, luckily i made it on time!!)

(After the holidays, my kids got their medical check up and injection, they were year 1 and I was their homeroom teacher)

(my favourite subject: Art class, although i am teaching english, i love arts too, and i like it when the pupils enjoyed themselves and i could see that they are really talented, although the process was gruesome and they had their shirt all stained by paint)

(One of the good thing in a rural school, is that you get to eat all those exotic food! This is one of my favourite, known as PAMA, it's a type of frog and as you can see from the picture, the legs and head are still inside the pot, i only like to eat the thigh because they really taste like chicken! YUM!)

(During one of the long weekends, finally got to meet my best friend, MAG!! She came all the way from Bintulu to Sibu just to meet me! How sweet of her! Talked non-stop even if it was only for a few minutes) 

This is the end of part 1, so be prepared for the next part to come! Bye

Starting a new career: Teaching

After waiting for a month plus, finally I got the name of the school which I am posted to. I was shocked at first because I have never been to any place outside of Kuching (my hometown).
My first school is SK Nanga Ngungun in Kanowit.
But, as they say losers can't be beggars, meaning to say that I have no right to say anything because I could have no posting at all, so a job is better than job, hence the saying. :)

Anyway, I did a bit of checking and found out that the school is actually not bad, despite having to use an express boat to arrive there, it's still actually quite near the small town. I just hope that it has everything I need because I really don't know what to bring and I'm now afraid that I would forget to bring what's really important.

The feeling I'm having right now is bittersweet. It is great that I got a job but I was secretly hoping that it was somewhere near my family. But, I hope there's some blessing in disguise. Now, all I want to be is think positively and hope for the best. So far, I've contacted the school's headmaster and he seemed a nice person and so I could only pray now.

(In dilemma of what to bring.. going somewhere new could be such a headache sometimes)

(I feel like I'm trying to put in my whole wardrobe into the luggage)

Let's pray that the people there are nice and that I can communicate well with them. Amen.. :)

Raining, raining, what to do

It's been raining non-stop for a few days now. I like being at home but the rain is making me worried that there might be a flood in my housing area. :-/

I really pray that the rain would stop. Since I haven't updated in quite a while, here's what I've been up to. Enjoy the pictures. ^-^

(Made this large because my nephew's feet was too large for his age. The first one couldn't fit it at all)

(A new colour for him, this is the best one, i have to admit, practice makes perfect)

(Sushi anyone? Been watching too many anime, yummy though)

(Miniature and funny looking pizza, but still they taste good) ^-^

(My biggest project, making them for sale, still have two more to go, hoping to make more, let's hope I can have all the time I need to finish them) 

There's many things we can do at home when it's raining. Since I'm the indoor type, I find it heaven, the cool and nice weather, only makes me want to sleep. But I busying myself with so many things which I had no time to do before, but now I can finally do what I like. :)

God bless and let's pray that the rain will not affect our mood today.

Is the order a rabbit Review

Just finished watching this anime and for me, it's quite okay. But if you like cute adorable girls, this would be the anime for you. The title itself is quite funny. At first I thought there was an error or something, I thought it was supposed to be "The order of the rabbit" ... T_T

Anyway, there is nothing romantic in it, but it's quite fun to watch the daily lives of girls doing part-time jobs as waitresses in different cafes.

The main character in the story is a very shy girl and she made friends with a very lively girl, named Cocoa, and together their lives became lively along with their other friends. The most hilarious thing in this story is that the shy girl always carry something fluffy on her head, which turned out to be a rabbit. And INSIDE the rabbit was her grandpa, which, for unknown reason, the grandpa was inside the body of the rabbit named Tippy.

(the main character with her rabbit a.k.a grandpa a.k.a Tippy on her head)

Idols: What about them?

I believe lots of people in this world adore more than one celebrity and these are considered as idols. I don't mean it in a bad way. I mean, we just adore them so much. But there should be a limit to it.

I like tons of singer and actors that I can't really keep count of them. The most important thing in liking idols are that there should be something good we can learn from them. If they are doing wrong things, we shouldn't follow their footsteps.

Most of the time, I love singers because they could sing so very well. However, they are not genius, look at how silly they are during variety shows. Therefore, we shouldn't brand idols as perfect people, because they are not! They are just humans, like you and me. If there's something I learnt from them, it's never to give up. Nothing is easy in this world. They might make it seem easy but it's not. However, we can learn from them, such as how to be strong when faced with negative comments and learn from past mistakes.

My favorite singer lately is none other than THE Taylor Swift. She started out small, with just country songs. But steadily she rose to fame and look where she is today. She never really cares what others talk about her. She is self-confident, in a good way(I think). I like how she could be strong continuously. I bet she must have had some bad days. But she can cover it up well and get over it without making such a big fuss about it (except for the part that most of her songs were about her ex's).
 I like independent women, they can really show the world that women can be at par with men.

Review on Re: Hamatora 2

Wonderful anime!!! I've fallen in love with it since watching the first season.

The story is about people with super abilities and it's about a detective group(Hamatora) who solve cases. They are like private investigators.
The characters in the story are mostly handsome and the story line is very nice.

In the 2nd season, it was a continuation from a cliffhanging 1st season. I was so sad when I thought that the main character "Nice" was dead. But at the end of the first ep, he was actually alive!!! ^-^

His childhood friend became crazy because of some reason and wanted to kill him. So, this season was how Nice kept himself alive with the help of his other friends. In this season, their abilities started to deteriorate and at first I thought that all super abilities would eventually vanish. But they were like that because of someone. That person's ability was to neutralise super abilities. Weird, but the person's ability could only be activated when he is met with despair.

What I like about this anime is that there was forgiveness in the end.
I am happy that the bad character turned good in the end(because I liked him so much in the 1st season). Hence the ending was very good. I am not a good judge in anime because mainly I just follow the storyline without complaining, unless the plot is too flat and the main character becomes too important that he overshadows the other characters.

Love this anime and secretly hoping that there will be another season or OVA.. :)

Dreams of rainbows

Have you ever dream of rainbows before?
I have countless dreams of them, it comes especially after I had an exhausting and disappointing day.
I guess it comes as a comfort that God will always keep His promise and that we should be patient even though it seems that our world is falling apart.

In each dream that I encountered rainbows, they never cease to calm me down. I feel so relaxed after looking at it. It must have been my imagination because in every dream that I have, all the rainbows were different, some had only two colours, some were glittering and shining and some were so huge!! It felt so real and the feeling was... WOW.. That was all I could think of, no words could describe their beauty.

In the Bible, the rainbow appeared after the huge flood in Noah's time as a promise that God would not flood the world anymore. According to science, rainbow is formed because of reflection (or so, I don't really want to bother about the scientific thing, for me, it's a sign of God's promise to us)...

The most vivid dream that I ever had were about fairies and rainbow. In my dream, the fairies were the ones forming the rainbow(of course it's just a dream, but the fairies were so beautiful, like angels, one could say). It was so beautiful. I tried to search for it on the internet and found one picture that looked almost similar to my dream.

Rainbows are a sign of good omen and it gives us hope for a better tomorrow.
I love seeing rainbows and would always try to search for one after a heavy rain. The view is breath-taking.

Even the song that Cinderella sung had the word 'rainbow' in it and the lyric is very meaningful too.. (take a look)
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true

Hence, we should not give up on our dreams. And if we do tend to give up after struggling for a long time, think of God's rainbow and His promise.

In Jeremiah 29:11, God said that,
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

When we feel down, look up, search for the rainbow that the Lord has given to us and be strengthened as we remember His promise. It might not come today or tomorrow, but like Cinderella said, 

"Have faith in your dreams and someday your rainbow will come smiling thru"

"If you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true" ^-^

~God Bless~
