champion for a day

last year a few of my residents participated in special olympics 2009 and they did us proud by winning back some medals for us. (:

and this year we got invited to join KCPPS in their annual sport's day. they even invited a few of my residents to participate in a simple race (60m).

it was a first time for a few residents who didnt get a chance (for various reasons) to participate in special O. and i'm sure it's also an unforgettable day for them. (:


i'm very thankful to have volunteers like them who remembered to show care and concern for the less fortunate. whom like us, are working hard to make their life as enriching and interesting as possible.

i really appreciate the kind thoughts they put in preparing the medals and trophy for my clients. i can never forget the look on their faces when they crossed the finishing lines and waited eagarly to collect their medals. that moment of happiness in them..

we decided to put this particular resident in even though he cant run fast. what motivated us to select him is his "never give up's attitude". yes, he cant run fast and even came in last but he perserve till the end and never give up! i'm really proud of him. you should see his happy and cheerful face when he finished the race. it doesnt matter to him that he came in last.. what matter most is HE COMPLETED THE RACE despite the difficulties he faced base on his own abilities. and this is something that we should learn from him. never give up.. never say die.. despite how bad the situation is. perserve on and you will be greeted with a beautiful rainbow after the rain.

the champions in my heart! (:


oh.. im honoured to be given the opportunity to give out medals/ trophy to the students. my first time and it's an incredible experience! hahaa. never will i dream of being treated like a 'VIP' for that day. hahaha. thank you for giving me this opportunity to share the joy with the winners! (:

they really felt like champion for a day, which makes them proud and happy.
thank you for bringing joy into their life and gave them an unforgettable experiences. (:

有一點動心

老歌还是最好听！这首歌说出了我现在的想法。

我對你有一點動心
卻如此害怕看妳的眼睛
有那麼一點點動心　一點點遲疑
不敢相信我的情不自禁

我對你有一點動心
不知結果是悲傷還是喜
有那麼一點點動心　一點點遲疑
害怕愛過以後還要失去

high up the sky!

second time up singapore flyer in a month!
first was with melvyn when i joined him for his event
and now second time with my dearest colleagues..

and i still remembered how excited was I on the very first time when melvyn told me that we are going up the flyer!! excited until i cannot sleep and when i step on the flyer i actually lao bak sai!! hahaha JUST KIDDING!

but once i went up the flyer.. i realise that it's actually nothing.. like just sitting or standing there and looking at the not that fantastic scenery..

but what cracks me up is.... "MELVYN IS ACTUALLY SCARE OF HEIGHT!! HAHAHAHAHA" he was kind of panicking when we went higher and higher... but got to salute him... scare of height but he still went ahead!

even though he look kind of okay.... but he is actually panicking inside!! hahahaha

and look he is holding the pole until damn tight! hahaha

but glad he didnt faint during the ride! if not.... HAHAHAHAHA *cannot imagine*

anyway.. i guess i wont be going up there for the time being.. it's really nothing fantastic up there. wonder what's all the raves about! hmm....

twitter!

and yes i fall into iPhone's trap and naturally i got hooked onto twitter too.
it's way much easier to update my random thoughts!
so guess there might be a possibility that i will start neglecting my blog. :(

but anyway.. follow me on twitter now at

grandma dearest left us.

finally went up to grandma dearest's house earlier today after she left us. it's the first time when i'm there and she's not around. it feels so weird when i opened the door to her house.

the table that is always filled with yummy foods is now empty. yes things are never going to be the same again. i am so used to her presence in the house that it feels weird without her by my side.

it came so sudden that when it happened i dont even know what to do. i even tried my best to delay myself from attending her funeral on the first day. unfilial granddaughter. (i'm sorry grandma dearest. i simply cant accept the fact that you are gone.)

i sat in the kitchen and looked around (it's her territory!) .. trying my best to remember every single details that i see. and i thought i saw her standing there.. smiling at me..

tears started flowing when it finally hit me that she is gone forever. it seems only yesterday when we were still joking and talking to her in the kitchen. but now she's gone to a faraway land.

grandma dearest,

are you adapting well over there? i really hope so. but not us because we are still trying to come to term with your sudden departure. but dont worry about us. we will be fine. :) well i'm sure you are now having a happy reunion with grandpa dearest, third aunt and fourth aunt. :P

things are going to be different from now onwards but dont worry. we will cope and go through it all.

till we meet again grandma dearest.
i miss you so so sooo much.
there are lots of things that i have yet to tell/ do/ show you.
and you left me.

i pray that you are happy wherever you are now.

always in my heart,
ah girl.
