I am Back...Lesson Planning all ze way..

Been months since I last blog...Cos I have been busy lately. Yap! but with what you may wonder.. now that I am a swinging bachelorette..with her abundant freedom, off the tag of Commitment to the Other Half.. I suppose busy with adjusting to my newfound freedom n as usual, battling the emotional turmoils n word battles @ home every single day.. Anyway, nothing new to hear...typical of my life if you are to be a regular reader of my humble blog like my dearest Cousin n Dajie..right gers! Thanks for the concern in my life.

Or Perhaps I aint bloggin for I have been having the writer's mental block?Maybe yes, maybe not..Watever..Anyway, I was indeed busy, away in campus during the end of july for the NIE dJourNIE Orientation Camp for the freshmen where I tried my best to be a super-enthu n Onz.OGL for my dear OG...Gitanos 3... A lot of fun-loving, approachable pple.. My pleasure to know them..

Hehe..Speaking of G3, it simply reminded me of their original catchy Cheer with actions too:)
It goes like this...
Look @ Sentosa, what do pple see?
OPMC dressed as Pirates running all around??...

( oops..kind of sound odd to me..but this is the best I can recollect... Oh no..haha..I am getting old..)

Meet us 2nite @ NIE
Meet us 2nite all alone...

We got sth to show..Sth big n strong...

(Now's the catchy part with actions...)
1 Gitanos, 2 Gitanos, 3 Gitanos...4, 5,6Gitanos...
(a pair is to jump out as the OG sing "1G... "
then the 2nd pair for the next phase" 2G..." and so on..

Many many more (Hey)
Many many more (Hey)!!!


To sum up, dJourNIE had been an enjoyable, fun-filled camp and certainly the highlight of July for me!

As for more recent updates,
I have been busy with my training for long-distance runs lately..with my running partner, dearest SL..Why the need to train? Cos we are thinking of going for the Standard Chartered Run: Half-Marathon catergory( maybe 21km the ultimate goal of tis yr's running target!)provided we survive our upcoming 10km Sheares Run..

Other than running, my life is back to that of a typical undergrad's uni life...Adjusting back to the stress of the sem..This sem...Super terrible..Overloading with tons of assignments and projects and of course the ultimate-Lesson Plans for EMS.. that either make or break your grade... Your passing of the teaching modules depends on how good the lesson plans are... I reason out to myself that these are the essential training and drilling before the real on-job training assessment: teaching practicum..

All in all, this sem..Yr 3 SEm 2 shall be another tough one to cope with my on-going family issues..haiz..though I have made the difficult decision of giving up my other interest- dragonboating... In life, you gain some, you lose some.. How true..

Till the next time we "meet"... when I do have such Xtra time again..
( Cos u c, my class ended early this fateful day..hehe..)
Back to writing lesson plans.... ..... learning outcomes...specific instructional objectives... tuning in... concept mapping...... Bye!
