It's Sunday~

Hey guys! It's definitely rare to see me update on a Sunday. Hehe. Actually I have nothing to update about. Hmm... Or maybe I do. Remember the previous post on "Random updates"? There's this part where I mentioned about some card-making session right? Well, in fact, today is my church's Grandparents' Day/Elderly Day. So actually the cards are made for them. So the youths, went around the sanctuary giving the cards to those who are standing (60 years old and above) and then the preacher blessed them with a prayer and that's it. Haha. Hmm... What more? Hmm... How about i share with you my hairstyle and outfit of the day? ^^
Here's it!
Shall i do some hashtags? HAHAHA. That's what people on Instagram normally do right? xD Let me insert some hashtags then.. Hmm.. #Hairstyle #natural #curls #dress #ootd #floral #prints #pretty OKAY. THAT'S IT. I dont know what to tag about anymore. :P That's all for today. Enjoy! x

We are a part, not apart. [PLEASE READ]

HEY GUYS. I KNOW THIS POST IS REALLY WORDY BUT PLEASE DO FINISH READING THE WHOLE THING. THANKS A LOT! ^^

The original trend is that whatever teacher that teaches you during Sec3 will definitely follow you up to Sec4. Especially form teachers. However, that's not the case for my class. Without much time to prepare, our form teacher, Miss Lee, is leaving. Leaving as in really leaving Singapore. When she broke the news to my class, she was on the verge of crying but she held back because it was supposed to be a good news as she's getting married! But since she's getting married to a Canadian, she told us that she'll be settling down in Canada too and that means that she'll not be following my class up to Sec4. When we heard the news, the mood was solemn yet exciting. Some of my friends cried too. But the thing is that everyone is having mixed emotions as we are not sure if we should be sad because she's leaving and probably not coming back anymore or that we should be happy as she is getting married, and found her partner for life.

I remember that she was in Canada last year for some courses too but at that time, I didn't really care less about her. Because when i was in Sec1, which is two years ago, through the rumors and influence from my seniors, i got to know that she's really naggy and is sometimes unreasonable and you'll never know how much I dislike her and how glad i was when i know that she will be going to Canada that year. And this year, when i know that she's back, i was really unhappy and it happens that she became my form teacher! I can't believe it. I was so against it thought that it was bad luck and soon my classmates also came to know about what a clown she was making a fool of herself at times and how sarcastic and annoying she is at times. We always made fun of her in class but we actually failed to realize something.

She is actually a really caring teacher and you can approach her easily and tell her about your problems and she does her best to help you. She is also very concerned about all her students' well-being and always tries to correct them. However, we see all this as her being extra and annoying. And now that she's leaving, we gradually start to realize what a caring teacher she is and how much we wanted her to stay on. She broke this news to us on the last day of school this year which is about... 2 weeks ago? But well, we have to accept it as it is. We still have to bless her and congratulate her for her marriage! And below, i have a note by a classmate who was always pin-pointed by her and this is a really touching yet hilarious letter^^ (Writer of letter: Lew JunWei):

  I'm actually going to miss Miss Lee. Yes, she nags, but still, I like it. It shows how bloody much she cares for us. Tell me, who don't like it when someone actually takes the effort to consistently remind us to do this and do that, all for our own good. (Like how she nags at me to stop rocking my chair in class) She is sarcastic. As in really extreme sarcasm. No doubt I felt irritated then. But now, without hearing her god damn sarcastic remarks in everything that I do in the future... I just can't adapt. Really. I'm going to miss her husky voice. Her rare zhao xia cases. And her "meeeeee-annnnnnnn-derrrrrrrrring river", her " junwei is health guru / love guru", her "HEY. Don't say the S H I T word." her "EH WHO NEVER DO THEIR DUTY AR. CLASS IS SO DIRTY." , her " All right class, let's have a 2 minutes break. What song would you all like to hear?" And finally, her " Did I tell all of you that I really enjoy teaching this class?" multiple times. Everytime I'm tired, she will see it all. "Junwei, you okay anot?" Who'll ever do this? No one else. But her. As much as I dread her classes, I'll always look forward to seeing her wide,cheerful, sensodyne-like smile. Looking forward to know who's her victim for the day. She's funny. Always able to make me laugh at least once in a day. And I really appreciate it. A lot. Her enthusiasm is the one that really inspires me. HOW CAN ANYONE IN THE WORLD BE SO ENTHU EVERY SINGLE DAY, YOU TELL ME? Always using weird tones while teaching. Geez. She never takes mc. I still remember how she had serious runny nose but she still continued to come to school. I regret. Truly regretful. How I have never cherished her. How long do I have to wait, to be able to meet such a.....great, glamorous....perfect teacher once again? A trip to Canada, perhaps.

Truly touching with a sense of humor.... And there goes, our form teacher, the one that teaches us Social Studies and Geography is gone. And next, guess what? Another blow. It's a news that we just got yesterday... Something that we definitely dread to hear... Mrs Esther Choo, our Additional Maths and Elementary Maths teacher is leaving too. But nope, not leaving the school or country like Ms Lee but still, she's leaving us. We will definitely still see her in school though, but she's not teaching us anymore. 

Here's a picture that we took with Mrs Choo on her last day teaching us. :')

Our class love her. She's like so interesting and always shares stories of her 2 cute daughters to us. Oh, and she treats us like her children too (: When we are having 3 period lessons, she never fail to make us persevere through. Though i don't know how but we do have conscience and you wouldn't believe me but even when people owe her homework or anything, she never punishes them. Sometimes we even took her for granted but she never once did yell or get frustrated at us. Everyday, no matter how tired she is with countless of meetings and lessons, she always enter the class with a huge smile plastered on her face. It's like unbelievable. I mean, everyone has their limits right? Once you reach your limit you'll just erupt or breakdown right? What about her? No, she's not a robot. She just has the passion to teach. As simple as that.

And next year is like the critical year but yet 2 teachers are leaving us and these 2 teachers hold a significant meaning to us....

Random Updates :D

Okay. So about 2 weeks ago, i went to trim my hair and since i already have natural curls, I just decided to make it look nicer so in the end my hair turned out like that. HAHAHA. Was really bored so decided to have some fun with my hair! Totally love it! (;

OH SHIT! Haha. So i got your attention? xP It's BROWNIES~ Baked by a sister from church for our fellowship! OMNOMNOMZ. The one on the left includes marshmallows and the one on the right is just original! (; HEHEHE. It was so YUMMYLICIOUS! 

Last Sunday, youths from my fellowship did cards/bookmarks with inspiring verses for the people living in the neighborhood, mainly the elderly. We split into groups so some people did the cutting some did the decorating and i did the writing with some other too! (; Pretty! It's kind of related to Thanksgiving or Christmas or maybe just a sort of outreach program to those who haven't received Christ? ^^ Let's just hope that it will be put in good use~

And here's the team that works on the cards. Not all actually. Some already left. Hehe. :D

And this is the end of my random update, maybe i shall update a last post for the day. It'll be quite a solemn one. xoxo

[Update] Born on this day ~26 Sept

Here, here. This post is just a continuation or update from my previous previous previous....... the post on 26 September, which is my birthday! Haha! I'm just gonna post pictures of some of the present from my awesome and lovely friends and guess what? Even now, more than one month after my birthday, i'm still getting belated birthday presents! Really love my friends for making my birthday seem so important 

Firstly, this is the latest present i got from MeiXian! My dearest babe!  I really love it. 
And this cute little red bear here is given to me by a group of my awesome classmates! Let me name them.... JiaQian, Sneha, Felicia, ShiKai, Jolyn Tan, Darren and Chongmin! Thanks so much for this cute red bear. And just for extra info, this bear was really pathetic in class because it got raped by many people. To put it in simpler terms, everyone is fighting over it. :P

As you can see here in this two pictures, there are lots of random stuffs and you can observe that majority of it is chocolates. Yes. I LOVE CHOCOLATES. You got it. But there are also other really useful and cute presents as well as cards from friends! That was the best day ever 
AND WITH THIS I JUST WANNA SAY THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO WISHED ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN PERSON, ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK. AND EVEN EMAIL! GOD BLESS~ 

Forensic Science Workshop ~ 3-7 Sept

Are you a fan of detective shows or shows that investigates crime scenes? For example CSI Miami, The Mentalist, Nip Tuck(Or whatever you call that) and etc. Have you ever wondered how it really goes about in real life? Have you ever imagined yourself being the detective and solving the cases and carrying out experiments with you friends? OH WELL. This explains it all! If your answers are all positive to my questions above, you're in for some treats because i'm gonna share about some cases that i have learnt about how to solve and all. Provided that i can still remember! (; There isn't really much but really hope that you can continue reading~ I'll share a few photos too! Anyway, the course was held in Singapore Polytechnic (;

Firstly, it all happened like that. I attended this workshop with my friends and it's during the one-week September school holidays. And so this guy, Dr Goh, he's like a really important guy. Why? Because he has this year's 'O' level exam paper in his laptop! HAHAHA. Okay wait. That's not the exact reason xD It's because he's the one that checks through assessment books for they are published. And if he doesn't approve of it, the assessment books would be useless. But if he approves, PUBLISHED. Got that? Yeah. So i learnt a lot from him like cases from the past to the present. But before i share some cases that i still remember, let me share the photos first alright! ^^

Here are my classmates that went for the forensics workshop! And we're in our lab coats. HEHEHE. 

My awesome friends and I, camwhoring, after we finished our experiment. HAHAHA.

Yeah. You didn't misread it. HAHAHA. I think this solutions (if i'm not wrong) is for testing steroids or something like that. OH! I remember. It's an experiment on forensics analysis of steroid hormones using high performance liquid chromatography. WOOTS^^ We used Hydrocortisone, testosterone and progesterone for testing! (: Sounds fun huh? 

If i'm not wrong this is the end product of the testing of steroids.  See  the colour difference? I think it's because of the different hormone standards (: Interesting?  HEHE. 
And so.... That's all for the pictures part! (: So now, it's time for story telling? Hehe. Pardon me first because i'm really no that good in describing that sort of things alright and I'm afraid that i may have already forgotten about some cases. Anyways, i'll just start with my case study for that course. There are four case studies for four groups and my group is in charge of this case study on the Romanov case. It's during the time of the Russian Revolution, the royal family consisting of the Tsar, Tsarina and 4 daughters and 1 son (I think) were captured by the Bolsheviks. Many many things happen after that, like when they're executed and there are rumours that two other daughters are still alive or something and many experiments are carried out. However, during that time, they don't have all these high tech way of like using Mitochondrial DNA and so things get really confusing. You can do some research on this case and you'll realize that it links to the cartoon that everyone(almost) watches, Anasthesia. I can't shre the full story here but as much as i tried to find out more about this case, the internet is just not so reliable/accurate and it lacks many information. So i actually learnt a lot from this workshop itself! ^^

Other three cases is about Curare in Jascalevich Murder Trial, Wayne Williams Trial and O J Simpson case. As much as i want to share, I think i can't because i'm afraid that making you guys read all these is getting real boring. Maybe i'll share more next time? Like a random post. Hehehe. So let's see if you're able to catch it! :D Sigh.. I really wanna share sososososososo much but my hands are getting real tired from typing and i still have more posts to update you guys! But i'm surely gonna share some cases that happen in Singapore or even share more about what I've learnt about the O J Simpson case! Fyi, i saw really brutal and gore pictures from the O J Simpson case study. It's like really cruel!But well, I guess i have to move on to the next post! Catch up with you guys real soon with all these case sharing thing! So be sure to check out my blog again for storytelling sessions! HAHAHA xD
