Kangyu dont have to read this if u have read class blogggg
Sharing with you.Pls treasure your life and the time you spend with your loved ones.

Mr James Lim from NJC told my class: "It has been a turbulent month. Lots of ups and dwns. Mostly downs. But the biggest up, at least, was meeting the class at the lantern festival.One of my students nearly died recently. He was playing soccer when the ball was kicked to him and hit him at this sterum (dunno is this the spelling). He almost suffocated as he could not breathe. Some of his friends were around and they could only stare in shock..... Thank goodness one of them was trained in first aid and managed to put him in recovery position while the ambulance arrived. I wondered how I would have reacted if I were there.Another student also broke his leg around the same time. Hobbling on crutches now.A teacher sitting near me recently dislocated his shoulder real bad while teaching (yes teaching is a dangerous job) and I had to drive him to A and E. I got into a car accident the day after our class gathering. But I'm ok.Please treasure your life. "

Abi, the girl who cant shut-up replies:

"Oh, Mr Lim, it's sternum.(quite close Mr Lim)In layman, It consists of three parts, connecting the ribs from both sides, forming the thoracic wall.ribs will articulate with the sternum via costal cartilages.A "punch" on the sternum causes stress to whatever found inside the thoracic cage.

Yes! Pls appreciate your armpits too...it consists of so many "things", connecting the body to the upper limb and it is very vulnerable.Never ever get yourselves involved in a fracture.The pain may go but the functions of the limbs will be affected in one way or another.Pls dont ever take your body for granted.Never assume that you are healthy. People often have the misconception that after recovering from certain serious illness or injuries, he is almost 100% Ok! Nope, recovery takes some time unlike the normal cough and flu.

Did some readings on art therapy.Another thing that will do good to your mental health is never to be so judgemental. be it to others or yourself.The right brain doesnt really judge things.It is the left brain that does all the logical thinking and "forces" you to convince yourself something that your emotions do not really feel. For eg,the left brain reminds you of all the norms in your culture and hinders your understanding of how you really feel by directing your ill feelings towards something else(like blamming yourself/saying things like"it is wrong to be angry as nice girls dont do that"). It is only your "heart"(a.k.a right brain) that can actually dig out the root of your negative feelings. So, why verbal counselling sessions may not work that well? that's becos, when one tries to express himself through words, he goes thru the logical left brain and picks "correct" words.It is scientifically proven that we often accept info around us thru images and so, scribbling "rubbish" on a blank piece may help one to discover oneself better.

Haha...just sharing with you.Maybe you may not understand what i am talking about as i am not that good at explaining in words.I need to show you some actions.(me moving and swinging hands)Anyway, i am a half-baked potato.Give me not 2.5 yrs more but 25 more yrs!!!HAHA....till then."
Take care,Writeright

lalala i am so free(part 2)
By the way, when i hear my mom complaining, i feel blessed...it gives me the feeling that i am spending time with her leh...dont know why.Lying down and hugging her is a great feeling that i havent been doing for yrs... Making my father annoyed when i giggle at his nagging is also another blessing man....touching his balding head and making him afraid.And yes... jokes that run in the family.You know what kind of genre...leave it to your imagination.dont think too far.Spend time with your family.Then you wont have regrets.you will feel better when you work,study or volunteer.

Writeright.

Lalala I am so free
Lalala, i am slacking...this is the first school holidays that doesnt require u to do much, just minimal self revision.So, i actually picked up self-water colour painting.Tuitioning..and of course helping my brother.Yes, i do help up with house work, but My mom is always complaining that i am no conscientious enough and alert. Forget things here and there.
Always doing things like calling ppl(to get their chest width for Clinical T-shirt, hee iget to know everyone's...just joking), class voluntary work, outings and 03S10 gathering.talking about gathering. i apologise for the misunderstanding happening between Anqi and me. Erm, dont give up.We will have a chance one.Basically, my mom says " your heart is not at home! you are right that you dont intend to marry.Your husband will suffer!and of course, if u invite ur BF for dinner, dont expect me to do it for u!!!"Blah Blah, as i wash something. this is all becos, i forgot to switch off the fishtank lights and washed all the dishes except the rice pot hidden in the rice cooker.these kind of mistakes.repeating them again and again.hmm...reminds me of how i did my qns during academic sch days.

Well well, i dont mind being stuck at the stagnation stage(Erikson's eight stages of psychosocial development inpsychology).Stagnation vs generativity.It is a kind of crisis that one has to go thru in order to move on to the last stage of psychosocial development.It involves passin down to the next generation.Ok...in layman, having a family and kids.

Anyway, yup.I am doing things to keep myself occupied! haha

Anyone free...i dont think so.
Just typing. If you are interested in joining me and meeting my friends...contact me ..

Here is a plan:I am sory to say, but the truth is the old folks at Ju eng( somewhere between sengkang and Yiochukang) are like waiting for time to pass so that they can pack up one day.They feedback that nothing nice on TV.i was educated by my ex-classmate that18th would be mooncake festival.Being young and active, i's sure you will try to meet up with old friends.Why not try to shift it on 17th?now, it is up to hannah to tell the in-charge once, participation is confirmed.Of course, the feasibility of this programme is impt.It will have to be small scale.It's feasibility is also dependent onthe no of people coming.

1)Ah hui, not tao hui(beancurd in hokkien) sugg to have guess lattern riddle.Hmm... what's your take on that...my comment was, "too complicated" but still possible if we can modify it to a small grp or change the traditional way of doing it.well, a modern girl like me will have to read up.
2)Hannah thinking of mooncakes and later remebered that they are diabetic. Hannah just cant resist appreciating the beauty of food.Say,Abigail sugg tea instead.
3)Abigail has finally hop on to the same freq as artistic talent, Hannah. thinking of making latterns out of red packets or coloured paper...you know the cut strips one. got the idea from ..i cant remember.hmmm, scissors is one thing.well we can get from home.will clean it for you after that.their strength is one thing..maybe wil borrow some special scissors from our labs.then, we can bring some of them to stroll in the park behind.(need just a little on the spot decoration, simple one)

oh yes, there are some malay speaking old folks and they can be quite lonely, i cant act "understanding" their language very well.(like what i did)

what's your take on that?

MCYC
due to the influx of JC students going for study break, think they face some prob with manpower.this sept hol will be with kids.Following which will be tuitioning teenagers every mon.Mon afternoon: Sarah, WY, Hui huiThurs morning: Susan, Abi and some not confirmed.Every mon in sept, abi will be tuitioning needy teens from 4-6pm.Allin Bukit batok.Thanks so much for your respond.

Abigail.Jiamay, i think i win you liao.It is a feat to type so much.thanks.
