It has been a long time since I last blog about LIFE!!! It has been almost 2 yr since I last blog... NIE was an exciting yet tiring journey of my teaching career. Learn new stuffs and also find some stuffs redundant yet we have no choice but to follow suit as it was part of our assignment criteria.
Not just that about teaching without playing. I was given a chance to stay in NTU Hall 10 and make new friends that supported me all the way through my studies for the past two years... And I am kinda sad that I will be leaving them soon for my final practicum and wun had another chance to see them again till 3 months later... They are an enjoyable group of ppl.
During my first year, Jackson the PHD of Mahjong Academy had recruited me endless time to keep me entertained. James, the IT savvy and Design Guru, a very good fren for jokes was my good pal too... These two were the major dependent during my first yr of stay, but not forgetting the "Sing and Strum" ppl who I happen to join to participate in singing... I get to know ppl like Joy, Jonathan, Cornelius, Johnston, Guan Ying, Willy and more to name... These are the First yr of stay in Hall 10.
During the start of second year, I join the Freshmen Orientation Camp to bond with the Yr 1. I was nominated as the fake freshie to bond with them and through that, I make more friends in Hall 10 where I become the Nai Ba of Hall 10 Blk 52... My most beloved daughter Debbie was really someone I look up to due to her commitment and love for the Blk.... Next is Jonathan Ng, he was a great man of God, he is a great athlete, wise and witty, someone you can depend on in need... Not forgetting my two roomie son, Jasper and Aldis whom willing to allow me to share room with them as I din manage to get into hall... They are the nicest Uncle and Aunty to me... Accommodating my needs.... I was also given a chance to Chair Bike X 2011 for Hall 10, and had a great team of helpers from my beloved blk 52, ppl like Jonathan Ng, Jasper, Aldis, Patrick, Junio, Gerald, Kin Shun, Willy, Liyao, James and Jackson... Also support from my blk ppl like Calister, Guo Jie, Dean, Bo Yuan, Melvin though he not from my blk and also Blk 49, whom send the most participant for my event....
Reflecting back, my stay in Hall 10 was a memorable one where some of my course mates also drop by my hall to study tgt for exams, do projects discussion, held meeting there... I will definitely miss Hall 10, my second home...
Moving back to NIE... I was study basically English, Mathematics and Social Studies for my two yr course... Learn all the necessary stuff from various tutor that guide me and lead me on till now... Where I love some and hate some... It is quite typical for students to love some of their tutors and hate some so there is no need to feel offended or appreciated... But I still wan to thanks them for equipping me the skills... if not for them, I wun be able to appreciate the true meaning of how teachers can really shape the future generation to come... It is becuz of teachers, it create a new world of imagination and creativity for the modern society...
I was not juz a normal student in NIE who juz mug to get good grade... I joined a CCA club in NIE called Club Jeux. The functions of this club is to equip teachers to use board games to teach in class, to make lesson more meaningful and engaging... I join in as a secretary and later promoted to be the chairperson of the club... With limited manpower, I had done my very best to keep it going... Hope my successor can also do the same after me and bring it into a greater heights... Love Club Jeux...
Well, regards to my personal life, I will mention in the next post to come as this post is to reflect my studies life for the past two years.... Do take a look out in the next few days... :) Signing off in NIE campus...
