hi allbeen through a refreshing and exciting 1st week of school reopening... many different experience i nv had as a JC student...and i must say it has been pretty well for me so far... :) hahaa.. i should have come poly all along man!...keke... like that flexibility and how the lessons are conduct..though the travel distance is super long ( i've have now taken that to be my sleeping time!) ... i like the school too! heehee..so you might got it right - today's topic will be about my new school...
NEW EZLINK CARD AT LAST!
hahaha... dunno y... that got me quite excited ( i think i abit bo liao).. having been forced to use my adult ezlink for more 1 year liao.... it just feels good to hear "de de" (student card sound) than the sound "de" (adult card sound) when you board the bus... ahhaha... when i got my ezlink & immediately went to buy student pass... the 1st bus i board gave the "de de" sound... and dunno y...just feel kinda of touched at that of moment... i was thinking.." finally i am using a student pass again..." and i can also finally dun need to bother scurrying for my ezlink in my forever messy bag when i am getting off the bus... no need to calculate and worry that i wun haf enough amt money in my ezlink becos i forgot to top up... so cool... so happy... so glad.. hahaha... i guess i am really mad too... keke
NEW NEW EVERYTHING NEW
From the beginnning of school marks a brand new experience...make alot of new friends, get to know new school adminstrative system, explore new boundaries, and most impt thing for me - find new and gd food!!
(i) NEW friends
definitely new people and unfamiliar faces... though i saw one of my ex-ct student in the class... having to know the rest of the new pple is really what is happening for me in the short 4 days... in fact there are so many of them that i really cannot remember each and every of their names... always mixing them up... but i am thankful that i have manage to find afew pple that i can mix well...we even meet up to go classes & lunch together... just pray that we may continue to extend this friendship and know one another better... :)
(ii) NEW system - MEL
Have always been seeing wanjun and the rest doing their online bidding and see NUS timetable and stuff so not super unfamiliar about it.. but having to actually replying to posts that was post by my lectucer... having to log on to this "blackboard" called MEL everyday to check for new files to dl.. new annoucements to read is something i think that is very new.. yet i think its becoming more and more part and parcel of my daily routine.. i will now naturally just go and check for new posts & stuffs..( which like always have)... that diffcult id & password is also now memorised... a good start... and i am glad.. things are starting to get on track :)
(ii) New environment
Hahaha.. just a side note...my school has nice bookshop... i know that maybe the other uni ones are better... but to me...this is good enough... hahaha... got all the sweets i like.... (tired? just go and grab something sweets to wake up!) got things that are sufficient and neccessary... to me.. this is more than nice.. but rather priviledged... :) ... as things are nicely done for you...The Library is another cool spot to be in.. let me tell you... i think it can be compared to the normal national library lor... ( but maybe not the one @ bugis la).. like the design of the library... we even got lots of place for you to listen to music... or even borrow dvds to watch there just to take a short break... cafe is there definitely.. and the books there are good! ( wanted to borrow books.. but card not ready.. sob) heehee...i think the library is the spot i like most so far... and i am really thank to God for allowing me to be here .. :)
TEACHERS & LESSONS
So far lessons has been pretty nice... there's afew modules that i particularly like - translation lesson and drama & theatre studies.. though it seemed pretty challenging for both courses.... but i think the modules itself is attractive enough. Lessons time have been pretty fun... esp for drama and theatre.. 1st time attend lesson w/o using table and you dun even need to write...we learn through games and playing... issnt that cool... haahha.. but project that time i think very xiong liao... lots of readings to do... here i am having to hand up a assignment that has a 25% weightable by 5 weeks time!....Analysis Scripts... heehee... i dunno how is it going to be like... but looking forward to more discovery... On the whole... i think the CHS really is nice... i have finally made the right choice..!
In conclusion,... i am rather positive about my life in poly... nice pple... nice sch.. nice module ( but stressful too!)..there many things i am looking forward to... (future modules... going to Zhe Jiang during year 3.. interacting with pple in sch...blah blah...) and i am also thankful that God put me in this place..and i ask that he will continue to keep me going in the rest of my poly life.. that i will truly live for His Glory...
P.S. Recieved a good new... NP has managed to come into an agreement with NUS that if we were to do well... we will be able proceed direct to yr 2 NUS chinese faculty after poly... issnt it that cool!..besides that... there's also a hope of collaborating with NTU too... so happy just to think about it.. thank God! :)
Love ,
Von

An Extraordinary Tuition
Been sick these few days...flu slight cough and a bad throat again ( this disease seem to love me lots ~_~"" )... today is tiring.. as i gotta to meet a few pple at in a row... and some other reasons... was pretty dragging myself to teach tuition... but something have made this tuition pretty sad yet touching....
Incident 1 :
On the course of our tuition... was asking Byran ( the boy i was teaching) whats the reason for cancelling tuition on Tue night... he was reluctant to tell me at 1st..and i left it as it was... but however due to part our conversation.. he revealed that the reason for the cancellation was becos his granddad had passed away... and he told me he was pretty sad and express his anger becos his bro seemed nonchalant abt the whole matter...on the course of our conversation... the question of where his granddad would be popped up... his granddad is a non-christian, and this little boy told me he wants to be a christian, as he is exposed to christianity in sch thro BB...as he bring up his eyes expectantly at me, asking me " you mean my grandpa wun be going to heaven? all non-christians dun go heaven?" i almost couldn't mouth out the word "yes"... How to? when a child looks up at you trying to find hope? i replied him.." maybe...... likely.....yr grandpa may not be going there..." and skip topic by moving back to lesson... But i am sure that this is a topic i want to talk to him about... Pray for me.. for opportunities to speak to him again over this issue... that i will be clear to bring up this topic him again.. and also pray a young heart like him... that may this incident be a one that will cause him to think more about life...
Incident 2 :
This is actually a small interlude... but decided to blog it too... was driven home by Bryan's dad today... was quite sick today...and Bryan went to tell his dad to fetch me home... and he agreeded readily.. i was really touched for this family's concern and warmth... where on earth have you see parents fetching tutor home?....yet they don't seemed to mind at all... i really thank God for giving me sure a wonderful family to work with... i feel like i am teaching a relative rather than a total stranger...touched.... dunno y... maybe i am just feeling sick... and a touch of consideration just warmed my heart ba... but whatever is the case... just glad.... that God places me in such a nice family... :)
ok... time ot dozed off.... i didnt expect such a long entry... but understanding myself.. ( being so naggy)... this might not be too surprising either... ahaha... what ever is the case... may all of you have a great weekend ahead... aja aja fighting~~!!!
Love ,

Come to think of it.... creation of music is really one of the best entertainment ever... and it was recorded of its existent from as far as the book of genesis (OT) where Jubal was the inventor of musical instruments (Gen. 4:21). God really bring in an great and creative entertainment to the world! :) " glory glory glory .. to the King!....."

中学的校园的生活还是最令人怀念。。。星期六和 Sarah 到了维多利亚音乐厅去看了 DHS 华乐团的演出，
在观赏的同时，脑子里不禁浮现出以往在中正 CO 时的日子。
大家一起到 Perth表演时候，被张老师骂得半死，但还是疯狂的玩乐。。。
大家一起为 SYF 练习得不知白天与黑夜，只知道几乎每天不到晚上7点，我们都别想到家。。。
大家一直被黄老师批评音不准，动作不够大，二胡拉得象在杀鸡，锁呐天天在走音。。。
大家为了Millenium Concert练了不知多少个月，那个<<龙的传奇>>，还真是非比寻常的难。。。
大家一起流的汗，撒的泪，为了一场又一场的演出努力着。。。
大家，大家，大家，好多的回忆是大家一起走过来的。。。
煞那间，我有鼓冲动，想从橱柜里拿出那4年来都未曾拉过的二胡。。。
在二胡齐奏 (赛马) 开始响起的同时，熟悉的旋律令我心中有股莫名的激动。。。
我也曾经这样走过。。。
辛苦拼博的日子，回想起来却是无限的甜蜜。。。。
P.S.
无限的回忆，只能流藏在心坎中，
无法说出口，心中有不尽的感动，
美丽的往事，让人仿佛回到旧梦，
不知怎么说，但早已尽在不言中。
Love,
von
