Time flies. We have just finished our school attachment just like this. And what a pity on the last day, my mentor didn't come to school and it was quite last minute I think, that he have to attend a course. Happily telling me that he will help me check out his lesson plans the day before. But to no avail, I didn't get to chat more with him on my last day. And also, I just left my message and the box of chocolates on his table. Together with a few small notes for classes that I initiated to relief. Drama on the last period where a two boys were running and chasing after another. One boy threw the other's spectacles and the casing over to the other end of the class and it hits the window and the specs flew off. It was a brand new specs. The other guy was very angry with him, but he just went off smiling and laughing. This case should be reported to the DM. I am not sure whether there is follow up, as it was already the last period of the week. Everyone came and gone off like a wind so fast where I still have alot of things to settle and say good-bye!

To me, Dunearn is another neighbourhood school but this school focuses alot on character building which I think it's good. The students here are quite friendly, and I should say, much better than my previous school. Though in every school there are bound to be students who will give alot of troubles to the school. But I see students slowly turning over a new leaf, at least for my stay there. I hope students will appreciate the little effort we have put for them. A little bit will do. Despite a little setbacks I have faced along the way, I hope this won't change my decision as a teacher in the future to come. I pretty much enjoyed the experience but I feel that I could have done more work in school.

With that concludes my working experience for this summer holidays, to think that I spend almost $1000 over within 3 days. I bought a new phone and upgrade my phone to a smartphone and data plan, costs me $428. Then I bought a camera on Sunday,$299. Some necessities and luggage on Tuesday which costs me around $270.

Talking about luggage, my mum and I went shopping yesterday at Chinatown. The bus ride was so long that I sleep like nobody's business on the bus. It has been such a long time since I last shop with my mum. I love shopping with her. and eating street delights with her along old streets. We shopped for a long time at OG. i bought a Lee cooper sneakers, a wallet (I want it to be atas to begin with), a luggage, locks, and a winter sweater. Then we went to find some sewing stuff for mum. Then went to search for eateries and finally settle down to eat fish. We then walk over to the main Chinatown area to eat desert. It was sumptuous. I totally love the "pokpok" or I shall named it "Little Balloons" of the snow ice desert. At first I said I don't want to eat it. But after that I love it so much. It's so cute but sad also, no matter how cold or hot, how much you pressed it, it still remains that round size. But when you bite it inside your mouth, it justs bursts to juice and disappear. Just like balloons when you prick it and it just disappears with a burst. Okay, then again was lost in Chinatown, but this time round there's mummy so not so bad. I finally know how to navigate inside there. It's great to walk in such a heartland place in Singapore. I totally love this part of the country. From the river, to the clarke quay to Chinatown, to the flyer. Hai... I hope I have a boyfriend to accompany me tour the places like a tourist. =(
