Finally today is my last trail before going into NS. Yesterday trail was very blood vomiting. Students were all boys. My partner took all the girls. The trail was an assessment trail. Which means the marks they get in this trail will be included in their exams marks. We must complete all the stations in 2 plus hours. There were 6 stations. Out of which 1 of them is writing a journal. Which take up a lot of time. But in the end, I managed to finish the trail with good teacher's feedback.
As for today, after knowing the problems encountered yesterday. And the students were totally opposite of yesterday's. They were too quiet. On the bus I even said this, "Can you all be noisy a bit?" But all of them still kept quiet. I enjoy today's trail as my "last" trail. Managed to finish the trail in time. No need to rush through. The teacher I'm taking is the overall in charge for this trail. I got SUPER feedback from her. I'm feeling very fulfilling in this "last" trail.
Well, time for rest. Enlisting in 5 days. Looking forward to tomorrow celebration of Shi Min's and Pei Xuan's birthday.

Hey hey hey. Finally I have things to blog again.
Starting from yesterday, I have my worst girls' school trail ever in my whole life. Bringing students from Marymount Convent Primary school to Botanic Garden. The students were very pampered and fussy. Passing down their refreshment in the morning. They rejected it. Saying that I am pampered. They don't like this kind of food. OMG!!! They do not know the bitter and sour of life. Because they were too rich and pampered. One of my friend even called them "princess" just to please them. But they were not pleased at all. Teachers also joke with us saying "wah! you still alive ar? bringing these students around, good for you" My worst girls' school trail ever. First time I treat girls like boys. Using military style of teaching. I remember also, one of the question in their booklet was to draw out what they saw. Almost all of them, when I was marking their booklet, drew me scolding them. I am like, oh well, nothing to say.
AS for today, I bring students from Eunos Primary school to Sungei Buloh. The coordinator assigned me to bring China students around. Because there were students from China coming to Singapore to have exchange program. So I have to do a bilingual (2 language, don't know spelling correct or not) bus briefing. End up, I enjoy bring them and teaching in Chinese. First time I realised that my chinese can be that good. Talking everything in chinese is FUN!!! So I have to now promote chinese through my blog.
华语 COOL!!
After the trail, went home from Sungei Buloh. Slack and be nanny (nai pa) for a while. Because the baby was sick. After that, went off to meet up with SUNNY CHARM! Presenting our future Minister of Environment: RACHEL CHEW PEI SZE
Met up and went off to Sungei Buloh AGAIN! Help her to take photos to be included inside the report of her project. Interview some visitors and teacher from MOE. As well as teachers and students from Jurongville Secondary and Hillgrove Secondary. Chit chat and walk around in Sungei Buloh. Interviewing the staff in Sungei Buloh as well. I get to know even more about Sungei Buloh now. So next time, if anyone viewing my blog wants to know more about Sungei Buloh. Feel free to approach me. But anyway, I am entering the army in 7 more days or 1 week (so too bad :P )
After that, we actually miss the Kranji Express bus. So we WALK out together. On the way, I can hear SOMEONE COMPLAINING!!! (Rachel will kill me if she sees this :P )
We got followed my 2 dogs on the way out. (quite big size) They were tempted by the MR BEAN cake Rachel bought for me. (She owe me 人情, thats why treat me) So no choice but to throw the cakes to the dog. They were happily eating those cakes. We walk quickly away. In the end, they still follow. I got no choice but to shooo them away. It works.
We were both very tired after the long walk. But there still a long way to go. We were only at the starting of Kranji reservoir. Still need to walk out. Wait for bus 925. Under the bus stop we realise the bus on come on weekends. I started to hitch for ride. Does not work as well.
Finally, we saw the bus 925 just a few meters away. WE RUN!!! Catch up with the bus and reach Kranji station and home sweet home.
It was a very fun day for me spending my time in SUNGEI BULOH.

Today I went to Sungei Buloh. For briefing. (Not being brief, but to brief people) The coordinator was sick. So I just take over for her. Just briefing 3 facilitators. Out of which, 1 of them is totally new.
Going to Sungei Buloh also help me to recap on how to do a nice bus briefing on the bus. Will not have time to blog. Skin of the blog will surely change. Tomorrow will have a girl school trail at Botanic Garden. (A place I like and dislike) Dislike the whole stretch of walking. Like the plants there.
~Counting down in 9 days~

Yesterday and today have been the same for me. Going to Toa Payoh Library to see ENV club members setting up booth. There was a EnviroFest there. Educating people how to be green.
Oh well, its only 10 more days for me. I will be going to Tekong to meet my power rangers gang. I am feeling more and more excited day by day. Carrying the responsibility to protect my love ones. My family and my friends. And also, this is the path that all boys in Singapore will go through. I am looking very forward to the day.
Counting down in 10 more days!!!
