Best portrayal of my 2018: constipated HAHA. All my blood, sweat and tears invested into these kiddos in the hopes that y’all will take back with you so much more in your hearts than minds. I am thankful for every single experience that I had with each and every one of you because it has taught me so much more about life and how to love it even more. All the best for your results!!! I hope every one will be smiling as widely as you are in this photo no matter what the outcomes of your exams are. 22nd Nov here we come!! #moe #psle #kiddos #classof2018 #xiaostress #gradday
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs, and still-frames in your mind
Hang them on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoo's of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

Today as I was invigilating the science paper, I couldn’t help but be so so thankful for the education system (albeit the stressful exams). Looking at the questions, I realise how much we get to learn about the wonderful ways that things work around us. Science. Math. English. Music. Art. PE. Extra activities. Excursions. Things we would probably not come across if we weren’t in school. Which then reminded me of my role as a teacher; the power I have at hand to show how learning is so much fun (even though how many watermelons Sally bought has nothing to do with me lol) and how the content is so intriguing and interesting in itself. It’s so important how we present the information to the kids, in a way that they approach knowledge with awe and excitement instead of fear, anxiety and inferiority. It’s the same for children regardless of background or race or colour ☺︎ will hence continue digressing in class so that I can share more about the world around us. But will also finish covering syllabus. Lol disclaimer in case I get sued for digressing. #inspired #teachersofinstagram #education #moe #learning #psle #thoughtoftheday
My family and I migrated to Singapore in 1993. Having to repeat grade 5 again, I did my PSLE the following year and scored 251 (Top 10% in SG). I got into my first choice secondary school. Graduated, then pursued my Bachelors degree in Melbourne, then a Masters degree from Boston, before getting married at 22.

So how does that set of number define me? It really depends on how you see success.
.
If you see success from the current job I’m doing, I totally failed. I’m a SAHM. If you see success from the clothes I wear, I also failed. I wear pajamas and home clothes, and I don’t see the need to show off. If you see success from the title in my name, I may have won you over. But none of that title prepares me for what lies ahead, neither does that 3 numbers I scored in my PSLE.
.
One thing that will bring you through life is if you hold on to God. Life is full of changes and uncertainties. You can’t blame the world for what is happening. But the way you react to things happening around you, will make you stronger and more able to handle what life brings you. Not how much you get in your PSLE.
.
I don’t influence the world. But I influence my 3 beautiful kids, and my small community. I don’t make big bucks. But I make time for my kids. I don’t wear expensive jewels, but I dress myself with strength.
.
So how does that 251 influence my life? Very little or none. Because those numbers do not define me. It doesn’t make me anything. What I am now, I owe it to God, and my faith in Him to carry me through the ups and downs of life.
.
If you’re a parent, stop forcing your child to do well academically. They may have strength somewhere else. If you’re a child, do your best! Don’t ever think the world owes you something. You work hard, stay humble, perservere, show kindness and focus on doing your responsibility. God will reward you.

Sending my love and prayers to my friends going into the PSLE week. Remember, there is life beyond those grades. ❤️ #lifebeyondgrades #morethananumber #psle #kiasumom #singaporeanmom @lifebeyondgrades
