I’m actually almost done with the entire 12×12 album. Wow! That’s almost 40 pages of layouts. I’m thinking of whether to switch to an 8×8 album next. Hmmm…

Why
God Made Little Girls

God made the world with its
towering trees

Majestic mountains and restless
seas

Then paused and said," It
needs one more thing…

Someone to laugh and dance
and sing

To walk in the woods and
gather flowers

To commune with nature in
quiet hours."

So God made little girls

With laughing eyes and bouncing
curls

With joyful hearts and infectious
smiles

Enchanting ways and feminine
wiles

And when He’d completed
the task He’d begun

He was pleased and proud
of the job He’d done

For the world, when seen
through a little girl’s eyes

Greatly resembles PARADISE.

I’m really excited coz I’m organising a scrapping session this Saturday and there are people coming!! hooray!! It’s so great to meet new people through a common hobby. Can’t wait! Will post pics!

for an update of buffets to be found in our sunny island, look here.

the next two weeks will be really exciting. jon and i will be opening our second kumon centre in Punggol.  the new centre will be opening on 12 feb. hooray!
come to think of it, i’ve been a kumon instructor for 2 years now and i’ve really learnt much from this experience. apart from seeing my students grow and improve academically, i’ve seen myself grow as well. i’ve learnt to accept each child as they are and to know that what they don’t know isn’t really their fault. i just wished sometimes singaporean parents weren’t so concerned with their children exceling academically. there’s a lot more to a child’s development which requires time and patience to build up so as perserverance and determination. i’m so glad i’m teaching a method that aims to impart just that extra edge these kids will need to get ahead in the future. i’m also thankful for jon who has been helping me out, although sometimes i don’t say it. i’m glad we’re partners in this.

journaling:

PLAY
It seems you never get TIRED of it. And why should you? I love watching YOU slide and climb, as you tumble and roll in the playground. It reminds me of when I was a CHILD. Thank you for your laughter and happiness, for it brings a smile to MY face.
