When to shop for a new TV cos my old one died on me. I thought that its going to be an easy trip but turned out to be very tiring. When round Suntec and then to Funan. Now my legs are killing me. The TVs are expensive and doesn't fit my taste. Will wait for the last IT show to get it then. Going back to those days without a TV. Will be fun.....

I'm very sad today. My friend passed away this morning. Went to see her last night, she look really in a bad shape. Said a prayer, God take care of her please.

Today I want to rest, the rehearsal really getting in me, so tired after it. Well I hope everything goes smoothly on that day. The reports can wait I guess......

Peer pressure - what is it really? When I was young, my mother always like to compare me with my neighbours and friends. Most of the time I'm at the lower end of the scale. I really hated it. I never ask to be compared but she kept doing it right infront of me. Hence I swear, I will never compete with anyone except myself. That's when I really felt relaxed. Thinking of how others will out do u or how they want to see u as a person is very tiring. Many a times we cannot see thru the other person, be it our friends or even family, so our brains play trick on us making us think that so and so is out to backstab me, talk bad about me, want to beat me in my results. Really, peer pressure comes from yourself. If u think that person is going to compete with u then it becomes true and u keep forcing yourself to out do that person and when you don't u feel disappointed. It is really how you feel about yourself that matters, have confident about yourself. The next time someone say, &

Well, I like to think that my way of teaching is different from most other teachers. I like to add in fun, and most of all do things differently from the norm. Who would have thought of using Warhead sweets to teach the 7 things a living organism can do? Well, yours truly did that. Who would act as a harry porter wannabe when teaching? Well, right again, I did that. I love to do things others would never dare do and that's what makes me different and finally I don't really care how the other teachers look at my way of teaching because I think it works for me. That's yours truly, GTLeon.

I like songs with meaningful lyrics, this is one of my latest fave. 陈奕迅爱情转移 电影爱情呼叫转移主题曲 作曲:christopher chak 作词:林夕 编曲:陈珀 c.y.kong 徘徊过多少橱窗 住过多少旅馆 才会觉得分离也并不冤枉 感情是用来浏览 还是用来珍藏 好让日子天天都过的难忘 熬过了多少患难 湿了多少眼眶 才能知道伤感是爱的遗产 流浪几张双人床 换过几次信仰 才让戒指义无反顾的交换 把一个人的温暖转移到另一个的胸膛 让上次犯的错反省出梦想 每个人都是这样 享受过提心吊胆 才拒绝做爱情待罪的羔羊 回忆是抓不到的月光握紧就变黑暗 等虚假的背景消失于晴朗 阳光在身上流转 等所有业障被原谅 爱情不停站想开往地老天荒需要多勇敢 烛光照亮了晚餐 照不出个答案 恋爱不是温馨的请客吃饭 床单上铺满花瓣 拥抱让它成长 太拥挤就开到了别的土壤 感情需要人接班 接近换来期望 期望带来失望的恶性循环 短暂的总是浪漫 漫长总会不满 烧完美好青春换一个老伴 把一个人的温暖转移到另一个的胸膛 让上次犯的错反省出梦想 每个人都是这样 享受过提心吊胆 才拒绝做爱情待罪的羔羊 回忆是抓不到的月光握紧就变黑暗 等虚假的背景消失于晴朗 阳光在身上流转 等所有业障被原谅 爱情不停站想开往地老天荒需要多勇敢 把一个人的温暖转移到另一个的胸膛 让上次犯的错反省出梦想 每个人都是这样 享受过提心吊胆 才拒绝做爱情待罪的羔羊 回忆是抓不到的月光 握紧就变黑暗 等虚假的背景消失于晴朗 阳光在身上流转等所有业障被原谅 爱情不停站想开往地老天荒需要多勇敢 你不要失望荡气回肠是为了最美的平凡

Well, call it fate or Whatever, she sms me yesterday or this morning after my club beat the hell out of Liverpool. She sms to congratulate me. Well, what timing, I was just thinking about her in the morning and she sms me at night. Tried to ask her out, hopefully she will agree. This has really been a great week.

This one was given to me by Tricia. Miss her alot although she did come back to visit but I always felt that it was my responsibility for not being able to help her during her difficult times. Now I think she is in a world of her own, lost in the hurt around her. How I wish I could offer her some form of help but then would I be up to the task? I don't know and would never know. Take care Tricia, bf is not the only thing in this world you ever have......

Got my phone chain today with my name on it. Wah its nice man, really like it alot. Reminds me of Tricia when she gave me hers, but this one is smaller and got my name on it. Even reminded me of my ex gf's gift, the little dragonfly I had on me like an amulet. Yea those were the days, but really miss those things.

Today is another busy day. Rushing like mad with all the scripts and marks. This is the time I really wish I was back teaching P6. Now the P6 teachers are so relax, not like us. Well, there is always 2 sides to a coin. Can't have everything working for you. OK, got a wish list of things to complete and hopefully it will be smooth sailing till year end.

I was trying to update some information on my website that I realised I have completely forgotten the password and user ID to login. Think I'm really getting old, luck I still have my old computer with me and I have back up the server password. If not I will have to do a complete overhaul and that would be massive. Anyway if you want to take a look at the site here's the add: http://www.gtleon.net/

Well, I was really thankful I completed my job for today. I actually wanted to watch a show alone but I changed my mind at the last minute and went home instead. Still many things waiting to be done and resolve but I can take my time as they are not urgent and can wait. For me, now is the time to relax after the highs and lows of watching my students results go free fall like the stock market crash. Lost in time......no a bad idea, wish I could do that sometime......

Not a bad start to my holiday. Two things to note, first my post ended up in the news (I cant say much because I am not to talk to the media) second my team won. Happy that it ended this way a great way to start the week. What are my plans for this week? Well guess first is to complete my work and maybe I will catch a show sometime in the middle of the week. Sat is Sherlene's first acting performance, wonder how would it turn out? Hahaha......looking forward.

Finally over. A pity that they never learn their lesson. Kept wanting to stay wake but cannot make it till morning. Told them so many times but they refused to listen. Well serve them right, but poor me had to stay awake the whole night to keep watch over them. I know they would not listen to me because I have been talking much sense into them from the limited time I spent with them so I know for sure they would not heed my instruction and follow strictly to me commands. Well, when will they ever learn? Came back and sleep for dunno how long and that I'm going to sleep somemore once I get to bathe......oh how I miss my lovely bed and pillow. Yawn......goodnite.

Today did nothing much but play Maple and mark a little composition script. My new cam looks and feel great. I will use it for the chalet then my girl's first performance. It should look great.

Hai, student say my blog skin too old ask me to change, dunno change to wat also no idea, so anyhow lah. Just got a new video cam, super man very small and light. Easy to carry around in my bag. Now I can do all my youtube video on this cam. I love it. And to tell u that its a steal, I got it at less than 50% of the price. Wow cool man!

Very boring day, not much accomplished. Tomorrow I wan to try botak jones heehee. Hope it will not disappoint. The rest very much the same, met some old friends and made some new ones. Hope the next three days will be more fun. Tomorrow going to check out Bedok central. Yea check it out babe. Also up my level for GTomron to lvl 17 all by myself. Compare to my bootes one still far behind but never really train a warrior b4 so its good to try.

Bought a new wii mote charger and repaired my psp. But I couldn't find the game KABOOKI anywhere. I wanted to get the game so that we can play it during the chalet. Will try my luck when I go marking in bedok. Wish me luck.

Well I was looking at my picture folder when I came across this picture which I dl sometime ago (many years ago infact) Its the logo of the Laughing Man. He is a villian in a Japanese anime called ghost in the shell. I actually like this villian, he is a person who looks at things at a different angle, different from most people. Some people think he is crazy but I like his perspective, often laughing at things people do normally. Like watching TV or an opera show, chatting on the cellphone and all. Hardly believe that I would actually fancy a villian. Well in truth, heroes and villians are very much alike. Heroes do things normal people wouldn't do, so does the villian.

Just upgraded my PSP to a higher firmware to play a newer game. But cos my analog stick is out of order it was quite painful to play. Need to get it replace and buy a new headset then she will be ready to go......wah oh!

I didn't want to dig it up again, but I do feel the need to make things clear cos I really care about the person reading this. I once had a gf, we got together before she could break off with her bf and the best part was I didn't even know that she had a bf then. We got really close and the bf found out about us. He told her parents about us and the parents sided with the bf (unknowing that the bf had physically abused her many times, I knew about it from the scars on her hands and back). Her family member all thought that the good guy was her bf and she was cheating on him. But the fact was she wanted a break but the bf kept on pestering her. Finally she left me becos she couldn't stand the pressure from her family. You see, caring too much about how others feel and letting others take control of your life is not a good thing. You live your own life and what you do should only be your choice and not becos of somebody else . Many a times we get angry becos somebody else d

Sleep pattern all gone hay wire, need to catch my sleep again. I hope it would be better next week. I didn't really take the sleeping pills cos I didn't want to get addicted. Need to clear my head and get some sleep.

Well, I was caught by surprise when I lost my 2nd wife xiao hui in the car accident exactly one year ago. I loved her as she was still just a year old or so. I missed her everytime I see the same make on the road. But it did give me some ideas on what my future plans are, I will buy a new house in Pasir Ris and maybe buy a new wife (car). I actually wanted to go England alone next year but that will have to wait becos I need alot of cash for my new house. For the lost of xiao hui, I decided to punish myself by not getting a car till the 2 years penalty is up. Thank you xiao hui, your sacrifice did make some life changing decision to me and my family. I look forward to making my new plans come true. Forever in my memories, xiao hui.

Had insomnia hence did not go to school. Laid on my bed for a long time but couldn't get any sleep at all. By the time I fall asleep I had to wake up. Really bad day but I guess that's becos I had too many things on my mind. Oh God help me clear my tots.

Someone asked me why I support the football club that is at the bottom of the standings. I replied,"Would your parents stop loving you when u come in last in your exams?" Yes, our parents loved us for who we are not what we can do. Same for my loyalty to my fave football club. No matter what happens to them they will always have my support. Come on you Spurs!

Another 10km down the pocket. Yes, I'm planning to run 21km half marathon in the coming Singapore Marathon in Dec. Watch out for me as I conquer yet another milestone in my life. I plan to retire from running at 42 years old on my 42km Marathon run then. Hee hee, still a long way to go!

Specially went to catch this movie alone. This is the first time I ever watch a movie alone and boy did I made the right choice. The whole plot and characters and actors were fantastic. I really enjoy every minute of the movie. Must admit its alittle dark but thats what batman movie is about. The inner struggle of the characters. I say well done to Christopher Nolan and Heath Ledger. Even if I have to watch it again alone I would do it. Best movie for a long while.

Finally did some justice to my results as I clock another Sliver apart from last year's pass I felt that I could have done more but all for that STB machine. But I did conquer it this time and I am finally able to life my head high achieving my Sliver award and $200 in the bag. Haha, great day, great effort.

Just completed the event today and it was fun running at night. Although we had a tough day playing push ball and rafting, we still have enough energy to complete the race.

Recently there has been alot of ranting about the teaching profession, exams and pressure on students (not that its any less on other days just that its kind of the off season after exams kind of stuff). Well to me teaching is about heart work. There are alot of teachers out there who thinks that they can get away from duties and responsibilities by passing on to others (etc. parents, students and even the tutors). However, there is really no way we can determine whether a teacher is good cause there is really no way to measure the results(too many external contributors). The only way is to ask our own conscience. Are we doing the things we ought to do or are we just going through the motion because that's what is required? Ask your heart, I know my answer do you know yours? Do what you think its right because you answer to yourself.

English Footy is over and now its time for EURO 2008. Luckily Beijing games is in August if not will not know which game to watch. Heehee. The team I am rooting for is Croatia, strange choice u may say but I think its got loads of potential since winning against England in the qualifier. Hope they can prove that my sense of judgement is spot on.

Finally bought a Wii set to play. Its a second hand set that cost me $500 bucks coupled with the good fortune of the author, the seller let go of his extra Wii mote with Wii play at $50 bucks. That to me was a steal, heehee. Anyway, I played using the projector screen and man it was awesome. Big screen and wireless control really make the best of the Wii system. I played till I was sweating allover. Simply love it, now its to find someone to play with......heehee

Really had the pleasure of helping Michael in his maiden classroom teaching experience. Really hoped that he had gain much from this experience and put them to good use. I felt recharged from this experience of helping him and I guess the reward for me could have far exceeded what I had expected. Mentoring....hmm.....not a bad idea....heehee.

Well, I found out that we can actually borrow games from the national library. Yes you heard me correctly I mean PC games from the library and they are not those old games but pretty new ones. Of course you can't get the latest but its good enough, best of all its free! After u get the game play it and return. Just hope they get more games that I like....heehee. I love the library!
