You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

I think I know the results of this test way before I even did it. You know what is so funny is that people who recently know me do not believe that I AM an introvert. It is to their belief that introverts will never be able to speak publicly and they will not be a good coversationalist. I went home and reflect why is it that people do not believe me. I soon realised that the years of the Britt education has changed me internally, in more ways that I realised and it is reflected in the words I use, how I use it and when I use it. I am proud of myself for not being afraid the make the necassary changes that I needed to make, and I am even prouder of myself for continually changing myself for the better. It takes courage to get out of the comfort bubble that we sometimes build for ourselves to protect ourselves from the world. Even though I think it is ok to have that protective bubble around you, having it permanently will only hinder you from personal growth.
I am so ecastatic because I am typing via my notebook just issued to me by the school! There were some problems with the wireless at home but thank goodness my brother suddenly remembered the network key and now I can be online no matter how late it is! Yay! (especially to those on my msn contact list!) However I am not going to be bringing it home everyday, probably only the weekends.
So the one week break is finally here. Yay! I know people say go have your deserved break but I would prefer to have delayed gratification. I have run out of worksheets for the boys and now I have to work on their work scheme for term 2. I must say that some of them are progressing at an even faster rate than expected and if I do not get the worksheets done by the end of the week, they would have no worksheets to do when they come back! Still, this is going to be a hectic week and I will be the most relieved person when the CPD session is over after tmr!
Friday's PASE was awesome as always. We were celebrating Chon's birthday and he turned 51 years young on that day. It was such a coincidence because my father just celebrated his 52nd birthday the day before. Maybe not really a celebration. Remember, I mentioned that we do not really celebrate birthdays? Yup, it was like that, quiet and almost forgotten. What a contrast it was compared to Chon's! I witnessed his birthday celebration and even though there was the delicious cake and the yummy bubur chacha, I felt that the most touching gift was in fact being there celebrating it with the Britt Team, half of which, were his own team. I was also extremely touched with ImNeo's words and I felt my eyes suprisingly wet. If I were Chon, or ImNeo of even Yi Lin, standing there, I would not have been able to stop the unexpected tears. It was simply beautiful, and the best part of it is that it is real.
If I ever get to achieve that with my own family one day, I know that my existence on this Earth is not wasted as I have taught my family the true meaning of love.
I was so paiseh and I was trying hard to wipe away my wet eyes before anyone could see me and as I looked around, I saw that dear Dolly was already wiping her eyes. It is good to know that I am not alone!
So there I was, seeing the celebration of birthdays of 2 different men, one my father, and the other my team mate. I felt a little bit sad for my father for the quietness on his birthday but I felt God wanted me to see 2 different pictures. This is so that I can decide on the kind of celebration that I want for me in the future.
