tiny moments matter

It's been heaps to write about lately! It's strange when things kick in, everything falls in at the same time!

Brooke Fraser's CD has been playing at the fronk desk of my work place!! I handed the CD over to my colleague for him to listen. I truly believe that wherever God has placed you at, He has got you there for a reason. There's heaps of opportunities to be a blessing and be that light God wants you to be.

The one thing that I'm learning about my job is that we've gotta really learn to embrace every single moment at where we are. There are times when we only have got that small amount of time to do something about it. Love when it's hard, work as if it's the last day of work.

Being a teacher is tough work. I held back my tears today. Goodbye, Marco P.

what a weekend!

It's been such a long time ever since I've got my weekends OFF to chill out. Friday night coffee catch ups with livia was terrific, our mini Docklands trip + fishandchips + additional 4 callamaris was rather exciting, quest hunt for a guitar at allan's music , and dinner with my upcoming neighbours just around the corner!!! (which i'm looking forward for more dinner knockouts and television nights on the sofa! )

it's awesome to have good friends living so close to you!
welcome to the neighbourhood.

some things will never change

It's different without him.
I don't need any reason..It's JUST different.
Not being able to walk with him across the room and have our conversation in between..kinda miss that a lil. *sigh

expectations

I sometimes wished that parents would take some time to listen, take notice and learn more about their kids. It's sad when they placed their own expectations on them, wanting their kids to be this and that..if only they could see how potential their kids really are in other areas.
I sometimes wondered if any of those conversations that I've been having with my students really made any sense. I do struggle in finding the right words to say. It's hard to make them understand the whole point of it if all they could see is this tiny little world.

Maybe i've not been a parent myself, and perhaps if I do happen to be one day, i might have those expectations on them. But I pray that God will give me the wisdom to train and develop those gifts and treasures that He has given my kids.

*Proverbs 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

*seriously, i think some parents do need a wake-up call.

this post is dedicated to my awesome lifegroup!
thank you so much for all the love!!! haha..
One of the best preezie i've ever received! :)
love the gift.

skoool konsert

My first ever skool konsert.
The experience was nerve wrecking. Having to watch my kids playing at the concert was rather interesting though. One sentence, you cannot define someone's performance in that 2 hour slot. Being able to sit through those lessons, watched their progress, all the hard work and sweat...they were all close to perfection.

Being a teacher who is proud of her/his students' achievements doesn't take place in an event. It should have already started in that 30 minutes lesson..

I Stood up with A smile.

above and beyond

tiny moments are precious...

My top tiny moments in the past 2 weeks:

when lil Sarah told me
that she has got something
very special that she has made for me
during the week.

Morrison's (my cousin's nephew) showed me
his new kung fu moves.

i had a yummy chocolate cake with Connor at church.

jypsie said she really enjoyed her lesson.

james' eyes sparkled when I handed him the piano score I have written for him.
