Hello there. :)

Can't believe i finally started a blog after.. decades? lol! i always felt it's reali tedious to create one (which is true to a certain extent. tried changing e blogskin but to no avail. -.-) hence i jus refused to start one. hmm.. after much coaxing from friends, finally decided to create my own { tiny shed }

I guess this would be a more private and enclosed space as compared to facebook, and i hope it'd b an avenue for us to learn from each others' life experiences. wanted to name my blog 'my tiny world' but decided shed would signify a place for rest n rejuvenation. <3

Mentoring at Evergreen Bees, 9Mar 2011 was an enriching experience for me, esp since i'm gonna b a chinese teacher soon! ohmygawd~ haha. gave english tuition to a mentee named David. realised he had much difficulty reading eng words although he understood wad i was sayin. sigh. he knew his weakness was recognising long words and tried v hard by reading comprehension passages n qns aloud, w/o me requesting him to. :) Play session allowed me to understand more about this child, who has deep interest in cooking and drawing. i guess everyone is indeed talented in a way or another.

Reflection session for mentors allowed us to share w ea other the various methods we used, probs faced, n even ways to improve the childrens' learning. i raised e issue of children like David needing someone to be beside to prompt n guide e individual esp when it comes to reading texts, underlining each syllable of a word would greatly improve their reading skills. I wish him all e best be it in his academic studies, his burning passion for cooking, or his talent in art. :)

Went shopping for awhile wif Maxie at Orchard Central. ohmy. $96 cufflinks?! haha tt's reali generous of him, as always. :) i simply adored  'the black market' . designs were reali unique thr. guess i do miss e blue singlet afterall :b

Met mum at 313 for dinner~ yummy 肉搓面 frm food republic~ managed to get belt n socks frm taka (vouchers, yay!).

Ohman. my butt hurts aft sitting so long in front of lappy. HAHA!
Till we meet agn. :)
