It's been 2 years!

Two years ago, I began my teaching as a full fledge teacher. It's just been too fast. One more year of my bond remaining. After that, well, I can only pray. But what do I pray for? That is the real question to ask. 

Three years ago, I stood ready to enter Temasek Secondary School as a real greenhorn. Fresh out of NUS, and not knowing if it was the right thing to do. But as God promised, the road has been made straight, even though I made so many funny mistakes, the road was prepared and somehow things always worked out. 

Now, the next few days will really be something. 

The Singapore Sling

Took the following picture a few weeks ago. Was on a heritage trail and I had to chaperone my class leaders. The picture doesn't look like much, but it is actually one of the trickiest and demanding corners in Formula One, the Singapore Sling. 

This is where Kimi Raikonnen crashed last year, that just goes to show how tight it is. Anyway, looking at the markings on the groud, it is hard to imagine how a car can negotiate that corner at 100km/h, you have to really salute the F1 drivers. 

It's quite one thing to be able to stand in the middle of one of F1's tightest corners, the feeling is quite crazy. Anyway, I wasn't jaywalking, I took that picture at the temporary pedestrain crossing that was put up right at the double apex of the corner. However, true to Singaporean standards, even the temporary crossing looked quite permanent. 

They've already begun reinstalling the floodlights. I will probably want to watch this year's Grand Prix live. Not sure if it will be the same next year!

Good food!

It's been a while since a food post made it to the blog. Not been cooking much, need to find new recipes again. Over the weekend had a lot of family functions; on Saturday had my uncle's birthday and on Sunday my parents' anniversary. Well here's selection of the food!

Shark's fin, intersting presentation

Fois Gras... UNLIMITED!

Crazy offering of food!

Chocolate overload!

It's been that long...

Since graduating from NUS. 3 years! Time has passed so quickly, I am entering my 2nd year as a full fledged teacher already.

It's nice to meet up with the BCE guys to jam again, even though we hardly play with each other, I really enjoy playing with them. Strange though, we are always playing at weddings, but we are all unattached.

Listening to the updates about the VCF also brings some sadness to my heart. One standing com after another being closed. Like we always discussed, student ministry is only one generation away from extinction.

Today is exactly 2 years since my bond took effect. One more year and my bond would end, but I will stay on longer of course; though the desire to return to the books is there.
