Hikes at White Tank Mountain, 2 Feb 08,Arizona




Went for a short talk on venomous snakes and insects by a mountain ranger, very refreshing. Then did 2 hikes with Honnie and family, one is at night which is rather romantic and the trail is lit by candles in paper bags! The other one is the waterfall hike, though the waterfall is not that fantastic though. The campfire is nice too, accompanied by a soothing voice of a cowboy singer with his guitar, free marshmallows too skewed and bbq over the campfire. First ride on a hay ride pulled by a truck too.

Today end of 1st regatta @ CSC for the year. Know wat..heard parents asking how come St hildas so on the ball, so organised...got extra coach ... hate that woman.

People like Andrew & Ryan Lo also got into National team using their own ingenuity and hardwork + determination. School doesnt have fabulous extra coaches for them, they also excel. Its whether how smart your children is... You see Dionsius was same rank as a P3 TNS sailor at the end of yesterday's result even when he switched from NOSS to SAFYC w a great coach.

Wasted my Sunday sleep time n the TNS parent including Vivien reflects that other people's/ school ( u know who la) are more organised.. I told her that I m not LSC teacher. I wld rather not be in sailing then to opt for lighter teaching load. N she said I demoralise ...
In the 1st place, dint she realise that she has demoralised me when I have always tried to make progress... Next yr let Siti takes over. She thinks Siti is good. N I also think that its good to have new teacher w new initiatives. Hopefully my transfer will be approved n I dont have to listen to all these things again. And we shall see if Francis assumption that all the brown skin are more relaxed is true or otherwise.

Vivien is comparing too much even when i was there at SAFYC last year, she also said alot. Do you mean the transfer can be done already? It is only Feb leh. Girl, do your best and if your conscience is clear, don't be depressed, talk to those who support you, no one is perfect lah, tell them if they were to mention again, otherwise walk away, they don't deserve even your listening. I am also encountering problems with my students here recently and i have to deal with it myself cos i got no backup now at all! Still, i told myself i have tried my best, can't win everyone cos I am no Saint! So are you! We just have to chuck all these unhappy moments aside and move on...Let's 加油!加油!加油!
