Rant of the day: Fuck you biatch!!!

Ok. Back-dated stuff again. Mothers' Day was long over lah but there's some photos I think I should share.

Bought a Lychee Martini cake from Pine Garden. The cake is nice but somehow, it lacks the taste of Martini. Tasted more like lychee cake.

In the actual day, mum insisted to treat all of us to Dian Xiao Er for lunch. We sort of over ordered. Too many dishes!!! We never learn. Haha. Anyway, the food was fantastic. Love the herbal roast duck and the soup.

As for this week, it's filled with activities from the Public Service Week's Learning Journey.

Registered for 4 activities but due to some internal issues, I only managed to attend 2. The other 2 activities that was suppose to happen in next couple of weeks were sort of "voluntarily" cancelled.

The first activity was at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. It's my first time to Sungei Buloh and I'm really really excited. But very early lah. Have to wake up earlier than the usual timing to work!

It's supposed to be a bird-watching paradise but we sort of missed the season. Nevertheless, we managed to spot an over-stayer. Haha.

This is the cutest thing you can spot at the reserve -- mudskippers! Those in photos are the World's largest mudskipper species -- the Giant Mudskipper. So cute right? Awwwwww...

You get to see this EVERYWHERE at the visitor centre and they roam freely around. Monitor lizards. They are roughly about 1m to 2m. This is the closest I can get to one of it while on our way back from the walk.

The other activity I went yesterday was at Northlight School. After visiting the school, than I realised how fortunate I am for not being at the bottom 5% of the society. And also, fortunate for those kids for having the school to take care of them.

The school was setup to assist children who didn't managed to clear their PSLE and to help them set a path leading to light. Tell them, failing the PSLE is not the end of the World. They still have an opportunity to move forward.

The Principal's talk was sort of an alarm clock to wake people up. There is no stupid people. It's just that they have not found the key to open up their intelligence. So the school attempts to find the key to open up the light in these students who were deemed "stupid" by their parents, peers and the society because they cannot pass the PSLE.

These are arts done by the students. Amazing isn't it? I can't do these... Can you? If we can't, are we stupid? You will prolly says art is not your forte am I right? So, why can't we use the same manner for these kids? Academic textbooks are just not their forte...

To the teachers and Principal of Northlight School, I salute you. It's a job I cannot and dare not do.
