Note,Now and Forever

The ex-pp girls! After twice failed attempt self timing,we finally succeeded!This was outside my classroom!

Back to IJ again,as usual,it was awesome.We met one hour earlier to play badminton and it was fun!Though it was a short session,playing badminton again made me realise that i really must to play it more often.I still enjoy and love badminton a lot,it gives me real joy,don't ask me why.Even after learning tennis,i still prefer badminton which according to my brother,won't be true cause to him,tennis is way funner.Anyways,after the session of badminton,we went to AVA room for the project.Today's session made my again realize it gets challenging to hype up the girls and encourage them to have passion about the project but I have learnt that in future,as a mentor,i can't bring my own tiredness to the students cause they will be affected as well.I hope to be a mentor in future,giving back what IJ has taught me to the school,to the girls.I hope i can motivate them somehow and let them know,it is possible to do well,seriously!I also hope they will be keen in the passion project.Cause at the end of the day,they will realized that it helped,at least for me it really really did.I was once like them,not knowing what are these mentors for,why are they doing this things that is a waste of time?Iin the end i realized,they are actually talking their time off their work,family,and sleep to meet us on every Saturday morning.We took them for granted,complaining that we are tired,but have we taught 'aren't they tired?'.Ii guess these thoughts only comes in when you leave IJ,cause for me, it did too.I will make sure i will be a better senior the next session and make them enjoy this great and meaningful project,to me,it is:)

Anyways,we,some mentors and ex-pp girls went for lunch!Which we took like 4 hours to decide.We ended up in Toa Payoh,how exciting right!Excitng car roller coaster was dashed by a slow car in front of us.Damn!My juniors were so eager to experience the so called thrilling car ride,according to me:)Anyways,the next time we should!I was debating whether to go home or not after lunch,but in the end,i went on a car ride/food/walk walk with vera,which was fun too!I shall stop here,this is a realy long post.
