It is coming!

Just about one more week to go!

After so many months, this school year is coming to an end. Time flies so quickly that our wonderful summer holiday is waiting for us.

But before we think about what to do in the summer holiday, students, you need to study hard for the final examination.

We, humans, are different from animals since we have knowledge and wisdom. We can't just sleep or play all the time. It is time to revise what we have learnt from lessons so that we can make better contribution to society in the future.

Clever or Stupid?

What has happened recently makes me have the following ideas:

1. Some "clever" people who are already rich try to get even more money by using some quick ways.

2. When other people know it, the "clever" people say something or do something to make other people think they are doing a "right" thing.

3. A long time ago, a "stupid" person who did not do anything wrong gave up (phrasal verb. 放棄) his life because he loved other people.

4. Many other "stupid" people do a lot of "stupid" things to thank the "stupid" person. They give up a lot of time, money and other things, for example.

Now, you have a choice. A long holiday is coming. You can choose to follow those "stupid" people and think about the "stupid" person's action, or like other "clever" people, make use of the holiday "cleverly" and do something to benefit (v. 使...得到益處) yourself. What is your choice?

Thanks for giving me a special lunchtime!

Thanks to all this year's 3D and last year's 2D students for giving me a memorable lunchtime.

Fatcha, thanks for leading us to have a prayer. Hope that you will do it more in the future.

Natalie, thanks for giving me the small cake. I guess you bought it because I don't think you can make a delicious cake. Ha ha!

Coffee and Becky, thanks for your planning and walking a long way to buy the birthday cake. I believe you felt very hot and tired when you came back. Thanks a lot!

Roy, thanks for showing your interesting and fantastic dances. But I will not upload the video clips because I don't want everyone to spend lots of time watching the great video clips before UT...

3D students, thanks for celebrating birthday with me. I sometimes scold or punish you, but you still like my English lessons. Thanks for your understanding!!!

2D students, thanks for remembering me. It is a very happy thing to see you again, especially if I do not teach you this year!!!

Everybody, thanks again. May God bless you. This handsome teacher will always support you...

She is back again!

Finally, she is back to home again!

Last Monday, she decided to see a new doctor since she still felt the pain. We both wanted to have a real ending to the "painful" experience since 5 Nov, which was the first day she was admitted to the hospital.

Then, the 4-week stay in hospital was miserable and memorable. But, at the end, she felt much better after ups and downs.

Believing that it was going to be even better after more rest at home, we decided to end the long stay in hospital.

However, it was not the case.

So last Monday, we made a good decision though we did not hope to do that at the beginning of the story - have a surgery.

Luckily, her second doctor is a well-known expert in the field. The 1.5-hour surgery was successful. The only bad thing is - she should have seen him earlier!

Yesterday, she could walk and sit without any old pain, except the new pain of the wound. At night, she returned home and we could "Gwall Dong" (have the winter festival) together.

Thanks God! Tomorrow we can really have a quiet and peaceful Christmas Eve.

Cool? Yes, we are.

Do you think it is possible that some day we have to turn on air-conditioners every month, from January to December?

Today is the first school day in November. Temperature dropped a lot. In the morning, I felt a bit cool but I didn’t need to wear any jackets. On the bus, there was air-conditioning as usual I could understand since I took an air-conditioned bus – windows cannot be opened. But I guessed a higher temperature had been set so that I didn’t feel too cold. Back to my workplace, I really did feel cold, no matter in the morning or the afternoon. I didn’t feel well – I knew it was not so hot outside.

However, we may have to develop a habit of having air-conditioning even in November and December, very soon, although I cannot accept it now.

In the summer, I think I turned on the air-conditioners at my home no more than 25 times – mostly because I had to carry things when I moved to my new home, and some friends of mine visited me. I strongly believe that very often, fans are enough to keep me and you cool. Even when sometimes I felt really hot at my home during the summer holiday, I chose to go to the club house to do my work in order to save money, save energy and most importantly, save the earth. I didn’t have to worry; I knew the club house could make me very very cool.

Men and women, don’t force me to leave my home more often next year, alright?

Michael Jackson’s This is It did not end with praises to Michael’s spectacular dances nor his wonderful songs, but his message, “Our world has problems; our world is sick.” All we must do is to heal the world! When we can do something to keep us cool, can’t we do something to keep our world cool?

Hey, give me a break!!

The first month of the new school year finally comes to an end! Wow, full of excitement and encouragement.

I am excited because of new challenges in the new school year and meeting many new and old faces again.

I am encouraged because some students have changed a lot and become very interested in learning, and they actually make a lot of efforts.

However, like some of my hard-working students, I have lots of work ahead. It's good that I can have a break on 1/10. People's Republic of China, hallelujah!

2D bye bye! 6S hi hi!

I must say I miss you 2D kids! Many of you are full of love and are lovely followers of God. From the two moveis you made in S1 and S2, I am sure! Though I can't be your class teacher any more, keep contact and work hard for your future!

Being a class teacher of 6S is not an easy challenge. Feeling happy to meet some of you again, I will try my best to be a good guide of all of you in the coming 2 years.

Thanks for your visits to my new home!

I have not written anything on my blog for more than 1 month because I was busy with arranging millions of items for my new home. Finally it is done!

Thanks God, I now have a comfortable home, no, a comfortable home office, since I probably have to work 24 hours a day starting from September!

Before I have a new school year, it's nice to meet some friends of mine in the summer holiday. Thanks a lot for your visits!

A new school year, a new home

It may be a good thing that we have an earlier summer holiday, though we teachers still have to go to school sometimes...

Everybody, I have moved away from Beneville (which is next to Fu Tai in Tuen Mun). Hopefully we will be able to move to our new home in Discovery Park in Tsuen Wan before late-July. Now we are temporarily living on the streets in Tuen Mun...

Thanks God that we have a 'longer' summer holiday for our move, because this change really takes us a lot of time...

Hopefully I can settle everything before the end of summer holiday, and I will have a comfortable environment for my second office for the new school year.

My wishes after my 11-year-old birthday in Him

I believed in God on 1st May, 1998. It has been 11 years.

May God help me to love Him more, and lead me the road ahead.

May God bless my family, especially my mother, and let them have health and the chance to believe in Him.

May God bless my friends and some of their sick family members. I miss the days I often met them in the past.

May God help my S2 students to understand 'teaching is not easy' after their project learning exhibition, and think about their life goals more when they are still young.

May God slow down the spread of H1N1 flu, and let students, especially S5 & S7 students, continue their learning or prepare for the open exams. Also, may God help our school to carry on different activities in English Week on coming days. We teachers and student helpers have spent lots of efforts.

May God let everyone know our Earth has also been sick for a long long time, and give everyone the wisdom and love to stop wastage and pollution.

Easter Holiday

Though I am now having a long holiday, I still have lots of work to do...

Sometimes I may feel unhappy. But when I think of what Jesus did for us 2009 years ago, I do not have any more dissatisfaction...
