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...

"My ugly English teacher" from 2D Coffee Wu

My ugly English teacher is very funny. In his lessons, I will be very pleased because we always laugh. He makes the lessons very happy. Sometimes, we play games and he explains the game rules. We don’t understand but we pretend to understand because everyone is afraid to put up his or her hand to ask questions, so we just play the games but we don’t know what to do. Then my English teacher is very angry. I think we are very silly. He wears glasses and always wears black trousers. At Mid-Autumn Festival, he gave lanterns to us to let us play, because he wanted us to feel the atmosphere of the festival more, and hoped we could celebrate that Chinese festival.

My true feelings:
My English teacher is very nice. He encourages us to do many things. He hopes we can do the jobs, so he helps us to do them. My English teacher is very funny, and he always makes us laugh. My English teacher is a good teacher because he designs games to help us to learn English easily. I like him very much. Although he is very rigid, I know it is good for us. (200 words)

"My ugly English teacher" from 2D Woody Tam

I think my English teacher is ugly and he is also very fat. I am sure he is overweight. I don't think he is muscular and smart. I think he is not muscular and smart because he looks like a stupid boy, and I think his English is not very good.

My true feelings:
Now I want to write about the true things about my English teacher. Although my English teacher is not very handsome, I don't think he is ugly, and his English is very good. I think he is nice and friendly too. I think he is a good teacher, so I'm happy with him. (107 words)

"My ugly English teacher" from 2D Oscar Lai

My English teacher is Mr. Chow. I think he is very disgusting because he is very ugly. He has a very big nose. It is very terrible. I feel so bored when he teaches us English because SEEL paper is otiose, and the warm-up games are very troublesome. I feel unhappy when I have English lessons.

My true feelings:
Actually, I think Mr.Chow is a very good teacher in Tsung Tsin College because he doesn't reprove us. He is not ugly, but not handsome too. He is very nice, and I like to learn English very much. (97 words)

"My mum wants me to protect the environment" from 2D Ling Ho

I still remember it was a very horrible day. When I woke up, my mum came to my room and told me a piece of inconceivable news. She wanted me to protect the environment!

"What?" I got up quickly and yelled very loudly.

"Don’t ask me again! I don’t want to repeat many times! And… you," she pointed at my sister and said. "You think of some ways to protect the environment!" At the same time, my sister and I were going to face a series of poor experiences.

During breakfast time, my mum stopped me using wooden chopsticks, “We should reduce using wooden chopsticks! We should use plastic chopsticks!”

After that, I drank a bottle of lemon tea and wanted to throw it. Suddenly, my mum shouted at me and said, “We should recycle plastic bottles, paper and aluminium cans! Are you stupid? Do you know how to protect the environment? We should reuse glass bottles and reduce waste! Understand?”

"Yes, it is too easy to do. Don’t worry! There is no problem!" I said impatiently.

Finally, my sister told me a message. My mum did not want to spend much money so she wanted us to protect the environment. That means it was a cheat!

The true story/ my true feelings:
This topic is very difficult to write and I don’t think my mother will want me to protect the environment. It’s because she has produced more waste than me. Also, I don’t like to use wooden chopsticks because I think they are not clean.

However, this topic is very useful. It’s because we have global warming in the earth. If we still don’t protect the environment, all animals will die. Then, we will die too because we don’t have enough food. (294 words)

Happy Valentine's Day

Must we buy our lovers chocolate on Valentine's Day? Flowers? Big Dinner?

Must we have a lover or we will feel lonely on Valentine's Day?

All kinds of presents can be a good present if we are really in love.

Everyday can be Valentine's Day. Everyone can be the one we should love.

"My classmates are bad at sports" from 3D Yuki Chun

Our school has many school activities but our classmates are bad at sports. So, most of my classmates join interest groups as their extra-curricular activities. They like to join Chess Club, Photography Club, Chinese Club, English Club, Computer Club, Geography Club and Chemistry Club. These clubs are about quiet and not active hobbies.Less classmates join clubs about sports. We have only one student in Volleyball Team. I am afraid that in Sports Day our classmates cannot get good results. If we go to the school picnic, and our destination has only a basketball court, we will have nothing to do because we are bad at sports. We can just sit or walk there.


The true story:

Some boys in my class are good at playing basketball. And they belong to Basketball Team. Some of our female classmates are good at playing volleyball but only one girl belongs to Volleyball Team.
