Run at simpang kiri jogging track

its really quite cool to run in the evening...Although there is no good sea view to boast of at simpang kiri jogging track which is just off yishun ring road...the view of the moon and the quiet scenery is more than any jogger would ask for...

the track is quite spacious.But it can get quite dark at certain corners...so better run in pair...the distance for to and fro for the jogging track will be about 5.6km...good and comfortable distance to cover for a evening...

after the run...there is really a sumptuous and power dinner at xueping house...oh my....i eat and eat 2 plates of rice with others dishes...curry chicken,fried prawns,fish ball soup,vegetables and fried fish.

before i go there i actually eaten 3 pieces of pizza..haha...

and there is still bak kut teh,rice and you tiao waiting for me at my house...

i think sometimes maybe eating is my special talent...

Sophie Schroll:Strong, emotional and gripping German Movie




saw this german movie Sophie Scholl: Die letzten Tage..OMG...its really good...its so exciting ...i was glued to my seats...the german actors and actresses was so vocal and emotional.simply outstanding...

the plot is also super good...it happened to be a true story...this movie plot is taken from interrogation transcripts taken by the german secret police Gestapo during world war 2. Basically sophie scholl and her brother members of the white rose (a passive resistance movement) is arrested by Gestapo for giving out leaflets in the university.

I was really attracted to the strength, bravery and diligence of sophie scholl..During the interrogation she is able to fool the Gestapo interrogator specialist. Only to confessed in the end cos evidence was found on her brother.She went on to lie to save the rest who are helping her in the movement. Even when she was going to be sentence in court she is still strong. She speak her mind about short comings on nazi ideology. She believe strongly in freedom and she is willingly to sacrifice her life for her belief.

My favourite scenes is in the court where a really fierce exchange of words between the brother and sister with the court offical. I also like the ending scene which was very nicely filmed...and of cos the music adds to the effect...

no question about the quality of this movie..it won the silver bear in 2005 berlin film fest

SYF Band




I was helping out with Telok Kurau Band.They are going for their SYF competition today.Its the 1st time Telok Kurau is sending them for SYF for band.The band members do not have much experience..they do not have experienced seniors who have SYF experience before.But they really trained very hard...

Went to school super early...they is plenty of things to do and prep.I have to reach at 6am in school...The girls are coming at 6am and the guys at 630am..the girls need more time to make up...The school look unusual quiet and dark. help to collect the breakfast for the band members..some female teachers are also helping out with the girls for their make up...

The band members start to change into their costume...and getting ready to board the bus.
They also play on the bus.For our performance they are playing bengawan solo then hall of the mountain king. There is a transition between the 2 song..the members will have to pass their notes to the respective memebers that are playing their notes and collect their new notes from other students holding on to them..i am more worried...cos it have to be done with min effort,time and noise..

in the end the band got bronze...very good for a 1st timer ..there is still a lot of room for improvements...i feel that the members have done their very best...

Sudden Supervision

Was about to go to the physics lesson to give 3Dil test.Suddenly my prof from NIE called me...i was shocked to see him there.i was not prepared to be observed..Cos i have emailed him telling that i be giving tests for the 3 physics lessons on mon..so not good for supervision. I was really shocked to see him..i have nothing on hand to show him...

But i just tot that since he is here...i will have to postpone 3Int physics test to fri so i can teach turning effect of forces so he can observe me teach...so that would means...after 12-1pm 3Dil test then 1 hour break then 2-3pm 3Int observation on turning effect of forces...i have to whip up a lesson in the mean time.

My class 3 Int was very cooperative ..i think they know i am been observed...they give me face...thanks you my students...they try to be more attentive and less noisy...so i feel the lesson went quite well despite the lack of time to prepare...then the supervisor brief me on my lesson...i think i am very satisfield with his feedback on my lesson...

come to think of it...i have finish 9 out of 10 observation..its coming to an end soon...well..feel like really fast that i just got to TKSS yesterday...time really flies....
