Freedom Writers

Wow! Almost one year already since my last post! I guess no one really care, who else logs on to blogger when twitters and facebooks are so much funner!

There had been a couple of changes in my life since the beginning of the year, most notably my ORD. Two years now seem incredibly short ... NS in Chong Pang camp was beyond words.. I dunno whether I should be saying this but hell I thoroughly enjoyed my time in NS. 7 Weeks in Tekong Chalet, 3 months in ARC playground, burnt 2 months in Gedong desert and finally spent the rest of my NS in cloud 7 Chong Pang. Made many friends, really hope we would keep in touch. Aloysius, Rey, Hong Shern, Mao, Samuel, Joseph, Chia & Matthew (writing their names down just in case... my memory of ppl's name is pathetic) are ppl who left a significant impression, they are many more but as i said.. my memory of names is really pathetic... really struggling to put names to faces sometimes, really worries me u know, am I suffering from some kind of Alzheimer.

Anyway what prompted me to write this post is the movie Freedom Writers. I just caught it on dvd (rented by my dad) and it gave me so much inspiration. The movie is (a ture story) about a determined first time teacher going against adversity to unite a group of disillusioned students and eventually inspired them to become freedom writers. ok fine i know my describtion is awful.. tt brings me to the reason why I am reluctant to write blogs, i guess i am too conscious about my not so perfect english. You know being a soon to be teacher and all, i really have to improve on my writing skills. I always envy ppl who could easily write and express themselves. Americans in those damn Hollywood films always appeared so versatile and are able to so naturally express themselves! It made me really jealous, sometimes even ashamed that we (as in Singaporeans? or mayb Asians in general or mayb just me...) still lacked very much in the ability to communicate effectively and freely. It is their culture tt really intrigues me.... aiya i am too lazy to elaborate.. crap.. do u know how many times i visted dictionary.com writing this post jus to make sure my spellings are right argh!! really gotta improve..

Randomly I have decided to post some random photos..
