Nov 09 Update: School holidays

It has been a while since I wrote something.

I have been cleared for NPC as the 2nd scope also did not find anything. The doctor decided to discharge me from the programme.

This has been the busiest year yet for me.

I also recently attended the International Science Education Conference. Very educational! Many schools sent more than the standard one teacher, but not us...

My holidays are also fully packed up to the end of this week. I hope next week I can slow things down and get a day or two off while doing the preparations for next year.

Parking summons near Petal Mac

I got a parking ticket today at the car park off Petal Mac. I teach my kids there quite often but this is the first time I got a ticket. I did put a coupon but you know tuition remedial -- you never know when it will end. So I usually exceed a bit.

Physics Course

I attended a Physics course today and I am happy to say that how I teach the topic of magnetism is correct! Same as what the lecturer said! I am glad my content and Physics Education is still solid.

As usual, some teachers are not so good but it is good that they came for a course to learn from us... I knew the answer to all of their questions.

Teen Abortion Rate

Apparently, the number of teenage abortions per year has increased! I remember a few years ago, the teenage abortion rate was 600+ a year. Now it is 1000+!

Blood Donation

I just realised I should not donate blood until I'm cleared for NPC. That's just too bad. I've always liked blood donation. I even donated platelets before to save a cancer patient...

Happy National Day!

Singapore is a great country.

Cycling Trip at ECP

I went cycling from East Coast Tennis Centre (near McDonald's) to Changi Village. It was extremely tiring -- I think she was coping better than me! We started before 9 am but only got back after 3 pm! That was inclusive of rest stops, but still...

At McDonald's, we were spotted by a group of 3 students -- including May and Elice from 2E3! Elice sent May to sit in front of us to take pictures. I realised that but was unable to recognize May due to her different hairstyle. In any case, SC did not notice at all!

Later I saw Elice and knew we had been photographed.
