What would you do for quick cash?

Take part in game shows?

Which would you choose?

1. Amazing Race
2. Deal or no Deal
3. Fear Factor
4. Be a Millionaire
5. Survival

What else?

Was watching Fear Factor (Psycho) and it was crazy to see the participants catching african roaches that makes a hissing sound and eating camel spiders. And this was not the last part of the show. Can't imagine what else they would have to do.

Would you?

Web 2.0 and other programs

I attended a course during the sept break about using ICT tools. The class was exposed to many web 2.0 websites including using blogger specifically as a learning tool. After the course, i was so intrigued by the programs that i began to try them one by one. Not that i tried all that was introduced, but i think it is more than enough. Anyway, i would not have the time to do so anymore once school starts again.

The ones that i have "touched" were del.ciou.us, pageflakes, bloglines, vox and my yahoo! aggregator. And i decided that i will stick to my blogspot instead of starting another one on vox, even though vox offers nicer themes and backgrounds. But familiarity with blogspot is still much preferred. =) As for the use of aggregator to check updated websites and blogs of friends, it has been quite useful so far. I must say that this course has been beneficial and has triggered off some ideas to use ICT tools more in my work.

I started one webpage on pageflakes for a class and am hoping that it can be used. But thinking about it again, the school is already offering leadportal (as brought up by my dear wife, might as well use it since students already have their own account, no need to set up another one for them on pageflakes). I guess everything would be put on hold first until i have more time to get this sorted. Who knows... maybe have everything on blogspot?

Recreation Lane

It was one weekday morning and i was taking a bus to school. I passed by this road that says Recreation Lane somewhere near PLMC. I was just thinking to myself if the people staying along this road are people who enjoy life and place recreation as a high priority in their life. I also wondered if the people staying there are friendly, whether they will organise BBQs with neighbours... etc.

Just some fillie falla thoughts... But i guess it would be nice if i can have a place along that road and really make it a recreation lane. It's private housing btw. =) And i wondered who named that road as recreation lane. Some historical background to that place? Anyone knows? Singapore street names can really be interesting sometimes.

Dreamweaver Workshop

Today i had a full day of course with CKK. Working on dreamweaver was kinda interesting. Learnt many things and features of dreamweaver. Still not good enough to do up a nice website. But i guess i will continue to meddle with it. It was tiring coming to the end and i think full day courses are just as tiring as a normal school day.

Tmr is the staff dinner and i looked through my closet to see what "retro" stuff i can come up with. My wife gave me some ideas and i think i would look pretty retro.. i hope. I just hope that no one will laugh, but even so, it is good to bring a laughter or two for my fellow colleagues. The thing i dread is the decor of the hall. Of all things, i think decor is the worst part, not that it is a dirty job, but i just dun enjoy it. Put me in games, and i think i will have more than two times the energy to carry out the task and enjoying it at the same time. =D I guess i could have a say as to what i would like to be involved in, but well... let decor be my training ground this time round.

Looking forward to the end of the week and then the short break will come and also the short stay at M would be interesting.

Feeling not too well

I am so tired today. Just popped another pill for flu. I was squeaking with my hoarse voice, with an added strong nasal effect. I hope that didn't affect the learning of my students. I guess i should rest, but the nagging feeling of outstanding work is ... urgh!

Ok.. i am fine with venting now. Shall go get some rest.

Opportunities to make God known

It all started when E shared about her experience during service and people started to ask questions. And without me knowing it, i began to share about my life and how i came to know and believe in God. They asked a question, i answered. They continued to ask, and i continued to talk. =)

This was one of the most desired conversation i ever wanted in the S. That somehow, people would come to know about the goodness of God. I do not know how it will carry on from here, but i know one thing for sure. God has not forgotten them, He loves them and calls them by name. One day, we will all stand together and sing praises to His name.

This is my prayer.

You are INVITED!
