Wednesday, June 18, 2008 Y 10:46 PM Hi all Apologies for not posting on the class blog for so long. I was out of Singapore for 2 weeks. Just came back yesterday. Thank you for all your kind words. I am really so touched after reading the posts. Have all of you been enjoying your holidays? I hope you have fully recharged yourself so that you can fight the battle in the second semester. ;p Remember that your ultimate goal this year is to go to your desired class in Sec 3! When the new term starts, all of you must be focused and work hard towards your goal. No more childish play and nonsense in class anymore k! Listen to all your teachers and clarify doubts. Bear in mind what Mdm Chiew and myself told you during the PTC! The second semester will not be a bed of roses. In fact, some of you may find yourself struggling with the workload and the syllabus. You may find yourself looking for an easy way out - to give up. However, a struggle may be just the thing you need. Here's a little story to share with you. The Man & His Emperor Moth A man found a cocoon of the Emperor Moth and took it home to watch it emerge. One day, a small opening appeared and for several hours the moth struggled but couldn’t seem to force its body past a certain point. Deciding something was wrong, the man took a pair of scissors and snipped the remaining bit of cocoon. The moth emerged easily, its body large and swollen, the wings small and shrivelled. He expected that in a few hours the wings would spread out in their natural beauty, but they did not. Instead of developing into a creature free to fly, the moth spent its life dragging around a swollen body and shrivelled wings. The constricting cocoon and the struggle necessary to pass through the tiny opening are God’s way of forcing fluid from the body into the wings. The “merciful” snip was, in reality, cruel. Sometimes, the struggle is exactly what we need. No matter how tough the situation may be, you will be able to overcome it if you are determined to. Never look for an easy way out. I have reported to my new school and is now trying to adapt to the new system. I will definitely miss all of you. It is true that time flies. I still remember the first day I stepped into your class , trying to remember all your names and faces, conducting the spot-check, went for the camp with you.. It has been an enjoyable 6 months and this will always be fond memories. We wll keep in contact and I will be waiting for good news at the end of the year from all of you. You can contact me via email too. huihong.tan@hotmail.com Keep in touch and i will try to post whenever im free! Take care and be good! Luv, Mrs Chia |
