BEN'S 11th PARTY!

After so many days of consideration, i've finally made up my mind! :D had about an hour's talk with royston kor kor on the phone, and he gave me pretty much advice. he also made me realise that education is just like climbing a mountain, & now im only finding my mountain and i still have a long way to go before reaching the peak. For my results from O's, i could perhaps only climb Mount Faber! so i really got to work hard! (:

even though some schools may be far, but i shall just find fun in travelling! hahaha. anyways like what Ms Tan said, no JC is too far in Singapore. so im sure i can adapt to it =D the 3rd choice really made me hesitate very long, because it was between ACSI and NJC. in terms of distance, both are about the same, but the main problem is the difference between IB and A levels! i really had no idea how to choose.

royston kor kor also did some research on IB for me which i found it rather useful cause im not very clear about it either. i feel that its really tougher than A levels because its like a more rounded education. it don't only focus on books and syllabus, but it better prepares the students for education in uni. furthermore, the cohort last year did so well which proves that the system works :D & RJ is going to have IB soon too, so i guess that IB really does assures good results. they even had an average aggregate of 40.1! so yup, that's why i dont mind giving it a try :D

tadaaaa, here goes my choices! HC, RJ, ACSI, NJC, ACJC, SA, VJ, CJ, AJ, JJC, SP, NP! (:

today was pretty much fun yet tiring! we had benben's birthday celebration at aunt janice's house! :D jiejie & I went over early to do the deco & prepare the things we would need for the games we planned for the kids. tying the balloons was so tedious!!! we both do till our hands so painful! but well, its for our cute little brother! hahahah :D oh oh & i must say, while drawing on the balloons, it burst!!! it frightened me and it was so troublesome cause we had to untie those strings again and tie in another new one :(
Edwin helped us take things cause we both were too lazy to go downstairs to take lol =X
TADAA! after so much hard work! :D
yays! ((:
Played games like musical chairs, scavenger hunt, stepping of balloons, water & land with the kids & its really tough. children of all ages was hard enough to coordinate and plus alot of ppl talking made the whole place so noisy & we cant give instructions clearly. :( but luckily, the games still managed to carry on somehow hahaha :D
Presenting the pics when cutting cake! =))
benben's special request! chocolate cake with bananas from secret recipe (:
we find that benben's way of smiling is not counted smiling.. so...
jiejie helped! yupp thats smiling hahaha!:D
there he goes again, with that smile
HAHAHA. this looks better :D
benben with cousins! (not all though)
okay the help here don't really work lol
Next up, we had the PINATA for finale! xD yup though it was not cheap, but its an experience all the kids gained! :D i felt that i was like a person handling a funfair stall which is the whacking of pinata! cause i had to explain the rules, and help blindfold them one by one when its their turn, then turn them around and lead them to the place to start hitting hahahha.
really very fun cause all the kids and adults gathered there too :DD even yeye went to try to whack! he's so funny la hahaha! its something new cause i believe many of them have not seen such pinata before lol =) so after many whacks, guess who managed to break it!
Ryan! he whacked it open! :D
Through this pinata game, it made me realise the importance of having a goal in life. when we're blindfolded, we dunno where is our target. so even if we use our strongest force, we are charging forward aimlessly and it may even end up achieving nothing, and not a single hit. Whereas when they were not blindfolded on their second and third tries, they could aim for their target and eventually successfully hit till the candies were free for all to grab!
If you ask me now, i really am not sure of my own goal. since young, popo always asked me wad i wanna be in future. but she only gave me 3 choices: teacher, lawyer or doctor. so i chose to be a doctor. However since i like to be happy, the only happy part of a hospital would be where babies are born! :D hence since then i wanted to be a doctor who looks after the babies, or perhaps a gynaecologist. But is that really my interest? its time for me to consider it carefully. (:
