I'm Lost
In the Deep blue Sea
I wish
I can find my way through
I wish
I know how to breathe in the water
And admire the waving corals
the colourful fishes
With grace
It really doesnt take that much
To get myself up above to breathe the fresh air
This I know
But chose to ignore
And adhere to the drowning danger of the Deep Blue Sea

My latest new found interest -- you tube. I do know about its existence for a while. However, i just got to be amused by it yesterday when I randomly found some national geographic clips...Hence, this has kept me going for these two days.

每天的生活习惯都差不多。上班，下班，回家，睡觉。
但每天踩着的步伐却不一样。快的，慢的，轻的，重的。
一天的步伐就构成了每一天的生活旋律。
有时候因忽略了它，生活也似乎没了旋律。
而太刻意的编制着步伐，又往往会因为忘了看着前面要走的路，而绊倒自己。
每天都在那里学习如何走路，如何走出生活的旋律，踏出生命的精彩。

I was walking from Chinatown the other day since I had some time to spare before my pilates class. While walking along the stretch from Chinatown to Clarke Quay, I thought that it was quite an interesting feel walking down singapore streets at night. Walking by myself reminds me of the times when I was walking by the downtown streets of Montreal. It can actually get quite romantic, I guess and it really doesn't have to happen in the movies or elsewhere. It's the companion and myself that makes the big difference. I do feel like I am falling in love with myself again, head over heels. There was a sudden surge of energy for me to move on.
While I happened to have my camera with me, I decided to take the chance to take pics of the pretty new kid on the block-Central Mall. As I was down to snapping the very last pic just before my camera battery went flat, I discovered that the more I was into taking pics, the more things there were for me to see and take. What appears as a pretty building at first glance became a thing of interest for me to srutinize in greater detail. Soon after, deconstruction begins to take place naturally with my naked eye.

I just had my first day of teaching last sunday at Kinderarts. It is basically an art class intended for preschoolers. The course that I was taking over is a crayons and paints class whereby the kids are introduced different artists each week and asked to do similar sttuff as the artists. My class was a sequel to the week before and the artist introduced was Pied Mondrian who's famous lines and grid painting has been displayed and conceptualized in many modern art pieces. The kids were thus asked to draw line and do pastels and paint. The intention was very simple. Not to mold another picasso or pied mondrian but just simply to weld confidence in the kids to learn to hold a pencil and draw or to paint. Afterall, everyone of us is a born artist at heart.
That first lesson was much more complicated than what I had imagined, more stressful that what I had perceived earlier on when I sat in for the class last week. I was practically moving about non stop throughout the what one-hour class! There was a trial kid - a girl (trial kid meaning they just paid for that lesson to try it out). She was so shy in the beginning that she was tagging on to my pants the whole time. I had to be with her in order for her to colour. I could see that she like it though but wants company. That was when I realised that I have to have my eyes on not just one kid but the other 10 kids in the class. Every kid is so different. The teacher was describing to me every single kid..."that kid is abit more clumsy...tends to drop his stuff often...that kid is very independent ..but lacks the confidence to pick a colour..u have to encourage him and ask what colour he likes and squeeze the tube for him". Simple acts like squeezing of the paint tube was something I had taken for granted as an adult.
The teacher was telling me that "Handling Preschoolers is a tough job but not as tough as it seems." That kind of reminds me of everything in life....I guess..
I did enjoy the class though. I'm glad I tried...if not, I wont know how it's like.
