Grateful

Yes! Thank you Lord for because of your mercy, I've achieved my target for last semester's exams.

Thank you Lord for giving me what I want and what I need.
Thank you Lord for your blessings.

Thank you Lord for your presence whenever I was down.
Thank you Lord for giving me the most loving family and caring friends in the world.

I'm now in my final semester. I pray that my classmates and I will have a bright future ahead.

Utterly sad and disappointed

Dear diary, I give up. I feel so tired. Maybe, I'm not born to be an educator. Maybe, I can't teach at all. I've been looking at this white envelope since this afternoon. Inside is my mark for this final practicum. I didn't open it but I have a bad feeling about it. I've done my best. I do my lesson plans everyday and I know my responsibility towards my students. I also prepared my lesson plans earlier, few days before my observation so that my lec can have a look at it and corrected it for me. But I feel like my efforts are not being appreciated. There was once, I prepared my lesson plan in pain. I had my period and it was so bad but I bore the pain coz I wanted to do my best for my observation. I feel that life is so unfair. Some people don't even have to work hard, or even prepare their lesson plan carefully. But they are truly blessed. They have good and considerate lec. Mine? I think I'm not good enough for her. I did my final observation 2 weeks before the March holidays. She wanted it to be done asap coz she needs to observe the juniors. But was it fair for me?? This is my final observation. Isn't it more important? I didn't have enough interactions with my students. I was observed during the second months of my practicum. Sigh..

Unlucky me.. But what can I do? It's true; life isn't just sweets and chocolates. Sometimes, we need to eat something bitter too. I just feel bad and sad coz I did all these things for my parents. I want them to be proud of me. I guess this time, I'm not gonna be able to do it. I'm sorry..

5 Reasons why you should visit Singapore, the city of Merlion.

Have you ever heard of the word Merlion?
Merlion is a combination of Mermaid and Lion.

Look at this picture. Does it make sense?
This is the landmark of Singapore.
A must place to visit when you land your feet on Singapore's land.

I've been keeping this entry as draft for quite some time. I wanted to share about my trip to Singapore but I was so busy. But today, while I'm sitting down and browsing the net, I look at my blog and suddenly I'm motivated to get this done.

Now, let's make this entry short, simple and straight to the point (3 S).

5 Reasons to visit Singapore.

1. It's easy to find cheap and comfortable room.

We stayed in Rucksack Inn and we just paid Rm60 for a night. Actually it's cheaper than this. But forget it.

There are many other cheap places provided that you don't mind sharing room with other people, you just have to google it out!

Kitchen with free breakfast.

2. Experience their Fantastic Universal Studios.

You will experience many amazing 4d's roller coaster rides. The best ride is the Transformer ride. The most scariest is the Revenge of Mummy in which the roller coaster will climb and reverse down suddenly. My heart dropped there and then! It was so thrilling.

 Apart from the roller coaster, you can take pictures with the amazing background like the Princess Fiona's big castle in the Far Far Away Land.

The best part of Universal studio is it makes you feel like you are part of the entertainment they have. I watched their live show of a movie action in the Water world and their Broadway concert called the Monster Rock in Hollywood. It was fantastic!

3. Easy to travel from one end to another end.

Travelers or foreigners, you have no worries over how to go to many places in one day. You just have to purchase an EZ-link card. This is how it looks like.

Jeng..jeng..jeng

You can purchase it at this booth.

With this card, you can go anywhere you want. You just have to make sure you have enough money inside.

4. Amazing building structures.

Tell you what, save your money and travel to Singapore. You will see something different from what we have here. 

I have a dream to visit Australia and Anfield, England. One fine day! ^^,

The history of my name ^^,

Hello! Are you not curious of how you are named and why that name was chosen??
Me, I am!!
My name is Michelle Elaine.

So, how I got my name?
My aunty suggested it to my father since my father wanted the first letter to be M.
My father wanted all his children to have the same initial, which is M.
Therefore my aunty suggested Michelle. Actually she wanted it to be Michelle Lane but somehow, my father changed it to Michelle Elaine.

Next question, why Michelle?
Have you ever heard of the movie, Full House?
My aunty told me she chose that name because it was the name of the main character of the famous comedy at that time, Full House.

Michelle Tanner (Ashley & Mary Kate Olsen)

I was named after this girl. haha.. couldn't believe it!
I always heard of this drama. This drama helped the Olsen's twin to gain popularity. They became famous because of this drama. But I didn't know that I was named after this little girl.

I guess my aunty was so obsessed/amazed  by her characters that she wanted her niece to have the same name. :)

How about you? Who chose your name and why that name was chosen?
