I love shopping. But 7 places in 5 days for work? I ended up with sore feet, a stretched neck (from oogling at the window displays) and a worrying heart wondering if everyone in class was safe each time. I visited a new mall tho. ;) And Tampines 1 was only so-so.
I had wanted to abort all the rest of the experiential learning for the week...for my own heart was weak after an assault case on Monday. I was exesperated when I received the phone call. My heart pounded hard as I worried about my kid's injury. I panicked for the rest of the class who needed me at a distant place at the same time. As I stood alone in the carpark, looking up to the sky in desolation...I heard my name being called.
"Hi, Cher...you ok?" It was a student from another class.
"No, I'm not," I replied.
I related what happened and he offered help. I was so touched, especially, when I had felt very bad for scolding him several days back and had been praying for reconciliation. Never did I expect it to be this way. He saved my day!
I was real scared to take another class out after that. I was all ready to abort the exercise for all the other classes...just to play safe. My heart was too weak for another to be hurt. But encouragement from boss and colleagues gave me new strength to try again. Nothing bad happened to the other classes. In fact, I had quality time with many of them. Thank God, I tried!

It has been a week since I started cutting down on carbo, keeping to veg, soup and meat, for dinner and it was tough. My mind would be filled wtih food by mid-afternoon and it did not help that everyone in the dept was feeling the same! So, we would munch crackers and chat our cravings away.
I love this one so far....wondering which animal I'll get each time I reach into the pack. ;)
Good vocabulary snack for kids too!
