Taking stock of my emotions
It is amazing how time flies. It is already coming to the end of Week 1 in the history of SST and my goodness, the feelings I have been experiencing these few days were just tumultuous!
Uncertainty: Will I be able to engage the students fully? Will I be able to help them enjoy SST? Will I be able to cope with the expectations I have for myself?
Weariness: The amount of walking and running around I have done these four days really made me realise just how unfit I have become. Naturally my muscles ache from the strains of the day and every night, my eyelids droop involuntarily.
Sadness: It was with wonderment I know I was to be the assistant form teacher for S1-04 as I thought I would be looking after S1-07, the class I am going to teach. But after these 4 days with the class, I realised the time I had with them allowed me to know their little quirks (yes, some of them are!) and I actually wouldn't mind teaching them. I had a good time with them and the sadness I felt came after I was making my way home after the night hike.
Eagerness: I anticipate the good work that the teachers would be coming up with and look forward to this journey with them.

Google Maps (I) From one of my favourite haunts to SST...
View Larger Map
This is the map I have generated using Google Maps. It shows the public transport I could take from Tampines Mall to SST.
I could also generate the distance to travel on foot (by walking) or even the route to take if I drive (and it provides going by PIE or AJE)! Impressive.
If I click on the location, I could also look at an image of the traffic condition.
Richard's Expectation for 2010
It is really exciting to email a video attachment to your blog!
So simple!
My Experience in Creating This Blog
Blogging is not new to me, but I am not a very regular blogger. I blame it on my genetic and electronic make-up. But when I blog, I enjoy the experience because it does help me to think and reflect on what has taken place in my life. It is a good way to be introspective and retrospective.
2010 Journey Begins...
...way way back in 2008 when I knew my application to be seconded to SST was accepted.
It was an amazing feeling, because the call for applications came at the point in time when we were considering about our future (should we stay in MOEHQ or should we start looking for a school?). When I read about what the school was all about, the idea of starting a new school of that nature from scratch compelled me to apply!
Imagine when I was called to go for a focus group discussion. Imagine when I was called to go for an interview. Imagine when I knew I was offered a place in the school. Have a look at the image I have attached to have an idea :)
