i really need to admit that joining NIE may be the BEST decision which i ever made in my life so far. (excluding knowing some really awful people here)
i dunno about others, but for me.. i always want to find meaning in my life… like i wanna do something which is life-changing and at least when i die, i wld be someone who left a footstep in someone’s heart.. oh well… i mean i may not be very good at teaching… BUT i enjoy doing things for children… which may feel sucky at 1st BUT really worthwhile and satisfying if you see that it’s being appreciated.
on last sunday, i accompanied my sis for this NTU talk on the courses avaliable… i was extremely shocked when my sis wanted to go into Bioengineering or Life Sciences .. i know nuts about such bio stuff.. BUT my sis is super interested in that.. and i was like ‘are you sure?sounds really chim..’.. and she’s like ‘yes! i dunno what else to take if i’m not accepted.. it’s only 80 places can!’ at that pt of time, i was really thankful that teaching is so much easier than engineering or bio.. in fact, i thot that having a degree in teaching is kinda like redundant as compared to engineering??? oh well.. coz teaching is abt something you already know… BUT it’s skill and passion to whether you can teach or not…
anyway, to add on to how much i feel that teaching is wonderful… i enjoy the fieldtrips i had on monday and tuesday.. haha… reading this.. you wld think tt i’m mad… coz we actually needed to write a fieldtrip report… HOWEVER i need to admit tt i’m extremely thrilled to enter a WATER TREATMENT PLANT and INCERATOR PLANT and NEWATER VISITOR CENTRE. it’s my FIRST time going to such places.. and i think w/o NIE i dun think i’ll even go to these places on my own… even if i do… i may not have guides to explain or tell me the procedures that goes on in these plants… man… i have to admit that i learnt alot… and i feel smart suddenly!! really!! see… i drew a conclusion tt NIE is great.. haha.. though going for the fieldtrip is really time-consuming and tiring.. BUT what matters is i learnt something from it! :beam1 if you rem, i actually went to this military camp last yr coz NIE bought us there… that’s super exciting too.. coz i held a rifle and pulled the trigger can!!! :tongue1
