In my head I've reflected about what I've been learning during this Covid-19 time, but I think it's about time that I started to write them down before I quickly forget. There have definitely been highs and lows during Covid-19 and distance learning was not easy. (We are going back to the classroom in about … Continue reading #SOL20 Things I’ve Grown to Appreciate During Covid-19

a dream comes true
One of my dreams for a while has been to get my doctorate. I never thought that it would become a reality as I recognized the rigor, time, and money it takes to achieve that. I didn't think that I could stop work to do that full time and I didn't feel smart enough to … Continue reading a dream comes true
a saturday @ hort park
When I arrived (a bit late) in the morning to Hort Park, I was in awe of the beauty of the lucious greens, tall trees, and open grass field. Where was I? How come this was the first time I've actually ventured inside. I had only passed by Hort Park at the start of the … Continue reading a saturday @ hort park
2015 in review
One of the most important lessons I attained from my graduate degree in education is the importance of reflection. Every week, instead of tests (thank goodness for progressive education), we wrote pages and pages of reflections on our learning. We reflected on everything- from our journey as teachers, education theory, pedagogy, experiences in the classroom, … Continue reading 2015 in review
a new thanksgiving tradition
Orange is the new color of choice for a group of SAS teachers during thanksgiving weekend, as we venture to Changi airport with bags packed to the brim, full of a hodgepodge of donatable school supplies, translated Khmer posters, lesson plans, art kits, and the minimal pieces of clothes and toiletries to last us through the … Continue reading a new thanksgiving tradition
a year through photos
The other day, I was telling my friend how I had no space on my phone to download another app because of all the photos that I took. It's true, especially when you have a 16gb memory space and you love to document everything through photos. I blame it partly on one of my strengths … Continue reading a year through photos

When one thinks of Paris, the Eiffel Tower is one of the first things that most people think of. It's an incredible icon of Paris. There were abundant reminders of this beautiful iron structure all over Paris. I must admit, I probably had close to 100 pictures with the Eiffel Tower in it. One of the … Continue reading a paris icon: the eiffel tower
a few of my favorite things {paris}
To say that I'm a bit behind would be an understatement, but nevertheless I think it's time to start posting my Paris pics from March, then I can post more current pics from NY. It's hard to not fall in love with Paris after visiting. This was my second time going back (as an adult), … Continue reading a few of my favorite things {paris}
slice of life challenge day #3: about time
I'm a day late again for my post, but I'm going to keep going. Last night, I fell asleep with my laptop next to me on my bed, with my blank blog post for the day open on the screen. All that I had typed in was "slice of life challenge day #3". It has … Continue reading slice of life challenge day #3: about time
slice of life challenge day #2: missed calls
The first thing I do in the morning is usually checking my iphone or pressing the snooze button on my iphone alarm. Today was a Sunday morning, and I woke up on my own a little before 9AM. I always keep my phone on vibrate during the night, so when I checked my phone, I … Continue reading slice of life challenge day #2: missed calls
