Class Outing on Saturday

Heys, we have a long weekend this week so do all of you want to go out for a class outing on saturday? Considering some of you might only be released on friday itself, let go out on saturday instead of friday. Now, to choose the venue:

1. Singapore Zoo- entrance fee is $18. We can spend a whole day there coz it closes at 6pm, and we can have lunch there also. Haven't gone there since P3...

How to get to the zoo:

(By Bus)
From the City, take bus service 171 to Mandai Road, then alight at the first bus stop and transfer to bus service 927 or 926 (operates only on Sundays and Public Holidays).

2. Jurong East Swimming complex- dunno how much time we can spend here, they've got a wave pool, a river where we can float along, slides and all. Entrance fee is $2. As for how to get there, we'll find out more later.

3. Escape Theme Park- yeal...same old games, but trying them again once in a while and as a class may be a different experience. Entrance fee is around $17.70. Easy to get there.

4. Pulau Ubin- go there for a short cycle, enjoy the short boat ride and drink coconut water. :) Nice to be outdoors.

Now, take your pick. Do sms me your choice, or any other place you're thinking of going that are not listed here. Hm...can tell me by thursday? thanks.

Heyhey, this is a poem (about the significance in the seemingly insignificant dash) a teacher showed when I was in primary school. I find it meaningful..... so somehow, I still remember the essence of it and like it a lot ^^ Hope all of us have meaningful "dashes" :)

Enjoy!

LIFE BETWEEN THE “DASH”

I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
from the beginning...to the end.

He noted that first came her date of birth
and spoke the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all
was the “dash” between those years. (1934 -1998)

For that dash represents all the time
that she spent alive on earth...
and now only those who loved her
know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own;
the cars...the house...the cash,
what matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our “dash”.

So think about this long and hard...
are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
that can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough
to consider what's true and real
,and always try to understand
the way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger,
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we've never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect,
and more often wear a smile...
remembering that this special “dash”
might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy's being read
with your life's actions to rehash...
would you be proud of the things they say
about how you spent your “dash”?
