New shoes!

Got an international students' dinner to attend this month, hosted by the UNCW Chancellor, so thought I'll pop by Independence Mall to get a pair of shoes during the Columbus Day sales. How? How? Are they nice? Got them for US$10.69!

It's all thanks to Jani's blog that I kept seeing BOOTS, BOOTS and BOOTS everywhere!! Argh... They're really impractical in S'pore due to the hot and humid weather, but just perfect for cold seasons like the coming fall and winter!! I was super tempted to get this pair of really cute mid-calf beige Airwalk boots with faux fur cuffs for US$30! They were so snug and comfy!! And did I mention cute?? Siiiggghhh..... But I guess strappy heels do go with more items of clothing than a pair of boots... Sobs...

Have I seen you in heels? When we went to The Canteen? They're quite nice! Won't your feet get cold in them in winter?

I think the heels were when we went to Broth, I rode the motorbike with the ^&@%$%$%# heels on and didn't fall off.

I've decided to give up the boots in exchange for.... aikido lessons... not much of a fight there lah.

Sorry about the long wait folks...I'm finally blogging about my arrival in the States. July 31, 6am: Stumbled out of the Thai Airways plane into JFK Airport. After 20+ hours in cramped and dark conditions, I'm finally in the US!! Decided to stopover in New York as I've never been here before and wanted to see all the famous sights. So here they are- Manhattan Took a shuttle from the airport down to Manhattan. At first we thought it would be the quickest way, but we went all over Manhattan dropping people off at various hotels and hostels, so it was almost 10am by the time we checked in at Harlem YMCA. Not too bad, except that there was no a/c and NY was experiencing a heatwave!! It was sweltering in the small room. Washed up a little and proceeded to our first destination... The Empire State Building! Well, that's the view from the top. For some reason I don't seem to have a photo of the building itself. Think I was jetlagged and starting to get mild heatstroke....Y

Does this mean something?

Something struck me while I was preparing tomorrow's lesson plans for Genetics lab and thinking up wicked questions for next week's quiz for my students.. (well, not really, I'm actually a softie at heart who wants her students to do well, hahaha...). For someone who always professed to having a mild phobia to teaching, I've been doing a lot of teaching in the last 6-7 years or so! It started with being a nature guide talking to all those strangers about wildlife and conservation, to conducting sessions on how to be a nature guide, and all those courses on Reef Check and whatnot, plus instructing for educational companies like Creative Kids, where I had to teach primary and secondary students, all the way to trainee teachers and full-time teachers! Recently have also been teaching at NUS and here in Wilmington! I had a 'what are you planning to do with your life after you graduate' talk with my current supervisor recently, and mentioned that I don't really s
