Becoming A Teacher Soon

I was recently accepted to do a teaching course here at Massey and very soon, I will be a qualified teacher here in NZ. As there are shortage of teachers here in NZ, especially in Mathematics, I will undergo a 35 week training course with half of them (18 weeks) being attachment at local schools. I am also lucky is that as a Maths teacher(there is a real shortage), the NZ government is actually paying me NZ$10,000 to study. Not bad , eh. Getting paid to study and in the meantime still working at NZ Post.

Christmas Is Just Around The Corner

The shops and the shopping mall are getting crowded by the day, we are having massive sales by major retailers, houses are decorated with lights and christmas decorations are all over town, so you know that Christmas is just around the corner. To all my friends and relatives both here in NZ and Singapore, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy 2007.

Family Came To Palmy

For the past 1 week, my family came to visit us in Palmy. It was great to see our family again after separating for slightly more than 1 year. One of my nieces have grown much taller and is even taller than her mum. We had great time catching up with each other, visiting places in the Manawatu and eating out everyday of the week. I really hope my family had a great time here in Palmy and the weather was awesome. It will not be long soon before we ourselves make our trip back to Singapore and Penang to visit friends and relatives too.

Summer Fruits Are Beginning To Appear

We are noticing quite a few summer fruits appearing at the supermarkets. Cherries, strawberries and apricots are now being sold and very soon, nectarines, plums, peaches, grapes and many more will follow soon. Summer is the time for fruit lovers including myself.
