Never Back Down

During the last week of June holidays, I went to watch this movie called "Never Back Down". The lead actor of the show is Sean Faris, and my class happened to have 2 Faris-es too. Both are completely different in nature and appearances, but both are my still my cute babies in 5 Creativity. Let me tell you briefly what the movie is about.

Jake (Sean Faris) is the new kid in school. When a beautiful girl (Amber Heard) befriends him, Jake thinks he's set. But instead, her fight-club boyfriend, Ryan (Cam Gigandet), smacks Jake a bloody, black-eyed welcome. Humiliated, Jake then turns to a mixed martial arts (MMA) master (Djimon Hounsou), who teaches him how to fight… and how to walk away. But it becomes obvious that a brutal re-match is inevitable if Jake wants to stop Ryan and his bullying, once and for all.

It is a pretty violent movie, but it teaches us a morale, which is never to give up hope when we are faced with obstacles. We can overcome all problems, if we try!

Hello Everyone!


I am currently at White Sands Primary School, attending a course on weblogs in Maths. It is pretty interesting as I learned to explore and harness the many possibilites of using blog for teaching and learning. I hope I can implement it in my classroom use soon. The image on the right is a JPEG from a PowerPoint slide!

By the way, the P5 level, together with some teachers, are going to the NE Show this coming Saturday, 12th July 2008. Actually I went with the current P6 pupils to the floating platform @ Marina Bay (MB). It was a very fun experience! Every event that happened was so live, real and educational! It is really a different, enriching experienced as compared to watching it from the television screen on 9th August annually... I hope all my 5 Creativity babies can enjoy themselves and learn something meaningful when they embark on this journey to MB this Saturday!

Hello Gina, my ex-student

Hi Gina! Of course I remembered you, all of you from P4/1 were the first batch of students I took over when I came to Wellington Primary. The class had students like U, Joanne, CJJ, Stanley Kan and many many others... How have you been? I heard you are pretty close to Rachel now, that's good! Stay in contact ok?
