1st post

i have a terrible sorethroat

today was a great day.. we went to FMSS (fairfield methodist) early in the morning. the principal, miss lim, was just soo enthusiastic and inspiring. she spoke really really loudly though.. a bit 刺耳 as shannon puts it. haha

after that, we toured around the school. it looked very new and colourful. the main colour was bright red and yellow. honestly, it looked like macdonalds. =P

in all, the trip was really enriching. innovation needs a PURPOSE. to be sucessful, we sometimes need to be relentless in our pursuit. for example, miss lim 'cleared the weeds' once she became the principal of FMSS, she was hated by everyone and there was a 80% turnover in the teachers. however, her school is now fantastic. on the whole, i was impressed with FMSS.

after the trip, we went back to VJ. today is the last day of our 1st innovation week. i really learnt alot, ethnography, metaphors, and changing context.. hee, now i hvae 3 tools.. soon my tool box will fill up!! =D btw, i like the concept of the divergence diamond. haha

as the last activity, all of us had to comment on the week. we had to start with "dear class" and end with "thank you", that was the only rule. it was especially touching hearing mr ho share with us his opinion of our class. i hope we get him for our teacher in the coming innovation weeks!

after that, i rushed to training and but was still 20 minutes late =( i reached home at about 8..

yep.. thats about all, i'll blog off now. bb
