I love my class. I am really blessed to be their teacher. Each bright mind, each adoring face, each innocent heart, each cheeky personality, each hardworking character touches me on a daily basis. I want to give to them as much as I can with the rest of the time I have with them. Each of them is a blessing to me.

Thank you kids! You are God’s gift to me this year. Happy Children’s Day! May you all grow up to be a greater blessing to people you meet. I LOVE YOU 3G!

I am back to using 6100! My student stared in disblief! "Cher, this phone got no video, no camera, no bluetooth you know!" "I know!" I said with a grin. My less-than-one-year-old V3(NUS) died on me. Actually it’s the screen that blacked out. I remember my brother said that flip phones tend to expire prematuredly. So my kind tuition kid lent me her Nokia 6100. It kinda simplified my life using a gadget for the sole purpose it was created for. I.e. calling and texting.

Surprisingly, and refreshingly, I no longer surf the net for the coolest phone to buy, or the coolest accessory to add to the existing phone. Instead, I found myself in a state of contentment. When I first saw this phone, I was transitting in HK airport. It was the coolest Nokia phone then. The sleekest and it’s got colour too! And it cost a hefty S$1000!! My student is willing to let me have hers for $30! I am taking it of course! It was afterall my dream phone years back!

A simple phone definitely has simplified my phone usage, and thus simplified my need for the coolest, smallest, fastest gadget.

Simplicity is sweet!
