I know 3 posts on Mount Fuji 🗻 is a little excessive but I can’t help it. There’s a magic about Fuji-san and I’m so thankful we got to see this majestic beauty. Fuji has a reputation for being elusive because it’s frequently obscured by clouds, making it challenging to see in its full splendor. Many tourist make a day trip to Mount Fuji only to be disappointed by bad weather. This Japan trip was a request by my dad as he really wanted to see Mount Fuji. And I was determined to make his wish come true. Being very kiasu, my travel itinerary was to stay around Mount Fuji for 5 full days. Thankfully ,worrying is not always a bad thing. True enough, 3 out of 5 days were raining and cloudy and Mount Fuji was not visible. We were very fortunate to have 2 days of beautiful sunny and clear skies, exposing Fuji’s iconic peak in its full glory. It was lovely to see my dad so happy.

Oh snail,
climb Mt. Fuji,
but slowly, slowly
- Issa Kobayashi This famous poem captures the essence of a snail’s journey up Mount Fuji. The emphasis on the importance of patience, determination, and the beauty of the journey itself is a good reminder to us all as we navigate through life’s tough challenges.

We just completed another run of the teacher-counsellor certification for MOE teachers today. I’ve lost count of how many cohorts I have taught over the years. However the emotions I feel after every semester is the same. I’m filled with admiration and respect for all these amazing teachers who I’ve gotten the chance to get to know and work closely with. Their love for the students, and their dedication to their work and the kids is such a beautiful thing. I’m so grateful to teach this course, and to interact with wonderful individuals and be inspired by them. Thank you for teaching our children and the countless other things that you do. ❤️

Sometimes we just need a little reminder 😊

Many myths about relationships are not only false but potentially destructive because they can lead couples down the wrong path.
