The Minster of Education, Mr Heng / S A M A N T H A

Hi there! I’m Samantha,

and this space encompasses my personal milestones made beautiful in His time. Combining my flair for easy-to-read writing and my love for photography, here you'll find me sharing the thing I'm most passionate about - travel, food, fashion and my conversations with God.

*P.S when God was blessing others with the gift of height, He left me out realizing that great things come in tiny packages, so instead I am gifted with endless energy and a big wide smile to get through difficult times.

Forever & always, a child of God. Through this cozy little virtual haven, I hope each post inspires at least someone out there with my life stories.

The Minster of Education, Mr Heng

w Mr Heng, Minister of Education

Thanks to Temasek Polytechnic, I have been given so many such opportunities which I'm really grateful for. Thanks for picking me to representing TP/Business School,out of so many people. I may not be the best choice but I believe everything happens for a reason!

& IDK whether it's this season or what, but really, it was 2 invitations to 2 diff ministers in a row man! Even I got confused. The school called me up for Minister of Education, Minister Heng. & this upcoming Saturday, my Law manager FACEBOOKED (YES FB!) me to meet the Deputy Prime Minister @ his office function room sorta. OMGZ! Me, of all people? I hope I don't embarrass myself or the school.

Had breakfast in the morning while reading up on the Minister.

Got this black pepper chicken pie last night @Vivo. Through I'm not a pie or pastry lover, but when I saw it, it's a new pie shop at Basement SO just wanted to TRY. I doubt I will buy it again thro... not very nice :/

So anyways, the dialogue session with Minister Heng was @ ITE College West. At CCK. OMG I know right, it's literally at the other end of Singapore. I doubt I have really been in that grounds before. Ah, nvm at least I can say I have been there before now!

It went quite well, although I couldn't keep still cause the room was freaking cold & I have been seating in that same seat from 9.45 to 1.30 almost 4 hours, omgzzz... I think alot of us had many things to say. Thankfully, it's a small group of 4 from each Poly, 1 from each ITE. So about 25 people only... (:

TP Representatives

The Minister was quite nice & friendly, no doubt about that. I think he is a very accomplished man. Talked to him 1-to-1 in my TP group, when photo taking with him after the whole session.

Time for some refreshments. These snacks aren't my cup of tea but I just wanted to try it. Partly because, guess what? It's made by the ITE students & teachers. How cool! Hmmm, I doubt TP would allow that if it's meant for VIPs. haha, Idk. Initially I didn't believe that it was made by them, BUT, look at the cookies, one of them has the ITE letters carved on it!
