national day celebrations and official sch opening

today we celebrated national day. everyone is encouraged to wear red! this year's national day theme is 'live our dreams, fly our flag". so my students have to illustrate their dreams on a namecard. let me show you some samples.












(yes i have a student who is called wen fang! but her surname is not 范. haha.)


anyway i wore a red color shirt that looks quite ah beng, white crocodile pants which i bought at parkway when i was shopping with darling, and the striking pink color nike shoes!


so i had 50 students coming to me saying they love my pink shoes, and 10 colleagues also coming to me to say the same thing. hahahaha. :p


after the national day celebrations is the official sch opening. my sch and my neighbour sch are called community school, because we are working with tampines west community centre to lease our facilities to the public. so today is our official sch opening as the community school. 


this is a very dua zhong event. got media. got MP as guest of honour, and many other invited guests, including Ps and VPs from other schools. so if got MP as guest of honour, definitely must have performance. 

so my wushu team is involved in the performance. the performance very simple one, only 30 seconds. and there are six students performing, 3 from my wushu team, and 3 pri 1 students from the neighbour sch. must have collaboration between two schools because it is our official sch opening as a community school.


so if u have realised, i am not involved in the performance. but then on tuesday, there was a full dress rehearsal. and my wushu star student who can do a back flip, could not attend the rehearsal because he was on mc. then my pe HOD a bit gan jiong and ask me to stand in for him so that batman and the neighbour sch's P can see how the feel is like with six pple. -.-'''


being such a nice person of course i agreed. so i quickly learnt the routine from my students. 30 seconds, very easy to learn. hahahaha. and the full dress rehearsal started. and then ended.


and next min, the science HOD and art & craft HOD walked towards me.


art HOD: "eh 你们今天表演得很好 leh. 发生什么事情啊?" (last week's rehearsal my students screwed up.)


science HOD: "yah lor, with you inside, the feel is really different. on that day can you perform a not?"


so yah, the outcome is clear, and the rest is history.


but it was fun performing! the primary 1 students are very very cute! my female students were totally obsessed with the two pri 1 boys.


the boy in red is my star student who can do a back flip. he is only sec 1! the boy in yellow beside him is the captain. and you see another boy standing in between me and the captain? batman called him a kung fu panda. hahahahahaha.


the pri sch chinese dancers were very cute too. they are now in primary 4.






the purple performers! haha. 4 of them are in my form class! the dancer on the extreme left is the very flexible dancer.


the GOH was supposed to arrive at 1030, but we have to standby at our respective positions at 930. so while waiting for the GOH, the pri sch dancers ask me 欠扁问答题. and then my colleague who is a chinese teacher also joined in the fun. 


let me share with you one of the questions:
