thursday post

i had my final pe lesson with my form class, and for their final pe lesson they have to present a gymnastics sequence, based on what i had taught them. 


so these are my criteria for the gymnastics sequence:
- must have locomotion (walk, run, jump, skip, hop)
- must have pathways (straight, zig zag, curved)
- must have the 4 basic shapes (long, wall, ball, twisted)
- must have the 4 basic rolls (puppy, log, forward, backward)
- must have cartwheel
- must have a finale pose
- duration is 1 to 2 min


of course they can choose their own music. 


without further ado, let me introduce the groups:

Group Name: Racial Harmony (originally they call themselves Malay United because the group has only malay boys. being their form teacher of course i must encourage racial harmony so i persuaded/forced two chinese boys to join their group.)


Song: Secrets by One Republic

Group Name: Alfred and the chipmunks (this name was thought by yours truly and the rest of the group members immediately agreed to it except for Alfred. hahahahahaha.)


Song: Bad Day (chipmunks version)

Group Name: Cute Carrot Cake (this was from them. i play no part in this.)


Song: Halo and Walking on sunshine (Glee version)

Group name: Alpha One (i think they want to get A1s for their exams...)


Song: some japanese anime soundtrack

Group Name: Two Tigers (because two of them born in year of tiger, one born in year of ox, one born in year of mouse, so majority wins...)


Song: roly poly

Group Name: Dirty Heroes (their gym sequence consists of superman and spiderman actions. dirty because of obvious reasons, and at such a young age, i worry for them...)


Song: An Bu Neh Neh (there is really such a song! it is damn funny! i gave them the highest grade because they are really outstanding, and together with the humour element in the song, really win the other groups. hahaha.)

Group Name: Twilight (their theme is on zombies... at the start of the sequence one is human being and the rest are zombies. then at the end of the sequence the human being kenna attacked by the zombies and the human being also became a zombie... seriously wassup with them... shouldnt the human being save them and all become human beings and live happily ever after??!!)


Song: Run the World by Beyonce


----------------------------------------------------------------------


cannot expect them to do a super professional gym sequence, and they really have all the elements that i wanted, so i am really very very proud of them, and at least they dared to move and they enjoyed it! because alot of students are very shy when it comes to movement education and they will feel awkward... but thank goodness everybody in my form class all very onz. :)


i am glad that i managed to inculcate the "performing" culture in them. hahahaahaha. and i think the "lameness" culture too, judging by some of the group names. :p


btw watch this gym sequence. this is really ZAI!!!

weekend post

watched this with darling on saturday at plaza sing.

it is a damn hilarious movie, and i laugh until my stomach had cramps. it has been quite a while since i laughed so long and so hard. haha.

though being funny, the movie is quite racist, making asian look stupid and johnny english (the ang mor) look wise. for example the asian need to do all those parkour stunts to get over to the other side of the gate and the ang mor just need to open the gate which is not locked. and the asian need to climb ten storeys of ladders down while the ang mor just need to take the lift down. if you watched the movie you will know what i meant. if you havent please go and watch! :p

two more weeks to the performance! btw for those who dunno, i am dancing in 3 items. item 1 is a reused item and i just need to take a umbrella, jump around like a happy lunatic, do some partner work with darling, then at the end i got a super BOOMZ lift with mummy. item 2 is choreographed by xue hong whereby i am a high class scholar and my lover is going to the palace to become the horny emperor's concubine and i am super sad about it. item 3 is also another reused item which is the very very famous yellow river, super duper siong item, roll here and there, jump here and there, and the most stressful thing is have to dance with 7 [bravo delta academy] dancers. siao liao lor they sure will snatch all the attention from us with their brilliant technique. but our spirits must not be dampened! hahahahaha.

for those who interested to watch you can buy tickets from me! :)

saturday post

 

went to run 10 km for the above event (if you can see the words on the medal). only 4 pple from my workplace signed up for 10 km, including batman, but batman din come because he said he got flu. :p

anyway my timing is 54 min 01 seconds. not too bad lah, taking into account that i super long nv run already

in the evening went to pan pacific hotel for my friend's wedding dinner. ate too much and now got diarrhoea. sian ah...

napfa warrior

my pe dept conducted napfa warrior 2011, inspired from the gameshow ninja warrior. of course the napfa warrior is the super small scale one lah as compared to ninja warrior. anyway the napfa warrior is for students who scored the full 30 points for their napfa test.


stations for the napfa test:


1) modified shuttle run

2) modified obstacle course

(i am the station master for this station)


3) leg raise

after doing this they have to run 500 metres to do station 4.


4) modified monkey bar

 and then run 500 metres again to do station 5.


5) sit-ups with medicine ball

6) the final station - long jump

photos of ACES DAY!

look at how much i am perspiring~ :p

and look at how much my students are enjoying:

actually all these are 假象. not everybody is receptive towards dance. especially my upper sec students. about half of them just stand there, fold their arms, and refuse to budge.

bolton 0 manchester united 5

i watched the match highlights on youtube.

what impressed me most is not the goals scored, or how good the manchester united players are.

it is actually this:

if you still dunno wat i mean, see this:

how the person create such effect ah? nzj you have any idea?

saturday post

met darling at orchard, and we had our dinner at the teppanyaki store at wisma food republic. the last time we ate teppanyaki was dunno how many years ago, at tampines mall.


and then we went to buy mooncakes at takashimaya to bring to fen and nzj's house for the mooncake party. just a word of caution to everyone~ if you use uob or dbs credit card to make purchase at heartland shopping centres like century square, tampines mall, lot 1, etc etc, you get 15% discount. but if you use the same credit card at takashimaya, NO DISCOUNT! wassup... feel so cheated. 

but anyway i bought the assorted snowskin mooncakes from goodwood park. that time darling bought them for my family and its really very nice! mummy (the nuscd one, not my flesh and blood mummy) bought 猫山王 durian mooncake from 4 seasons! that one is super power too!


and there were also many food: potato chips, tiong bahru chwee kueh, agar agar, pomelo, lim chee guan bak kwa, mauritian mooncake, chinese tea... eat until very full. hahaha.


the finale of the party was the playing of taboo! playing taboo with the nuscd pple is really very fun. last year when i played taboo with hw, fen, nzj and hz at hong kong, we have to use the word "prostitute". this time we make it more interesting by using "bravo delta alpha". i cannot be so explicit but i guess this should be explicit enough? hahahaha. 

 

thank you fen and nzj for being so hospitable. and thank you for decorating your house so nice to fit the theme of the mooncake party. :)

the last 2 days of sept holidays
