wednesday post

haven't been blogging lately, because i am busy in running the national examinations at my workplace. it is a huge responsibility and can be overwhelming at times. but luckily i have a colleague to share the burden with me. :)

its already 31st october. 11 more days to my birthday! i can't really celebrate my birthday on the actual day, because i have work to do. i am the wedding emcee for darling's sister! as in her sister is getting married on 11 november, and her sister got both of us to be her emcees. 

it may seem kinda sad that my birthday got burnt, but there is a chinese saying: "塞翁失马，焉知非福。" 

the sucky thing is my birthday got burnt (but i must really really stress that i am totally ok to be darling's sister's wedding emcee, and i really really nv have any hard feelings towards darling's sister!).  but the good thing is that her sister got a room for me and darling to spend the night! so i can still celebrate my birthday with darling after the wedding dinner! hence it is still not too bad after all.

on 18 nov i am celebrating with my family at a restaurant that serves spanish food! 

so is brotherhood doing any celebration party for me? hahahahahaha. :p

6th Year Anniversary Celebration

this week darling is holding on to the hospital on call phone. and she is also a bit sick, so our celebration was really a simple affair. 

yesterday, we had home cooked bak kut teh for dinner at her house. this morning we went to ntuc to buy groceries for breakfast. we made mushroom omelette. we watched two running man episodes. and then i went home after lunch to rest, because i have tuition in the evening.

here's the 2 collages that darling made! :)

Last Day of School

today is the last day of school for the sec 1s and sec 2s. 

and this is also my last day as form teacher of 2E1 2012. i have been their form teacher for 2 years. 

i really did not do anything much for them, because of my heavy involvement in the workplace's arts related events. hence they are very independent and take the initiative to solve problems because i was always not around. haha.

so for the last day, i gave out their report books. i also bought prizes for 7 students, because they are in the top 10 of the whole level. and then we had a pizza party at the canteen. :)

 my co-form, miss yu. she is from taiwan!

chu ken, the top student from my class, also top in level, for two consecutive years. so proud of him. :)

cheryl, on my right, is my welfare ic. and she got 2nd in class and 2nd in level! chau li, on the extreme right is my chairperson. very efficient and responsible girl. also did very well in the exams. she got 9th in level!

audrey yong, from 2E3, who also happen to have a pizza party at the canteen. she is one of the more prominent and better dancers. she was my make-up ic for Metamorphosis!

miss chua, the form teacher of 2E3. also a dancer, also in arts comm (she is my 2IC), and also my partner in running the o level examinations.

a facebook post from one of my 2E1 students:

I would like to give a very very VERY BIG thankyou to Mr Cher Tan Yuanyan for tolerating 

my egoistic and crazy personality and being able to withstand the notorious, 2E1. And as 

well for Ms Yu Hsin Ju, her beautiful sweet smile & kind heart that never fails to flourish. 

Now without a doubt, this class is full of ups and more likely downs but the bond and 

connection that we all have, I admit is very strong. Everyone isn't perfect so I would like 

to apologize for my wrong doings and etc etc :p I'LL MISS YOU GUYS AND I HOPE FOR 

AN AMAZING HOLIDAY AWAITING ALL OF YOU, INCLUDING MR TAN AND MS YU. may 

all of you be happy and healthy :)


so sweet of her. :)

all the best to all my 2E1 students, and hope you get your desired streaming combination!

for those who played 金庸群侠传 when you were in secondary school:

Teach. You can make a difference.

I am given many titles. They say I am like a mentor, philosopher and guide.

Sometimes a coach, a counsellor, a leader - motivating, instilling hope.

I differentiate between right and wrong, good and bad, creating unity in diversity.

I am tenacious. I never let anyone give up because I never do. 

I am the wind beneath the wings, the spring behind the leap. 

I provide equal opportunity, encourage curiosity and different points of view. 

I develop unique individuals, helping them to discover their passion. 

But more than just shaping the future of an individual, I help shape the future of our nation.

I am a teacher.

Teach. You can make a difference.

show choir celebration party @ vibez studio

the long awaited celebration party, for winning the champion in the Singapore Inter-School Show Choir Challenge 2012. 

after the buffet reception, we had a make-up workshop, whereby professionals teach us how to put on stage make-up. the make-up workshop is one of the prizes for winning the champion. 

the president kenna saboh-ed to be the model.

before

after! only half of the face is being put on make-up. can see the difference?

now is the guy who kenna saboh-ed.

hahahahahahahaha.

wah! super fierce!

i think we got the 兄妹 look. 

thank you RnM for letting us use vibez studio! enjoy the atas mochi sweets! :)

everybody so happy! (because final year exams are over!!!)

EPL Masters Football Singapore Cup

was at the indoor stadium in the evening with darling and 2 of my soccer friends, to watch the EPL Masters Football Singapore Cup.

it is a tournament made of 4 teams - Man U, Liverpool, EPL All Stars and Singapore. and all the players are uncles, with an average age of 38. hahahaha. 

it is great to see the soccer stars in real person! andy cole, ronny johnsen, steve McManaman, robbie fowler, patrik berger, tore andre flo, pierre van hooijdonk. omg i am star struck.

also not forgetting our local soccer heroes: fandi ahmad, v sundramoorthy, lim tong hai, malek awab, nasri nazir, abbas saad, rafi ali, etc etc.

the matches were not very entertaining... maybe the soccer stars dun want to be too competitive as they dun want to risk themselves getting injured, especially when they are approaching their 40s. fandi ahmad is 50 and malek awab is 51! omg. 

friday post

today is the last day of school for the graduating students. 

the school organised a graduation ceremony for them, and even had a lunch reception. super effort! :)

i am not the form teacher of any of the graduating classes, but i was there because i have to give the o level briefing to the graduating students. 

still got some more photos but the students haven upload them yet. hahaha. 

please study hard, take good care of yourselves, and dun pull any stunt during the o level examination. thank you~
