istana open house on deepavali
the workplace's wind ensemble is invited to perform at istana today. kudos to the teachers and students who burnt their deepavali holiday to perform at this significant event.
as the head of performing arts in the workplace, of course i must go down and support them. when i drove past istana at around 1030 am, i got a shock at the super long queue...
this was at the main entrance of istana.
and the queue extends all the way to plaza singapura. zzz...
i parked the car at the cathay, and went to join the queue. to my surprise, i saw my colleague, julie koh, who was already queuing near the istana main entrance, with her friend. i eagerly walked to her and asked her whether i can queue with her.
and guess what? she already told an usher that she is a teacher from the workplace, and whether the usher can bring her straight into the istana because the wind ensemble is performing soon. and one min later, the usher's superior appeared, and brought us straight to the main entrance! at that time there were like 100 pple queuing in front of us. bravo!! kudos to julie koh!
after doing the routine security check, we were in the grounds of istana. however the performance area was pretty far from where we are, and it was raining. julie koh did another ultimate. she approached a guy sitting on a buggy, and asked him whether he can give us a ride to the performance area. the guy agreed!!! omg. julie koh saved the day again.
feeling extremely thankful to julie, and of course the usher and buggy driver. if it wasn't for them, i would have missed the performance. julie FTW! (her friend told me that when they were travelling together in LA, they are going to the airport and they are already late and they can't get a cab. julie went to a sheriff and asked him whether he can fetch them to the airport. and the sheriff agreed!!! the sheriff even on the police car siren so that all the cars make way, and they arrived at the airport just in time to catch the flight.)
julie is the subject head of chemistry in the workplace, who is well known for being sarcastic and over-demanding. today i see her in a different light. #veryimpressed

east zone sports carnival
my sat morning was spent at st hilda's, for the east zone sports carnival. east zone sports carnival is a platform for lower sec students from non sports CCAs to represent the sch in sports tournaments. so for example, you can imagine dance students playing handball, AVA students playing floorball, and uniformed group students playing football.
the handball girls team, consisting of students from chinese dance, dance dynamics and english drama!
the floorball girls team, consisting of students from chinese dance, dance dynamics, photography club and st john ambulance brigade.
the floorball boys! they got 4th!
the handball boys! they got 1st! so proud of them. :)
kudos to all the teachers who spent their precious sat morning with the kids. my hod most ultimate because he wear sandals. haha.

monday post
for the past two weeks i have been monitoring the hk riots on the tv news, newspapers, facebook, twitter and instagram. reason being that i am bringing a group of 24 students to hk on 27 oct, for a cultural arts immersion program.
the hk riots are not getting any better, and unfortunately, on last saturday, the sch has decided to cancel the trip. and hence i had to announce this to the 24 students, who are really very nice students, and they really deserve to go for this trip. out of the 24 students, 8 are on financial assistance scheme, and they have never took an aeroplane ride before, and they are really looking forward to this trip more than anyone else.
my heart pains when i saw the 24 crestfallen faces. this has to be the lowest point of my teaching career.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
tonight i went to scdf hq with some of my colleagues and other schs' teaching friends to play netball with the scdf team. although we got thrashed by them, it was a great platform for me to vent my unhappiness, and i felt better after the game.
thank you everyone! you guys are awesome team mates!

netball match with the alumni
what i love about exams is that we actually have some time to play sports, and we also have the venue, because on normal school days, the venues are always being used for the various sports CCA training.
we had a netball friendly match with the alumni netballers!
comic strip:
我挡!!!

heng ahhhh 没有进. hahahahaha.
the teachers! mixture of the teachers from my workplace and teachers from other schools. all connected by our love for sports! :)

Children's Day gathering
during my era, children's day was held on 1st October. in the modern era, children's day is on the first friday of october, so the pri sch pupils and teachers will celebrate children's day on thursday, and friday will be a holiday for them. hence this year the pri sch pupils and teachers have a super long weekend - fri which is children's day, and the following monday which is hari raya haji! #feelingenvious
actually the focus of this blog post is on my pe classmates. we always try to have a gathering every year, preferably through sports and games, so that we can play together to relive our memories back in NIE. the two years in NIE is really the best time of my life.
for our batch there were two classes of pe teachers. i belong to class 3A, consisting of the science and maths teachers. 3B consists of the english and humanities teachers. hence me and my classmates are deemed as the more 脚踏实地, logical and rational teachers, whereas the teachers from 3B are more 色彩缤纷, creative and vibrant.
but if you ask me honestly, i think i have both left brain and right brain characteristics. so i think i am a bit unique as compared to my 3A classmates, which you can see later on. hahahahaha.
ok back to the gathering! i hosted the gathering at my workplace, and we played volleyball. i also ordered some food and drinks for the gathering. this gathering was held to celebrate witty's birthday (which is 1st october) and huifen winning the asian netball champion. mel prepared children's day gifts for us also!
9 of us turned up for this gathering, and special mention goes to KC (who stays in bukit panjang) and huifen (who stays in yishun) for travelling all the way down to tampines.
this photo taken by me! :)
now you know why i am unique compared to my classmates. but still i must clarify that i really really forgot to bring my class tee! it is not that i deliberately want to be special.
happy birthday witty! cake from awfully chocolate, bought by jieyun.
looking forward to the next gathering!
