at the previous workplace, we have the parade at the school field, combined together with the staff and students of the neighbour primary school.
over here, we are on our own. the sec 1s and sec 2s are seated at the parade square, whereas the upper sec students are on level 2 and 3 of the school building.
the parade started with the different UG contingents marching into the parade square, followed by the national anthem, that was being played LIVE by the school band.
after that our VP lead us in reciting the pledge, and honestly speaking, this was the loudest pledge that i ever heard from the whole school, throughout my 6 years of teaching. my VP is a very charismatic person and he really recite the pledge with pride and gusto, and all of us followed suit with the same pride and gusto.
and we had the national day concert in the school hall. something special about the concert is... there is a special performance by a few teachers. and yes you guessed correctly, i am one of the teachers. hahahahaha. i finally clocked my first performance in the new workplace. :)
we also had a few dancers among us. gadis and terence were in NIE DanzFusion. shi da was a float dancer in sheares hall. suba performed indian dance for her sister's wedding. so gadis was in malay dance when she was in primary school. we used the Lion King soundtrack, because gadis did a fusion item using song, and this song is apt because singapore is a lion city and so we are the lions in this performance. HAHAHAHA.
gadis choreo-ed the malay dance and hip hop dance. suba choreo-ed the indian dance. and i choreo-ed the chinese dance. actually i did not choreo. i simply used derek's dance steps from the shadow item in 2012. his steps totally blend in with the lion king soundtrack!
actually i was very worried that i will not be able to perform today because my asthma got triggered again on saturday night. it was worse on sunday and darling can hear my loud wheezing in the car. i used my ventolin inhaler like 10 times on sunday and darling found out that it had expired on july 2016. -.-'''
so i decided not to take the risk on my health and i went to see the doctor. and the bill cost me $56!!! darling said sunday go see doctor 比较贵. shag man...
luckily i felt much better on monday morning but before the performance i took two puffs again on the ventolin, just to make myself feel more assured.
and right after that i went back to my previous workplace to play netball with my ex students and ex colleagues. #YOLO
