a Mega NUSCD Gathering was organised by mummy at her house, to commemorate DLS and ZLS ten years of service as resident choreographer and technique tutor. first, let's talk about the food. it is one of the best buffet spread i have seen. i love the baked scallops!!! and the laksa! mummy knows that i love scallops so she ordered that. :) the Avengers + myself + fiancee reached the place early to do some setting up. we have the artistic director xuehong and the technical director nzj. with the two of them around, gatherings can never ever go wrong, in terms of fun-filled and high-tech activities. hahahaha. ok let's fast forward to the games! basically all of us are divided into 3 groups. for the first game, each group have to dance the steps that were being played on the laptop, and the other two groups must guess the dance title. the second game was more hysterical. xuehong chose some dance pose photos, and we have to copy exactly the dance pose. even if there's arms or hands that are lurking at the far corner, also have to copy that. we are very strict and professional. hahahahaha.
my group had the honour to do the most difficult poses. all thanks to unlucky me who chose the most challenging folder. but i think xuehong is very nice already, because there are still more challenging poses:
if the group has to do this it is really ultimate. hahahahahaha.
imagine someone has to hold the legs in the same position as fav xinyi. hahahahahaha. and please take a look at the very awesome video collage done by nzj, showcasing 10 years of nuscd glory, together with a chinese ethnic remix of oppa gangnam style. i am still sending him photos at 1215 pm when i am supposed to pick him and xuehong up at 1250 pm. :p
and because today's theme is bollywood + gangnam style, so this is what the fiance and fiancee are dressed in:
thank you to my younger sis for getting us this couple tees from taiwan! :) i feel really great this few days because life is so fun and so meaningful! thank you everyone for the wonderful company!!!

M Hotel gave me a birthday cake to celebrate my birthday! so nice of Jocelyn to get this for me. :) i am still being immersed in the double celebration atmosphere. i feel so blissed!!!
hello readers!!! it's been too long!!! the reason why i never update my blog for a week is because i want to keep a low profile, to prepare for one of the most important events of my life... [THE WEDDING PROPOSAL TO MY DARLING] so it all started when i watched Mission Impossible IV: Ghost Protocol. i got really inspired by the movie and wanted to do a Mission Impossible 5, and immediately thought of linking MI5 with the wedding proposal. so of course i must assemble a team of secret agents, who are capable of producing special effects, flexible and adaptable to changes, and able to tell white lies with a straight face, etc etc... and then a few months after that, i became a huge fan of Running Man, so i decided to combine MI5 together with Running Man, to produce the most happening, interesting and exciting Wedding Proposal of year 2012! without further ado, let me introduce my team of Avengers:
the planning started a few weeks ago, whereby i created a facebook group and invited the Avengers in, to brief them on the instructions. on my part, i bought the engagement ring, prepared the props for 10 November, and even went for video shoot. hohoho. 4 November 2012 - Video shoot with xuehong and nzj. you can watch the hilarious video below. hahahahahaha.
9 November 2012 - Went to woodlands to meet gorgeous grace to try out the camera. nzj borrowed 2 cameras from his friend, and i must say that the cameras' footage is really very clear! thank you nzj!
10 November 2012: darling was supposed to meet up with the woodlanders (jingwen, grace and hw), nzj and fen to come to my house to give me a birthday surprise. but actually it was a wedding proposal that i planned for her. kudos to the 5 Avengers for executing the job as Double Agents perfectly! that is why they are Avengers calibre. hahahahaha. so darling met up with woodlanders at 6 pm, while i met up with my kidnappers at 630 pm. drove the kidnappers to ke7 satellite carpark, and we start to prepare the mission area.
the super professional kidnappers/station masters and while we are preparing, the woodlanders contingent already reach my house, and they were shocked that i am not at home, and they were also shocked that they din see nzj and fen, and they cant even contact any of us. hoho. the kidnappers left an envelope for darling, which contains my laptop's user name and password. darling must watch the video on my laptop to guess where i am held captive. the video contains some clues.
that's the clue! the photo collage!
still unsure of the clue so darling got hw to help. both are deep in thought...
still confirming the exact location of where i am held captive. hahahaha. after my house, the next location that they have to go is actually ke7 satellite carpark.
all the photos are taken at ke7, where both of us first met each other. and the satellite dish is the most obvious clue!
at ke7 satellite carpark, darling has 2 missions. mission #1: she must recall something memorable i did for her on a special occasion, at the satellite carpark when we were still staying in hall. and after she recalled it correctly, she must do exactly the same thing and take a picture with it! mission #2: she must find 8 photos that are hidden around the carpark, and at the back of 8 photos there are numbers, that will lead darling to the next location!
i made a heart shape using sparkles on that special occasion. but i only made a very small one. they made a super large one hence very smokey. super ambitious!
behind each photo there is a number. so the numbers on the 8 photos are: 1, 1, 1, 3. 6. 6. 8, 8. these numbers are actually darling's address. hahahahaha. i shall not say the address here if not she kenna stalked. :p and off they go to darling's house! at darling's house is towards the end of the whole proposal already. before she step in, nzj will pass his ipad to her, and inside the ipad there is a video of me saying touching words to her. she nearly teared. :)
and then she went into the house, went to the bedroom, and i shall fast forward to the very end, whereby i popped the question, she didnt say yes, but she nodded her head. hahahahahahaha.
and to top it off, they prepared a birthday cake for me! peach jelly cheesecake from cheesecake cafe! together with a striking red adidas watch! thank you everyone! it is really a great double celebration!!! woodlanders + brotherhood rocks big time!!!
two weeks of O level exams have passed. and we encountered a few abnormalities. the first abnormality that i encountered is that a candidate has suspected hand foot mouth disease. he only arrived at the hall 10 minutes before the paper, together with his mum. and he showed me his arm and hands and to my shock there were quite a few spots and small blisters. so i had to put him inside an isolation room and i invigilated him for the whole two hour duration of the paper. after the paper he went to see the doctor, and it was confirmed that he have hand foot mouth disease. the second abnormality was that a candidate was hospitalised. so we have to make arrangements for the country's examination board to send an invigilator with the exam papers to her ward to let her take the exams. and the third abnormality was the most scary one, because there was a blackout in the hall!!! luckily it was a morning paper with abundant sunlight. everybody gasped when all the lights and fans were turned off, and i have to shout to them to carry on doing their papers while i rush out to the hall to call my operations manager. my operations manager also dunno what's the problem and he has to call the electrical technician to come down. thank goodness the blackout lasted for ten minutes and the fans and lights were on again. hope next two weeks will be 平平安安，顺顺利利。
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
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! :)
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!
