what happens backstage

as the teacher in-charge of any cca, it is very important to establish rapport with your students. you show them your heart, they will give theirs to you. 

here's me, giving them a final briefing, before they go up on stage to perform, to achieve glory for themselves and for the school. :)

happy birthday singapore!

national day was spent at darling's house. we watched running man together, and cooked korean glass noodles for lunch. 

and i got a bad stomach upset after that. supposed to go to fullerton bay hotel for buffet dinner with my family and relatives, but on the way there, my stomach upset got worse, and i decided to go home and rest. thank goodness darling was by my side. 

darling cooked nutritious maggi mee for dinner. she only used one packet of seasoning for two packets of maggi mee! 

inside got egg, tomatoes and big white vegetable! very nutritious isnt it? thank you darling for taking care of me just now. :)

finally, happy birthday singapore! happy to be born here, and happy to be a singaporean. but it will be even better if the cost of living is not that high. :p

national day celebrations at the workplace

this year, for the very first time, we are singing 'reach out for the skies', and also dancing to it, together with the kids from the pri sch next door. 

honestly speaking, having the national day observance ceremony with the pri sch kids is an embarrassment, because it reveals how angelic they are, and how idiotic we are. 

every year, our kids will always be very noisy. every year, i will always have to walk among the crowd and ask all of them to keep quiet. i am not the only one, there are a few teachers who will also do the same. but it is always the same few. 

and the national anthem was being played, they dun sing out loud. the noise level generated from talking is much louder. 

hence when it comes to the dance, the pri sch kids dance with so much happiness and with so much energy. as for our sec sch kids? only the people standing in front did the dance. only my performing arts people did the dance. all my colleagues did the dance. 50% of the students stood there, and stare at me. my heart goes out to them. hope they will try harder next year. 

the outcome of all these behaviour? a 30 minute scolding session by my DM at the end of the national day celebrations. it is sad. really sad. 

ok lah at least take pics make me happier, and also my alumni came back to visit me. 

bdazzled 庆功宴

today we had a 庆功宴 for our achievements in bdazzled 2014. myself and my two instructors and my two teachers in-charge bought 12 large size pizzas for them! and they were gone within a few minutes... such monsters. hahahahaha. 

the ip man craze. hahahaha. 

NDP Preview

in 2012 and 2013, i got two tickets because i was one of the first to respond to my colleague's email that he has ten ndp preview tickets to give away. 

this year i am lucky again to get ndp preview tickets, not from my colleague, but from the balloting by registering through the ndp official website. and i got 4 tickets! initially i gave them to my parents and my two sisters because i have been going for the past two years. but my little sis has a work appointment, and my younger sis is not very gian, so in the end darling and i went with my parents. 

the people from SGAG are always so funny and so creative. hahahaha. 

all of us got the green bag! but i want the pink one... hahahaha.

thank you jerome lim for the nice photos! (i "kar-poh" them from google)

i am surprised that such a 'dark' item can be used for ndp. however there is a storyline to it and everything flows meaningfully after this item. great job to the artistic director mr dick lee, and whoever that came out with this idea! anyway do you know that dick lee was also the artistic director for ndp in 2002 and 2010? this year is his 3rd time being the artistic director. 

this year's visual effects and performance segment were really breathtaking and amazing. better than 2012 and 2013. :)

Inter-CCA Amazing Race

organised by my sec 3 show choir students and sec 3 npcc students. they really did a very good job in organising and carrying out the whole amazing race. i was really impressed by their efforts, and it was heartening to see all the CCAs' students having so much fun in the amazing race. 

basically the amazing race has 8 stations, with different task for each station. once you complete a task at a station, you will be given a puzzle piece. when you collect all 8 pieces, a picture will be formed and you will know which place to go to find the treasure. 

briefing before the start of the race

congrats badminton for getting 1st!!!
