trip to southern ridges (again) + learning journey to 3M

in the morning, my sch's science department went for a walk at the southern ridges for a department retreat. after the walk we did some "serious work" at vivocity. after the "serious work" we were given free time to shop because some of us are not in smart casual attire for the 3M visit later. and i saw ah yam at national geographic cafe. 冤家路窄.

my 3rd time here. hahahaha.


as we were about to leave southern ridges i ask my colleagues to do a jump shot! hahaha. but not everyone is onz to do. so let's see who are the onz ones in my department. :p

from the left to the right:
weilun - physics teacher, ncdcc OC
victor - HOD science
myself - need no introduction
julie - SH chemistry
rene - HOD IT
hafiz - DM


actually this is only midway through the jump for most of us. let me show u the highest point of the jump.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------


in the afternoon half of the sch's teachers went for a learning journey at 3M. the other half went to carrefour last friday. at 3M we were introduced to 3M's innovation enterprise, and some of their products.

whose sexy butt is that?

3M makes the tape for the erp cash card machine to stick on the car window.


so what does 3M stand for? Make More Money. nah just kidding. figure out yourself. hahahaha.

birthday celebration part 4

and it is cake overdose again, from coffee bean!

baozhen's birthday was on 3rd nov. or isit 4th? shit i forgot! pls dun kill me! :p


thank you everyone for the celebration! and the wonderful dinner!

the most awesome passport

my student is very creative. i will prefer his creativity to my 9-year-old cousins saying panties and vagina.

my grandpa's birthday

today is my grandpa's birthday. ok actually wat i wanna blog in this post is not really about my grandpa's birthday. but of course must show him some honourable mention, since he is my grandpa, without him, my pa wun exist, and without my pa i wun exist too, so grandpa, happy _ _ th birthday! may you be blessed with good health!


i actually want to blog about my cousins, who are in primary 3. at such a young age, and yet the words that come out of their mouth are... tsk tsk. simply unimaginable.


let me give you some examples, starting with the most mild ones:


cousin A: you have DS? (he is referring to the nintendo DS)


me: dun have lah.


cousin A: you got no Digestive System.


(crow fly past)


cousin A: you got PSP?


me: yes! (thinking that wun kenna something stupid)

cousin A: hor hor you got Pang Sai Problem.


(3 crows fly past...)


cousin A: what does OCBC stand for?


me: Overseas Chinese Banking Corp.


cousin A: wrong. it stands for Ob_m_'s Cock Black Colour


me:..........................................


primary 3 leh! wassup!


and then cousin A and cousin B suddenly start to have a bickering session, and the way they bicker make hw and grace tiang seem like angels from heaven.


cousin A: you go kiss madonna's boobs!


cousin B: you go kiss lady gaga's boobs!


cousin A: you go kiss lady gaga's panties!


cousin B: you go kiss her vagina! 


?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ALL THESE COME FROM TWO 9-YEAR-OLD KIDS?! WASSUP?!


and i also found out that they have facebook. even the 7-year-old cousin also have his own facebook account. when i was 7 years old i play catching at playground. i play soccer at void deck. i play monkey bar and crocodile at the sch field during recess. now my cousins go to facebook, watch videos on youtube, play games on iphone. 


时代真的不同了... ...

birthday celebration part 3

part 3 is with my family. we ate at jang shou korean bbq. my second time there (first time was with darling), but it is definitely the first for the rest of my family members.


the kimchi taste awesome. the different types of meat taste awesome. the fruits are fresh and sweet. and the water is nice to drink. hahahahahaha.


oh my younger sis bf came too, and he gave me a ang bao. i was a bit shocked because both of us are same age, but he assured me that inside is not money, it is voucher.


all right, i am going to show you all my awesome birthday cake, bought by my little sis.

lychee martini cake, from pine gardens! taste damn awesome!


oh yah still got another cake, given by 3 female students:

d24 durian cake! bought from emicakes at tampines 1. :)


wah this year's birthday really have cake overdose. hahahaha. but of course i am not complaining.


thank you everyone for the birthday wishes through sms, msn and facebook!


thank you leow chee leong and mak hongsen for the singtel voucher! now i feel like getting nokia N8, instead of sony ericsson. haha.


thank you younger sis bf for the sportslink voucher!


thank you dad and mum for the big ang bao! 


this year's bday is the best birthday throughout the 27 years!

birthday celebration part 2

on my birthday i still need to go to sch to teach. *yawnzzz*


but thank goodness it is only one hour, and the class is also my form class, so it is not that bad after all. when i reach my table i saw a winnie the pooh figurine, which was from mdm su, who teaches chinese and also the wushu teacher overall in-charge. :)


later on i received a box of chocolates from my chemistry CT, who is also my mentor. and then a box of famous amos cookies from eudora, who teaches music. :)

later on my sch DM came into the staffroom, and my chemistry mentor told him it is my birthday, so he used his loud booming voice in the whole staffroom to announce to everyone. hahahaha. and my colleagues start to come to me one by one to wish me. awesome colleagues i have! :)


the best surprise is from my form class. their lessons end at 1230 and they ask me to go the classroom after 1230. but when i was approaching the classroom, a few of my students stopped me and said that the "preparation" is not ready and they brought me to the staircase and asked me to wait there first. so after about 15 minutes, they blindfolded me and guide me to the classroom. 


and when they uncovered my eyes, behold:

awwwww~ my form class is just so sweet~


peishi (the jumping jewel) made an A4 size card for me, and the whole class wrote the birthday wishes into the card.

gay also means happy!

so sweet~ :)


and here are my other presents:

a mug again! hahahaha. from the noisy korean student.

adidas jersey! from the plump student who thinks like hw and talks like hw.

she was the one who chose this jersey. the plump student paid for the jersey. 


i also received cards from individual students, and the words written in this card are extremely ( ________ ) ... i dunno wat word to use, because i wonder am i really that significant or important to deserve such praises.


here goes:

God gave a gift to the world when you were born. 

A person who loves, who cares, who sees a person's need and fills it, who encourages and lifts people up, who spends energy on others rather than himself, someone who touches each life he enters, and make a difference in the world, because ripples of kindness flow outward as each person you have touched, touches others.

Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday (wahhhh serious ah), because you are a special treasure for all that you have done.

May the love you have shown to others return to you, multiplied.

I wish you the happiest of birthdays, and many many more, so that others have time to appreciate you as much as i do.

-------------------------------------------------------


thank you student, for your recognition. :)


thank you colleagues and students, for making birthday celebration part 2 so memorable. :)

birthday celebration part 1

part 1 was on 10th november. i was meeting darling at causeway point for dinner. then at around 7 pm, darling smsed me that she also invited hw, chio outdoor enthusiast and gorgeous grace! wow! that was really a big surprise for me! :)


but chio outdoor enthusiast and gorgeous grace were not able to make it for dinner cos they were still stranded at their workplace. so me, darling and hw had a romantic threesome dinner at dian xiao er. hahahaha. thank you hw for being so willing to be the light bulb.


after dinner the three of us went to gelare to wait for chio outdoor enthusiast and gorgeous grace to join us. they came, and the birthday song was sung, the candle was blown and the cake was cut! haha.

thank you darling for buying the cake~ mango cake from bakerzinn!

my face look so much bigger than darling's face.

group photo~ it has been a long time since our last get-together session!

the cake was cut equally into 5 slices, by myself! grace was very amused, which i also dunno why. hahahaha.




and let me present to you, the usual "couple" doing wat they do best...

yup bickering! grace looks quite entertained by hw's comments.

wah hw bicker until so ji dong.


and then they gave me a present, which is a card! with lots of 肺腑之言. very touched when i read them.

very surprised by the present that they gave me.

so all these above is part 1(a). still got part 1(b).


after part 1(a), me and darling bid farewell to the other 3. jingwen can take the same bus back with us but she dun want to be light bulb. back at darling's house, we finished bathing (we bathe separately at two different toilets ok!!!) and was about to sleep. suddenly darling received a call and quickly ran out of the room. then when she came back to the room she said to me: "dear, 我们可以迟一点才睡吗?"


sensed something suspicious because a few min ago jingwen sms me whether am i staying overnight at darling's place. hahaha. so i ok lor, stay up a while longer lor. and then around 15 min later, 3 guests appeared at darling's doorstep! no prizes for guessing correctly who they are:

the three of them din go home after we left them! they were deciding on how to surprise me at 12 midnight! so they bought a bottle of sparkling juice and champagne plastic glasses from ntuc. and i had the honour to uncock the bottle of sparkling juice. haha! 

thank you everyone for making my birthday so memorable, and staying up so late with me, when you all still have to go to work the next day. i am very touched~


i love you darling~ i (lesser love compared to darling) you hw~  i ( ____________________ ) jingwen and grace! HAHA.

a man who is rich, talented and handsome

i have to share this with everyone:

can anybody think of examples? haha.

weddings~

last thur i went to KC and esther's wedding at grand hyatt. it was the one of the latest weddings i attended. banquet starts at around 850 pm! left the hotel at 1135 pm! many thanks to huifen who fetched me and darling to woodlands. 万分的感动. oh yah i love the wedding video of KC and esther. it is very well made. kudos to that person!


ok let me share a conversation between myself and KC yesterday.


me: yoz, how's married life?


KC: not as interesting as watching your unedited videos. now our friend status drop to acquaintance already.


(OOPPS...)


and then at the end of the conversation when i am going off.


me: ok lah, i going to sleep, MARRIED LIFE RULEZ!


KC: ha ok. good night. let's not meet up anymore.


(so it is true that a man is nv complete without getting married. but he is FINISHED once he is married.)


and yesterday i went to my colleague's wedding at carlton hotel. coincidentally, both my colleague and KC are teachers, and both of them are jcrc presidents of their respective halls. but my colleague's wedding banquet started earlier as compared to KC's. and the nicest part of his wedding is... he hired 3 hot pretty ladies to dance 'nobody' on stage! wow! 


next time when i get married i will ask fen, nzj, ah liang, hw and liang bin to dance 'sorry sorry'. then darling will be the damsel in distress, getting harassed by a villain called leow chee leong. and then i will 吊钢线 and fly in the ballroom, fight and whack the villain, and save darling. darling chose leow chee leong to be the villain because he is learning muay thai, and darling feels that wushu vs muay thai is more exciting. HAHAHAHA.


another wedding banquet this friday, and i heard that got a VVVVVVVIP coming, and his surname is goh. keep guessing!

ippt!

the dreaded day of the year again. (i wonder do i always use this sentence when it comes to blogging about ippt)


sit-up: 41
broad jump: 239
chin-up: 7
shuttle run: 10 seconds (very slow)
2.4 km: 10 min 57 seconds

WOOOOO. i am going to be so broke.

saturday post

yesterday i went to ecp to cycle with some of my students. we cycled from 5 pm to 7 pm, and then we had our dinner at burger king. i only cycled for two hours and i was already very tired at 8 plus so i went home first. and i slept at 10 pm. woke up at 8 am today. 10 hours of sleep! my goodness.

and then after eating lunch, i took a nap for two hours. it must be due to the cooling weather that enabled me to sleep so well.

anyway just being random here. remember last week i brought some of my students to singapore poly for the global citizen challenge? i forgot to show you all the poster, whereby the girl inside the poster is very chio. hahahahaha.

i am going to quote wat flying dutchman from OMG always say: SHE IS A SAVIOUR TO MANKIND.

but i only have one saviour, who is none other than...

(scroll down some more)

ipp + be yourself day!

time flies really really fast. i started teaching in this sch as a trained teacher on 28th june. today is 28th october. and it is the last day of school!


today have two activities. the first one is IPP. and the second one is BE YOURSELF DAY!


let's talk about IPP. IPP stands for In-Place Protection Plan. the purpose of implementing IPP is that during lessons, if some country wage a chemical war on us, then all of us have to seal the classroom using towels, trash bags or whatever stuff so that the poisonous gas wun diffuse into the classroom and kill everyone. must also set up a "toilet corner" in the classroom. and switch off all the lights and fans after sealing the classroom.


i love my form class because all of them are very spontaneous. dun need to give them any instructions. they will just auto-pilot and finish everything in less than 15 minutes. (although i must agree that 15 minutes is a bit too slow. all of us were be dead. haha.)


pictures!

(this looks like a picture taken in a haunted house)

the toilet corner! light stick contributed by yours truly. :p

shitting at the toilet corner

ok the classroom is almost sealed. my students are sitting down and rest. dunno why so many students are crowding at the toilet corner. haha.


so we have to wait... wait... and wait... wait until my OM (operations manager) gives the announcement that IPP is lifted, then we will remove everything and breathe in more oxygen!

yay! 重见天日!




and the next activity of the day, where everyone is looking forward to: BE YOURSELF DAY!


Be Yourself Day is a day where students are encouraged to hang up their school uniforms and dress up creatively to express themselves yet be aware of the school rules and social norms.


let me show you my most creative student. 


THE AMAZING TRANSFORMATION:

looking very normal at this point in time.

wah so serious ah! so many pple put make up ah!

ta da! the mad hatter! 有一点像 rite? hahahaha.

mad hatter taking pic with his group of make-up artistes.


the runway show is held at the indoor sports hall. and every class will nominate a model to represent the class. so naturally, the mad hatter is the representative from my form class.

and i am sure that all of you are wondering that myself being tyy, what am i dressed as? hahahahaha. fret not, i shall disclose the answer very shortly...

.


.

wah hahahahahahaha! that's me! the lady in front of me is my form. 


after all the students did their catwalk, the student emcees start to saboh some teachers to go and do catwalk also. of course, i am one of them being sabohed. hahahaha.

during my catwalk, not only i walked, i also posed, i danced, i did push-ups, i did a cartwheel, and my beret dropped on the ground, i picked up my beret, took off my mask, and threw them at the students. and they were screaming very excitedly. haha. very fun.


the other teachers who kenna sabohed:

aaron, the tall handsome canadian, who can dance like michael jackson. very sad that he is leaving us at the end of the year. :(

the ever popular sufian, popular among students and also teachers!

hafiz, the super fierce discipline master! he can dance very well too! teachers are really hidden talents! haha.


three prizes were given out. best dressed lower sec student, best dressed upper sec student, and best dressed class. very naturally, the best dressed upper sec student goes to the mad hatter from my form class!

batman presenting the prize to mad hatter. he won for himself 50 dollars popular vouchers!


and the best dressed class goes to... 


.




MY FORM CLASS! hahahahaha.


let me show you some of the girls in my form class:

if each class has to nominate two students, i will definitely get the jumping jewel (the girl in the middle) to do the catwalk with mad hatter. 


and we took a class photo to celebrate our victory:

awesome day! and awesome class! :)
