1st day of march hols
i woke up at 9 am today, grinning to myself, because i do not need to wake up at 6 am. it is the march hols! and i am going to have an awesome day with darling!
i refuse to tell myself that i still need to go back to sch on tue, bring students to ngee ann city for external performance on wed and friday, and bring students to a girls' sch in the east for health related workshop on saturday. so much for the march hols.
ok let's talk about today's outing.
first, we had jap buffet lunch at a jap restaurant at miramar hotel.
random photo. hahahaha.
after the sumptous lunch, we went to orchard. darling went to far east to cut hair. i went to ngee ann city to check out the stage for the external performance.
presenting to you, darling's new hairstyle (and also her shortest ever hairstyle):
pretty right? :p
and then we went to sentosa, to enjoy a spa treatment at this place called spa republic at festive hotel. we reached sentosa quite early, so we went to the transformers exhibition.
gigantic optimus prime!
this is so cool!
bumblebee cute version
i wanted to buy this very cute bumblebee water bottle, but upon knowing its price, which is $28.80, i decided to give it a miss.
the massage at spa republic was really great! but darling prefer the dessert to the massage. the dessert was warm barley soup with some pieces of winter melon.
cheers to the monday of march holidays! :)

saturday post
went to marina bay sands with darling! finally some quality time together, after so long~
we drank atas tea at TWG.
oops sorry darling for "chopping" the top part of your head.
i look like i have lost weight in this photo. probably because of the speech day preparations. robin #1 said that i look very stressed up for the past few days and tell me to relax myself. yesterday she treated me and eudora (the only music teacher at my workplace, the show choir teacher in-charge, and also my arts comm 2IC) at sakae sushi for lunch. hahahahaha.
the word Metamorphosis keeps appearing on facebook. looks like i have left behind another legacy. :p

speech day 2012
this year's theme is BE THE CHANGE.
hence i choreographed the item Metamorphosis. and here's the synopsis that i wrote:
In resonance with this year’s theme, ‘BE THE CHANGE’, we have a combined dance item, titled ‘Metamorphosis’. This dance comprises of students from the following performing arts CCAs: Modern Chinese Dance, Malay Dance, Dance Dynamics and English Drama.
‘Metamorphosis’ showcases the dynamic journey of these students in going through stages of confusion,
struggles, finding themselves, and finally in BECOMING THE CHANGE.
Please embark on this remarkable journey together with the students in ‘Metamorphosis’.
and i went up on stage, not to perform, but to receive the outstanding contribution award. here's the write-up of myself (that is of course not written by me):
Mr. Tan Y_ _ _ y _ n has value-added the school’s Strategic Thrust 2, Quality School Experience. As the Artistic director of 25th Anniversary Performance Night, he conceptualized the performance by integrating the various elements of the school’s performing arts groups into a performance. He led the Arts committee and worked with the respective teachers to spur the students to a high level of performance. Throughout the preparations, he embodied the school’s shared values. The success of the Performance Night was due to the cooperation and teamwork of more than 100 students and 20 teachers towards a shared goal. Though the training sessions were grueling, students persevered and brushed up their level of performance.
真的写的很好 leh... 我真的有这样好吗?
finally its over... glad that both teachers and students like the item. my pe colleagues say they can spot a few of my trademark moves in the dance. hahahahaha.
thank you dancers! :)

wednesday post
my workplace canteen has a mini stage, and this week is the lunchtime performances, held for the very first time. the purpose of holding this lunchtime performance is to promote arts and culture.
all the performing arts ccas get to perform. today's performance showcases dance dynamics, english drama and participants from a talentime competition.
will you like to guess what english drama did? they did a performance called "masking", meaning they put on masks, and use their body movements to convey their feelings and message to the audience.
and will you like to guess what are they conveying? they are conveying the 7 deadly sins. hahaha. not all 7 lah. they had 3 items: Sloth; Greed; Pride + Wrath
tomorrow will be show choir and malay dance! :)

leap year post
today is 29th Feb 2012!
this afternoon we had IT training.
we learnt how to set up a LIVE classroom, so that we can conduct lessons LIVE, from the comfort of our home, and our class of 40 students can also "attend" the lesson, from the comfort of their homes.
one of the most fun IT training we ever had. hahahahahahahaha.

what i actually do
.png)
for the media, i actually want to put a picture of a toilet with a pinhole camera. or any indecent acts. because the media, especially the newpaper, always like to put the spotlight on male teachers who committed indecent acts, labelling the teaching profession as immoral, unprofessional and all the blah blah.
but they can't seem to realise that out of 40,000 teachers in this world, there are bound to have bad apples that spoil the teaching profession.
they don't put the spotlight on teachers who really go all out to make a difference for the students. they don't put the spotlight on the MRS CHONGs (the photo at the top right hand corner). they don't give recognition to teachers who give out their all in engaging students, in ensuring quality teaching & learning takes place in the classroom, and providing a quality school experience for the students.
the teaching profession is coming under alot of scrutiny, is all thanks to the pointless local media. i am disappointed, and disheartened.
on a light note, mr nzj, or anyone, please do not publicise this blog post. thank you~
