Children's Day Celebration

P1 students went to Botanic Garden as their Children's day celebration. Had 2 parent volunteers following us. Once we reached there, we had picnic followed by learning trail. the students are required to complete a worksheet in pairs and the answers could be found near swan lake and bonsai garden. After that, there was still time left so they had a 2nd picnic and most of them went for racing as game. 11 plus we got to set off, back to sch.

Colleague's wedding dinner

Novotel hotel at Clarke Quay. First few colleagues to reach there at 7.45pm.

1-Day Johor Getaway & Fireflies Cruise on 8 sept

set off super early tt day for the trip. had to reach golden mile complex by 6.15am so had to take a cab to reach there. after breakfast at coffee shop, we headed to cocoa shop and tasted the chocolate drink. they explained the difference between dark, milk and white chocolate and how they are produced. next, we went to shop selling their local products. thot the tour guide wasnt going to bring us to ostrich farm due to rain. fortunately, we went aft lunch.

at desaru fruit farm, the employee explained fruit types and showed us around. just realised that there are actually 3 types of dragon fruits, the most common ones are the white flesh and i also knew there was the sweeter red-flesh types. the 3rd type is the rarest-it's yellow-skinned. but didnt get to see this type at the farm.

after dinner, what i had been looking fwd came. we got to sit in boat and see fireflies! initially, its still early so we didnt get to see any. as the sky grows darker, we saw them sparkling in bush, making it look like christmas trees. we only got to see them from far as they were all hiding in bush.

next, home sweet home. on the whole, a bit disappointing about the trip cos we spent lots of time on bus rather than sight-seeing.

Teachers' Day

Used to give teachers cards or red pens during teachers' day celebration. used to receive lots of gifts fm students in 2004-my first trs' day. ever since last yr, students are reminded not to buy any gifts for us, except hand-made cards, else we also need to declare the gifts. however, i still receive chocolates and some accessories fm students.

this yr, there are some activities planned for us and i signed up for hip hop dance. enjoyed the dance though my thighs ached the next day. my P5 students planned a party and i knew it beforehand cos one student leaked the info to me. as the concert was delayed by half an hr, their recesses were pushed back by 1 period too. went to the class and they told me to go in later as it was their recess and they haven't prep so i went to sell mid-autumn fest celebration tickets outside canteen. b4 bell rang, 2 students came and told me that monitress fell down and was badly hurt. didnt believe them initially but i din tell them off in case it's really not a prank. hence, i went down with them and after opening the classroom door, they threw confetti. next, they prep a cake and sang happy trs' day song. blew the candle aft wishing them that they do well in exams. cut the cakes for them. they prep lots of food and were happy munching off. think they were more elated on this day as if it was children's day.

joined the afternoon session for activity and concert... i think the best part is the dance performed by P, VP, OM, AM and clerks. indian dance with the tree. missed my P1 MT class...

went home and washed up b4 going back to sch to take the school bus to night safari. had dinner at ulu ulu restaurant there. never heard of this restaurant b4 and initially i thot we were going to hv dinner at ulu place :p had buffet but not much variety, only had fried rice, mee goreng, chicken steamed and roasted, sting ray. sting ray was spicy though quite nice followed by fried rice. had games at our table, colouring within lines, performing using our animal name put at our table top--otter and best dressed. i broke the crayon while colouring :p and my creative colleagues thot of singing "one otter, two otter,..." to the tune of 10 little indian boys and actions of arcade. i have already guessed the female best-dressed of the night cos she went to paste leaves on her tank top and 1 side of her hair. went for tram ride after the games and cake cutting. decided to lobang my colleague's car back home so i followed them to watch the animal show. the show was the same as what i watched last yr or so with ZK. aft all this, was very tired, slept ard 12 mignight. next day, still have to meet colleagues in sch at 6.25am for sports for life walk at evans road.
