while some were happily choosing this date to get married, proposed and whatsnot, the teachers and students were singing their hearts loud to our national day songs. =) if only i could be part of the celebrations again as a student myself, how great! i used to sing oh so loud and confidently to almost all the national day songs with much patriotism wokay! what with your friends and teachers to sing along together with you, all the more you feel so patriotic! got to wave my mini Singapore flag with little colourful sweets inside some more! swinging from side to side with the others.
and i remembered the time when i was in primary 5, we were given the privilige to catch NDP at the used-to-be National Stadium. can do Kallang wave some more! all so united and belong. =)
the little one was excited too when it comes to celebrations like this. you never knew how kanchiong she was for not having red-white clothing just for her school's celebrations earlier on. together with the sister and i, all three of us had to scout for it at Lot1 yesterday. semangat rakyat singapura betul!
anyway, since it was a half school day, the ex-colleagues decided to take this time off to celebrate Liu Ying's burpday! myohmy! you can practically see red and white everywhere. but it was just so nice to see that! however, being in a teaching school near your crib, you simply get to bump into your students. (im still trying to adapt to that) yikes! the advise is, be at your best behaviour and hang out far away from your area. LOL. but then again, the truth is we can never run or hide.
everytime we meet, we just find the need to fill each other in with every juicy news of ours. nandini was so relieved and glad that she went for the crossover already. on the contrary, she was a lone ranger in that ulu school of ours. at that side of island. LOL. with the new students coming in, she saw herself in them when she just entered year 1. so enthusiastic and hapcited for the first day in school, writing every details of what the lecturer said.
the rest of us could not help it but to laugh over her silly, funny, real imitation of the whole series of events that had taken place in her life. haha. well, the rest of them were slowly attacked by the common fever, cough and flu disease. at this hectic period, they were busy catching up with the syllabus and revision for the coming CA2, including all the markings and admin matters that need to be done quick. especially with celebrations like this. staying back after school for rehearsals and decorations. that much can occupy most of our leisure time already! phew!
nonetheless, they were still as crazy as ever. =)
Singapore VS Unknown Island (she is going to built her own island soon enough perhaps).
the two gundus.
from strangers to trainee/CT to colleagues to girlfriends.
ju-ju and nan-nan
when Yen Chieh grows old, by Liu Ying's little smart daughter.
