Sept break over?!?

My gosh, the term break (note that I said "break" and not "HOLS") is almost over.
*gasp*
*faint*
If time passes as quick as this, soon it'll be the Final Year Exams (FYEs)!!!
*bites fingernails*

Wait a minute.....why do I sound like I'M the one taking the FYEs..sigh.
But seriously, sometimes it does feel that way. I seem to be even more anxious than my boys who ARE the ones taking the exams. eeks.

OK, relax...*breathe in breathe out* Everything will be fine........(won't it?)....
Exactly 3 weeks to the start of FYE as of today...and 1.5 more chapters to cover in 2 weeks. EEKs.
LOTS to mark and return and go through and test....goodness..I better make a list of things that I have to accomplish on a daily basis to help prepare the kids for exams.

Been posting less and less of late....goes to show the amount of time I have on my hands...
Jogging my memory a little to see what's been happening over the last 3 weeks..

HK Aunt & Cousin's visit

Was very nice to have my aunt and cousin come over to spend time with my mum in mid-august. They came for about 2 weeks..think it was comforting for my mum to be able to spend time with her sister.
My cute HK cousin, whom I think I can easily pass off as my sister.. we used to look even more alike a couple of years ago.. :)

B's wedding
Yup, another wedding among a whole spate to attend for the year. This time, my university friend whom I spent 3 years together doing our Maths degree in NUS with :)
Congrats to B!!
The Math kakis :P
Cluster school singing competition
Recently, I went to support a few of our CHMA finalists who took part in a cluster school singing competition. Interesting that they should name it "Campus Superstar" coz that's the exact name as the competition which was being shown on channel U. But more importantly, the CHS participants did the school really proud by clinching 1st runner up for the solo category, and winning the group vocals category. Yay!
Some pictures from the night..




Teachers' Day
This year, teachers' day lunch became teachers' day high-tea and was held a day before the celebrations itself.
Teachers' day high-tea at Singapore Swimming Club..

On the day of the celebrations, the staffroom became a common corridor as students came in and out to wish the teachers "happy teachers' day" as well as to place stuff on the teachers' tables.....I'll just let the pictures do the talking for a little while :)



Can you see that we're blocking the staffroom door?!?? Kinda embarassing having to keep apologising to people for making them stand at the side to wait for us to finish with our picture.. :P

This year's hall set-up for the teachers' day concert..
Haha look at what my class gave me!! =)
A super duper big baby Silvester the cat..SUPER big lor..
Oh oh oh, and to top it off, my class also ordered Sushi into the school to eat! Yummmmmmmmyyy....i luuuuurve sushi.....keke..... :)
Thanks guys ;)

Glad that I managed to catch some of the old boys who came back to visit...

Big thanks to everyone who took the effort to say a simple "Happy Teachers' Day", and of course, to those who've left stuff on my table and passed me stuff. THAAAAAANKS =)
Paiseh, didn't manage to meet some of you coz I wasn't at my table straight after the celebrations. :P

Super movies
Watched 2 movies last week. Hairspray and Ratatouille.
I loved Ratatouille. The little rat looks soooooo cute :) I'd love to have a lil' rat that could cook up a storm in my kitchen...hee.

And....i LOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVEEEEEE Hairspray!
Haha...ok so I'm biased. But has been a long time since I last watched a movie that I've fallen in love with.
Prior to watching the movie, I had no idea what it was about, or who it was starring...which is pretty typical of me..heh.
But after I watched it, I could even hum some of the tunes a few days after the movie. Just goes to show how well-written the music is. Just bought the Hairspray soundtrack 2 days ago, my first ever soundtrack. Usually, movie music never interests me to the point of purchasing their soundtrack..but I just couldn't resist this one :) My my, every song that I listen to rushes images of the movie into my head. It's as if I was watching the entire movie in my head as I listened.. :) Such a simple movie about love, dreams, prejudice.....the music and images just keeps me smiling as I listen to the soundtrack :P

Okie, I think I overspent my time on the computer. *OOPS*
Gotta get back to marking for now...and tmw morning, it's off to schoooooooooooooooooool....
