EL SYF

Since I'm frigging bored at home and rotting away (figuratively and literally), I shall show you some pics from my SYF (Last Wed)

I arrived in school at 6.10am, but the LT was already bustling with activity. The few who were already there were putting on their make-up and my coach was helping them. I was giving out sweets while waiting for my turn after I had changed. At about 6.30, some of the crew(juniors) arrived and I played with them :)

Hehehh.

After taking this pic, we went back to the LT. I was sitting near the aisle at the middle column of seats, with my 2 juniors in front of me. We were all stoning. Then I suddenly heard this wailing sound right beside my ear, and I thought I heard wrongly since no one else seemed to have heard it. I turned around, but there were no ELDDians around, so I covered my right ear. But I could still hear it!

I froze.

Then Eileen (junior) who was sitting in front of me seem to have heard it too. She turned around and looked really scared. Then she saw me covering my ear. Then I looked at her.

"What's that?"

"I don't know."

Then Joshua Gay jumped off the stage and went to pick up his call -.- Okay, so we were over-reacting, but it was inevitable okay, after my first scary experience in the LT.

Then we helped Ning Qian to tie many many tiny braids:)
Heheh, top view of her head (effort of many!)

After that, I got bored and decided to drag some of the people who are free to do warm-ups. Coach told us to walk one round around the track and we did while doing our vocal warm-ups ("Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum, Double Bubble Gum, Triple Double Bubble Gum" x 1000 times)

[SYF at ACS Barker]

Heheh, after school, we went to Changing Appetites at Marina Square to have lunch/dinner. We ate from 2.30pm to 5pm! The food there's superb, and quite cheap too. We only spent $160 for about the 10 of us because some shared their food since their servings are quite big.

Cookie Monster!

This is utterly good :) LOVED it and it's only $7.90 or so. It's one huge chunk of icecream, and I shared it with Eileen&Josephine(juniors). And while the others went to foot the bill, some of us went outside to wait for them. Miss Ek came up behind us and went "Early Celebration ah". We got a shock, but we were saved by a call from Mr Chua (Miss Ek's).

Anyway, I think our SYF went well, and we really want to thank Miss Ek, Mr Chua, Mrs Yeow, Mdm Chia for coming down to support us! :):):)

International Understanding Day 2007

It was International Understanding Day last Wednesday and while the rest of you were attending assembly (or sleeping), the sec 1s had fun! Did we have IU day when we were in Sec 1? I can't remember, but I know that this year's sec4 Interactors have been working on IU days since we were in sec 2.

Free Ice-Cream from Ben & Jerry's!

Dear denizens of 4B,

It's mid term now and I suppose it's a rather dreary time for all what with the exams just around the corner. Just thought I'd share this piece of information with you in hope of brightening up your week. If you have time on Tuesday, after CCA, do drop by the outlet at Vivocity and indulge yourself. It'd be a fun class outing too! :)

I have posted more information below or you can check out the website at www.benjerry.com.sg

Cheers,
The English Teacher.

Free Cone Day was first celebrated back in 1979 in the first Ben & Jerry's scoop shop - a dilapidated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, USA. Ben and Jerry had been scooping ice cream for a year and decided to reward staff and customers in the best way they knew how - by serving up a tasty tub of thanks free to everyone. An instant success, Free Cone Day has now been scooping up free cones for over twenty-five years and has raised tub loads of money for charity too.
