Visited ACJC Oepn House on 8 Oct!

Today I felt like I'm back to school again. I know I go to school everyday. But I really felt like I go back to school - as a student.

I brought my Choir students to Anglo Chinese Junior College (ACJC) Open House.

Verdict ...:

100% FUN!

200% excitement for me as all my fond memories of JC life came back live (though I didn't study in ACJC)!

300% Eye - opening experience to all of us!

I learnt this quote today which I find it inspiring -"I'm a brightspark. Watch me shine."

I'm a brightspark. Watch me shine.

I certainly hope that whoever went with me today, has learnt something new today.

Personally, I like the the slogan on your goodie bag - "I'm a brightspark. Watch me shine".

TO 4N4 / choir/ whoever is reading this right now:

Each of you is a brightspark that is going to shine. Believe in yourself that you'll shine one day and I will certainly watch you shine. :)

ACJC open house on 8oct, wednesday.

Dear all choir members,

I'd like to bring you to an Open House organised by Angolo Chinese Junior Colleage(ACJC) on 8October, from 1 to 6pm. Of course the venue is held at ACJC itself- Buona Vista. This is ACJC's website about the Open House: http://www.acjc.edu.sg/article/410

Meeting time: 2pm SHARP.
(And pls have your lunch before 2pm!)
Meeting veneu: Hougang MRT Control Station

Dress code: Be yourself!
(It's only an open house, and pls don't wear as if we're going for clubbing ok!
So pls wear casually. But I'm not encouraging you to wear slippers/ flip flops as it's not very appropriate.)

Ending time: latest 6pm - as that is the closing time of the CCA Open House.

Pls bring along your cameraphone / camera to take pictures and basic stationery.

Make sure there's sufficient money in your Ezlink Card as we're travelling from Hougang to Buona Vista and back home. It's quite a long distance.

Every year, almost every JC will organise an open house. The objective is to showcase their achievements/available programmes/courses/CCAs,etc to the existing potential sec4/5 students who may want to Jc, to parents and public too.

"Why must we go?"

Let me emphasise the objectives of us going there are to LEARN + at the same time it's a choir outing + it's an exposure to you as it's a junior colleage, not secondary school.

- I feel that it's a good opportunity for us to see how other school sets up an open house. It's a very big scale - much larger scale than our annual CCA Open House. We can learn from them and apply what they've done in our CCA orientation day'09/whatever programmes we've in the near future!

- Not only that, it's benefitting you in the long way. You may be asked to run an programme when you're in class/JC/ poly in the future :)

- CCAs booth may be set up. So we can go visit ACJC choir booth and of course other CCAs too.

Just to refresh some of your memory, for those of you who went with me to the Internation Choir and Dance Festival at Genting Highland in yr07, i.m sure you've an unforgettable experience, esp,the last day- when we watched the finale performance. One of the performance was performed by ACjc choirs. Some of you still commented that there're so few girls and yet could produce such loud n beautiful voices! And not forgetting there're some guys who sang with funny expressions that amazed the audiences? They snapped their fingers and sang Acapella (hope i spell correctly)? Since you enjoyed yourself so much , then why not see them LIVE?

- In addition,it may be an eye-opener experience 4 us to see what Jc life is all about and their available facilities.

- After your completion of Sec4/5, you will be moving on to either ITE/JC/poly. So, by going to a JC open house is actually helping you to look far - look beyond yourself now. You may think that O level is still faraway, but some of you are sitting for Os next year!

-Take it as another Choir outing!!!

"Who else are going?"
Jessica and jolyn will be joining us on tat day. (anymore seniors?) :):):)

"Hmmm.. I'm not sure if I can go leh..."

If you don't have any special program on 8oct, come and join us. I understand that u may want to celebrate with your friends on 8oct,as it's the last day of your exam.

Sure, definitely go ahead with your celebration AFTER 7pm on 8 October or after 8 October.
This open house is only an 1 day event. But you can still celebrate with your friends on 9 , 10 ,11 and 12 October! 4 CONSECUTIVE DAYS LEH!

Choir, give it a thought and reply me either thru sms or in the tag box.

I'll look forward to hearing a reply from u-if u can or can't go.

Linda, thank you for your reply. We'll take many pictures. :)

So far these are the people who can go:

1. Myself
2. Jessica
3. jolyn
4. Carine
5. Jiamin
6. Kai Ling
7. ?????????

Take care!

Selmat Hari Raya and Happy Children Day~

DSC09672

2 Big Children went to Sentosa for a little retreat and celebrate Happy Children Day at White Dog Cafe.

1st stop: Sentosa

DSC09676 DSC09674 DSC09673 DSC09678

Construction was ongoing on 1st October. Kid #1 and 2 couldn't help but wonder what they were building and look forward to coming again. :)

Kid #2 wanted to try this but the queue was toooooooooooo long. Waste of our time if we spent time queuing up. So let's do what we do best - walking and taking photos. Along the way, we've discovered different games that are played by adults and kids.

Games played by kids...

The 2 Big Children are very hungry!!! So they headed back to the mainland and dined at White Dog Cafe at Vivo City.

011020082161 Kid #1:"What should we eat??"

mango chicken ! yum yum!

Kid #2: "I want Mango Chicken!"

011020082157

Kid #1: I want Baked Mussels ... and

Cowboy Pizza too !!!!!!

And the greedy Kid#1 ordered Lobster soup! So, Kid #2 must "fight back" by ordering Clam Chowder ... and

Virgin Lychee Margarita

a Mocktail: Virgin Lychee Margarita (Verdict: Refreshing!)

Looks like pudding ya!?

and Dessert~! Is that pudding? Nah... is the marble dining table!

After 2 hours of dining, the 2 Big Children declared "NO MORE SPACES IN OUR TUMMY FOR DESSERTS!" although Kid #2 has a philosophy - "there is always a compartment for desserts."

Anyway, it's really late and need to head back home to rest.

A indeed Happy Children Day!

fingers!

Happy 10 years anniversary

October - it's time for JC class gathering yo!

Time flies. Year 2008 is OUR 10Years ANNIVERSARY! :)

10 years ago, after completion of O-Level, we came from different secondary schools and fate brought us together in the same class, CT16, for 2 years in NYJC.

There're many wonderful and sweet memories. I could still remember vividly.

I remember there's 1 time when me, Blurp and Jijie studied in the canteen, Miss Yue walked pass and I was bold enough to ask Miss Yue to help me to buy Hei Bai Pei (chocolate biscuit)! I thought she wouldn't buy ... But she came back with my then - favourite - snack!

When I was late on those dreadful Wednesdays because of PE lessons, I remembered I'd head towards my favourite breakfast's venue - Mac first before went back to school... and mingled with the students who just came out from the changing room after their PE lessons... So it's as if I just get changed from my PE attire! Ha! What an irony now that I've to catch students who skip lessons!

During those tiring F Maths lectures, JiJie would always asked me to apply my famous "rolling balls" on her tiny little chicken back. She would look super relaxed after I massaged her back.

The list goes on...

Now we're working. Some work in Hong Kong or in China. Everyone is busy with his or her work. It's hard to find time to get together to catch up with each other. But i'm glad that we met up on Thursday night.

Sorry to disappoint Jijie that we didn't eat in Xian De Lai Steamboat but end up dining at White Dog Cafe at Vivo City.

choco n strawberry marochino

Didn't know that I'm the earliest!!!! So order myself a cuppa Strawberry chocolate mocha (I don't know the name but sounds something like that)

Here comes my main course ... FOOD!

021020082165

LOOKS GOOD RIGHT!!!! "P.S, I Love You" tastes really good... Not too meaty. Though I don't really like prawns, the tiger prawns tasted unbelievably springy! Oh and I loved the 3 scallops
that are wrapped by bacon.

What a clever combination ... yum yum ...

Didn't have chance to take photos of what my friends're eating 'cos I busy eating and talking! Time passes so fast! Didn't know that we've sat inside the White Dog Cafe for 2 hours!

Well, is once again our ritual to go for drinking. Thanks to Jijie, now I've discovered a fantastic place at "Marina Keppal Bay" or may be called "Marina at Keppal Bay".

Cheers to our 10 years anniversary! And may we've many more 10years to come.
