IT Learning Journey @ Sungei Buloh

Weather: Cloudy after a heavy downpour in the wee hours of the morning

Attendance: Pupils & Teachers of P3.4 & P5.7 - IT Classes

I thought that the heavy rain in the morning would spell trouble for our IT Learning Journey to Sungei Buloh. It didn't, as the rain stopped shortly before we arrived. In fact, it was very much welcomed as the air became cooler & fresher @ the tranquil nature reserve.

The trip was a fun one! Surely a temporary relief from stress in this hidden gem of Singapore. U guys have once again proven that good behaviours & mannerisms do not compromise the enjoyment of our excursion. Keep it that way! =D

Family Nite 2008

2005's & 2006's Family Nites, I made & sold Anderson Mochaccino & Miloccino using Mrs Cho's secret recipe. The sales were good, as always, in any events.

2007, I turned to photo-taking of the event. It was a sweaty job.

2008, I decided that the photo booth might be the best place to stay in. It was.

2009, where would I be?

It was great to see many ex, & ex-ex students. There are two types of students in the ex-ex, the "goodie goodie" and the "not-so-goodie goodie anymore". I love the "goodie goodie". I couldn't recognize one when she waved at me. Afterall, I have not seen her for ages. =D

The ex is my fun-loving 6.7's peeps! Keep the spirit burning! xD

Never mind that the business @ the booth was below expectation. We'll be back stronger & better next year! Great job, 5.7 & 4.4! It was encouraging to see fine teamwork among many and good initiatives by a few individuals. There will be more opportunities for u to hone your skills! =D
