NEWDC2009

It is not "NEW DC". It stands for "National Education Web Design Competition". (",)

Members consist of our very own Lydia (call her 'Chief') & Andrea, and 5.4 imports - Jie Yi, Ryan Lai & Ambrose. They were forced to call themselves 'Sparkling Stars'. =P This is a very unique combination.

Seriously, Lydia can be very cute and funny. Like a little gal. She makes me laugh unintentionally. Can be a good leader, if someone grooms her. =D

Andrea, our new IT HOD's favourite. Always full of praises for her. Can be rely on as presenter with her eloquent articulation. But for now, I am more concerned about her deteriorating work, in Eng & Math. >_<

Jie Yi, a nice & pleasant gal. Very cooperative team member, I am sure she will have plenty to contribute if given the right tasks and responsibilities. =)

Ryan Lai, a silly boy. Fascinated by a 'live' earthworm @ Botanic Garden. Great sense of humour and speaks animatedly. You would not have known that he's actually very shy. ;)

Ambrose, impresses me with his gift of the gab in the first few sessions. Appears smart and probably has some hidden potentials yet to be uncovered. Aprropriate guidance is needed to put him on the right track.

Mr Alan Tan, a pure mis-match in this project. Know nuts about Dreamweaver & Flash, yet pretends he's an expert. He's not very free, especially with exams round the corner and a handful of his kiddos still stucked in the capsule of Pri 3.

Tomorrow is PSLE Oral Day 1. DO your best & leave the rest to fate. May the power be with u! =D

Influenza A (H1N1) Alert [Impt! Must Read!]

Schools will re-open on Monday, 29 June 2009, as scheduled. To slow down the spread of the H1N1 virus in the school community and in Singapore when school re-opens, MOE will issue a 7-day Leave of Absence (LOA) to all school staff and students returning from affected countries, on and after 22 June 2009, to stay away from school. There will also be stepped up precautionary measures and public education efforts in schools.

1. Temperature-Taking
Bring your oral digital thermometer when you return to school on 29 Jun 2009, Monday. Temperature-taking will be done twice daily.

2. Leave of Absence (LOA)
a) Inform me if u have returned from an affected country on or after 22 June and not report to school for 7 days from the date of your return to Singapore. Eg. U returned from Australia on 23 Jun, Tue, u must stay at home from 24 Jun - 30 Jun 2009. U will return only on 1 July, Wed. See a doctor immediately should u not feel well during the period of LOA.

b) Complete the travel declaration form that will be sent to u before school opens and submit it to me on the first day of return to school. As there will be no assembly for the first week, u will report to the classroom.

c) Exercise social responsibility by ensuring that u do not go to school, but stay at home and see the doctor if u are unwell.

Please call my HP and let me know, as soon as possible, if you have gone to any of these 15 countries (Check MOH website for new updates on the affected countries). The countries are : United States of America, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Chile, United Kingdom, Japan, Spain, Argentina, Panama, Philippines, Thailand, Dominican Republic, Indonesia and HongKong.

As I had just returned from Batam, Indonesia, on 23 Jun, Tue, I will only be back in school on 1 Jul, Wed. Mrs Cho, my very very good mentor when I first joined APS, will be relieving me on the first 2 days. Troublemakers will be "well taken care of" when I return. (",)

Meanwhile, enjoy the remaining 4 days of holiday. There's really nothing to worry or fear about returning to school, if u submit all assignments punctually and stay free from troubles. The only drawback is that we have to wake up early, which we should be able to get used to after the first few days. =D

Hope to see u people soon! =D

Sunset from a Railway Bridge

I did not expect to find such a place in Singapore. Remnants of an old unused railway bridge and tracks. Through some research on the net, we were brought to this very location.

This place is really a gem, in a highly urbanised Singapore. Although it is not indicated on the map, it is not diffcult to find. With a little gut feeling & a bit of asking around, we discovered this perfect place for sunset & railway photography.

We'll be back for more photos. (",)
