Dear All,

I back again. Hope that everybody is enjoying their holidays either working or playing.

We have our Staff Retreat for 2 Days this year. For the 1st day, we have bonding games in school. I was really fun playing with our colleagues. After that, we were assigned to go out for external scan of what the industries are doing. My group went to the Singapore Polytechnic Engineering Faculty to learn about their Clean Energy Initiative. It was really an eye-opener for me on how the course was structured to meet the needs of the environment. I was thinking of maybe my future career would be here.....haha

After that, we went back to school to do a short presentation on the trip.

With all the presentation from other groups, we were treated to a talk by Adam Khoo' company on Generation Y. The main topic were how to talk to them and the techniques to woo this generation over. I find it interesting and hope to use that in my lesson.

The next day, we went to Civil Service Club near Farrer Park for our internal scan. Mainly is about school stuffs. So I'm not going to talk much to bored all of you.

Last Monday, 24 Nov....... went to VCH for the Band Concert Rehearsal. We really busy looking around the place and also getting ready the logistics aspect of the rehearsal. Need to check that the chairs and stands were in position. The band members were really slowed and we have to rush them to do things quick. First up was the technical run from the main band...... marching onto the stage was not that bad, could be improved.

Next was the String Ensemble rehearsing. I needed to get the sitting arrangement ready for them to rehearse. Not only that, I also needed to check whether the arrangement was correct. While listening to them play, I really felt that they have improved a lot. Not that bad for their first rehearsal.

After that, was the Main Band turn to rehearsal. Overall, they were not up to standard yet. Seriously have to go back to school to put in more work. Really very frustrating especially they did not see the importance for the concert. I really hope that can put in a lot more effort into it. A big thank you to the Seniors who have come back to play with them.

Well, that's all folks..... I try to keep my entry as short as possible so that you all don't feel bored.

Next updated, I will tell you all about the trip to Biscuit Musuem at the Esplanade with my friends yesterday. It is really a posh and interesting place.
