Stories of me and myself

Yet another awesome class conducted by my history CT. It'll be a challenging task keeping up with her! But the good thing is, I really admire her cos in several ways, she is the kind of teacher I wanna be as well! that's why I find it challenging. In any case, we should always find the style that suits us best.

Oh, and whenever anyone mentions "pretty", she would go "me me!!" Hee. But I do not deny. When she goes to school, she dresses up like she's a model at a fashion show. But it's all in good faith. She dresses up for herself. She says that when the day is sucky... you will still feel good about yourself neverthelessly! Hee. But sometimes the dressing up does have an effect in making the kids look at you lah... At least you have their attention for that short while! Haha!

Anyway, we were made to attend the MOE Healthy Lifestyle event at old NIE, the CCA division today. We thought we would just be extras, showing face and just passing (or wasting) our time. But cos we were all in PE attire, we din have our hps nor a single cent on us. So we couldn't have zao4 in any case! There was a short downpour with a passing dark cloud. (Hmm.. anyone can tell me why rain clouds are dark??) We figured that it's cos there's some celestial being, or monster, lurking in the sky and the sun reflects this shadow onto the clouds, that's why it's dark. Heh. But of course we know it's not true. But we must let our creativity juices flow right?

We ended up engaging in a mass workout, where we clapped, punched, created sunshine with our arms, pretended to be on strike (imagine punching the air like u were cheering), climbed 600 steps in the air and did the square dance while rowing a boat. Then we went for a telematch. Amazingly, my team competed against ZY's team! Apparently she's called "gao1 mei4" by her fellow NIE trainees, for obvious reasons. (At least it isn't chang2 mei4! Haha!)

Me and my long and lanky P-in-P. (This time I took it, so that there wouldn't just be half my P-in-P in the photo!) Hee.


There were 4 stations.
1) Chicken laying eggs. Where we had to transfer mini squeaky fruits and/or balls in between our legs, cover a distance, and 'lay' them in a bucket.
2) Transfer water through a long water hose from a pail, only by using a sponge, to your tallest teammate standing a distance away, with a bottle on his/her head. (Of cos ZY was the one with the bottle on her head! Hahah!)
3) Wear a hat, squeeze and leopard crawl through a long spiral, caterpillar-looking plastic thingy, spin 8 rounds round a cone, pick a ball and throw it into a pail accurately. (Can u imagine ZY in the cocoon with her head at one end and her legs at the other? Cute huh? Hee.)
4) 2 team members to wear a sarong together, run and pick up items on the ground and drop them into a pail.

Yes, these were what teachers from various school were engaging in at the MOE Healthy Lifestyle event. Heh. Initially when I saw the logistics, I thought they resembled the doggie park with its obstacles at Bishan Park! But all in all, it was fun lah. I successfully emerged as a fellow teacher's horse, cos I was piggy-backing her many a times, and the best "sponger" ever (from the water game). A good workout, and a new experience of sports day. At least they didn't make us balance bean bags on our heads and run, or balance an egg on a spoon! Hee. And being the typical kiasu Singaporeans that we all are, of course we din forget to 'sponge' off the goodie bags and Milo truck! Heh.
