national day festivities for me

-wednesday
i went back to the kindy for their celebrations
i told them i would, i wanted to join them and i needed to collect my pay:)
the kids looked so cute in their red and white ensembles
well..the teachers too [i was the only one in dark red and jeans]
and they finally have a new nursery english teacher:)

simple national day celebrations for them
national anthem and the pledge before all were herded into the room
the various classes performed their pieces
and they were so cute lah
despite all the wrong timings and wrong actions
then there was games for the kids
i wonder what was more fun, the playing or watching the teachers compete
i'll go with the teachers competing myself
it was super hillarious lah

and this marks my last day in the kindergarten again
i [or my sis i think] dun plan to go back next year
have other things that we want/need to do
the kids were still excited to see me on weds [cos they still remember]
by 2 months later, i guess it will be erased already

-thursday
nothing really fantastic
had a nice family lunch at a cafe cartel
cos esther and i received our wages so a lunch treat was in order
and the rest of the family havent tried the place before
we finished totally stuffed
did some shopping before heading home for a lazy afternoon

dinner was cooked at home
we were going to watch the parade while eating
but the livin room tv wasnt working so everything was brought upstairs
and laid out in my parents room buffet style
it was quite a funny sight:)
watched the parade and i think it was rather good
the navy really pulled out all the stops for their segment of glory
things were a little cheesy at times but its part and parcel of the ndp i guess
the fireworks were really extravagant this year too

i think we all can agree that singapore has been really blessed
in that we have a safe environment to live it
and we get educated quite well:)
just pray that our leaders will continue to make wise decisions
and never compromise on the moral standards of the society
