Yesss! Another long weekend following one last week....wooohoooooo... :)

Seriously in need of this one, am about to become a full-fledged panda soon..really looking forward to the June break (note, it's still a BREAK, and not a holiday, since there's SOOOOOooooooo much work to be done :P).

________________________________________________
And that is an extract of my blog post, in the first week of May. Many a times I had wanted to blog, but then, somehow, by the time I got the photos up, and some words flowing, I'd be called off to do something else, or I'd be tired already. So, what else can I say, but that I'M SO GLAD THAT THE JUNE BREAK IS FINALLY HERE. sooooooooooooooo many things to say about the past few weeks, but...some I can't even remember already because it's been so long. So, well, whatever that I can remember :)


Burst shots
Just very recently, I discovered that my sony ericsson phone has the ability to take multiple shots at a go! Haha, so I put it to good use while I was supporting some of the competitions that the school took part in.
The boys in pink 'B' division Wushu team competing in the group display finals.
The Dance rehearsal just before our Dance group left for their SYF, in which they were awarded a Gold with Honours for their splendid performance!
Am glad I managed to set aside time for match support this year. Felt like I missed out a lot on supporting my batch of kids last year because I was spending so much time trying to adjust to S4 teaching and being S4 FT. So, made it a conscious effort this year to set aside time to go and watch my boys in action.

CHMA 2009

Yes, it's here.Almost. Mark the date, it's 25th July ;)
Lotsa CHMA action going on now, we've started our solo studio recordings since this week, and have 3 more to go in the coming week. Photoshoot in the studio on Tuesday, done by a professional photography company! Wooohoooo!

Keep your eyes on the CHMA blog for more of the action! http://chmusicawards.blogspot.com/


SLB Investiture '09
The theme for this year's invest, SOAR.

Student Leadership Boards' EXCO (2008-2009) standing together as an EXCO for the last time before handing over to the new batch.
Another year has passed, another batch of leaders take up their roles, another CHS investiture. I love the way the invest. is carried out, with the symbolic handing over of the blazers to the new batch...the handing over of responsibilities to the younger ones, and with it, also the many affirmations of support, mentorship, and friendship.

For me, as I look back and see the amazing growth and change of the SLB over the last few years, really can't help but applaud the kind of devotion and heart put into the developing and moulding of the leaders. I'm sure those in the SLB can attest to the sweat, toil and tears in the process. Well, whoever said Leadership was a bed of roses? But it's through the process of toiling and sweating, that we learn the best lessons.

Kudos to the batch of leaders who have stepped down, and thank you for your willingness to serve the school as a leader.The new leaders taking the Leaders' Oath.

All the best to the new batch ;)

NCC POP
It's that time of the year again, the promotion of the Part Ds to rank of "Senior", and the new leaders rising to their ranks.

It almost seemed like only yesterday when the Part Cs 08 took over the leadership, and in a blink of an eye, they are handing over the leadership over to the new batch of 09.

The handing over of the ASM position.

The handing over of the CSM position.


The outgoing Part Ds, shouting one last cheer together.


Official GRADUATION :)
The officers and the Part Ds.


See what graduation does to them? :)

Can literally sense the burden of leadership being lifted off some of them straight after POP..haha.. just observing them having arms around each other..and lauging heartily and the endless tau poks, makes me see the deep camaraderie and friendships that they've built with each other over the last 4 years together.

Thanks Part Ds, and especially Keefe and Desheng, for your perseverance and determination in leading the unit. We'll miss you guys.

And to end off....as usual..... :)
