Year 3 Prize Giving cum Head Coach meet the Parents Session

i sat fr only 1935-2015 as i was doing cp duty. i directed the cars 2 the driveway accoring to the ppl nearer to the gate. felt like a doorman, as i had to open the door for each n every non-gessian (teachers regarded as non-gessian). my role was also 2 ask them whether they wan parking or not. then left @ 2015 for family gathering. damn song ah! u ppl sit fr 1830-2100, i skipped more than half the thing.....hahahahahahaha................

back fr Macau SAR

went there n pon sch one day juz to make multi-entry pass...

explanation: macau allows singaporeans to enter without visa but can only stay up to 30 days per visit. after that they will have to exit and re-entry stay is only for 21, 14 and 7 days, unless they are out of the sar for more than 30 days. only then a re-entry is granted 30 days.

the weathers cold. and parking is a huge prob. public parking works this way:

timing machines are placed beside every lot. coins have to be dropped in. every MOP 1 coin (SGD 0.20) will allow the driver to park for half an hour. max limit is 4 coins, which= 2hrs.

the dinner of the last night (sunday) was at grand emperor(casino and hotel), the best and most memorable dinner for me so far. the buffet had a large variety, and the highlight of the meal is the waiters and waitresses performing, not only on stage, but also around the cafe. it won much applause compared to profession singers.

pictures...in case u wonder how LV of the east looks like...

Sports Fiesta- Day Review

2day is the Annual GESS Sports Fiesta 2007. so happy, dont nid to bring any books. 0800, soccer match start. i was excluded fr the team, and witnessed the 1-0 defeat @ the hands of 3d, by a give-away penalty. the ref totally had no STANDARD. cant even tell when 2 giv a penalty & when not 2. received even shocking news tat our team lost 2-0, 1-0 in the other 2 matches, marking the fallout of 3h fr the championship fr the group phase. so, here is the standings 4 3H:
Pos 4/Played 3/Won 0/Drew 0/Lost 3/Goals For 0/Goals Against 4/Goal Diff -4 Points 0

road relay- tiring but we got 3rd
the 3h team ran 18 rounds in 30 mins, not hitting my personal tgt of 21. however, we managed 2 clinch bronze (3rd). i myself ran 4 rounds, n was very much giddy after the whole run. this didnt stop me fr missing the placing round 4 3G n 3f. i ran all the way 2 the hall immediately aft the prize presentation despite my fatigue, juz to witness the last part of the floorball final tat we lost 2-0 to 3f. review on the performance of 3h (many other info fr 3h blog):
netball-1st, floorball & table tennis- 2nd, road relay- 3rd (only medal in big 3*)
*big 3: soccer, road relay, basketball

april fool
the origin of apr fools day

Throughout France in the early sixteenth century, New Year's Day was observed on March 25, the advent of spring. The celebrations, which included exchanging gifts, ran for a week, terminating with dinners and parties on April 1.
In 1564, however, in beginning the adoption of the reformed, more accurate Gregorian calendar, King Charles proclaimed that New Year's Day be moved back to January 1. Many Frenchmen who resisted the change, and others who merely forgot about it, continued partying and exchanging gifts during the week ending April 1. Jokers ridiculed these conservatives' steadfast attachment to the old New Year's date by sending foolish gifts known as poisson d'avril, or "April fish" (because at that time of year the sun was leaving the zodiacal sign of Pisces, the fish)....
Years later, when the country was comfortable with the new New Year's date, Frenchmen, fondly attached to whimsical April Fooling, made the practice a tradition in its own right.
