we first met in tgps back in 2005; had many many lunches together at the coffee shop opposite the school, painted the P1 SEED classrooms together during dec holiday, attended hq events together and u played while i supported @ hq's & cluster's netball games together... then said our first good bye, take care, see you around when claire & i went nie in 2006... 

 reconnected when i attended the mentor sharing that you facilitated in 2017 and was thrilled to find out that we will be work pals again in 2018... this time it lasted 5 years; we went for olive run together, you taught me how to be a better mentor then we had to say our second good bye, take care & see you around again... 

thanks for inviting me to be part of your sweet & lovely ceremony... Wishing you all the best + happiness + love + every thing good in your next lap in life & in career... 😍😍😍

Back to the 1990s & 2000s year N dinner

 the question that popped into my head when i first knew of this year's theme was "What was my friends' & my dressing like when we were in jc and uni ah?!?!?!"

went to 东 ask ask 西 ask ask...both mx & mel gave me this pic from JC time (1998-1999)


went to 东 flip flip, 西 flip flip... found pic from uni time (2000 - 2003)

well, it seems that spagetti top was my everyday staples; pairing it with the usual jeans / skirt 


fast forward 20 years back to today... 

purposely bought a pair of baggy ripped jeans just because it was one of the suggestions on the briefing slides... din even have a pair when it was in fashion during my younger days... dont understand and dont appreciate it at all... first, toes & feet repeatedly got 'trapped' in the holes every time i put it on... then it was super weird when only the holey areas felt the cold air from the surrounding aircon... 😅😅😅


met up with PAL's Pals for Happy Hour @ Crossroads Cafe, Marriott Tang 

before joining all the work pals for our year N dinner... 


had Jeo helped me put on the ear cuffs which was one of the many many old school stuff given as door gifts... 

best partners of the year... just because i said so... 😂😂😂

pre dinner table photo for those who were on time.... heee



the healthiest buffet i ever had...

i shall name this Candy & 这些年的 partner 们s... 😂😂😂... 有 2018-2019 的 1IN, 2IN, 有 2020-2021 的 3Ad, 4Ad 还有今年的 5Ad... 


OMG... these two have just started the best 1.5 years in our career... paid to study time... All the best oh!!! 



Art Trio - flash in your face vs bounce light technique... 



winners of oca team category - enhanced curriculum


was nominated for the Inspiring Teacher award... the award went to someone more deserving but i still felt thankful that my heart & hard work was seen & recognised by a fellow work pal...
