keep talking....keep talking....

Drama night was a success -
people love it
kids enjoyed it
everyone is happy

it was chaotic, even till the end.
have to shout at kids,
shove them back to the auditorium for last briefing,
have to grab people to help move all the things back to school,
have to unpack,
clear the school and lock up.

we were exhausted,
and we went to have our dinner at almost 12 midnight.
taiwan porridge is good for tired souls.

thankyou my friends who have gone to various dimensions to help make this a success.
i am so lucky to have these people :)

was so busy, not sure who took photos.
will track down.

drama mama

Drama Night is 3 days away.
i am on panic mode, stressed mode.
it seems like the need-to-do list is endless,
everytime I thought I have put in EVERYTHING that needed to be done, I spot another thing that is missing on the list.

the kids are tired from the rehearsal - everyday.
my teachers are tired of going through the rehearsal - everyday.
i am tired already.

i am also worried about the art paper next tuesday.
most kids didn't turn up for consultation hours we have set for last 2 weeks.
now they pop up whenever they like and assume we are always open - like 7/11
i have no time to see them.
i am worried.

i have the curriculum review to work on and department workplan to plan,
before we go on the HK trip.
speaking of which, i have no time to work on the HK trip planning and have been relying on my dearest friend.

so little time,
so much things.

mom just called,
another worry.
i hope it's not bad news for dad's test result.
sigh.
"tell him it's unavoidable if it's really that. he has to face it."
that is all i could say to mom.

what a useless brat i am.

the ang-moh paper

today the kids have english paper 1 and 2.
it was in the afternoon, all the way to early evening.
it rained as they are busy writing in the hall.
it was cold and grey.
C laughed and asked if the weather is a sign or something, about the english paper, erm, result.
we rolled our eyes.

i hope the kids did ok,
this is a very important paper.

the one art student | the last art lesson

after so many days of not seeing him,
i scolded him today, again.

it hurts me to say mean words to him.
i thought i saw him rub his eyes so hard to push the tears back in.

but of course, he will survive, live,
not a problem at all.

he shines like a gem even when i left him among the charcoal mess.

still, he needs to understand,
his presence is important to make his mark convincing.
it's not enough to just leave his power-puff girls box with pieces of charcoal in the art room.

-------------------------------------------

the last art lesson with 5N.
not at all special or with a sense of lost - good.
it should be neutral.

i've seen them for 3 years now.
scolded, nagged at, cared for them.
they are dear to me.
i love the NA kids.

i wish them well.
