Happy Teacher's Day

I just came back from a bowling tournament held by my school's Staff Club for today's Teacher's Day. Frankly speaking, within this five years I became a teacher, this is my second time I celebrated it. The first two years, I was sent for a course while other teacher's celebrating it at school. I manage to attend the third year celebration in my previous school. Last year, I was transfered on the 1st June 2006. At that time, my previous school have not celebrate it and my new school celebrated it before I was transfered (uhuk,, uhuk,, uhuk,,)

I enjoyed myself today. The celebration started with aerobics session conducted by the kids. I joined halfway and later took out my D200 to shoot around. The second session is the "sukaneka". We were divided into 6 groups and we need to go to six different stations with different games each station. The first station was the fill-in the water into the bottle with a straw. Few of my group mates had cheated in this round. We kept extra water inside our mouth so we could finish the game early.

The second station is the throwing the rubber band into the pole. This round we made few tricks too hehehhehehehehe.... The third station was the station of picking the sweets using a chopstick. To make it harder, the students had used a metal chopstick and the sweets were put in a dish full of flour. The practice on eating using chopstick was paid as I contributed a lot of points in this session.

The fourth station was the throwing the water filled balloons. We really enjoyed this one as we had the chance to get wet!! The fifth station is the scrabble session. We were asked to built as many as possible four letter words in english. This is also quite fun. The last session is the golf station, luckily we have Mamato in our group so we gave him the opportunity to score at least 18 balls as we could scored the highest points at this station. At last we managed to score more than 30 balls. We ended second in this "sukaneka". Since I wanna enjoy myself, I gave my D200 to Syazwan. One of the students who is a photographer wannabe hhehehehhehehehe. He really enjoyed taking the photos as he completely finished my 1gb CF card and turn my battery flat in just few hours.

After the sukaneka, the female teachers had our musical chair. I lost halfway and then I joined another teacher singing with the music background for the musical chair. We had a pretty good time singing while the students started screaming. I felt like a superstar hehehehehehhe... Well It is the teacher's day isn't it? It is not wrong for us to have some fun...

After the "sukaneka", we took an hour break to have our breakfast and change our clothes. After the break, we were escorted to the hall just like brides with the "kompang" and everything. The hall was beautiful decorated overnight by the students. I must gave my students a credit for this as they were sitting for their exam while preparing all this. We were given a stalk of rose and a hand towel as a token from the students. After all the speeches, it was show time. At my previous school, the kids took the opportunity to enjoy them self and the teachers just look at it. It was quite different here, the students gave the teachers to perform. I love this one poem written by an Ustazah. It was actually a poem to her kids. It was beautiful.

I took the chance to sing today. Not alone but with few other teachers. We sang "Stand By Me" and "Kau Ilhamku". The session ended around 2 p.m and we were damn hungry at the time. We had sate and nasi minyak today. By the time I ate 6 out of 10 sate, I started feeling weird. I know this must have to do with my gastric. I rushed back home to rest then rushed back to the bowling alley for the bowling tournament.

I had a great time. I will post the pictures later as I have not had the chance to go through 300++ pictures. Happy teacher's day to all teachers.
