Annual STaff DInner 2007
Last night marked the end of a school year for us. That is, facing the pupils lah.. the work does not end there. In fact, there's lots of handing over and admin staff to do before we really get down to the BREAK. Well, I guess for us teachers, the year end break is really a well deserved one. We work really like dogs for the whole of the year, and well, suffer all the crap and stuff, and then we end up with a bunch of ungrateful pupils. What to say? Tsk Tsk...
Anyway, that's beside the point. The point is, this year it is our turn (last year's Beginning teachers) to organize the year end staff dinner. Well, it is sort of a "major" project, because we have got the past years' "image" to upkeep. Last year was quite good..and truth be told, I was quite reluctant to do it this year...furthermore, it was so near to my big day, I seriously didn't have the time nor energy to do it.
However, somehow I find myself being drawn into the loop, and getting my hands involved in a major part of the planning and organizing.. And last night saw the end results. I didn't even have time to take many photos.. I ended up being the emcee for the night (god knows how) and didn't even have time to eat. Now I know how the people in events management lose weight. Well, they basically just don't eat.
We, the committee members, kept telling ourselves that we would take more photos after the dinner, but we were all exhausted (that's an understatement) at the end of the dinner to do anything except pack up and go home... Hee.
I guess it was not so bad for a first time at trying out this organizing thing. None of us had any prior experience at all... the last thing we needed was for people not to enjoy the dinner..so...well, here's all the photos I had. =)
Aren;t the balloons beautiful?
Here's the "chairman" (self proclaimed).. haha. Vic and myself. He was also the co-emcee for the night.
My reporting officer, Miss SIm and I... She's a really sweet lady.. very helful and understanding. It's my honour working with her.
Well...the organizing committee lor. As you can see, our dear Susie (the one in red) was the only one who was NOT in red. She came, and then the first thing she said was "I didn't know you all were dressed in blue". *Duh*. =)
Me and Ning... Even her poses in photos look bimbotic.. what can I say.. hahah
Me with the girls. They took lots of photos last night.. which I didn't have the chance to join in.. sheesh...
Here's Nancy and Mrs Lew. Both of them have helped me in numerous ways. I am grateful to them for being so nice to me.. =)

Our pride and joy. The decor of the hall. The dress code for thenight was actually "Clementi Idol", and the colour theme was yellow AND blue. Most of the people were quite qporty and dressed in theme..but as usual, we still had the people who didn't give a heck.
