This is a name that took some time for me to know how to read

DSC00839
Messed up but the class is good enough to remember everything!

DSC00852
Playing some kind of funny games that is similar to the 杀,反杀 game that I used to play during my own orientation gasp... 11 years ago.. man I'm old... But I think the version I used to play is more fun and easier and also serves the purpose of getting to know each other's names better.

DSC00883
Some students are really used to cameras around school activities that they like to pose for the cameras

DSC00879
They make taking pictures during school events more fun as I get to take cute (debatable) photos

But the series of photos you are looking at from here onwards really redefines the phrase 'like to pose for cameras' and 'cute'
DSC00861
Camera spotted, target acquired, homing activated, missile launched

DSC00862
Successful interception!

DSC00866
Release 'cuteness'

And there were peace.

Look out for more cute poses in the future.

Mass Dance in Hall

DSC00784
The tees read "I am a student" in front and "councilor" at the back. How about a tee that reads "I am a teacher" in front and "adviser" or "in charge" behind?

Yeah...

Bike Hike Album

Selected photos from bike hike is out in my webshots album now. Grab it today for FREE! Nothing creates a sense of urgency to put out the album faster than a lack of hard disk space.



Bike Hike

Morning Assembly

Ok, I have decided to save my creative juices in crafting out interesting lessons in Civics so posts about the past will days will carry minimalist titles that describe exactly when the photos were taken. I hope you would like this spartan approach.

First, 3lers 4lifers (?)

All looked so dead on the first morning of the school year

More smiles in their faces as they look forward to the new challenges ahead (and the student initiated orientation program)

DSC00773
Not exactly morning assembly but immediately after. A shot that I kinda like perhaps due to the lighting on her face


Finally the initiation ceremony for the year 1s in the school

Seniors/teachers putting on the badges for the freshmen

13,745,001,314

That's the number of bytes taken up in my hard disk right now of photos from the 3 day orientation program. For the mathematically challenged, that's 12.8 gb (at 1024^3 bytes per 1 gb) of hard disk space.

Total photo count, just 919. That's the price of taking shots in raw. But raw files did save some important shots now and then so I guess it's a price that I would have to bear.

Actual photo count, about 1200 including those that never reach the hard disk.

Keepers photo count, unknown, yet to pick them out from the pack.

Excellent photo count, definitely more than 2 shots.

More statistics to be updated as and when. Meanwhile, familiar faces will be posted here. (Would have to seek permission to post photos so will only put up those whom I know won't mind it at all, i.e. almost everyone from year 6 and those from 4J07 and 3L07.

I'm so tired...

Symptoms
Lack of sleep
Lost of appetite
Running nose
Not the biggest but the &*^#@$ most painful and 'juiciest' blister at the worst part of my feet.
Lack of concentration and short term memory
Very strong nasal voice
Unable to communicate affection over the phone
Inability to write sentences more than 10 words long without making mistakes.
A little sore throat
Coughing...

After 5 hours I'm only halfway through my raw files of the photos I had taken. And I have yet to review them yet.

Cannot die yet, CCA exhibition next... Realize that I didn't check my NUS mail for more than 5 weeks. Amazing... Registration for modules next, think I'll just do one module this semester, on Physics of Nanostructures since there are gazillion of stuff waiting for me to accomplish early this year.

Can I label myself as a workaholic? Sucre would most definitely not agree...

Do I make sense? I hope so... I want to sleep but my nose keep running away so I had to look for it first..

Happy New Year!

And may your dreams come true. Here's some sand castles... (totally unrelated)

And 4L, if anyone of you are reading this, your new classroom will be the computer lab where you went for the health check right at the basement near the carpark. Cool eh?
