Yesterday, Ananias centre was closed for Teachers' Retreat. Heard that it's a monthly thing... so ya I seriously won't mind an off day every 11th. But then it's really more for the teachers to build bonds and for the three centres to interact. And also not forgetting now that Dr Raymond Cheong has joined as the Executive Director, I think he will be giving more presentations.
Yesterday was the first time he spoke as the ED and as an internal speaker, the last time he did was three months back when he was still an external speaker. The hyperlink actually leads to someone else's blog; Ke Xin was a temp teacher at the centre prior to entering uni. She is also Aunite Bok's daughter; Aunite Bok is the centre helper who has been doing the cooking and cleaning for the past 10 years or so.
Think only Ananias CCK and AMK went for the retreat. It was held at TPY safra club and good thing that we were not late (as we thought we would be), in fact we reached exactly at 9am. Nothing much to say about the place, the rooms were stuffy and faulty. Yes faulty because I couldn't remember how many times the lights went off, because how many times the electricity tripped. Nonetheless Dr Raymond still managed to conduct his session and there were still rewarding things to pick up.
Anyway just to list down the teachers' names since I wrote down. From AMK: Mrs Cheng (sup.), Miss Melissa Bek, Mdm Heng, Mr Tay Hock Seng, Miss Low, Mdm Teh, Dora and Ying Ying. From CCK: Mrs Alice Chiam (sup.), Mrs Yeo, Miss Catherine Ang, 牟老师 and 吴玉梅老师.
Lunch was at the Mouth Restaurant (地茂馆) inside the safra club for those few courses kind lor. The food was not bad lah, and actually quite unique in taste. I like the fact that there was few dishes of vege which I love eating. Got my fav broccoli too. But I didn't like the fish cos it had the fishy muddy taste. Desserts was durian mochi and yam paste. No durian for me but nice yam + pumpkin paste I like~
After eating, Peishan Yixian and I decided to go sing ktv cos got the whole nice afternoon to spend mah. Aiya, we could also have gone to play mahjong. But we didn't think of that... and apparently the Kbox branch at TPY also closed down liao. So we went to AMK branch. Erm, I shan't complain about the sound system but the package we got was way too expensive as compared to the Student Tepas $14.50 nett we could have got instead. I can only say that the staffs also didn't bother to recommend a more worthy package for us so two big thumbs down for them }:( we ended up spending $19 each. Sucks!
Now I'm totally craving for Klunch. How I miss Kbox at CCK lor. Sigh... where else can I jio people to go Klunch ah? Clementi, oli? Jurong West safra, gera? Geez soon ok.Labels: Ananias, Kbox
