Natasha's BBQ

The 5N girls organised a class gathering yesterday. They invited a few of us to the gathering at Pasir Ris Costa Sands Chalet. Ed was kind of grumpy about going to this gathering with me, yet he follows knowing that I can't manage QY, carry 90 packets of packet drinks, and 3 bags of Satay all on my own. At the Chalet, he just ate, fed QY and then read newspapers. Poor guy, so left out. Qy was more eager and looking forward to this BBQ. She even wanted to know all the names of the people there.

The boys were sweet. They met me at the car park and hauled the food to the chalet. It's really nice to see all of them get together in a non-classroom setting. The girls have even painted 2 pretty butterflies motif at the bottom of their right eyes. This group of kids have journeyed with me since the beginning of my career as a teacher. While I teach them geog, they taught me to be a better teacher. Can still remember vividly some of them at sec 1. At least 3 hrs a week with them, sometimes up to 6 hrs. Pls a few overseas trips with them. I think I have grown rather attached to them, I am so going to miss them.

I left an hour plus. QY was eating too much Nachos chips from Natasha. And it was my wedding anniversary. Only fair to spend the rest of the evening with Ed.
