Yes, I admit, not blogging much lately. /:
Oh well. I went to the ASEAN forum at NIE today.
Since it's the FIRST inaugural forum, it is history in the making, and we're like, the pioneers or something, just for attending that.
Oh wow. :D
The MC is quite funny, lame and all. And I must say that it's quite interesting, although it's abit too heavy for my taste. But after lunch, when things start to get more informal, hell yeah it was fun!
Especially the guitar and piano (whatever-you-call-it) performance by 2 of the NIE trainee teachers.
It was like, wow. I never knew teachers could be so talented! So far, teachers are giving me an image of "marking textbooks, teaching, admin-work". But well, they certainly changed my mindset just like they promised.
They did some memorable pieces like: Apologize, Umbrella, etc (: About 6 songs in all, and the audience loved it.
I must say, it is a very enjoyable day. I can see that organizers are very dedicated to making the forum possible. And their 8 months of hardwork are certainly not wasted. :D
But, I must say, that I really miss going to Flag Day. I mean, it's the last time we can do CIP as a class, as you know, 49ners.
Should I know that Flag Day's going to be the same day as the forum, I'd definitely go to Flag Day.
Cos, there's no such thing as a "next year" anymore, and I sincerely hope there won't be!
And, here is my thanks to Addison for letting XY borrow his PSP.
It really helped. On the impossibly long bus trip to and fro.
Today, albeit tiring, really helped me gain quite alot of knowledge.
And make me realize, that my orals sucked.
Really big time. /:
