Voices of Rulangnites

Today is Voices of Rulangnites. It is the moment parents invited to the school and students showcased their talents besides studying.

At 8am, parents started entering the school. J could not take leave and so I attended myself.

I wandered around the school before I found Isa's room where her class would be having their performance. She has mentioned the class number G03-02 which means Block G 3rd floor 2nd room. But this number does not make any sense to me as I am hopeless in directions.

Just when I did not know what to do, I saw a staff (all dressed in bright yellow t-shirt). He brought me to the correct classroom.

The chairs have been nicely arranged for the parents. Some kids were dressed in their home clothes while others in their usual PE attire.

2 groups of students sang; one of them was Isa's group which sang Innocence. 2 groups of students put up a magic show.

A group recited and act a long poem called The Dentist's Revenge which was quite interesting.

Another group put up a puppet show. 2 solo; a boy each played a harmonica and a guitar.

The last group acted a scene on Battle at Bukit Chandu.

This is a scene in Singapore's history. The large group of boys "played" with their toy machine guns.

All the parents and the students have a fun time.

In the late morning, the pupils and their parents went to the school hall to attend a short motivational talk. The speaker spoke on the contributions made by the late Dr Goh Keng Swee and Ms Olivia Lum. The message to put across was : one is to have dreams and work hard toward these dreams.

A skipfest was held for all the pupils. The skipping rope has a timer and the students will skip for about 3 minutes. The number of skips made was recorded at the end of the 3 minutes. I hope a record can be achieved.

Finally it was the nail-biting moment. The form teacher distributed the record book and exam papers to the pupils. The queue to see the form teacher and Mother-Tongue teacher was simply too long. We left the school without seeing them since Isa did not look well at all.

She has a slight fever, sore throat and cough. I think this is going to take some days before she can fully recover. What a good timing to fall sick!
