Had some interesting stories this week, highlighted by the female teacher being locked in the toilet and screaming for help. We had to take the door off, no mean feat. That was closely followed by a two students fighting. When I asked one student what they would like to say to the other, the first boy obviously said: " Please accept my apology." The second boy said: " I hope you die" When I asked him to think about it and try again he said: " I hope you die a slow agonizing death!"
Man, I have to get out more. Today I went to Jurong Bird Park which frankly was terrific. I have been looking forward to it for a long time but only got around to it today. It seems when they do something in Singapore they do it well. They advertise that they have the largest man made waterfall in the world...( in a bird park) which they say fast!!! I was really captivated by the colour, range and sounds that all of the birds made. I could have done without the shows, mind you, but the birds themselves were fantastic. As much as possible they were out in the open and flying or walking around. I especially enjoyed it because I got in for half price ( old age). I guess there has to be some advantages to getting old.
To-night I am going to a colleague's birthday party but will not be staying late, I hope, because tomorrow we have a run for hope leaving the school at 6 am. Aren't we lucky. It is the old Terry Fox run but it is called Run for Hope over here.
Last week I went to Sentosa Island to see the Barclay open and followed some golfers around, presumably no-ones because there was only one old Sikh guy following them around. I said to him I really feel better after watching them putt. What do you mean, he said. I said, did you see the guy wearing red, he missed a 5 foot putt...I could have done better or at least missed equally well. He told me he was the best golfer in India and was HIS SON!!! Woops again.
I have got to go and buy running shoes. 10 k run before the sun comes up.
