Pre-Teachers' Day Celebration

Posted by Dawn at Thursday, August 28, 2008
Tonight, I organised a BBQ Session for the teachers at a nearby condo. It was meant for the teachers to have a pre-celebration get-together where they can relax, bring their families and just simply, bond.

Truly, teachers are being overworked and underpaid. They hardly have time for themselves as they are always busy marking, attending courses, spending time with students etc.

Anyway, there were about 20 over who signed up which I was glad..and we had a great time as despite the rainy season, the weather was perfect that day for a BBQ! (Thank God as CT and I have been praying for good weather few days before)

My colleague, Quek volunteered to go early to help start the fire. So, a couple of them went to help carry BBQ stuff and start the fire, while I went to meet up with the delivery guy and paid the bill (which was kindly sponsored by our school management committee) for the BBQ food I catered.



Before the people arrived, we started bbq-ing already as I didnt want to them to wait for the food to slowly cook.



I ordered chicken and mutton satay, chicken wings, sambal sotong, sweet corn, sweet potato, hotdog, garlic bread, kueh pie tee, fried fish ball, seafood spaghetti,



otah and fruit cocktail ice jelly for dessert!





Of course, my family was there to support this event and enjoy the food as well. And as usual, Caleb was quite a crowd pleaser as many baby-sitted him and played with him.



Here are the children who turned up. Caleb is too young to stand still...


At night, Caleb couldnt resist but started playing with the pool water. He was having so much fun, getting himself soaked!



After everyone was kind of full, we went to the function room to cool down and sang karaoke as well as to eat our fruit cocktail dessert. We had a very enjoyable evening!
