Elective Programme for Students

There's an elective programme every year organised for the Normal Technical students on practical skills to learn. So they get to choose what they want to do. This year, they have an option of photography, fitness and cooking. So they will undergo lessons and finally, they will showcase what they have learnt to the teachers.

So, I signed up for it in support of their hard work where I get to see what they have learnt and to taste their cooking!!

In the morning, I was pretty excited already. So I dropped by the kitchen to check it out and support them.

Here's Ian, our sous chef!

All of them hard at work

Before our sumptuous lunch, the group that chose fitness displayed a muay thai performance with music.

Then when we entered the room to eat, we had to do glamour shots first by the photography students.

Then there was the cocktail counter for us to get our drinks. Of course, they were non-alcoholic.

Here's me and the fitness gals.

And our servers, all waiting to usher and serve the teachers with their big smiles!

Check out our lunch menu!

The food was delicious!!

For appetiser, we had prawn with mango salsa

Then, wild mushroom soup with squid ink baguette

Then lemongrass drink with mint as a palate cleaner before our main dish. How refreshing!

For the mains, we had a choice of teriyaki chicken or seafood baked rice.

I chose the seafood baked rice as I love seafood and I was glad I ordered it as the mussels were huge! Worth it!!

And lastly, our dessert- 4 different kinds. You can imagine how full I was!

We had a really great time. Coincidentally, my lunch colleagues were all ex-TJC students!! haha..so it was a mini gathering!

There's Edmund Tham, who happens to know my cousin from TJC. Small World. Then my form teacher, Mr Lim Meng Thong whom I have the pleasure of working with for 2 years as we took the form class 3E3 (2011) and 4E3 (2012). Despite him being promoted to IT HOD, he still carried on form teachership to help me and we had a great time working together as the things he liked to do, I dont like and vice versa. Then on my left is my dear Personal Assistant, Shu Xian who is a really good and efficient teacher and my secretary who sits beside me, answering my phone calls, leaving messages for me when I am not around and reminding me of appointments or things I might forget!

Thanks guys for your hard work to make this day such a success and for the wonderful food! With great food by students and great company, I am truly blessed!
