PIXUS hosts students from Korea!

On 15th July 2008, 4 Korean students from Korean Minjok Leadership Academy came to visit our school. They were in Singapore to do some research on the English education in Singapore so we hosted them. They joined our lessons in the day time on 15th and 16th and in the afternoon we went sight-seeing with them.

It was pouring on the 15th and our trip to the night safari had to be postponed to the next day while we hope for good weather. We decided to visit the National Museum of Singapore instead as the Living Galleries close at 8pm and it's free.

As you enter the museum, you're welcomed by the infamous David from Italy!

Singapore's version of Davis is red instead of white. A picture with David... together with my Miu Miu lamb... also from Italy... hehehe

In the Living Galleries

The Swinging Chandeliers (remember seeing it in my first museum entry in July 07?)

The infamous Dome of NMS... love this view

Mega Huge TV wall....

At the entrance...

I love the facade of the museum at night.... beautiful right?

This is my museum fren... Kyan with a super cool new haircut...

Wish i could do something outrageous with my hair... but... haizz

The 2nd day, thanks to the great weather, we headed for the Night Safari. I didn't take many picture as no flash photography is allowed. It was my first trip there and I had a lot of fun... I would strongly recommend people who hadn't been there to make a trip there. But don't expect to see many animals running around or something coz it's night time anyway...

Gals...

Guys... acting cool

The gals with me... hey I look like them right?? Or rather...they look like Singaporeans! The IN thing for posing is no long the "V" sign or the "Five" sign... it's the inverted-V known as "Victory Aye"... according to the Korean gals :P

The gals enjoyed hanging out with us so much that they joined us again on Friday night. Kyan invited us to attend the Night Festival at the museum...

It was really an eye opener... The Dancing Sky by Studio Festi from Italy... what would you expect? People dancing in the sky.... it's really amazing and I'm very glad I went

A ship and a lady flying in the sky

Coloured ball?

Wait! There's a lady dancing inside!

If you can see.... there are 2 ladies dancing...

Is that the moon???

No... it's part of the performance... I love this red one

This act is where a female acrobat danced in a bowl of water... super cool! I'll try to upload the short video soon...

One with my pal Kyan...

PIXUS attends Awards Nite 2008

Awards Nite was held on 11 July 2008, exactly one week after NOMAD and it was a mad rush for the organisers. As usual, I nominated the Student Council EXCO for CCA Awards and pupils from my form class also received academic and CCA Awards. As the ceremony ended late, many awards winners left and I didn't have the change to take pictures with them. I only managed to find Han Sen...

This year, I nominated my "godson" Kian Ann for the Friends of AMKSS award as he spent a lot of time helping me guide the student councillors with the HOM Wall.
