After teaching till 2pm today, left for Nan Chiau Primary with Xihua and Shi Min as there's a Beginning Teachers' talk. There was a Shanghai principal who visited the primary school who gave a talk about their school system. Nan Chiau's VP, Mrs Lau also gave a talk about her experience upon visiting the Shanghai school. Two other teachers shared about classroom management and relating to parents.
When the talk ended by 530pm, the sky was overcast and we hurriedly walked to Compasspoint. We were pretty lucky as the first drops of rain started pelting down once we reached the building. I went to Esplanade library to look for the piano scores in the exam list B. Managed to find all of them as I waited for Karel. We went to Humble House for dinner as the other places were pretty crowded and both of us have never tried the food there. We ordered the Chicken Rice and it's the most expensive chicken rice I've ever ate ($9.90 before taxes) but it really tasted very good. The soup was also different, melon soup with wolfberries.
Once we're done with dinner, we walked to the esplanade waterfront to try to get a standing spot to view the fireworks display by the french. The whole place was really crowded and there was an uncle who was standing right in front of me who pretty much blocked my view. Only managed to take a few shots and video from the limited view while Karel, being tall managed to get most of it. It was really spectacular and nice as the loud explosions in the sky revealed amazing designs of fireworks. The whole display lasted from 930pm to 950pm.
We hanged around the area as there's a live band performance at the outdoor stage at 10pm. It's a local band by John Chan. His music is actually quite nice. Enjoyed the performance till 11pm, then took a walk down Singapore River to Raffles Place MRT. When I finally reach Yio Chu Kang to catch the bus home, I was 10min late, ended up taking a cab home.
