Finally back to work today...feels gd to be able to teach again though i've just regained my voice. Think i miss my students...during music class taught them the national day songs and for my p4 chinese class i managed to cover spelling and dictation as well as explain the composition they are suppose to complete. Tried a new method for composition teaching today. Instead of using the visualisor, I drew the 4 pictures on the whiteboard and the kids find it amusing. Managed to get their attention and also can bring emphasis to the parts I want them to elaborate on when they are writing their compositions.
Went for the Basic Musicianship course in Pasir Ris Crest Secondary School in the afternoon so didn't get to see my p1 class. I didn't have much appetite recently and thus didn't eat much in school today as well. Took a cab down to the sec sch as I was feeling quite tired also. Was the first to arrive in class and had a talk with the instructress. She's quite nice to talk to. Learnt new techniques for teaching music today and it was interesting because we also saw videoclips abt different kinds of music concepts introduced by Dalcroze, Kodaly and Orff. Will try to search the clips online and show my music classes if possible.
Got a lift frm one of the classmates and took bus 72 frm Tampines home. Quickly showered and met Jiahui below my flat to pass her the bday gift and souvenir frm Taiwan as well as to get her wedding invitation card. Most probably can only make it for the wedding dinner. Managed to chat for awhile before meeting Albert to go have late dinner together.
We went to Mohd Sultan area, Zen Japanese Restaurant. The sushi was really gd, esp. the soft shell crab maki and salmon sushi. Tried the cold tofu and seafood chawanmushi too. The tori karaage also had a nice sauce. The restaurant actually sold Unazukins at the cashier counter so got a "yellow congratulations" 2004 series unazukin. So adorable! (Will take a photo and post another day...) Btw, the waiter serving us was frm Jiangsu and he is one of the better looking Chinese waiters with gd service that I've met so far. Perhaps also quite young like 20+ and probably still new to Sg or the industry.
Headed to Liang Court Meidi-Ya to get some Japanese snacks. Saw a thermos flask with a very sweet design...heart-shaped and baby pink in color. It was the last one left in the supermarket and in the end, got it as a gift. =)
We went to Clarke Quay to walk around. There's a tentage over the bridge linking Clarke Quay to Central for the Singapore Food Festival. Maybe cos it's Mon so the area wasn't as crowded so we headed to Socialhouses Singapore next. The male dancer was around but he didn't perform tonight. Think he can really dance well but perhaps also because he is the sole male dancer there. Haha...went to get Teh Halia at Jalan Kayu before heading home. Like the way they do this drink here as the ginger taste was just nice. =D
