Greetings!
Today we celebrate Total Defense day with Chinese New Year at Assumption English School, and its great to write a report after this event.
Even though my photo capturing device is almost confiscated today, so I took quite a substantial amount of risk to type this out!

Last night, we received an sms that says:
” Remember to have your breakfast and bring your water bottle when coming to school ”
We went to class today and everything was normal. However, during 8.30am, when we went to the toilet and tried to use the water cooler, no water came out!
So during class lesson, we went through the Total Defence slides and such, and this is one such pledge we wrote for Singapore’s (www.iwill.sg) campaigne.
During the lessons, electricity was suddenly cut off, with no reasons why.
In less than 20 minutes, the fire alarm broke out and my ex-form teacher, Mr Johnson came on air to make a quick announcement:
” This is a fire evacuation exercise, and a fire has been broke out in the Chemistry Lab 1, please use the fire evacuation routes and make your way to basketball court ASAP ”
We got out of the classroom and went to the field..
Do you notice Mr Yong – the teacher which is wearing bright red shirt in this sunny day? (Pretty striking).
Soon after, the discipline master went to the platform to make a quick announcement, and in short, he was saying that the canteen was also ” on fire “, so the kind school has sponsored snacks for us.
Which is actually just plain Khong Guan biscuits and water.

After the sun tanning session we had in the basketball court, we went back to close, go through the total defense aspects again and we were told to go to the hall for Chinese New Year celebrations.
Can you see how packed this place is.
While they are below, we are on the top, as there is not enough sits below.
The teachers have a back sit at well – the back.

First on the agenda, like every other events we have, the principal speech.
Secondly, we have the band which perform some kind of chinese song:
Thridly, our school’s dance ensemble performs on the stage.
Fourthly, the National Education Ambassadors perform a skit on the stage:
Fifth, we have a band which sang on the stage, and I have no photos of that due to a teacher (Ask me more, personally), which took away my photo taking device. Probably in an attempt of .. Feel in the blanks yourself.
With that, let me wish you a Happy Chinese New Year in the year of the Tiger!
