ooooooooooOver!!!

FINALLY… … … ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Schoolhouse’s Concert cum Graduation Ceremony over!!!!!!!

For us, the staff… the day started way in the morning, we had our final briefing and items-check before we set off to the club after a not-so-full lunch. Haha!
Immediately upon arrival, there was’t any free time for us. Even going to the toilet also got to speed up. Haha!


We laid chairs and set boundaries in the waiting room, we laid out the costumes and accessories accordingly, get ready the tool and the makeup and the stationary boxes, we arranged and labeled the bottled drinks, we did the markings on the stage floor, we set up the backdrop, we set up the recept etc etc etc.

@ 215pm, we welcomed the arrival of the first child and her family.
@ 230pm onwards, we were overwhelmed by the children + family that came one after another after another after another. From sitting-receptionists to standing.
@ 315pm onwards, we were all back in the waiting room. Then still rather chaotic cause of the arrival of some late children and parents saying goodbye to their precious.
@ 345pm onwards, all parents ushered into the hall. Waiting room closed.
@ 4pm, the Graduation Ceremony started.
@ 5pm, the Concert started … woooooo~~~

* in the waiting room *
As usual, the teachers & helpers were busy, very busy with dressing up the children, putting up makeup, adjusting their hair, ensuring EVERYTHING on the children right and proper before sending them out accordingly.

Thank God for peace in the midst of “storm” … haha … Guess Cher Lim’s nagging for the many days was effective. The K1 & K2 were definitely much well-behaved compared to the last time we were there for full-dress rehearsal. Even at times there were few who get overly-excited and about to leave their place, a @@ from Cher Lim, they will be back. =p




* up on the stage *
With “quick hands quick legs”, teacher in-charge sent up their children.
My Chinese colleague was telling me she almost faint when she told her K2 to stand in their graduation poem-formation and a child came to ask her “stand what formation” and another asked "where I stand?”. Haha! This children really know how to give teachers heart-attack ar?
And she almost faint the second time when during the poem-reciting, a girl stood at the wrong place - instead of together with the girls, she stood with the boys. Hmm…

@ almost 6pm, we had our finale song - It’s a Small World

* back in the waiting room with K1 and K2 for dismissal *
Another challenging time for Cher Lim - stood alone at the door, opened up a little hole to peep for parents before signaling to my partner-colleague to release after giving them their snack/belongings.
Just imagine having to recognize the parents of 34 children. =/ Haha!

@ 6pm plus … all children dismissed and and and and WE ARE FREEEEEE~~~~~~
The staff did a quick pack up to the waiting room before finally can sit down and enjoy our proper meal.

=) Just when I thought actual concert is not as tiring as rehearsal … I was wrong.
Back home @ 8pm plus, I could already feel the tiredness and went to bed before 10pm. Opps! But thank God for the holiday the following day.

Last but not least …
THANK GOD for the great success of the concert!
THANK GOD for the protection that was upon every child and staff!
THANK GOD for the great performances by the angels!
THANK GOD for good helpers!
THANK GOD for good feedbacks from parents!

And how I can end this entry without making this remark... ... ... ... ... MY ANGELS ROCK~~~~
