what a week!

and so the week started with the madly frenzied preparation of the national day celebrations in the school while classes were on-going.

and though dash thoroughly enjoyed the "pledge moment" at 10.15am and the afternoon celebrations in her school on the 6 aug, dash must say that the hectic schedule is absolutely draining. and so here we are dressed in red or white for the celebration in school.


and then on the 7 aug, after a day of class, there was a surprise party for sarah and vicky at the e5 staff lounge. and boy! we haven't had such a big gathering for a long time!

and so here we are making funny faces for the camera XD



and here, we have a scene of happy feet - from 12 o'clock and clockwise: james the lion-dance guy, jasmine the actress, vippy and her stockinged foot (yes, she is the owner of tumbles who had earlier in another post mooned all the readers :), cedric the soon-to-be dad, dash in her happy swedish clogs, lorraine the artist and theo the ballet teacher! ahhhh!

here, from left: james, vippy, diana, jasmine and cheng all gave their megawatts grins (with the exception of vippy whose funny expression really made dash roll over with laughter! ^_^)
