A fruitful trip to Temasek Sec.

Went to Temasek Sec with brother & mum for the Sec.1 CCA Oreintation and the Principal-meet-parents session. We were damn crazy, wake up as early as 6am and dad drove us there at around 6.30am. Justin told us that we have to reach the school by 8.30am and so dad brought us to have breakfast first before we procced to the school. We had breakfast near Bedok and its only a 15mins journey trip to the school. Thus, we reached school at around 8.20am, dad had to drive, so he left us and three of us went in. When we first stepped into the school, we were clueless, we did not know where to report. I suggested if we could go to the hall first, but the hall were occupied by the Sec3 parents and the principal, they were having a Principal-meet-parents session too. So we decided to walk around the school canteen.
There was a Sec.1 CCA Oreintation yesterday and it was held in the school canteen, different students from different CCA uniforms were there with banners, medals etc.. As we were walking around, many students probably the Upper Sec, wanted my brother to join them. But my brother wasnt interested in CCAs like NCC, NPCC, St.Johns and Shooting, neither do i as these are stressful and tiring CCAs.
Then, my brother told me that he intends to join Choir and so we walked to the Choir table and approached the Teacher-in-charge of Choir if boys can join the Choir group. We were surprised by the teacher's response, she said "Yes! We need more boys!" Justin was overjoyed and he registered his name immediately. The teacher told us that there was a Choir performance in the "Learning Hub" at around 9.20am. We went to the "Learning Hub" punctually as the students were making preparations, at around 9.35am the Choir group came in and they performed their songs, i was surprised that there are so many boys in the Choir group singing the low notes. So i thought if Justin really join Choir, he wont be feel ashamed as there are still a number of boys in the group. The choir group sang two songs. After the choir ended their performance, the Freestylers(Dance) continued the performance with their Hip-Hop Dance. This is the most memorable moment thru the day, the Hip-Hop dance they danced was damn great, Fanastic. I love their dance steps and costumes very much, i guess they do have the standard and i found out from my brother that the dance instructor is a very fierce and strict man and i guess thats why they can display the dance steps so well.
The Freestylers danced very well and the performance was much better than the Choir, the Choir singing was rather boring.. So i asked my brother if he wanted to change his decision, will he want to join the Freestylers or the Choir and i told him that the Dance performance was really very attractive but he insists of joining Choir.. So i accepted his decision, as its his CCA not mine. But if i were given a chance to study there, i'll definitely try out the Freestylers. After the performances, Justin went for the Choir audition and i went down to join my mum at the canteen.
At around 11am, the Sec.1 principal-meet-parents session started and there were speech given by both the Vice-Principal and Principal, the HOD CCA, HOD MT and the Chairman of the Parents Support Group(PSG). After the talk, i thought most of the teachers there are very patient and caring and both the Vice-Principal and Principal are very friendly too.
After the more than 1hour talk, there was a Classroom visit with the form teachers. We went to the individual classrooms and the class FT spoke to us. Justin's class is 1/2 and his form teacher is Ms Daphne Ang. Omg, that teacher is a young and pretty girl, around 24 years-old only. Really unbelievable, given her looks and voice, she has the standard to be an actress. I told Justin "Your teacher is damn chio sia, so lucky sia you!" She gave us short speech about the sch-rules and asked the parents for any questions. She will be teaching the class English, and i think she'll teach quite well. :) We left after that, around 12plus..
My impression of the school is commendable. Nice and caring Pricipal and VP, Friendly teachers, Nice ambience, friendly school-mates, good learning environment and good facilities.
Its just so much better than the Secondary School i've studied in so i told my brother to cherish his times there. Anyway i do not have any good memories to share about in CCSS. There isnt anything memorable or proud of except for some good teachers that taught me before.
So i guess that all his time of working hard last year for PSLE has proven his worth and he can get into such a good school is such a blessing for him.:)
