Happy Teachers' Day
Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 1 September 2007 in People & Portrait.
1st September marks Teachers' Day over here in Singapore.
I love teaching,interacting with the kids..now that I am home,i do miss teaching sometimes. I was joking with my good friend Kat that perhaps i should go and get myself a teacher's day present and she,also a teacher-turn-homemaker suggested we could each buy a present and exchange,lol...This is what she bought for me,a nice straw bag(which i am deciding whether to use it as picnic bag or tuition bag),a big plush toy and a bouquet of my favourite flowers delivered to my doorstep. Ian couldnt help licking and touching it so i gotto make this shot quick,lol.
Kat is really one blessing in my life, a friend in times of need and a friend who has great humour and kindness. Thanks Kat,for this wonderful Teacher's Day gift. Happy Teachers' Day to you too:)
To all teachers out there:
HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!

a ex-teacher friend at the secondary school (two jobs ago) i taught in orgainzed a gathering of old boys/teachers/teacher's-at-heart associates today for a high tea but alas i can't go because of the work i have to clear up before the coming busy week...haiz wish i could go...but...
nvm i can celebrate it online with you and the rest who are teachers, ex-teachers and of course the greatest teacher of all - SAHMommy-teachers!

i really like Ian's expression and posture here - look like a cool dude with that little finger pointing down and that palm resting cool on his lap! :)
i wonder what he is thinking? maybe "Hey I wonder if mommy will let me have the teddy bear for lunch..." it looks as big as he is!!!

Hey... happy TD to you too. A friend like Kat is always wonderful to have around. You are both blessed. Caled is growing... I love as he's looking really serious here. Apparently, he is a very intelligent boy.

Happy Teacher's Day! What an adorable little boy you have here (and Ian is one of my favorite names). The bag is so colorful and even cuter with the little bear.
