Parent Teacher Meetings Week 1

After work on Sunday the usual diehards; Libby, Eric, Peter and myself, met up for drinks at Joe's. It was not a late night as I knew I had a big week ahead with lots of Great Race research as well as Parent Teacher Meetings beginning on Wednesday. 
It was a relatively easy walk on Monday from Labrador to Vivo City and as I was continuing with Great Race research after the walk I didn't bother to take my binoculars, so we were very lucky the little purple throated sunbird landed on a branch very close to us.

After another day of GR research on Tuesday I joined Robert, Maria and Elizabeth at Chomp Chomp Food Centre, also known as Serangoon Gardens Food Centre. It is a well known food court in Singapore. This food court is famous for offering a myriad of mouth watering local dishes such as Hokkien mee, satay, carrot cake, bbq chicken wings, grilled stingray, popiah, fried oyster, and prawn mee. Elizabeth was in need of a last taste of Singaporean Hawkers food before she flew out to Hong Kong on Wednesday morning. She is off to start a new job, just as soon as her visa comes through.

Wednesday and Thursday were taken up with a CT scan (following up from last years colonoscopy) and more Great race research/meetings.

The week ended on a positive note with a very positive appraisal from my Annex Head as well as a number of positive feedback comments from parents. For the first time, we were asked to give the parents a feedback form during PTMs. All our responses have been positive and it is very rewarding to be appreciated by name in what was meant to be a general response.
