Celefest 14 July

For once I am uploading images on time and not too late after the event! And another first is the fact that there are so many pictures of people. Which I am not too inclined to, but it was good practice with the new camera. Again, I used mainly P mode (and Auto when I got lazy), and I also tried out the multiburst function. I know that some of the images weren't composed very well or slightly blur, but I am breaking the camera in and getting used to holding a new weight.

So, to kick it all off, pictures of Mr Chew prior to Celefest (school funfair) ...with (yes that IS a cow! It was used to dispense beer but this time it was used to dispense milk to make milkshakes) his new room mate. It has a HUGE red cow bell that makes a resounding clang. You have to grow a pair in order to ring it in the middle of the school office.

And here's Mr Chew riding the cow, as instigated by Aunty Ivy. She brought him a little blue stool and got him to climb up. It looks rather painful. Hmm. Yes. Well I bet he could fit inside that cow!


Getting acquainted with his new best friend. Heigh Ho Patches!


Hooray for Combat Skirmish! My class was sponsored by a rather wealthy person. So we could afford to employ the company to come in and organize the game, which is basically outdoor laser tag for those of you who don't know what it is. Eh heh. We have big guns. Heh heh.


Here are a bunch of 6Y people posing for a shot...their stall offered a photography service, whereby costumed figures ran about the school to take photos with people. Free cookies! You can guess what costumes were rented...


And outside the office, Ms Ros and Aunty Liza selling books of coupons. There are so many. It's crazy.

Presenting...Superman (Aqeel) and Supergirl (Ria)! Heh.


Aaaand Venom (Mark) with his good pal Darth Vader (Jackson). Join the dark side...


...we have COOKIES! Yeah. Kams is looking very, very pleased indeed. But who could blame her? She's got aaaalll the cookies!


Kevin and LH aka Spidey acting as tough guys while messing with the Combat Skirmish guns.


Ria giving a supersmile! (Pardon the bad superjoke.)


Bryan is attempting to be scary. Uh, right.


Ms Loh due for dunking! Yes, revenge, at last...


There she goes! Arms in the air as a gesture of surrender...

Teachers are real good sports when they want to be. So besides agreeing to be dunked, they also played Combat Skirmish and attempted a second childhood. I do believe many succeeded. Here is Mr West, looking every bit the part of a soldier...complete with neon sunglasses and battle stance.

Mr Chew, the best sport of them all (especially for riding the cow!) with his winning, wrinkly smile. Not to mention those kickass glasses!

Yes, he's out to make a killing today (with colleague Mr Lim in the background), and he's not talking about money! We got a teacher's team to play against a student team, and the teachers won. Go figure.

Off he goes for a respawn...looking as cool as ever, and clearly having a very good time.


Well, you didn't think Combat Skirmish was for all the youngsters did you? Bring on Dad's Army!

Mr Teo, trying to look like Rambo.

But he is very good at this! There's Mr Chew in the background, battle-ready...

Good ol' Dr Barrett. Awfully good sport, what. (He was dunked too! There's pictorial evidence.)

Apparently he spent the 15 minute game staking out the alcove by the biology labs on this floor. Still, I'm sure he had a pretty good time. He looks just like a schoolboy! Give the old boy some credit, eh?

Here's the best of them all! Dear old Mr Chen aka CCC. The general of Dad's Army, reliving his childhood. He really does look the part!



Yessir, aim for the goal...this is by far my favourite image.

That hand in question belongs to Mr R. Lim, who finally admitted defeat to a couple of schoolkids...

They'll have a job finding Nemo when he's hiding like this...

There goes Mr Teh dashing up the stairs sharpish, with opponent team in hot pursuit!

Good ol' Mr Ramesh, with his unmistakeable red shorts. Gotta love the shorts.

Here's Mr Lim again, staking out the toilets, with one unfortunate Hian Lee camping out inside.

Brothers in arms: (almost) All in red from 6X: Kev, Munjen aka Kenneth and Jums aka Ameer.

Kevin. Showing off. "Boom! Headshot!"

The Year 6 boys team...

Kevin and Mr Clarence, looking very pro and Counterstrikish indeed.

And finally, Dr Barrett being dunked! Cheers all round, Ladies and Gentlemen, for Uncle Steven has dunked the great P!

Whew.That's it for Celefest! The rest of it wasn't all that interesting to photograph since I was taking them for personal use, so for once I could omit any other informative images that I would have had to take otherwise. That took such a job uploading, now my eyes hurt. Hope you enjoyed them. More photos to come, stay tuned!
