"U6K-

6 minutes ago I received a facebook alert from EY and it went like this:

"E Y

Awwwww......what memory can be sweeter than this???? ><
6 minutes ago"

It was for a photo that was taken 2 years ago and posted on Facebook just as long ago.!!!

It opened a floodgate of memories ....happy times teaching the zany bunch of U6K.

This is how L H H  described her album:
Hoe Gwang Ban Jo is a Korean proverb used to describe the exact moment before a candle is blown out. It is believed that, at that particular moment, the candle's flame burns the brightest and radiates the warmest of its flame. However this moment only lasts merely a fraction of a second.

This is Album is to compile the last days of camwhoring with fellow Kensettians.


Location: my old school
 
 
My three lovelies Z X, W Ch, H Hs.....

ANSWER to Blue prints: The Gazebo/Pergola or Orchid Shed!


Here's the answer! It's the gazebo! the pergola or orchid shed!
This picture is from Jacey when she came for a sleepover! Enjoying the shade and view from the gazebo


And he made it from scratch! With the plans that he had drawn!

Suddenly the front porch became littered with pieces of wood specially bought
Every sunday is spent cutting and shaping the wood
Holes are dug to anchor the four poles

walls are drilled to hold the wood



He works alone all by himself

I only like to sneak up on him and shoot him!

which is a feat because he has to climb up there alone, balance himself while trying to nail the pieces in place with no-one holding the wood or aiding him
from this.....
to this...takes up all his sundays and public holidays


quite a sadistic worker because everyone else sleeps in on sunday mornings but he is up at the crack of dawn to catch the coolness of the morning before it becomes scorchingly hot

even cuts the edges into wavy patterns
with his thingamajig

then has to plane the wood, fine dust will be flying about

Mr Wong recommends all students buy goggles like these for the lab


almost completed
you can have your cuppa or bbq here
only Emelda can help him if it is a public holiday

bec on Sundays she is off
so clever to drill holes and drive in nails

 making the coffee bar

here I don't know what he is doing, I suck at Kemahiran Hidup (Living Skills)

then the rock garden is fashioned


and goes to the orchid garden early on Sunday mornings when we are all still in bed

to buy the orchids for the shed
tags, photographs, catalogues and labels all the orchids before he arranges them in the shed.
