All is revealed! The three senior class teachers � (from left) Irene (Panda Class), Joanne (Dinosaur Class) and Sandra (Rabbit Class) saying very emotional farewells to their students..
Me introducing Panda Class�s English presentation in Chinese! They recited a dramatized version of a South African poem about a lion in a zoo who wants the freedom of the bush again. My job was to explain to the parents what their children were about to say!
I made another guest appearance with my dance teacher, Chen Yi-Roo, to dance the Cha-Cha. I made a few mistakes but Yi-Roo covered so well for my nervous lapses that I had everyone fooled. They thought I had been dancing for years!
