LUGGAGE CHECK


Don't pack your whole closet Bella.

Just an update of our activities alright. At around 1pm today, the dancers went back to school with their heavy lugages. Today is the day when we weight our bags and check if we brought the right set of clothes. :D Mr Michael was there to brief us about safety precautions such as making sure that we luck our bags (not just luck combination).

Something to be happy about is that none of us exceed the weight limit which is 20kg! The heaviest bad so far is 14kg. After weighing, Mr M asked us about what we have learnt today. So here are few replies:

1. Dance Attire should be all Black
2. Use ziplock as it saves space
3. Go to DIY to buy the Italian plug
4. Do not rely on lock combination, buy extra locks!
5. Have 2 keys for your locks (one for safekeeping)

There are other things of course. However, I shall not list it all down here. Hehe. You may ask the dancers if you want or read their digitalised Journals! :D One thing is for sure, we sure do have a feel of how tiring it is to carry and walk with our heavy lugages! Hehehe.

As Mr M always say, PACK LIGHTLY!

Here are few pictures that we took:




ps/ A round f applause for KARTINI! Eventhough she just reached Singapore (11.30pm) from her Indonesia Holiday, she still went for the luggage checking! YAY.

pps/ 8 more days you guys!

Till the next post,

My Reflections.. XD

The trip to the museum was AWESOME!!
It helps us bond with the other dancers better.
Although some parts of the tour in the museum may be a little boring,
the seniors and the others were there to crack jokes to make us realise that it was worth attending the museum trip.

After the tour,
we raced to the mini activity corner and started with our "making of gladiator's mask".
During the making,
we were all fighting for tapes to joint the parts of our mask.
Within Minutes,
we completed the mask and we proceed to a room like "lab rats" ..

It was a dark room and we watched and witness the end of Pompeii in a 3D version.
The 7 minute show was very interesting as it features the real destruction and the end of Pompeii.

After the show,
there was a short debrief by Mr Michael.
We had lunch together at IMM, Cafe Carter, and Mr Michael treated us.
After that, we went window shopping searching for winter wears..

It was like 6pm that we leaved IMM.. :)

Testing Uno Due Tre ...

Buon Giorno Amici!

The greeting means 'Good Day Friends' in Italian. AES Dance Ensemble has finally made its very own Trip Website or Blog~! Our Principal wanted us to share to the whole school as well as our parents the journey that we will soon embark.

Dancers have been busy preparing for the trip. Three of our dancers went to the Italy Embassy to get their VISA while some of us are busy shopping for our winter wear! We had to make our own Packing List and learning Basic Italian is our individual responsibility as well! WE ARE EXTREMELY EXCITED FOR THE TRIP :D

Few Dates to remember:
29 November @ 11.30am
POMPEII EXHIBIT in the National Museum of Singapore
30 November @ 1pm
CHECKING of LUGGAGE in school
8 December @ 11pm
DEPARTURE

That is all for now. I am merely testing this Blog of ours! Gratzie for viewing :)

Best Wishes,
Dianne Mae ♥
