1st quarterly passed

reporting by 柯老师,"...... first quarter of the year has past, but the economy has not seem to pick up yet. it is in fact the last quarter of the financial year of 2008, jobless rates still stay, although there has been retrenching exercises been meted out by many sectors for the past year, most notably the banking sector......"

it's the holidays now, so do pick up the papers and keep yourselves updated with the local and current news... it will also help in your homework with newspaper cutting-review. for chinese papers, i would recommend 联合早报 for the whole of this week, since u are not going to school most of the days. i have recommended to elisabeth to get the Monday papers during schooldays if u do not have the time to read the papers, usually monday publishing would have the most news.. or that's what i thought.

back to holidays, it's the holidays!!! it's time to catch our breaths, check on the past 2mths' work and reflect on ourselves, and most importantly, relax and catch up with friends... for me, National Age Group has been moved forward from the usual June holidays to this March. Preparation has been bit of rush, due to me reporting back to GREEN, camouflaged environment for the past 10 days. luckily the coordination has not been affected, and the pre-competition training has been relatively smooth..
so i would wish those who went to take part in the Novice challenge yesterday to have done their best, keep the momentum up for the coming NAG...

and also not forgeting, our March birthday pair, Chermaine and Tommy, who will be celebrating during this holidays. wishing them the best 13th birthday, all the best for their coming SA1 and results further on...
