SMAK G.S. websites & weekends

Dear Diary,
What a week! Quite tiring emotionally,
while I'm still recovering my osteoarthritis, esp. at my ankle joint, sigh!

As usual, I updated SMAK PENABUR Gading Serpong websites at http://www.bpkpenabur.or.id/en/school/smakgsjkt with 6 awards the Brilliant class students year 11 have scored in the past 2 weeks, and the result of physics olympiad training.
Check it out guys as I also include other schoool's achievements as well. Wink!

Now what have I done this weekend? Well, e-mailing on some students' delayed submissions,
my submitting exam problems for the foundation, just entering marks to
Cambridge class year XII through SMAK 1 BPK PENABUR Bandung web at
http://www.smak1bpkpenaburbandung.or.id (thanks, webmaster Mr. Rudi, for giving
me tips how to add more tests) and voila! A stop at the Puri Indah mall yesterday.

I had been informed of SMPK 7 PENABUR Jakarta performance on guzheng
(Chinese zitter) at Puri Indah Mall at 3 p.m. yesterday, and a sudden notice
the night before let me know to stop by at the BPK PENABUR stand for some
possible inquiries on Brilliant class programs. Yes, I did drop by for +/- 2 hours.
At least 2 of the 4 parents were interested in dropping by the school with boarding
houses, while the other 2 worried if their kids could not stand the burden of
studying in the Brilliant class. You bet!

And yes, the guzheng performance was one unique thing to observe.
6 secondary school girls of SMPK 7 and their instructor, Ms. Yuli, performed
4 songs, but what surprised me, and the audience, was the performance of
the modern dance groups! 2 of the 6 participants registered came from
SMPK 7! And what rocked was the year 8 dance (I was teaching them English)
ended their dance on the stage with a "chain falling" of bodies
with a thump/hit on the 3-meter board near the backdrop, swaying it.
What a roar! The audience cheered as well. Haah.

Well, here I am now, on Sunday, relaxing, ready to dine my fried rice
with meatball, and dashed to ITC Permata Hijau. Got to replace my
dying mobile phone with a new one, I meant, a second/used one :)

Love,

Sir
