It's the Kids: Fuchun Secondary Teachers' Day Dinner & Dance

*Will update with pictures etc. soon
Just got back from emceeing my first actual event outside of yoyos. Awesome show, had alot of fun.
The theme was other occupations and it was quite amazing to see teachers come in as nurses, safari explorers (crazy), lawyers, princesses, we had a few flight stewardesses, pilots, like the whole Tan Tock Seng Hospital (doctors nurses etc.), and a very rare specimen of the samsui woman (who eventually won Best Dressed).
Though there were some minor slip ups here and there it felt very nice. When the crowd is enthusiastic, and (most of) your jokes work, and the food is good, people are generally happy.
During the dinner they played a video of some of the students saying their thanks and sending their love and greeting and I really felt abit like crying.
It's difficult to put in words but I just felt incredibly honoured to host the event for the most inspirational, hardworking people in the world. They don't have their work cut out for them. They're working with some of the most difficult students. On a daily basis taking the abuse, making sure no one kills each other, getting the lessons across, juggling the crazy amount of admin work, marking the assignments, clearing emails, and still retaining some semblance of sanity in themselves, takes a certain kind of amazing.

So thanks goes out to the very kind teachers and staff from Fuchun Secondary School. It was a great honour and I hope you guys had as much fun as me!
All the teachers of the world, I really want to wish you guys a very happy teachers' day. Enjoy yourselves because you truly deserve it.
:-)
