Nov & Dec Hol HW Update 2nd Jan 2013

Dear all

Happy New Year!

I apologise for the confusion about the submission of the homework. The homework is to be uploaded on this Blog as COMMENTS.

I was wondering why there were not that many submissions as I am most excited to read about your ventures into art and culinary experiences and writing.

I am certain you have finished them and are excited to post them up. Do remember that the deadline is the coming Monday, 7 Jan 2013.

By the way, you may have heard that I will not be teaching your batch in 2013. I have had a most enjoyable year with 1C and all the others whom I have had the pleasure to work closely with. You all show a real enthusiasm for learning and for life and that excitement spreads around and makes everyone's experience as one of the TA family so much more fun.

Now that we are moving on to 2013 and away from 'TA' to TJ, I wish all of you the very best... and I look forward to enjoying your LA Night performances!

Cheers
Ms Goh
