Trick or Treat – Happy Halloween

As we celebrate our last day of school for the month with boggle and party scrabble, my previous grade 7 students decided to have a small Halloween party together with my grade 6 class. We had our pizza and chicken galore, delivered by the Pizza Company at our classroom. Everybody was happy while devouring on the foods with the thump thump music loudly playing in the background. Some danced, some sang and some rapped! I have the talented students giggling their way on a Friday afternoon.

Though I don’t have any plans to go out of the city this Water Festival, I have decided to spend it with my family – quality time with them and we are going to have swimming sessions for three days! If time will permit, we’ll go to Koh Kong or Sihanoukville for a swim but if we’re not lucky, we’ll end up at the Phnom Penh Sports Club which I think is not a problem as long as we can enjoy and relax. Talking about swimming, I think I will be needing a good swimsuit for this activity. Something nice and comfortable since I gained weight after giving birth to Aiken.
