so it was teacher's day celebrations yesterday and is still teacher's day today! HAHA.
how should i put it? so there were tons of mixed feelings yesterday, met up with 4/3 to go back to nanyang, and though i have to admit that the feeling they gave me was much better than last year's but still nonetheless a little disappointing. or maybe im prejudiced right from the start, but i havent quite found the class warmth i was hoping to find in them. its like a clique visit or something, this is what happened when i dont belong to any of them. haha.
but caina and weiwen still kind of made my day. HAHA and weiwen, who says i want to join your ungraded club? xD you better get out of it soon too!
and yeah it was heartwarming to see all the teachers again, though i was half hoping that i could have talked to zhuolaoshi a little more, but considering she looked so freaking tired yesterday maybe i should be nice and drop her an email instead or something. i still remember fondly those yakking sessions she had with us last year, and her wonderful digressing skills from the chinese textbook. (:
and mrs ho! ahhh, how i miss her now, especially its mr ng everytime during maths tutorials. can still remember how mrs yap reminded me of mrs ho on the first maths lesson i had in hc, they are just those kind of super nice and patient teachers... and ah well, considering how horrendous my maths grades are now, i dont have much face to see mrs ho alr >< but dont think i'll ever forget those times outside the staffroom for extra consultation and stuff, and her being so concerned about everything, not just maths. and the constant "eunice, do you understand?" during the lessons to make sure im still somewhere with her. (oh well this was what happened when you were one of the worst students in class -.-)
and mr derek tan went back to nanyang yesterday. it was a total shock to see him since he was no longer teaching there anymore xD it was just an inside joke to say that both of us shal go to marina square more often so there's a higher chance of seeing each other there! haha. bio lessons were never (and chem lessons when miss lee sook cheng was teaching). and singapore is really small, because mr tan knows mr ngoh from the examination board! =p
mrs seah.. hahaha. though i was not very close to her, but i miss her english lessons surprisingly. i used to be quite intimidated by her too-intellectual-and-philosophical questions, but ah well, kind of appreciated those only now. and this cool lady went to shave her head for the act of raising funds for children cancer society or sth and congrats for being one of the finalists for the president's award for teachers! (:
so much talk on good and dedicated teachers, it only means that you have to depend on yourself more if you get teachers who cant really teach.
this september break is getting a little monsterish urgh.
you either make it or break it. 09:37
