Teacher's Day "D

Happy Teachers' Day!!!

Us with Ms Chua

Went to NYJC to find Ms Chua today, and boy was i in for a sweet treat :) Ms Chua treat the 6 of us, David, Rebe, Kuang, Jin Le, Miao Chun and me to Swensens - food & ice cream.

Just yesterday, I smsed her to ask her what time she would be around in school till and told her i would come later because i didn't wanted to clash with the other students she had. Her reply?

"Haha... I doubt I'll be crowded with students here. I'm quite fierce one. They scared of me. Hahaha."

And I replied:

" Haha. No la. You just like air con sometimes only..."

Ah, those times. I remember we would always say that 'the temperature dropped suddenly' the moment she enter the classroom and that her face was always 'black' and sometimes 'blacker' after teaching our class. We use to say that she preferred her NA class over us because she was always in smiles and laughter when around them, and yes, we were quite jealous. Haha.

But, as you can see now, we love her and respect her for who she is and what she does, if not, why do we bother visiting her even after she changed her school?

Ms Chua is one of those teachers who won't give up on her students and would do anything to help her students. Her teaching methods are good and i could actually understand some topics better. Even people like Desmond who always failed his geography could pass his O's. Ahh... He had a lot of incentives from her.

There were other teachers too who played a big part in my secondary school life. People like Mrs Foo, and Mr Lee. They were people who didn't give up on us when we were horrid - both academically and physically.

After the 'big hoo haa' that happened during our mid years, our A maths teacher left and Mr Lee took over teaching us A maths. He stayed with us until the school's closing time just for consultations and extra lessons. Well, he didn't give up on our class, who had only 5% pass in both A and E maths, and stayed with us to the end. So for that, WE LOVE HIM :D

And there's Mrs Foo, my form teacher of sec 1&2. Her life with us hasn't been easy. She was always there to reason with us, rescue us from trouble etc. When we were in sec 2, boy was my class rowdy! In a week, perharps even in a day, there would be more than 1 teacher's complain. In fact, other than our that time maths teacher, Ms Foo, she was the teacher we respected the most and would like not to disappoint. We were extremely guai in class. One time she got so angry with us, she threatened to leave the classroom before any other teacher did again. And, true to her words, the 2nd time she really did that.

Well, my class was really monstrous at that time. I guess it was the boys' rebellion stage. Mrs Foo knows when to separate work and after work. After school, she becomes our friend, but of course there would always be the line. I think that no matter how long after i leave the school, she'll always be one of the person i respect the most.

Okay, because today is teacher's day, my post will mainly be about teachers. So, i apologise for being a nag, reminiscing on the past. But, some people just love to live in the past don't day?

In yesterday's quiet time, it occurred to me that God was actually someone who's hard on the inside, but a big softie on the inside. And then, i started thinking of a food/fruit/snack that best describe that, and, i FAILED.

I'll still continue to think about that....
