I went back to my 2nd home today.
Gave Mrs Ismail a really big hug.
Her memory is failing her again.
I doubt she remembers my name.
Then there was Ms Poon..

Me: Hi Ms Poon! Happy teachers’ day!
Ms Poon: How’s life?
Me: Just like that lo.. Prelims is one week away..(grumble, grumble…)
Me: So where is that Mr NG? Heard he flew to another country..(sarcastically + clap hands in silence)
Ms Poon: Oh I really don’t know because I haven been teaching already.
Me: …
Me: Huh? Then what are you doing now?
Ms Poon: Teaching tuition and.. I am getting married.
Me: Congrats! When are you getting married?
(the conversation goes on…)

I wonder if my decision to go back was the right one.
I knew the feeling of nostalgia would hurt
The feeling of knowing that things will change hurt even more.
Although I have been going around encouraging people that we have to put down things and move on
But I am the one that is unable to put down.
I have to admit that I hate changes and am resistant to change
Ms Yip, Ms Poon and now who’s next
My juniors are all graduating. I guess I never will have a chance to step into the choir room again.
Left with the last batch of juniors now.
They will be handing over this April.
After that, there will be no one else I know wearing that green uniform when I come back next time.
Life is hard. If only one can remain in their current situation forever will things be better?
At least there will be no change, no deaths.
But on the contrary,
If life had remained stagnant, I wouldn’t have met great people that influenced my life in Nanyang Junior college.
Especially the teachers, especially Mr Haniss..
Happy teachers day to all the teachers out there.
Thank you to all the teachers who existed in my life.
You all showered love for us and helped me attain results that I never would have imagine getting.
Your kindness for us will never be forgotten, regardless of where you are now.. ______________________________________

dear dear and i after the celebration..
didnt know she is crazy over mr bean's ice cream as well..





Don't we all just wish that the Olypmics table tennis match would come to a closure immediately after the team match?

Li Jia Wei lost to Guo Yue 4-2. A few of my friends and i felt sad for her when she broke down after the match.

A repeat of history.

(Speaking of Jin Jun Hong, i was rather surprise that a lot of my classmates do not know her.
Admist all the craze and fever over the 3 current stars, we really should not forget this pioneer table tennis player that had made us believe that Singapore is capable of winning the medal.)


Although i have yet to see in the news or media, but i believe that a lot of people, inevitably, would compare Li's performance to that of Feng Tian Wei's. This have led me to wonder if Li's decision to withdraw from the next olympics is a wise choice.(i am not saying she wont make it next time, but at least it wont hurt her again) However i still think that Li Jia Wei's performance was still spectacular. It is normal that nerve will still get on to one especially when one recieve the support of the whole Singapore. Just hope that some people will stop criticising her..


School was great.
Previous years i had an apathetic attitude towards the olympics, because sports have never interest me so much. However this year's olypmics is so different. Partly because the table tennis team made it far and that it is held in China, a country closer to Asia. However the most important factor that made me feel so excited about the Olympics is because of the fever in school. Everytime we hear roaring coming from the atrium, one would know that the match have started and will not hesitate to put aside their school work to view the match at the various broadcasting area. Another thing i love about Nanyang.. the " on-ness" of our fellow schoolmates. I am guilty for going late for Chem remedial to view the match as well.
Well at least it is not just me...
There were more people than what it seems.


Very last tutorial of the year..
As much as we dislike going for tutorials in the past, but suddenly when all these will become history, we start to feel unwilling to let go..
I thought i sensed Mr Ong rather emo. He bought chocolates for all of us. I guess his sacarsm towards us have evolve to good mutual feelings. Absence makes the heart grow fonder <3


Letter of congratulations

Ms Soo was my geography teacher and choir teacher in charge for 2 years. I remembered her as a strict teacher who is very particular about our discipline in class. Her most unforgettable times during the lessons were all the cold jokes that she crack that literally freezed us all to death. She is a wonderful teacher with such great tenacity and has definitely helped bring the name of AMKSS choir to greater heights, coordinating and helping us to stage our very first inaugural choir concert in 2003.

I recalled that we were still teasing her then, persuading her to find a partner. If I haven remembered wrongly we even went to match-make her with another sissy male teacher.

The time when she told us she was leaving school on a mission was during the last day of my secondary 2 semester. I could still remember that the whole class was already crying badly because we will be streamed into our different classes from then on. Her leave was another blow for us which made me cry even more badly. However, I am not sure why, but I could still remember the words that she said to us that day before she left. She said, “Life has many stages and one cannot stop in one stage but to move on…”

We have moved on to our different stage of life. Now she has moved on to her new stage of life. And I believed that her decision to move on was a right one. Finally the day big day that we were all waiting for. Congratulations to Ms Soo and may you have a blissful and long-lasting marriage.
