Teachers' Day After-thoughts

I wasn't feeling that well on teachers' day celebration as my eyes were swollen. Feeling a bit down this year - knowing that I will be even more lonely next year (something which I will share next year). The comfort came from the alumni. 4E2 2006 even went to buy a box of donuts from Donut Factory for me. Hui Juain wrote me a letter - made my day in knowing that I have made an impact - that what I had shared with the class remained in their hearts. Of course, there were many others who came back to see us and I must say they had brought back the best teachers' day gift - that they are doing well in life either persuing their studies in ITE, Poly or JC. And of course thanks to those who posted their greetings on my blog. The Sec Ones are cute - thanks to those who had given me the cards. Thanks to Yi Rui and Afidah for making the cookies and cakes themselves as well as Aiping for more cookies.And of course, Se Chen for the little bear, Hui Ting, Janice, Yu yan for the little card and the stick of flower from Tengku. I can't say much about the card from 2E2 but I definitely agree with Felicia all of you are not a bad bunch of kids - just that some are not so appreciative. Of course we are all human, we all make mistakes but we must all learn.

Nothing much to say about my form class - still making my life miserable with 1/3 missing in action on teachers' day celebration. I will have to handle some more disciplinary cases once school reopens. The best teachers' day gift for me will be for them to start behaving and focus on their studies. They do not have much time left - only 4 weeks before their SA2. I really hope they realized the urgency. I will be seeing my Sec 4 classes for the final preparation for their Prelim in the holiday - I must make sure that they do well - Econs being the pioneer batch for 2284 and Pure Geog being the last batch for 2234. I will also be down for a full day filming for the MOVIDZ competition on 6th Aug as the students got into the final. The award ceremony will be on 7th Aug. I sincerely hope that they will emerge as champion though their ranking for Round one is 2nd. We were 2nd last year and 3rd the year before. I will update once the results is out on the 7th Aug!
