moulders of the nationA very HAPPY TEACHER"S DAY to all the teachers in the world, for contributing their lifetime in cultivating us into good adults. for putting their hearts and souls in teaching us everything they could.i didn't go back to my alma mater today. instead, i decided to stay at home and rot my life away. so much of being a good student who remembers those precious people who left footsteps in my life huh?i haven't step into the new campus once, since i graduated almost 2 years ago. i don't know why. i don't have that kind of feeling for that campus, though the people still remains the same. i guess i still belong to the hill-like commonwealth secondary school where i spent my 4 unforgettable years there.though i didn't manage to wish my teachers personally, i still want to express my heartfelt gratitude here:
Mr Steven Quek.
The most wonderful coach one could ask for. be it running or other aspects such as teaching as cme (where we were asked to write the whole of national anthem out as our test).the teacher who changed one's life. Mine, at least. a teacher who taught you the real values in life. i could still remember the days where i stayed up till wee hours to copy the code of conduct. one of those days where the whole class was punished by having to come back to school on a weekend to scrub the netball court for girls and basketball court for guys. one of those days where i had to copy the whole book of social studies book till my hand turned red and hurts.
looking back, it was kind of funny and i guess all these are made up my almost perfect secondary school life.
Mrs Chloe Peng, a patient and dedicated teacher. Thank you for the days when you stayed back almost everyday for us, the weaker students, till evening to help us out in our social studies.
Mr Sim, Miss Vanessa Lim, Miss Janet Tay. My NPCC teachers-in-charge. For guiding us through.
Xue Lao Shi. My secondary one class mentor. a friendly and heartwarming teacher who never once raised her voice at us, even when our class was so noisy then. or when some of us failed to hand in homework on time.
Mdm Ros and Miss Kelly Lim.Thank you Mdm Ros, for the guidance for geography. & for sharing your life with us and your constant advice about time management between cca and studies. about not spending too much time on cca and neglected my studies. (i had two ccas then.)
Miss Kelly Lim, for your love letters to let us know you better. and sorry for those times when the whole class were prejudiced against you as our class mentor and we had some misunderstandings about you. and the times when the whole class cried and went to hug you during the adam khoo's session.
Mr Yong. the funny and blur-looking teacher.
we were always amused by his jokes and his childhood stories.(he always tells us stories during his lessons.) i could still remember some like how he got frightened by a piece of tissue paper stuck on his face as a ghost in the middle of the night. and him looking all over the whole of malaysia to find a screw or something. & i could still remember him limping one step after another into our classroom, holding a walking stick after he had fallen down once in the toilet. and the times when he used to push his luaggage into class with his teaching materials inside. & those wonderful lab lessons. (:
One thing i remembered was that i always didn't pay attention during his lessons cos as much as i tried to, i still couldn't understand what he was saying. all the words that came out of his mouth sounds like alien language to me. so i spent most of his lesson dozing off. hah.
there are many many more teachers i want to thank like:
Qin Lao Shi - my higher chinese teacher. for not complaining despite me always handing up my work late.
Mdm Quek, my physics teacher. For those remedial lessons and those exams papers to help us prepare for our o levels. and of cos, your always heartwarming smile!
Mr Peter Lim - my sec 1 pe teacher. for always teasing and joking with me.
Mr Choo - for your guidance in athletics in our last year.
Mr Leong, Mrs Margaret Loh, Ms Chua etc etc...
and other teachers whom i haven't mention.
4/3 <3s
