Happy Bdae!

hey thanks sean for the ball :D

I actually felt loved today...not that I don't feel loved any other day, but today, I felt extremely loved. I was never a believer in gifts, not a gifty person, never did give anyone anything for their birthdays...sure...maybe a little lazy, a little selfish (but i did give cards!)...but so many people bothered to go out of their way to get me gifts today. And Ding was so sweet to remember it as well :D Thanks all....but remember it's not the gift that matters, what matters is that we give our all and our best for one another in terms of commitment and friendship :D And let God into this friendship as well...supporting each other in our spiritual walks

Was actually quite touched by today's teacher's day celebration...thank you prefectorial board...thank you student council..must have been one of the times that i wasn't being a wet blanket about the student council's stuff. Haha...so much talk about them being on...i'm already going to become an 'on' person. As daryl once commented. My enthusiasm is quite annoying.

Oh well. Happy teacher's day. And a tribute to 2006 teachers below:

Mr Alvin Tan (Class Teacher): Never come to school on teacher's day, went to see John's doctor perhaps. Laughs at and loves Eric alot :D

Mrs Sandra Sim (PCT that never taught me :P): Always concerned for the trees at MacRitchie, and I'm sorry I haven't got it done yet!!! According to Fab, always doing something useful and thus v.hard to find on teacher's day.

Mdm Loo Shiek Kien (Motherly Chinese Teacher): Went through several hair makeovers, fought with sickness, and still managed to come back for her students. Most inspiring.

Ms Shue Carolyn Chieng (C Math..C Math): First perceived as the 'crying' math teacher. Unforgettable yellow bag which i had to carry on several occasions. Another hair makeover. And sick two days before teacher's day. Thanks for the free periods. :) Always looking out for Kenny's tie.

Mrs Carol Low (ChemWhiz): Made us laugh by telling jokes that weren't funny, yet we laughed simply because of her attempt to make us laugh. Loved the video on polymers. Interesting accent when teaching. And thanks for the BB photo :D

Mr Jason Chan (very much ignored Physics Teacher): Always neglected. Free period. Loves balancing chairs, playing with little electronic things. Never hesistates to sacrifice his break time or other classes' lesson time to teach us :D

Mr See Boon Thiam (Bio): shoulder dislocates most easily. Makes a great story teller. Loves to entertain with details on parasites like pinworms and flukes. Was my first contact with the express IP world.

Mrs Gina Ong (Half AMath teacher): The only one who did math journal reflections. 200 slides powerpoint presentations. The extendable rod thing. Always loved to wear black and more black. So scary-looking yet so caring and loving on the inside :D. And i was your rep....haha

Mr Daniel Yew (the other half): The mountaineer, never too far away from his markers, safely stashed away in a little waist pouch. Small framed and talks a bit funny..but in a good way. knows/knew how to solve the rubric's cube. Thinks we went swimming when we come back from soccer.

Mrs Elaine Lee (IHS...errr): Gave up her pension for us. Caring. Good humor. Act blur. Mistook PM Lee for Lee Kuan Yew. Loves her notebook (the labtop thing). Was the funniest on the Teacher's day video :D. Interviewed me for IB entry...knowwonder i got in :)

Mrs Mervyln Goh (LArts..): Quirky feminist. Short sparks of genius. Promptly forgets everything after that. Loves Kopi-O, needs a daily dose and conveniently gets students to buy for her...haha. Romeo and Juliet.

Mrs Maria Nathan (Missing in Action LArts B): Not most liked...but did have those fun moments. Delivered a child this year. Apparently the child liked it when i sang the Walrus and Carpenter...yes the weird one...:)

Mr Rasdeen (PE): Undoubtedbly the most 'on' PE teacher ever. Paid attention to the stretches. Loved the circuit training. Likes to ole people in soccer. Punishes people for not knowing his name on the second PE lesson. Thanks for the soccer :D

Mr Azmi (former sensei): occasional meetings. Quirky fellow. Hates self-deprecation...gets pushups for it. Always smiling. Hates tardiness. Do not anger or suffer horrible consequences. Would love to see me put on weight, and it overfeeding me all the time :D


haha that's all. Gots to get back to work now :D
