Hi ya.. Teachers' Day.

My whole class didn't turn up except for Carlene and me. No banana prata though. The 2 cancerians sat in the hall, with full of envious looking at other class crowding around their favourite teacher, stretching our neck long to see how they present big, and literally big presents to their teachers.

Well, is it that we didn't get good enough teachers to feel appreciative or is it that we are not appreciative. I was jealous of zy and jj. They shared wonderful memories with their teachers that made their jc life so colourful and meaningful. It's just a little bit of contributions and efforts that all of us including limpy have to make right? But ya, it's kinda pointless to say all these at this point of time. However, I do remember and appreciate some fun time we had together, as a class probably.

Suddenly, Mrs Ang BL came into my mind. She taught me in 1998 and I swear I will remember her for the rest of my life. I remembered how I snuggled in her arms and cried when I last visited her when I was Sec4. But subsequent years, she retired and I never hear from her anymore. Really missed her. She believed in me since I was 10. She gave me directions. She made me feel good about myself. I still remember her fish tanks. She sweats alot, she laughs alot and this plumpy lady gives the most wonderful words of praises you can ever hear.

Today during the Teachers' day concert, the emcee said," They inspire us, motivate us when we're feeling down.." I immediately took our my handphone and start messaging old man. Old man is a teacher who doesn't teach me. He came to Damai after I graduated. But he is a great leader who leads damai np, a great teacher who teaches values and life skills, a great friend who hears you out and gave the best words of encouragement. Can't help but to say your name, the big and literally big bespectacled Mr Chua HK. He is not a teacher to me, he is a mentor instead. I will never forget the recognitions, the encouragements, the motivations and the countless care and concern for us, the instructors. We are able to withstand any strong wind and thunderstorms but we knew you will shelter us.

THANKS

Thanks Car too for accompanying me and not gu fu my yi fan hao yi. Even though we were a bit out of place when people are screaming and shouting around, but I guess it's also not bad to feel the atmosphere a bit here and there right?

Happy Teachers' Day.
