HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!!!!!

HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!!!
to all my "official" teachers and to all who are my teachers by teaching me valuable lessons in one way or another...
(my parents, primary & secondary school teachers, principals and vice principals, tuition teacher, pastors, adult leaders in church, pastoral staffs of my school, friends, SPs, etc...)

I had a great time making gifts and cards for my secondary school teachers this year. It was fun, enjoyable and satisfactory because I was really grateful for my teachers and felt happy personally making gifts of appreciation for them. Indeed, when you imagine and "probe" in your imagination into the lives and sweat of the teachers, you'll realised their hard work and effort, even though sometimes you may have a grudge on them.

I feel that we shouldnt be so commercial in the sense that for the sake of a day called "Teachers' Day" than we go buy something... but we should always be thankful for them; we can occasionally say thank you to them in school and make their day. Like for example when you go find them after school for something, before you go just take the effort to say thanks.

Though sometimes I understand that being caught up in the busyness of school life, we forget to appreciate our teachers and get angry with them when we cant see eye to eye. I fall under this catergory. So when teachers' day was round the corner, I paused and thought, reflecting upon my teachers and their hard work, and looking behind the lessons, I see their sweat and effort.

If you have not yet taken the opportunity to thank your teacher, do so asap, even if you have to wait until school reopens. For me, I am going to try to make a continuous effort to thank my teachers every now and then, and not just wait till teachers' day.

I liked what one teacher said to me, "How come you giving me a present? I am not teaching you this year... It is students like you who makes a teacher's day."

I am not saying this to exalt myself, but to emphasise the point that with such simple thanks you can bring a smile to someone and make their day. Continue even to thank those who taught you in the past. For every teacher makes an impact in your lives.

Well, thursday was a great day... it was teachers' day celebrations. i managed to pass my gifts to all my teachers whom I made for, with the exception of my form teacher becoz she was sick. Well, anyway becoz that day we had aceas day, we started off with it. It was really fun and hilarious!!!

There was a teacher who got saboed to go on stage with a few others to do the aceas day workout. He was simply hilarious and very funny. He initially had his shirt tucked in, then he pulled it out on stage, then later after the workout in went his shirt... and his actions was hilarious.

Anyway, I went back to primary school, which was fun, catching up with my exclassmates... and there was my pri6 form teacher, still the same since I left, ready to take photos of whoever from my P6 class that came back. Indeed, the guys had grown so so much. They are like all so so tall... I feel so short and am envious =D

Then later very funny. After photo taking, my 3 girl friends and I wanted to go Junction8 for lunch, and we asked the guys if they wanted to go. Well, they said okay. Then we went together, though the boys mostly talk among themselves, and so did the girls. And all of us had no preference where to go for lunch, so I suggested to the girls to follow the guys so that we dont have to decide.

They took the escalator down and I joked that they were going to NTUC to buy food to cook for us... and they really went in. We were shocked but followed. Leading us one round, they just wanted to buy some drinks I think. Well anyway we settled for the food junction and miraculously found seats that were enough for all of us almost immediately.

However, during the entire meal, I realised something very interesting. As the guys were sitting at one side and the girls at the other, we didnt talk much to each other. The only guy that talked to us girls a little was mainly the guy who was sitting nearest to us, and he used to be very quiet in Pri6... glad he opened up, but very sad that the others, whom we used to joke and talk in class in Pri6 seemed all of a sudden quite acquaintance and anti-social. Oh well, guess it's the different gender and the time gap. *shrug*

Yesterday, Friday, was very very good. I very long, for about two years havent really gone swimming. And I finally went. Thank you Lord for good weather as we were worried it might rain because of frequent rain the past few days.

L-cell was very good too... and it was my brother's birthday!!!

And today, saturday, I am very very happy, because my friend whom I missed very very very much finally joins us again for FUEL after so many months. Really very very happy... Not that I dont have any friends, but just glad that one more of my friend has joined us. Been praying for quite a while. Hopefully she will come more often after this. YES!!!
