Farewell outing with 4E3

Sorry guys for taking so long to upload these. I must say a big thank you for organising the outing especially to Dinie who was the main coordinator for the whole thing...although I burnt a hole (and a huge one ok) during the outing, I am glad to see smiles on the faces of almost everyone. My initial fear that I would cry was pointless as no tears were really shed (except for 1 person). I guess we were all mentally prepared to say good-bye and we just want to wish each other the very best as we move on.

To 4E3, thank you for being such a charming form class. Although some of you really gave me headaches, I have never failed to believe that ALL of you are good people. I had difficulties initially with some of you who are really stubborn people, but sometimes the little messages and notes that you gave assured me that you are on the right path. Work hard, people! I want to laugh and cry in joy with you next year!

Last Day of school - With 4E History Elective class

4th June 2008 spelt the last History class I would ever have with my 4E class. As much as their mid-year results were very disappointing (no one knows it better than they themselves do), I still believe that they will rise to the occassion and perform to their best ability.

Certainly the sweetest graduating History class I have ever had. I will never forget the lovely birthday surprise, sweet farewell (knew you guys were up to 'no good' when you actually rejected my idea to cancel class) and unwavering support and understanding. Not forgetting the 'gila girls' who can really make and spoil a day!

Just want to wish all of you the very best! Work really hard to prove that you can!

Last official Day in School - with 4E3

Well well...here I am trying very hard to update the blog. Know many of you have been waiting for this - the pictures taken the last day of school! Special thanks to Datin, who was our official photographer for many of the photos. I must say that she did a great job! In the meantime, enjoy! Will be back with MORE!

Disappointed

I was supposed to post about my super mega birthday celebration last week but before I could complete the post, something very disappointing happened today.

I know you are one of the few who will be reading this and you know who you are. I am terribly sad that you actually joined the rest in doing something so silly and dumb. What on earth were you guys thinking when you decided to just skip the assembly and play with some stupid paper planes in class? It's very ironic. I was just sharing with someone important in the school on what kind of values I have been teaching my students. I proudly told her that I keep telling my pupils to 'always fo the right things'. For the 5 others, I guess I won't be as upset but Mr P, you have been under my charge for 3 years and 4 months now while the other 5 have not been with me since sec 1. I only taught them on and off for 1 year plus. You know very well that my expectations are high but not unachievable.

Suddenly, I feel that I have failed once again. All the while, I have not been able to reach out to the 6 of you. Maybe I should stop being upset about you guys. I only have 2 months left here. I would rather remember the happy times and treasure my time with the rest who really care.

Disillusioned...
