The Undeserved

{ Really Really Really Long Post }

8:30 AM • Sunday, July 19, 2009

Realised that i've never really blogged about my experiences doing relief teaching so far, so shall post bout the diff interesting characters tt came along my way. It's a really long post, so u've been warned. Just skip it if u dun wanna read them. Oh, there's too many people so can't really list everyone, no hard feelings if i left some pple out k? Since most are left out anyways... LOL. Some of these pple will probably not read this too but i'll just list them anyways. So, these are some of the peeps tt have really made my time at NCHS kinda fun in some ways, real special thanks to:

The Crazy and Whacky 2A
The classroom itself is already like in another world on its own! lol.. In fact, it's the ONLY class tt i've never felt stressed in b4, simply cuz it's like going into lala-land! U guys are bright enuff to learn while playing, so yup, had real fun. Will always remember YT, JH, Ralph, Edmund and gang for being the greatest havoc! never fail to "welcome" me in the corridor. Still rmb them trying to strip WX in class some more.. oops! The gals are either too noisy or too bright.. but tt's typical la.

Hmm... Of course i'll never forget Mr Teng Kai Siang! The 2nd time in class, asked everyone for workbook, he say lost and will buy one more. But when I walked to the back, realised Hao xian got 2 workbooks... and he say one of them is Scott's and he just dun wanna touch it... LOL. Still rmb tt how u wanted to leave a test early, so u tried to bluff me by saying tt training started already. When i ask wat time start, u saw the clock wrongly and said 230pm, when it was still 130pm... But I'm glad tt you've improved in your grades, somehow, you've proven tt u can do well when u put in effort!

oh, and Daryl Heng! Gotta keep up the hardwork! Don't think tt you'll always heng heng do well k!? Together with Dyon, HH and gang, 2Gs a real bunch of monkeys to handle eh. But u guys are really good pple too, very jiang yi qi!!!

Zhan Chun and Elvin are always so helpful. I'll nominate them as the best IT reps.. LOL. Very initiative, better than allll the other classes too. Dun worry, u all will grow much taller! (even taller than nicole too, her height will stop ard there le). Soon, u'll be able to touch the top of the projector w/o the chair (like me!).

Jun Han: I'll always rmb how he loves the broom. Wonder how long they'll remain a couple. Always the monkey god. Jason will forever give the sleepy aura (yawnz). Somehow, the way u all improve really encourages me alot! Afrah and Jerilene are the only gals tt ever dared to openly ask me bout Daryl Ng!!! LOL, one the most fun and cool peeps to converse with.

Well... surprisingly... i think 2F's the class tt really got the most real scolding from me, simply cuz they're always late from Art... LOL. No hard feelings, just gotta get rid of tt slacky reputation! Still, pple like Cedric never fails to amaze me with his competitiveness to win sia! Will never forget Ben too! He really reminds me of The Thing from Fantastic Four. (Maybe also as crazy strong too!).

Think I'll miss seeing Chuan Geng's Jumpstart!!! Man, shld have made him do it more often in class!!!! heh heh. He's one of the coolest guy ard tho he doesn't seems like it. Hmm.. ya, think i scolded someone for laughing at him learning how to play badminton, cuz he's seriously cool! Benjamin, all the best to your blog! U just started it, so hope u have fun with it.. Lol.. never fails to yo me for nothing online... Hmm... John's mum told me John only study history and science! Oh man... glad u were inspired to study for my subject(^^) BUT must study for the rest too!!!! Lizhong is surprisingly smart sia, and Roy.. still rmb he made the class quiet on my behalf! Thx! lol...

From 2E, well, thx Chloe for lending me 1st hands! You're an awfully helpful person, even in other times. Alicia's pretty headstrong... I rmb how she bombard me with "Y can't s'pore do other things about the Jap???" oh man! lol.. Hmm.. Think my first time really knowing these pple is when they helped out during the total defence day.. playing with the fire extinguisher... Alicia and Erica were helping out with the sweets-giving and causing chaos with the chops!! Hmm.. there were a few other imps running ard too... can't exactly rmb tho!

Hmm.. seems like tt's about it eh? These are the pple that really made my day in NCHS! All the remarkable pple have been mentioned RITE??? NAH! of course not... these pple will murder me if i fail to mention them:

The 3 Little Pigs
- Pig 1: Tallest (currently) and most cunning (best in acting gentlemanly and good student!!!) But I've seen behind the mask and exposed him!!!!
ok, he's good at dao-ing too, but he's real hospitable yea? At least his family is. They treat him like a prince, always have lots and lots and lots of food for a meal. Ok, but he's smart too. And i'll admit tt he can be kinda disciplined AT TIMES. Choose what u really enjoy to study, yet bearing the future in mind too yea? Triple science, double science, watever. Don't let others tell ya wat to choose. Be clear bout wat ya want. I'm sure your parents will be proud of u. You have my support.

- Pig 2: Sleepiest and have the greatest capacity to emo (it seems) He's perpetually nocturnal, seriously... He can be really insightful. Man, you dun realise how philosophical u get at times, but being insightful's great. Just tt it's real pointless to get lost in your thoughts so.. just take some action. You're more valuable than u look, so dun let the past stop u from aiming for great things. Keep daring to dream!

- Pig 3: Well well well... the Loudest and.. erm.. well.. probably have the most total surface area (HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA) I love seeing him going for detention because he's late... Can always laugh at him conveniently!!!! OMG. ok, abit sadistic here. It's great to be truthful, and i know you're learning to be more sensitive so yup, jia you. Can see tt you're genuinely concerned bout pple and upholding their justice, lol. I'll miss laughing at you. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

ok, so like i've said, anyone i missed out, which is MOST pple, thanks for contributing in some way or another. I've learnt lots and gotta engage in newer challenges ahead! keep in touch!

{ I'm Moving Away~ }

9:26 AM • Saturday, July 18, 2009

Yeah... first up, seems like i'll be moving house soon. Not sure when, but soon. My folks are considering places from as near as bishan to as far as Sengkang. Better try out all the stuffs ard here b4 its too late! lol. Gonna miss this place i'm sure, lots of memories, so i won't deny tt this place will be missed.

And i'm moving away from NCHS too! Moved actually. Going to play with smaller imps in a primary school. Smaller, yes, but still imps i'm sure. LOL. Well it's nearer at least, somewhere in Toa Payoh, unless i end up shifting to Sengkang or Hougang... (wat a joke) Maybe i'll do a Hall of Fame post for some NCHS peeps eh, like those who really made the exp there memorable... Will be a kinda long post tho....

So we gotta move on in life! The past definitely left some good things as well as bad, but it's up to us how we handle wat the past has given us yea? Either be trapped in it or let it build strength in our lives.

A man who looks to the past stays in the past, he who looks to the future, has a future.

{ My Love-Hate Relationship }

3:14 AM • Wednesday, July 8, 2009

Someone told me at work before that the computer and systems are totally dependable. If there's anything that goes wrong, it's the user's fault. And so when my workstation is slow and can't even send emails, i am seen as the problem. After a series of fault-finding and a real frustrating time, it turns out that the computer was already infected with plenty of virus. So much for the company providing their best and reliable computers. Obviously, that didn't go down very well with me, a person who's paranoid about trusting in machines.

Right, so i don't have very good affinity with machines. We kind of like share a love-hate relationship. The computer's connection doesn't really do what i want, the handphone's clock isnt' all that reliable... and EVEN the vacuum cleaner is against me. ARRGGHH....

I'm clinging on to the hope that heaven has no need for machines. If God is almighty, it means no need to depend on machines!
