happy teachers' day!!

haha.
as usual, for accounting i still cannot balance my balance sheet. but i think i did better.. my accounts were 33000 37000. diff of 4000. ahha. coz i post net losses wrongly.

haha.

justin left the hall at 10:58am and aaron left earlier. haha. i was freaking out. i was at like.. Q2. haha. then when i was at around Q2 part b)... the guy sittin diagonally infront of me was filling up his last page template- Q5. scary.
in the end, i did not finish my paper, coz spent too much time on Q2. but. it was better than the last test. i'm goona pass. but not a gd one.


so anyways.

happy me, went back SHPS. only to fins students singing the song "THIS LOVE" by Maroon 5 i think. haha. PRIMARY SCHOOL KIDS. and the drummer.. i thought it was hired by shps to perform or smth. NO. its a primary sch kid boy, playing exaactly like the radio. hohos. just the pianoist and the drummer. there was cool, awesome, stunning, radio-standard kind of playing. minus the singing part la.

i'm really reaally really amazed la. its alwasy when i leave the sch, they have such bands, and implementations to search for music talents. hurhur.

saw mrs low. she's back after her 5 yrs of MIA. mr. ho, my prefect (p4)class form tchr. he still rmbrs me as one. haha. and others. alot of my closer trchrs are either long gone or MIA. ):
and my generation, is supposed to be those in JC/ home clothes. all weren't there compared to the past few yrs. hahaha.they must be in there sec sch.

but one way of telling how well a PRI sch did for their PSLE is to go back to school on tchrs day, and see what kind of students are coming back.
like this yr, alot of RI students, a handful of TKGS, acs, sas, rgs, cedar... all quite impressive.
haha. but quite sad. the prefects aren't as efficient and automactic as my yr's haha.

ok..
so after quite a lonely shps gathering.. hahaha. went to back to kc.



literally. 4/6s were there. so (: to see them. tchrs are also happy. ms wong, ms gammar, mrs lim, mr pang, mr karib, zhuo lao shi, mrs esther ng, ETC. man. (: miss them la. took phoots.
and caught up with many friends that i struggled with, together. i miss all of them.
i just feel that each and everyone of the four-sixer has played a significant part in my life. especially my life in the exco board where problems/conflicts have to be resolved asap. haha. (OB application) but really. if i could thank all of them, i will. (: to see geraldyne. we're best friends. and somehow. its like though far, we're near. i really wonder how's she.

aha. so after all the hey here and there, played piano with sara. HILARIOUS. we're certified CHEENAFIED COMPOSERS.haha. we're hitting all the black keys (# & Bb) on the piano... then create a story using fluctuations of the climax of music.
HILARIOUS. gd time spent with her. its been long since i've laughed and be myself- bakc at home.

then was out with bro. promised to be out with him eons eons. haha. we checked out almost all sports shops in town. saw coach aiysha and ifa!! (: i love aiysha. i just duno y, but i love my rugby coaches.


lastly.



(:
in poly, tchr's day are not appreciated. i hope this appreciative spirit of tchrs' day dun just die down like that.
ok. this is a note to tchrs:

Dear tchrs of my life (haha),
thank you for building me to who i am today. be it teachers, dance instructors, cell leaders, tutors, music tchrs, or my dearest coaches, you've touched my life, ALOT and u guys dun even know it.

back to kindergarden- mdn shantila and erm.. my nursery and k2 form tchr and huang lao shi. hahah. y i can rmbr ur name is because of ur fun guidance that has set my bench mark in learning. the table u guys laid was been indeed a firm foundation for me to stand on. and that was the beginning- you guys marked it.

i always loved my pri sch. pri 1, mrs yee siew chin, ur strict discipline and really taught me well. i rmbr clearly how particultar it was to write the day on the top left of the pg and the date (in full), on the top right of the page. both must be neatly underlined with a pencil and a ruler. for 2 yrs. for every single worksheet.
mrs cecelia ng.- maths remedial from 9-12. the differences between comparision model and part whole model. for every single maths problem sum, there had to be a model. u've trained me well to compete with andrew lee and bryan ngeo in maths. (haha).

mrs josephine tan. ur last normal stream class b4 u went on to teach the GEP students. u've nv looked down on me, constantly encouraging. many a time i fail as a monitress, ur compassionate heart leads the way. and u gave me further opportunities to lead. ur countless encouragements led me competative for what i wanted, what i hoped for. and it was the streaming year. and in addition, u had us journals written, i'll nv forget ur reponses, takign time to hear our complaints from the 40+ of us. and the MOTIVATION CARD was literally my motivation. u made me want to give my best to get those fanciful colour 'chops'(is this how u spell it?). and with that, never would i thought in my life that i'd get 1st in class.

went on to 5/7. known as the for-those-who-didn't-like-higher-chinese class. struggled alot. and thats when Mrs low came in. grp points were given, healthy competition in class. and ur prizes for every term were so attractive that our group always won. term 1-a trip to a east coast bowling alley (before marinebowl). term 2- invitaion to your house. term 3-a treat from pizza hut. term 4- both 1st and 2nd groups had bags of snacks (we won 2nd for that term). haha. it was that very term, that bowling was introduced into my life and i had a score of 31, with the help of your husband. just with that feel of bowling, i went for KC Bowling trials.
and to mr. ho, the class that i was incharge of, also known as the most notorious class', u gave me support every morning, both physical and moral. u understood my position and backed me up. u made me want to prove myself more. u made me want to stand out no matter how afraid i was.

PSLE. competition. i was afraid. countless efforts put in by the tchrs. esp Mrs soong, the head of maths. becase the previous yr qs were mostly puzzles, u have Maths Lecture for Pri6 students. lasted for 2 hrs. i' really wish to have those notes again on how to solve puzzles like 1+2+3+4....+97 and Qs similar to all these.
u made me love maths and gave me challenges.

and then. was an unwilling 6th choice to KC.

sec1. everyday, reluctantly put on that ij uniform to go sch. everyday, i lost hope. i successfully made it throught the bowling trails with uncle francis and mr. lim.
mr. lim pushed the team. to work like we'd never train before. he set that standard, if unattainable, feel free to excel in other sports. as a batch, we worked hard to win the nationals in 4th, bringing so much encouragement to the team. without your countless support, encouragements, scoldings, thrash out, anger, we'd won't be who we are today.

sec 1. with that sour heart, i turned down the offer to be a PeerSupportLeader. felt that KC didn't need ppl like me.
in sec 2. mrs boey. u stepped up the discipline. u were so so so particular about neatness, and quality of work. somehow, i wanted to show u my best. i wanted to excel in my work. i strived so hard in my acads to just meet ur expectations. with that, i went on to 3/6.
u opened more doors for me.
and thats when the big decison came in, alongside with mr. lim's. the team and mr.lim wanted me to be the Captain, but u wanted me to be a trainee prefect.
mr. lim wanted me to choose. i felt knotted. that was the biggest choice i had to made so far. u guide me. supported me. and most importantly, believed in me. u pushed me in the end, to hold 2 positions.
that v yr, my dad left forever.

in sec 4. mr lim left to another sch. my pillar of support seemed to evaporate, but the workload kept piling. i jumped from a trainee prefect to an exco prefect, feeling confident, yet weak. the bowling team wasn't doing well. neither were my studies. additional stress. the lack of a tchr i/c made me worked doubly. juggling all forms of responsiblites wasn't easy. on this part, it was my friends who supported me. (haha) i struggled so so hard. till july. till august. and finally september when i knew i needed to let go.
i stepped down. but still faced more problems.
mrs teo, loved me. guided me. and she gave me more help that any tchr or friend would give. we cried together for the love of the sch. by then, kc was my 2nd home. all in the name of the sch, for the glory of Christ. haha. in addition, to mrs koh, u set countless barriers for me. for chem, from a F9 to a C6 made buy my 2 packets of milo. for bio. from a D7 to B4, made u (:
and for all this while, mr lim, u were still msging me to remind me how impt i was to ppl around. especially my family. thank you.
i'll nver forget this words u said to me during my nationals, "where that strong marian that i always see?" . just with that, i promised not to give up in anything i do.

a special tribute to steph sim. she has taught me alot of things. be it acads or leadership, she has pushed me to grow stronger and more discipline. she reminded me on task orientation and it was because of her that i was inspired to not procrasitinate sooooo much. the writing side of be was also partially because of her. her notes are like everywhere. everything was accoutned for. and she's really a true model of our sch's INTEGIRTY values. somehow, she proved the importance of values to me. she prove the importance of task and expectations.

thank u pat for always guiding me and giving solutions to my probs. adeline, joanne, agnes, kimberly, lynette and elaine, for the support in my walk with God. bernice and zheng for motivating, inspiring me to move on.

till now. ppl are still mould me. marli, aiysha, uncl lawrence, xavier and alvin-my ex triathalon coach (ahah!!). i really honour you guys and respect the determination that all of u have. u've led us well. taught us well. trained us hard.


if its not for the opportunities given to me, the struggles, the barriesrs, the countless motivation and encouragements that u've ever given me, i'm sure i wouldn't have gone this far. my lessons and experinces are really valuable.
thank you.
there are many more ppl who has indeed be my 'earthly moulders' too many to be named.
and if anyone of u should feel unloved, pls know that u have touched at least a life in this world.



Happy Teacher's Day
