27.5.04
day went by a little weirdly...
had a queasy feeling inside...
like you've just got sacked...
and you're packing your stuff into boxes...
colleagues come up to you and ask for HP numbers/MSN handles...
people try to fix to have breakfast/lunch/dinner with you...
suddenly it kicks in that we're leaving...
in a way more sad than not...
i guess we kinda inject some youth in the staffroom...
something they might miss...
maybe they're just glad we're not there to make noise anymore...
but it does feel a little weird...
i'll miss the large comfy workstation...
my neighbours who will just chat with me all the time...
when they're not stressed up over deadlines...
mr lam, the retired GP teacher aka the self-proclaimed kl-kk specialist...
which roughly translates to 'walk here walk there' in hokkien...
the dressy GP teachers, juliana and jasmine...
who never fail to look good every day...
yiyuen, the maths RT...
my fellow chocolate lover...
lay hui, stella's partner in crime...
girl with super alot of things in her drawer...
food especially...

and so many of the perm teachers...

kids did something for me today...
gave me this huge pillow...
handpainted this photoframe with the photo i took with the class the other day...
bernard had fluoroscent green paint on his arm!!!
and merci chocs...
even if they lied when they said i was a good teacher...
i would be rather blissful in that cover of deceit...
had the bunch crowding ard me together outside the classroom...
girls gave me hugs...
guys thank me for the personal notes i wrote in their test papers...
jeffrey came up to me and said i was the only one who commended his effort in the musical...
yan leng took my msg negatively...
till i corrected him...
oh well...
really hope these pple will work harder in future...
they should and they better...

got work to do tonite...
ciaoz...
