Went to Esplanade.

Went to Millenia Walk after that, to find CANDY EMPIRE!! While walking there, saw 2 huge Banaos, took a picture and send it to XF to spite her. Wakakaka!

Hello not-so-fun day.

Changed to a new blogskin, didn’t really like the previous one. And that someone won’t say that I copy her…

(Oh my god… endless nagging is killing me.)

Anyway, had sectionals with the peeps today. Sadly, only Joey, Jaslyn, Jiaying and TianYan turned up today. BUT, of course we managed to have fun as well : D After sectionals, we went to have lunch at YumYum Tree, that place brings back tons of memories. Ate and went home to rot.

I think I wanna cut my hair to bangs (?!) I don’t like it the previous time I cut it… but just have this temptation to change my hairstyle. Since I obviously don’t want to cut my finally long hair to uber short hair, the only chance will be fringe.

I can’t have long fringe anymore, since I will be giddy if I have it. It’s really weird, I use to have a bloody long fringe when I was secondary one. Those ah lian days… Hahahs! And the fringe always covered one of my eyes, I was totally fine with it. But nowadays I realize if one of my eyes is covered when I’m walking, I’ll be super giddy. Oh man, loser-ish.

Btw, there will be 3 posts today!!

Waiting for you to come back...

This reminded me of something, or should I say someone?

Are teachers these days too much? I have really caring teachers, responsible teachers, strict teachers and arrogant teacher.

Typing this down in a blog, where everyone and anyone can access, is really jeopardizing my O levels and the kind of life I'm going to have next year. But, oh damn it, it's not like I'm mentioning the person's name here right? Who would know who the hell I'm talking about? Of course... other than my whole class...?

This particular teacher is actually really nice. Nice is a super duper general word. "Never use the word 'Nice' in your essays, it's way too general" Every kid, every student hears that sentence at some point of their studying life.

She's nice because she teaches well, I think. She goes through the homework with us, etc. She does her work well, as I heard from some people. She cares about us, she wants us to healthy, she may feel like any typical teacher to any typical student. But not to me, maybe to a handful more of students and to her own ex-students.

She tells us jokes, shares her life with us. She's fun, I agree.

But, telling us what brand of cars to buy, where to go for holidays, what brand of car your father drove when you were young, how people should never drive a good car if you're living in HDB cause everyone will be jealous of you to the extend that they scratch your car. This list, can go on forever.

Well, she makes the lessons interesting, seriously. But the point is, we don't really care. Or at least I don't care. Telling us what you and your friends did, I don't care. Telling us about your boyfriend, I don't care. As a student, I love it when my teachers crap in class. Time goes by and we have a good time. She's probably the first(and only) teacher that I felt that could just stop and teach.

Maybe she did it to lighten the study mood, to let us have a little break, to make us feel more interested in her lesson. However, she did it so often that she just seem really pompous to us. That she couldn't stop bragging about her last trip to wherever, what she did and what plane she can afford to take. That she couldn't stop telling us what brand of cars her family used to and currently own.

I have seniors who used to be taught by her. Sad to say, their impression on her is similar to us.

I wasn't always unhappy about her, she did do me a favour which I will forever be grateful to. Then there was the days when she wore a bare back sleeveless shirt to school that made me snapped.

Typical school day, typical teacher wearing sleeveless shirt. We didn't realise anything in class since it was really warm then and she had her hair all over the big hole behind her shirt. Then came some lesson that we had to change classroom, I was walking and I saw her shift her hair to the side of her shoulder, you know, showing her back, in front of a Sec 5 classroom. Then I was totally appalled, a teacher wearing bare back shirt to school? If I hadn't mistaken, my school has its reputation for a lot of things, a lot of good things. But seriously, BARE BACK?! Those of you who think that 'Aiya, just a school. Teacher only mah. Cut them some slack lah!'

Well, I think that if some teachers wear a cardigan to a boiling classroom because their dressing was inappropriate (sleeveless) then why can her wear bare back? And must she do that in front of a Sec 5 classroom? Just before going into their class? She should know that she is teaching a Secondary School, not a bloody Primary School where all the kids will not have any reaction from seeing such sight.

"We will be purposeful in what we do..." I extracted this from MOE website, The Teachers' Pledge.

So what is the purpose in wearing that to school, as a teacher? If you reprimand your students for dressing too racy to school, shouldn't teachers set an example? And till now, I still hadn't figure out why was she telling us those things about her life. Someone shed some light on me?

There goes my Secondary 4 life.
