P.S - This is a really long post but I really hope that you all my friends will have the patience to read all of the words and not skip through to understand what I'm trying to tell you all and my feelings in me.
Currently I'm working at Yew Tee Pri Sch as a IT Trainer which is a so called IT Teacher in the school. Have been working here for about 2 months. Actually not much to do right now as it's Term 4 already and there is PSLE for P6 and End of Year Examinations aka SA2 for rest of the pupils. My only lesson Info Comm Club(ICC) is suspended due to the exams.
I've nothing much to do that I actually email-ed the HOD of IT to give me work to do. She didn't reply and say anything when I see her thus I guess there is really nothing really much to do. I've bond well with the 2 TA here and I can say very well as both are jus one or two year older than me. They are m'sian and I love hearing them talk about m'sia and things happening there. It is really funny and sometimes unbelievable. I also talk about Sg to them and compare. There is actually another IT Trainer from my company too but he has shifted down to the staffroom to sit while me and the 2 TA sit in the Lab IT Department Room. Now we 3 sit inside the room always tell stories, jokes around and of course say bad things about.....
When I first came into this school, I thought it will be very hard for me to blend with them but I'm really great to have chosen this job and rejected delivering goods. Now I always tag around with them, notice how they handle technical programs and thus I learn alot of things. When I ask them questions, they will help me and teach me. They are really crap and funny character. I also help teachers in solving their problems and helping them to do some tasks which to them is difficult but for me is damn easy like editing audio by cutting and pasting them and technical wise problems which I've learn before or from the 2 TA.
Anyway the main thing I've the urge to blog is because I saw my secondary school teacher Mr Kong! I still remember when I was sec 1 the first day of sch I walk pass the office he caught me with dyed brown hair and put me into the office for caning and my mum is called in! first day somemore! Aiya but cannot blame me cause when I was in primary school I mix with the wrong company of friends. He even know my cousin who is the Ex-National Basketball Women Team player and complain to her! After that I was always been marked by him! He Still got alot of stories of my sec life but I'm not going to write about it. Haha.
I was walking past the General Office with the 2 TA working on something when I saw Mr Kong sitting in there! Haha. Really surprise to saw him there. He asked me why I was here and I told him I'm the IT Trainer here and he gave me a huge unbelievable smile that he saw me there. Oh Man he was damn happy to see me now, working a proper job as a teacher and that I'm not in Jail or still loitering at Lot One. Just then the Principal came out and ask how are we related and Mr Kong told her I was an Old Boy of Kranji Sec. He had came with another teacher to give a talk to the P6 promoting Kranji Secondary to them and asking them to join.
haha, lucky I saw him after the Talk as he said he wanted to ask me go up and talk if he had saw me earlier. lucky sia! I used to hate the school and those teachers who cane me but I know it was for my own good. If not for them and lao heng my bball coach for pulling me to join bball cca when I was 16, explaining to my parents that I really took up bball as my cca and making sure I'll attend training. I used to bluff my parents I've cca or remedial but actually was loitering at Lot One. I could still be the gangster and bad apple in those teachers and my parents eyes. He told me he was really proud that I'm like this now and not like that in the past. He look so happy that I actually manage to grad from sec and poly although my results was so poor in school. Had a great chat with me for 10 minutes plus and I need to go settle some stuffs. When I left he gave me a tap and smile, somehow i really regret forgetting to say Thanks and hugging him before I left.
As people say, the period when you are studying is the most fun part of your life, enjoy it before you grow up and need to start working. I strongly agree with it! I was really happy seeing him too and kept thinking my past in KSS and keep smiling like a crazy guy. The 2 TA seeing this opportunity to Kb me. LOL. Mr Kong use the word old boy of Kranji Sec remind me of the days when I was working at Monfort Junior and there was a party for the Ex-Monfortian aka Old Boys. It was a great party as they were alot of people and they have not seen each other for a very long time. How I Hope that my sec sch will organise one like that soon and I'll the first to confirm my attendance! They're having a open house on 10 Nov 2007 Sat 9am-3pm. Feel like going back to see as I've not return since I grad. The song by Vitamin C - Graduation kept running through my mind! Below is their promotion brochure.
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives Where we're gonna be when we turn 25 I keep thinking times will never change Keep on thinking things will always be the same But when we leave this year we won't be coming back No more hanging out cause we're on a different track And if you got something that you need to say You better say it right now cause you don't have another day Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down These memories are playing like a film without sound And I keep thinking of that night in June I didn't know much of love But it came too soon And there was me and you And then we got real cool Stay at home talking on the telephone with me We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair And this is how it feels
1 - As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come whatever We will still be Friends Forever
So if we get the big jobs And we make the big money When we look back now Will our jokes still be funny? Will we still remember everything we learned in school? Still be trying to break every single rule Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man? Can we ever find a job that won't interfere with a tan? I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye Keep on thinking it's a time to fly And this is how it feels
Repeat 1
La, la, la, la… Yeah, yeah, yeah La, la, la, la… We will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now? Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow? I guess I thought that this would never end And suddenly it's like we're women and men Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round? Will these memories fade when I leave this town I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
