Teachers' Day dinner at my ex-school
I was invited to a Teachers' Day dinner on 25th Aug 06 at school X (Would like to leave the school name blank at this point of time as it may affect sensivities at my present school)
The theme was REEL LIFE, about movie characters. My table had to dress up as the good guys (heroes and heroines) found in movies. Initially I was supposed to be Aragon, but could not fine the costume. Then it was decided I'd be James Bond, but that's too easy! Finally, I decided to be Wong Fei Hong!! My table had the God of Gamblers, Snow White, Chang Er, amomg others! Amongst my ex-colleagues were Wu Ze Tian (the most famous empress in Chinese history), Zorro, Ta Chang Jin, among them. It was seriously a night of fun. Literally "letting your hair down". Luckily there were no Superman, or Wonder Woman among them. That would have been fun! God, its been 3 years, and I still miss the school.
Students are almost the same in any neighbourhood school. Well, I am comparing my present and former schools, both of which can be considered "neighbourhood". What makes the schools different? I strongly feel its the quality of staff relationships. It has been 3 years, and when I meet some of my old colleagues, we still share deeply. I have even made friends with people who join the achool AFTER I left, and we found that we can click very well. There is simply no malice in our relationships. I asked one of them for help and to my pleasant surprise, she agreed!
And now I am in a dilema........ (to be continued)
New Car??
Went to Ubi to look at some new cars. Met a salesperson in Champion Motors by the name of Angie Sim (yes, Angie Sim) AND she looks like Teresa Lin!! Weird... Was looking at the Suzuki Liana and quite like it
May get the Mitsubishi Triton anyway. Its a superly-cool 4 door pick-up truck !! Plenty of boot space.
