morning … i m here to finish my INTI exam drafts. Sigh.
Normally, in my SANE state(LOL), i will NOT mention any names in my blog, except a few close friends and family, of coz. Students/colleagues come and go. But, i think i hv a special mention of this "special" student — Lee Anne.
It is a bliss to hv such a nice student — it is like "wish comes true" for teachers! Haha. Well, i do not teach Lee Anne, indirectly. Except when i was replacing Chia(i do mention Mr Chia here as he is my Maths-dept head) … i taught the class for a month. Lee Anne was taking tuition under me, anyway(since jan08, if i m not mistaken). So, i got to know her a little better …
One fine day, while I was busy blogging on this table in IS staff room … a girl walked to me …
Girl : Morning Mr Teh, I m Lee Anne from S2B … (with her ever-smiling grin)
Me : Er … yes? (with earphone still on)
Girl : Sir, you do give tuition, right?
Me : Err … ya? (still in daze … LOL)
Girl : Can I join any of your tuition classes?
Me : Err … ok …
Girl : *still waiting for reply with a smile*
Me : … eeemmm … this is my no : 012-821XXXX, writing on a piece of paper
Girl : Oh, when should i call you, sir?
Me : Errr … ok … next week? I need to ask the others first.
Girl : Thanks a lot, sir.
Hmm … so polite. Nice girl, i thought. That was my first impression of her. Then, slowly i got to know that she was the group-leader too. And from All-Saint. Hmm … perhaps that school really producing ’saints’?! Hmm …
A sweet message from her made my day yesterday. All is not lost, there are still, tho fewer, SAINT students!!
Even Mag complimented on her politeness and dedication towards her works(she will do all the questions i given to her!! A rare quality!). Yes, we do wonder HOW her parents brought her up. It is surely upbringing from her dedicated parents. We are still a young parents, many things to learn. Anyway, there are still a few ‘SAINT’ students in our school(or any school, as a matter of fact).
YSC trip to Sabah Tea
Well, i hv wanted to go … but i hv many tuition classes over the weekend. Exams is next week!! Sabah Tea? Hmm … wonder what the Young Scientists will do there? It is supposed to be Science Club — lke how to create a hand-bomb and throw it at the DAP Luyang office? Haha. Or to investigate how tea-leaves could be extracted to cure some disease such as AIDS? Hmm …, that will be interesting!
Perhaps next year i will go along … to discover. Afterall, SABAH "TEH" has my surname there!
Thomas Cup
I read that we lost to China 3-2, Chong Wei beat LinDan(WOW) but the huge disappointment, again, is our so-called topstar double Koo-Tan(they were just awarded sportmans of the year days ago!!) … they lost to China top pair. Hafiz in the decider? He never really pull-out any heroic situation, anyway(except for his All-England win). Korean played their cards well and will be meeting China in the final. I did not follow Thomas Cup this time as it is "boring" — China will win both.
i m drunk by the smell of tea-leaves … hv a nice weekend, anyway.
TEH
