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.
