First and foremost, I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to all who took the trouble to show appreciation to me as a teacher through the gifts, cards, sms and verbal greeting on this special day! I am deeply touched by the effort put in. This is the intrinsic reward that no job in the whole world can even offer! :)

Well, here they are: the photos of every single gift that was given in random order (NOT in any order of preference/liking! I cherish every gift, whether big or small, simple or delicate, cheap or expensive, hand-made or bought! it's the thought that counts!)

I have a student who has 12 ear stubs... omg! i pity her ears..

students can be so wild these days! someone can actually draw a face on a box, cut 2 holes for the eyes and go around with a broom hitting their juniors and running away! someone actually hang a dart board on the wall and charge towards it with his head! it's painful but he enjoys it!? weird! anyway, they are not from the school i am teaching! :P There are worse things that happened but i shall not blog them here! :P

The parent-teacher conference was enjoyable! I had a good time talking to the parents about their children. Most of the time, I will not say anything "bad" about them and would usually tell their parents how we can work together to help them to excel! :D had a good laugh bcos of the "newtube" joke! :P It serves as a warning to me as well: be sure about what you wanna say before you say it! and another thing, [they] ordered mac without asking me! sad lor! :( had to wait till 9 pm before driving through @ king albert for a quick bite! thanks for the fries anyway! :D

confiscated part of a serial drama (Full House) from my students cos they promised to watch only 2 episodes a day. So over the weekend, I gave them 6 discs (for 3 days) so that they will keep to it and not spend too much time watching and spend more time studying! Took a peek at episode 7 today to see what is so interesting about it and I'm kinda hooked to watch the whole series! LOL! tempting but hmm... only if I loads of spare time! :P

soccer was fun today though it rained! I was sick for quite a while (although it's not noticeable) and today was the first day after so long that i felt that i have overcomed the virus and became stronger! yeah! I just love times when i fall sick and recover without seeing the doc! :D
