04s65 quintet!

Wednesday, May 31, 2006

hello!! itz de sch hols! haha... so happy... can finally wake up late every morning... thought my relief teaching stint had come to an end, but rgp asked kiet & i to go back for another 1-2 wks in term 3... i think i'll go for at least 1 wk, de 2nd wk i'm not that sure... coz i might haf travel plans & wat-not... i dun realli mind going back in term 3 for dat 1 wk coz i'll get to see my students again! noe wat...last fri, quite a few of my students cried over my departure... it was realli unexpected... coz eileen (de hc gal from 04s64) & i organised dis class party for our p4 class... she's de form tcher of dat class, while i was their math tcher. i sorta treated dem as my form class coz i dun haf a form class but i teach dem math every day... i guess my students & i did get quite attached, so i was naturally affected when i saw dem crying... i was juz controlling my emotions at first coz i din wanna cry in front of dem in case it made dem feel even worse... i comforted dem & assured dem dat we cld still keep in contact thru email, msn or even snail mail... so dey sorta cooled down, & i returned to de staff rm... went to the toilet coz i cldnt hold my tears back... juz teared inside for a while, washed my face & went back to my desk. but after a while, a student came to look for me again, telling me dat a few of dem were still crying veri hard downstairs... so i hurried down & went to talk to dem again... sigh... i felt realli bad lah... dey kept saying stuff like "ms lee, pls dun go... i beg u... i promise to study veri hard..." or "ms lee, why must u go? can u not study?" "mss lee, y didnt u study earlier so dat u can work alredi?", etc etc. but eventually, dey juz got me to promise dat i wld go back rgp to visit dem as often as i can... dey requested for once every mth, but i said dat'd be quite impossible & i suggested once a term, but dey were unsatisfied, so i said once every 2 mths, & dey finally relented, but specified dat i must go back on tcher's day & children's day... hmm... i was juz thinking, tcher's day, if i go back hc, think i shud b able to drop by rgp as well lor. but as for children's day, i guess itz juz coz dey want gifts from me! haha... anw, i din tell dem abt my return in term 3, in case i end up not going back due to some unforeseen circumstances... i realli dun wanna disappoint dem again... itz realli another reason y i'm slightly hesitant abt going back for dat 1 or 2 wks in term 3... i wld hafta repeat de whole depressing farewell process all over again... well, kiet's hesitant abt going back in term 3 coz of her piano exam in aug... oh yah, speaking of kiet, she's damn fast... alredi off to paris & switzerland wif her family... so lucky rite!!! haha... hope she gets us more chocs & stuff! she promised me a piece of the alps though... hmm... =P

anw, my tuition juz ended yest... so i'm gonna be so so free from now on! haha... wait, or so i thought... juz remembered abt dis comp dat sembcorp wants us to take part in... itz an online game simulating real-life business management... i think itz similar to wat we heard abt in sch last yr, where teams compete wif one another online at certain times over a stretch of 10 days or so... apparently, quite a few of de other scholars are feeling quite frustrated over dis... coz we've alredi been busy wif the preparation for the scholarship ceremony, where we hafta present an item of some sort... not juz take turns to perform by singing/dancing or watever, but we hafta present smth dat ties in nicely wif de theme of the ceremony, & at de same time showcases our individual strengths & personality, not forgetting the significance of us being able to work as a team... apart from the item, we've also had to do many other miscellaneous stuff in preparation for the ceremony. personally, i dun mind de competition... in fact, i think itz gonna be quite a cool experience coz itz after all an online game where we get to learn more abt how to manage an enterprise... but for the others, i guess their frustration stems frm the fact dat dey're veri bz & dun wish to commit so much time to the comp... letz hope we can work things out & try our best for de comp... =)

oh yah, i still dunno whether i'm going to nus or ntu... waiting for the result of my appeal wif ntu, wch will supposedly be released after 16 june. in de meantime, nus offered me a double degree in engine & business admin, wch i'm supposed to reply to by 5 june... after calling ntu to ask dem for advice abt the situation i'm facing, de person i spoke to at the admin office said dat i could juz accept nus' offer first, & if my ntu appeal's successful, i can then reject nus' offer... so i asked if i wld end up hving to pay de tuition fees for nus by doing dis, and he said i wldnt haf to, unless de sch term has alredi started... but i'm thinking, perhaps i shud juz appeal wif nus for a single degree prog instead... doing a double degree is a bit too taxing... i'm too cmi for smth as challenging as dat... guess i'd rather get a gd 1st degree than 2 lousy degrees...

kiet's accepted accountancy alredi, while ade's waiting for her appeal wif ntu business sch... she's trying for business admin, but if she doesnt get it, *touch wood* she wld stick to wat she was offered... environmental engineering in ntu...

oh yah, chin hoe... y was it dat u said "gd luck to u girls in uni lar...hopefully u all will b attached lar...hor celestine?" hmm... y must specify me ah... haha... anw, letz meet dis sat! coz itz de sat b4 5 june...previously, we were debating over setting 5 june or 6 may as our class day rite? since 6 may is over, we'll hafta use 5 june! haha... shall we go somewhere to hang out like wat we did at fish & co de other time! juz a simple meal at a nice place where we can sit & chat... dun hafta do a lot of other stuff or wat... u guyz haf any suggestions? how abt yuki yaki? wif de diy ice-cream & all on a wkend, it costs $21.90... but alternatively, we cld go marina... haha... cheap, fun & more than enuf for de guyz to feast! haha... =P
