Yesterday was a great day! I finally managed to go back to my secondary school to visit the wonderful teachers. I actually missed teachers day this year! Due to sudden change of the day for teachers day, i missed it all!!! I hope my primary school teachers are still going to remember me when i get back next year. My secondary teachers all looked sooooooo shacked!! They all have wrinkles at their eye areas, all thinner, all have this really tired face. They smiled widely when they saw us, some immediately greeted us, some simply grinned and told us we changed a lot and asked "so who are actually?". LOL!! Though some can't recognize us exactly, they do remember that there's a student like that. One of the funny moments was that 1 teacher really can't remember me at all!! 1 thought she have never seen me before. So i showed them a photograph taken when i was still in school, and they asked me which one in the photo is me. Hahahahaha. I didn't know i looked so different then. We then went to eat the canteen food!! Taste good!!! (HAHA i must be mad to find school food tasty) But it's been some time since i ate those, it somehow became comfort food. And my friend actually paid for me so it became even better =P I managed to find all the teachers that i wanted to except one as she was ill and went home early, and managed to give away all the packets of ferrero rochers i packed, which was something really nice to do. =D It's so good to see them again! People always criticize Hong Kah being a lousy school. But it's actually a place filled with dedicated teachers who spend lots of time on every single student, giving them all the extra help they need.
We spent like over 3 hours there, just walking around looking for the teachers, giving them gifts, and chatting with them. Many things changed after we left, the principal is in the midst of reforming the school. I don't know if this is actually something good or bad, as Hong Kah finally have a big step forward in the soccer, something we does best, but many other values that made the school such a wonderful place for every individual to pursue their interests have either disappeared or are disappearing.
After the trip to school we went bugis shopping!! I totally shopped super fast yesterday! Within about an hour, i bought 2 dresses, some colourful socks, and 2 necklaces, and was tired enough to head home, slump in a corner, eat my dinner, bathe and just sleep. Zzzzz
school food!! (Jap food & xtras: black pepper chicken over rice with extra saba fish, chicken floss sushi, lots of chicken chop in a packet, and that purple yogurt drink is mine(something which i use to drink a lot in school)) =D
