dismal and smiles, all in one day
student g is one of the students whom I'm more familiar with. We always "out-lame" each other, much to the expense of those around us.He has a tendancy to try to see if he's out grown me, even though he's the tallest among his friend (He's still 5-10 cm away. I'm taller. Bleh) Behind this joker confident facade is a student who tries hard, but is really insecure of himself.
Just today, he promised to hand up his work right after his extra lesson. After waiting for an hour and a half after his lesson ended, he still did not show up. I was kinda dissapointed that he "pang-seh" me, as he promised me to be more responsible in his actions just last month.
An hour later, I recieved an SMS.
"eh mr *, I g hor. I forget to put the compre ex in ur pigeonhold. Cos juz nw after training veri late le then forget to put" (It was 7.30pm already by the way)
I smiled. He has become more responsiblel, just like he promised he will be. At least he bother to look for my number (i've never given him my number) to explain to me. I replied:
"!@£$!@$!@£ you! make me upset and happy within such a short time! make sure you remember tomorrow!"
My joy, my inspiration, my motivation. How not to enjoy every moment of it?
Yes, I may have many more years to teach, but I have only this year to teach this bunch of kids, who will continue to have a special place in my heart, and continue to inspire and motivate me for many years to come.

received a call today, from a secondary school in the north, asking if I'm interested to relief for them for the rest of this term. I clarified what subject am I required to teach: geography. Is the manpower situation for geography that bad?
Anyway, after I've put down the phone, I joked to my coordinator that "tomorrow is my last day. I got an offer, and I'm going over next week". She nearly lost her breath before I told her I was joking.
Well, soon, we ganged up and did that to our HOD. The joys of being a relief.
