DnA. Version 3.1

Well, shuhua you wanted an update … so I hereby dedicated this update to you.

Although, my mind is literally falling asleep and had no idea just what should go into this entry.  I’ll just do a summary of the past few days’ events.  Get myself started on facebook and realized that its’ a whole lot easier to find accquitances from the past as compared to friendster.  Still, it depended on luck sometimes as not all of them held both a facebook and a friendster account.

Anyway, managed to locate a couple of my secondary school teachers.  Message quite a few of them, and surprisingly enough - Mr Cheng, my sec 4 &5 English teacher still remembered who I am.  Was so happy that day … cause’ I thought he would have forgotten about me, by now.  After all, I graduated from that school like 4 years ago.

Now I’m starting to miss Mr David Chin, Mr Zainal and Mr. Samson … I wonder how they are faring now … and wondered if Mr Samson is still teaching at ITE Clementi …

Not only do I miss the lecturers from my ITE days, nowadays I also find myself thinking back on my primary school days.  Especially, now that my primary school had officially retired and merged with Jurong Primary School.  I can’t help but wonder just how are all my primary school teachers doing at this point of time.

Were they still teaching?  If so, where are they teaching now that Boon Lay is no longer around?  Did they re-located elsewhere, or simply just joined the Jurong Primary School Faculty?

Among all the teachers whom had knew/taught me back in my primary school days - I missed my P5/P6 form teacher, Mr Kamarrudin the most …I remembered the last time, I get the chance to meet up with him - was during my 6 months in ITE … Was on my way to the Jurong East Interchange, when I realized he was sitting directly opposite of me on the bus … We did not talk all the way, until we stepped off the bus.

Then the first thing he ask, was whether or not am I going on a date with my ‘boyfriend’.  I had laughed then, and claimed otherwise.  I then said, I am just meeting up with a friend whom just happened to be a male - rather than a boy-friend.

Aside from Mr Kamarrudin, I kind of miss seeing Mr.Yacob as well.  Although, Mr Yacob had never really taught me before … I kind of got used to seeing him around the coffee shop that was situated just a block away from my home for lunch.  He was among one of the few, whom would stop and conversed with me - despite not having a very clear idea of who I am/was … since he never did taught me in prior.

I miss - Ms. Suhaili as well.  Though, I never seemed to have her teaching me in class … I did remembered her kindness towards me.  When I was back in Sec 1/Sec 2 … I was over at the Jurong East Popular Book Store trying to look for the book ‘Charlotte’s Web’ for a English/Literature project of mine … only to find the store completely out of stock.  Was so stressed out back then …

Just when I was turning around to face the other way, I found myself looking straight at her - instead.  As during that period of time, Ms. Suhaili just happened to be teaching my brother’s class - she remembered me.  That and the fact that I kind of frequent the staff room during the first few months upon graduation from the school and just having joined the secondary school.

She kindly borrowed me her own copy of ‘Charlotte’s Web’ (I went back to the primary school staff room to collect it from her, the next day).  She gave me her contact number back then, in order for me to contact her when I need to return her the book.  I returned the said book to her, about 3 weeks later …

When I met up with her, she asked me on my studies … I responded that I find myself having trouble catching up to the pace of the maths lessons.  She then spend one whole week to go through the problems in my textbook with me - on a daily basis, after her work and before she went home.   Am really indebted to her, really …

I know, she kind of left the school for further studies … but can’t remember whether its’ in local or abroad.  Anyway, all the best to her …and every other teachers’ whom had taught me before, regardless of which phase of my schooling life were they involved in.
