Oh wow now I remember the days when searching KFC ECP would give us our blog url. Now searching LAI KAIROUULIESSS does the same too! We've even invited random people to tag! Hahaha. So anyway, we don't really appretiate the cold water being poured on us one day after the release of olevel results. (At least, I don't.) So don't tag anymore okay random ppl, we're really proud of ourselves and it's for more than one reason.
Jumping to conclusions isn't very nice, as can be seen from the horrble kpop year! (in abi's comparison hee.) But since the previous post does give a misleading impression, let's write a thank you post!
Of course we thank SG EDUCATION SYSTEM HAHAHA. Yes we do, it brought us to SN, it brought the teachers to SN and now SNGS is one of the top schools in SG. As much as social studies lesson is pretty boring (but mr tan was good. yes,) we really appretiate the huge emphasis on academic results. In a morbid way, it spurred us on to do even better. Bilingualism, as we learn in SS and in my opinion, is the best part of SG education. As the world grows smaller (Bk2 Chpt2: Globalisation) the ability to communicate is becoming a pivotal skill. You have no idea how important scoring a1 for english is for everyone in the world.
And also, these are the teachers that we really want to thank:
Mrs Dahl our form teacher for making english lesson so enjoyable. We'll miss your life stories!
Mrs Teo who took us for our english lessons for awhile and told us about the trauma of giving birth.
Zhang laoshi who scared me so much I got a b3 and Carol got an A2 for HCL. THANK YOU ZHANG LAOSHI!
Miss Choo our secondary 3 mathematics teacher who tolerated with us and always gave her best even when we didn't give ours.
Mr Gan our secondary 3 physics teacher who used to stab himself with a wooden ruler and taught us electricity while linking to the energizer advertisement. (the one with the jumping rabbit.)
Mrs Ong our wonderful secondary 4 physics teacher who was alwaysss so patient.
Mrs Tan Lee Lee our biology teacher who never got angry whatever we did, and stayed so strong throughout the 2 long years.
Mr Hoo and Mr Liew the chemistry teachers in secondary 3 whose lessons were always funny. And Mrs Tan Siew Kim! :D The one the only amazing-est teacher who brings SK-11 to wake us up in class, and lets us eat sweets/ dried mangoes to explain exothermic reactions!
Mrs Sherwood the elective geography/ pure geography teacher. Who went through so much trouble to make sure that we remembered how to give specific examples when answering lorms questions, who was so passionate about marking our prelim papers her hand swell, but yet carried on to use her left hand to mark.
Mrs Lily Tan! Who never gave up on our history even when we seemed to be epicly failing the subject. She also has a cool screen saver that distracted the class oh so slightly(:
Mr Seth Tan our SS teacher who taught who-knows-how-many classes he once contemplated recording his lessons and playing the videos during lesson. Social studies = Scoring subject.
Mrs Goh for being motivating everytime she spoke to us. She spoke about creating our own story and running the last lap, and before the olevel papers she told us about the 2 senarios. Ske kept our spirits high and hopes up as we sat for the papers.
Everyone in 4D, because it wouldn't be the same without all of you. Thank you for being there, for not skipping class in all altruism, for always lending a hand, for the words of encouragement..Thank you for being part of 4 Diligence 2009. This we will never forget.
Everyone else who helped us in one way or another. Everyone who's part of the SN family.
AND. Well I wonder whoooo next.
MS REGINA TAY/ MRS OON HAHAHA. For what, sometimes I don't know how to summarise it, thank you for being our maths teacher, our pillar of support, the source of the 4D fighting spirit. It's not easy to say why we love miss tay so much. When we sit through her lessons and listen to her speeches positively flaming with fiery passion, and we look into her eyes or remember the time she almost cried when saying good luck to us before olevels, we know, we really know, she loves us too.
(btw kairou didn't write the previous post so again, don't jump to the conclusion that she's being conceited. We're truly proud of us, is all.)
Sometimes we will think back, and I think one day we will realise that the best of our memories don't lie within. We'll find them safe in the hearts of people who have loved us, people we have loved.
