Education , A Life Long Process

Somehow felt that somethings missing ... Did i miss out on anything ?

Sylvester told me to take breakfast with him . I treated him once . But today just couldnt do it ... because i'd to meet Matthew and Sherwin at 12:30 pm at Plaza Sing . I treated them to lunch . We talked quite alot ... Sherwin bought some naughty stuff ... dirty Sherwin . The manager , or the guy who took our orders was damn bloody ... good ! He was funny and he did somehow made us felt the hospitality . Nice guy .

After eating ... we headed for Cyberdome to play with Ben Chan , Elliot and Jon Chua . Birdie came later ...

Before we went for lunch and Plaza Sing ... i met up with Sherwin at YioChuKang MRT control office . I met so many people there . There was the ex-DoubleBass player in SYCO . We talked ... he's another nice guy too . Then i saw Ben Chan ... didnt really cared . We kinda ignored each other . Didnt like him much ... But then , there was Augustus too . He and his friend , both are heading to orchard for work . They are promoters ... funny ... Then we talked quite alot on the MRT when Sherwin finally arrives . Honestly , Augustus is my Pipa ' junior ' . Though the same age , he joined later . I was kinda tough on him ... But he quit . Funny guy ... funny .

Dinner was at AngMoKio Central . We took the MRT with Jon . They went to a pirated CD game shop . Thats also where Sherwin bought his naughty stuff . There was so many ... my eyes were constantly looking around . Matthew treated me and Sherwin dinner at Pizza Hut . It wasnt that bad ... just not really filling . It'd cost him a bomb i think ... Matthew then went to 25 hours , that watch shop . He wanted to buy one for his Mom for her birthday ... Reminded me of what i bought my Mom last time . I bought Mom many jewelleries ... because ... flower bouquets are too boring . Valentine's Day is coming ... thinking of what to buy ...

We chatted for a very long time after eating ... We talked about the same old things we mention everytime . Talked about the same old things that we knew , just going into deeper details . We talked about old same topics and always ending up criticising others . Tim Quek ... the idiot , obviously . Everyone hates him ... he really deserves it sometimes . Though sometimes i might pity him ... Sympathy .. .? Empathy ... ? But , he really deserves such treatment . i must say that PangSoon is ten times better ... poor Jon Pang ... he shouldnt deserve that kinda treatment in Sec 1 . Tim , u deserve it . Jon Pang , im sorry . But Jon did better in the better classes ... Honestly , i was just watching ... im not involved in anything in school ... Other than the ' drawing of everybody ' incident . Joshua Ang's fault too . We ganged up ... LiRong was actually involve too ... but we were the main culprits . We drew everyone in class and teachers too ... making fun of them . Stupid Leonard ' Bao ' went to sabotage . Tang caught us ... but we ended up fine . Mere punishment ... Think im really let loose in the school . Every teacher treats me with ' respect ' and kindness . They think im a ' good boy ' , which is damn true , because i dun cause them any trouble . Nachi was the best , followed by Gan then maybe Chan ...

Let me talk a little about life in school ...

Nachi was the best teacher i ever had . She was my form teacher during my last year of school . She told me to take care of my body and not to fall sick so often , but the fact was that i skipped school . She never asked me for my MC . She allows me to sleep in class while everybody is having their morning assembly and devotion . She doesnt really scold me for sleeping in class . Is she good or what ? Or she doesnt care ... ? No , she does . She recieved an award by the president not long ago ... She's one devoted teacher . She cares for everyone and everything .

There's Gan . He was the ' poorest ' creature in school . Not as in wealth ... but as in status wise . Nobody listens to him . They can even scold him back . Students make use of him ... He's no doubt the best Chemistry teacher in school ... But too bad , he wasnt fierce enough . He really knows how to close one eye ... Now , he's gone to HouGang Secondary with Shirley Goh ... hope its better there for both of them . ACS is living hell .

The discipline master , Chan . He's very funny . Hes righteous too . He knows when to scold and when not to . Hes really nice and understanding . I would rate him the best discipline masters ive ever seen , which is only a few ... Whenever my hair is long , i can negotiate with him when i'll get it cut . The whole class really enjoyed E Math with him around . He really do know how to teach . But , the problem is , he's always too busy with dsicipline affairs that he doesnt come to class often . No matter how good one teacher can be , it'll depend on the student's own learning abilities and willingness . For me , Chan is still the best Math teacher , but math will never be my forte , so i continue to fail , without fail . No Doubt !

Tomorrow is gonna be one big confusion . I have a performance in YiShun Secondary and one later at 6pm ... gonna meet Stanley at Conrad Hotel . Stanley is YouGuo's classmate ... ? He's pro in his YangQin . We know each other , but never once talked .

Gotto sleep really early tonight i think ... maybe 12 midnight .

When results are bad , teachers get blamed on . When results are good , nobody thank the teachers . Once a teacher , forever a father , translated from a chinese proverb .
