I kept my promise and i wore more formally to school. All i hoped was to get the short pants to bow at me >:D
老天有眼,it was a rainy day so everyone had to walk along the corridor, and all the students would have to pass by me.
It didn't disappoint me.
The first two short pants bowed and me...
But the rest of the students I encountered weren't so friendly- the long pants. Obviously they knew I was about the same age, if not 2 years older than them; or, they don't respect teachers at all. Their "do-not-provoke-me" gaze shocks me, and they seemed so distant to me, although I have went through that age before. After drawing several samples of those long pants, I have come to realise that there are basically 3 types of long pants:
1) The kind who act seh, and is stinky. Talks loudly to his friends and is completely oblivious of my presence. I am not talking about you, Vernon.
2) The XYZs. Though some of them are not hostile, they certainly do not have any eye contact with other guys. As if they are thinking of something perpetually. Completely dao-ed me. Just because you are two years older than your peers and same age as me doesn't mean you are qualified not to bow at me, you XYZs!
3) The hesitating ones. They are always hesitating whether to bow or not, and most of them just kept their heads low in the end, and it doesn't seem to me that they are bowing. So their stance is like an Ah pek walking. I know I still look very chubby and cute. Perhaps I don't look like a teacher at all. But hey, you not only chose not to bow at me, you even ignored Sunita, who was walking behind me!? Tsk tsk tsk. (but i forgave you on this exceptional case)
Those wearing the long pants simply do not display the JTIGER value and they do not exhibit the maturity. I am not only talking about the bowing thing, I am recalling what our batch and the current sec 4 batch did and behaved themselves. What a shame to be a sec 4 in 2005.
No wonder the College was so against it when the Sec 4s first wore the "long pants" in 2005. No wonder Clarinda was always PMS-ing and kept reminding us that we are wearing the "college" uniform.
But the Sec 4 AEP guys are much more better, though there are some "zhengyou"s (coined by JJ). But that will make the class more energetic and funny =)
The lesson was quite screwed up- the upper sec were having their chinese common test, so the lesson was delayed from 2pm to 4:30pm. Made me facebooking for the entire two and a half hours -_-. Still, I was quite impressed by the sec 4's determination and their endurance. I know they are exhausted after the test and yet they still came for the lesson at 4:30pm (till 6:30pm). So I let them watched a couple of great short movies (and some written assignments O_O )
Their younger brothers weren't so disciplined. The whole sec 3 class just ponned my lesson!

Ms. Kee asked me if I wanted to go to New York. My reaction was like "yeah, duh?"
And to think that a price tag of <$3400 is fairly cheap for a 10-day trip, and you get to go with J. + your classmates, the deal is just too attractive to me. And then I looked at the list... oh! the classmates who might be going are: charmaine, shumin and ......yingdan!???
