was chatting with ivan on msn juz now. haven't been talking to him for a while, cuz he didn't msg me =P anyway, realized that the uni he's studying in ohio now, calls the tutorial lessons we have here,
recitations instead. recitations. interesting. poor chap has his holidays reduced by 2 weeks cuz of summer school... like the special term in NUS. oh well, not like he attends his classes anyway.
it's mel's bday today. poor girl's in school preparing her presentation. yea, kinda like ivan, she's doing her summer term in SMU. hope she'll enjoy the rest of the day with her dearie jp later =) didn't get her anything this bday, feel kinda guilty. yizi, yuxin and me treated her to tim sum @ crystal jade yesterday. we ordered so much that we hadta pack the leftovers.
bored. supposed to watch troy today but jy's out at sentosa with the dogshit boys. they must be enjoying themselves in the sun =) hope jy gets tanned... he's so fair (as compared to me). prefer tanned to fair any day.
i've been thinking of going back to tpjc to visit the teachers, juz can't seem to get friends to go back with. cuz they say ms teo (our all time fav teacher who teaches geog) has left to teach at some other sch. if we ever go back, it'll be her we want to visit. my class was so intimidated by her during j1, cuz she was always scolding us for being so quiet in class. all she wanted was more participation, but i guess we were all afraid of saying the wrong things and disappoint her. there was once she gave up and walked out of class leaving us all stunned. but we all like her anyway =)
and there's mr chow who loved to talk cock with us during math tutorials. he's one of a kind of a teacher. which teacher would allow his students to go out of class to buy food and eat while he teaches? which teacher would suan his students when they fall aslp? and which teacher would give major hints for common tests? haha..
ms ng... my econs tutor. she's one of a kind too. she doesn't shave her under arms and wears sleeveless. need i say more? =)
mrs chew, my CT. totally feminist. can be really bitchy some times.
kelvin tan... he has a tattoo on his right (or is it left?) arm! damn cool. we all doubt his teaching skills cuz he juz started teaching. made us feel like geog was horseshit sometimes. oh, he hardly blinks when he's lecturing, juz something i observed =P
and there's commando lee... my volleyball coach. u hafta read btwn the lines when he says stuffs, cuz there's always some hidden meaning (to tease us... not to provoke us). miss his scoldings during trainings like "run so slow, i think my grandmother can run faster than u; wah lau eh u play like shit; hurry up and start playing some real balls" totally funny. i've always wanted to go back and train with the kiddos. one day =)
eh... feels like i've written testimonials for the teachers... but they're really some of the reasons y i love tpjc so much. think i'll go flip my yearbooks now =)
