How can i forget to blog about this?
Went back to FHS last friday to attend the sec 3 subject combination briefing with my brother. I was representing my parents. Mixed feelings when i walked into the school compound. I wanted to say "oohs and arghs that time when i was a student...." but on the other hand, i play the role of a parent. so i have to act mature. -_-
I had to sit through the subject briefing again like when i was in sec 2. but this time, the school emphasize more on the subjects important for jc, hoping that parents will appreciate the subject combination offered to the kids in sec 3. I wanted to do a standing ovation when the principle said this statement," it is the constrasting subjects that are important for jc, eg if you are a science person, you have to take eg economics as a contrasting subject in jc. It is NOT triple science that is recommended by moe." Yes. prinicple, i totally agree. i just dont understand why parents will want their kids to opt for a triple science class. Dont they find it stressful for their kids? I would want my kid to be a big fish in a small lake then to be a small fish in a big ocean.
There was also a QnA session for parents to throw their questions to the HODs. As expected, no one voice out anything. All these parents will definitely fail in their participation mark if they are poly students.
When the session was over, Ms mona cheong (HOD humanities) walked down. She was talking to a student when she turned back. I gave her a wave and told her i was her student. Then she started to chat wif me
MC: (gave a i-am-thinking look)you look familiar!
JM: i was from 4B, graduated in 2004.Been looking for you whenever i came back to FHS. Want to thankyou cuz i was really bad in my humanities. But i scored A1 in my Os.
MC: Really? how is your Geo?
JM: B3.
MC: (shocked) you are one of the rare ones. usually students are better in Geo.
MC: 你的 batch 有谁很坏蛋的?
JM:(amused by her question)huh? 不知道 leh! (Then started to give a chain of names in class 4B). You were pregnant when you taught us!
MC: No lah!.......... Oh yar!!!
JM continued to 唤醒 MC's 记忆.....+ MC persuading my bro not to take pure history....
JM: many teachers went off already right?
MC: not many lah. who taught you before?
Updates on what some teachers are doing now. But real names are not stated. But if you were once a FHS student, the nicknames should be obvious to you.
1) Mr Mathematician cum moonface: Not a full time teacher. will help out in FHS once in a while. Full time job: Property agent. (shocking right?)
2) Mother "egg": No longer in FHS
3) All time Humanities only, Constance K: Quit teaching. Full time stay-at-home-mum.
4) Father FoXX: Still teaching. But some conversations are not too suitable to be posted here...
After chatting for bout 50min, she finally asked for my name.
MC: 你叫什么名?
JM:JM.
MC: (animatedly + arm-chioing + excitedly) OH!!! 我记得!(Turned to my brother)你的姐姐很乖的!
Really giad i could still get to chat with Ms Cheong after so many years. Its totally amusing to think that i am remembered for being 很乖...
