Diary Entry 5 February 2008

Ahh, it's Chinese New Year Eve tomorrow, and ZARD's Sakai Izumi's birthday as well. I'm looking forward to the reunion tomorrow with those Peixin Peeps.

Let's not talk about that far in the future. Let's talk about the present.

Today was terrible. We had 3 tests. Geography, Chemistry and Higher Chinese, and the last one was a last minute test.

Never mind, let's just complain about things today. I'm so frustrated by that stupid Chiam Siew Yim today.

She came in as a relief teacher for Mdm Goh who was absent today.

Yes I admit that we were pretty noisy when we entered the classroom, but she had already scolded us for that. Then we were supposed to write a composition in the news review format. We didn't know how exactly to write it, and asked her nicely how we should write it.

She just replied "All your learning attitudes are wrong, so I don't want to teach you."

Excuse me, we've asked you nicely, not about how old you are or where did you get that ugly face, but about the composition. It was WORK. She refused to teach us a thing and made us write the whole composition without knowing what is right and what is wrong.

She said that we could argue with her and she would accept the challenge, but no matter how, we are at the losing end.

First, she is at the same time, the judge, the defense attorney and the jury. No matter what objections you bring up, she will just overrule them.

Secondly, she earns money by ranting at you for 2 periods. You waste time which can be used to write a composition which is marked by Mdm Goh. She just has to collect them and doesn't have to care.

Thirdly, whenever she is beaten by you or if you replied something that shocks her, she will just threaten you that she will call in the HOD (Oh Kian Tee) or the Principal.

She says that we must respect her then she will respect us. Okay, we were noisy, you reprimanded us, what else?

We've asked you a question nicely, but you say that our attitude is wrong and refuse to teach us? If that is wrong, what is correct? Sit and keep quiet even though you don't understand?

Instead of saying that our LEARNING ATTITUDES are wrong, maybe her TEACHING STYLE is wrong.

And then there was this very crazy Chinese Chess teacher who came to teach the CCS Chess course.

Firstly, he wrote his Chinese name wrongly. He wrote 2 out of 3 words wrongly. His surname is same as mine, but he missed two strokes. His third character, 华, instead of a 化 on a 十, he wrote a 什 on a 十. Dumb? Yes he is.

And he teaches HIMSELF. He talks to himself and enjoys his own lesson thoroughly. No one understood what he was saying.

The seal engraving teacher was absent, prolly due to CNY, but I didn't join the lesson, I was helping out Chua Kok Yong with Ko-Hsiang when Yu Lan ran out of the room towards us and complained that she couldn't stand that old freak (死老头). He shows obvious bias for the boys and make all the boys sit at one side, and he only speaks to the boys. When he handed out handouts, he said, "All the boys must have one. You can photocopy some for the girls if they want."

Chua Kok Yong was hinting to him that he should leave quick. He wanted a sharing session with the victims about the lecture, but he was so dense he left so late. Everyone was complaining about him.

Luckily, I didn't join chess. Phew.

Today was stupid. Let's hope that it's a beautiful tomorrow and beautiful 除夕.
