Appreciate Inez's effort in trying to get us all to go for e class bbq. I can't go coz of a valid reason, really. Also appreciate those few whom I found out today that they believe in my character. Only that matters to me yeah? =)
And now here's my post for the week.. I already wrote up a draft which was pretty long and blogger din have it saved! Omg.. Now I gotta rewrite.. Guess I'll juz do that..
First, I wanna talk abt a teacher whose lessons I enjoy and I sorta approve the way he treats all of us in our class.. And he's our SEA Hist teacher, Mr Benny Lim! Lolx.. Reasons coming up.. Number one, his teaching style is good.. I find myself learning pretty well, and he puts in e effort to include interesting details or show us some pics to go together with e basic facts we have to learn for history.. Makes e lesson less dead.. Otherwise, history is juz as dead as those goner war heroes whom we study abt for e subject.. Hahax.. Secondly, he's friendly! Smiles in a friend-friend way and chats a bit of random stuff sometimes when we see him during breaks and all.. Finally, can feel that he sincerely wants all of us to enter into university and can sense that he believes that we have the potential as well.. If he doesn't believe in us, he wldn't type out all those notes for us and everything.. He likes to say, "it's the attitude that counts" meaning if we want to achieve sth and are willing to work at it, eventually the achievement will be ours.. And I agree with him on that.. I hereby acknowledge Mr Lim for his efforts!! I see him as a pretty cool teacher in a way coz of all e above..XP There are other teachers who are worthy of mention too.. Such as Mrs Koh for simply persevering in teaching us, Mdm Zarina for her cheery and joke-filled lessons(but of coz she does her teaching, hahas), Ms Teh for her many cynical remarks on men and such as she reflects on the lit text and the remarks are funny too.. Rarely hear praise abt teachers? Then here's my say to be fair to them.. Haha
I think it's real impt for teachers and everyone else to believe in us from e bottom of their hearts.. And when it shows, we will feel grateful enough to try not to disappoint them nor disappoint ourselves.. Again with reference to the theme song of the movie I Not Stupid 2, it's abt teenagers who are marginalized in society coz of getting onto the wrong side of the law etc.. The song sympathizes with these teens who do try to reform, and there's a line in e song that goes: But how much hope have you given us? And I find that can be applicable to our school too.. We have taken a fall for the O levels.. And now, we are required to work relatively harder than some others in the JCs perhaps, to climb back up.. And I do hope, the school will really help us in every way to lighten the process a little for us.. The fault shld not lie completely with us (i.e. us being lazy students lah, and so on) if lessons are juz taught mechanically, and dun serve to absorb us and help us grow a natural interest in the subjects.. Vibrancy of school life is almost non-existent.. This area definitely needs improvement! Sighz
Had intended to blog somemore on jdrama Double Score and more! But write till here is enough.. Quite tired nw and my flow doesn't seem v smooth today ritez? I'll leave it and I'll be going off now! Another time then?
