I leave with mixed emotions. Slightly melancholic but nonetheless relieved. Gerald said that Bedok Green's mild compared to North Brooks.. But I'm happy that I don't have to face the pandemonium anymore. Hah.
But it is kinda sad leaving the school. I stared at my desk one last time. I had tidied the place and cleaned up most of the mess that had accumulated. And it was 1pm, clocked 5 1/2 hours-time to leave.
I would never forget the countless naggings of the DM, the clutter of recess breaks and nosy little sec 1 brats. The cheeky smiles on their faces when they ask really out-of-point questions...
"Cher, you like miss *** anot?"
"Cher you how old?"
"Cher can give me a lift a not?"
Somehow, when you look back, these little monsters seem saintly.
I could still recount the first days when I had just entered the school. Felt really dumb. Couldn't find classrooms, don't know how to use the photocopy machine. Hah.
I remember once being reprimanded for letting the whole class go for a toilet break. They took up more than half a period. Bad mistake.
Well, some students I'll never forget; some I just can't wait to. Joking. It is always great to work with these people. Somehow, they bring a satisfaction you can't find anywhere else. The joy of impartation. As I look back, I wished I had done more. That always happens in retrospect. Well, too bad.
So thank you all who have made my day; for better or for worst.
Most of all, I hope that with my prayers and little effort, the bowl of salvation will be tipped upon Bedok Green. So, Gerald Tan, please go in and reap the harvest. Hah.
Last but not least, the company of friends I made has been great! You three are the craziest bunch of people I've known!
So that's it. One look and it's all gone behind. Memories. These are really good ones to keep though.
