Money is Important..but Money is not Everything..

I was doing SPRING CLEANING my phone's address book the other day..you know..deleting numbers that you don't need anymore so that it wont jam up your phone and making it becomes slower and slower and suddenly.....

I stopped at this number...oh..my 0162985xxx. Its Ms X. My course mate back in University time. We were so damn close back then staying at the same hostel (different room and block of course), meals together, did our assignments together and etc...Stop...not going to tell more..

OK. the thing is...we kind of like lost contact since we left Uni. Just too bad cos she has to go back to her hometown to take care of her parents. Once in a blue moon i did call her but she was always busy at the other end. Calls soon turned to become SMS. Worst, she didn't even bother to reply. It has been 9 years......since the last time i met her.

So, i decided to call her on that SPRING CLEANING day. She answered the call and i was damn excited. However, we don't ve much to talk about. Maybe i was a bit annoyed with the questions and comments that she made. I know i shouldn't but she has changed(or maybe not? maybe i just don't know her well enough... which i thought i did.. sigh..).

"Oh...u still driving the same car?"
(Yeah..am still driving the same car.)
"What? I have already changed 3 times"
(Oh...good for ya.)

"What about house? I am sure after so long...u must ve bought a house"
(oh...Not yet...plan to....soon...)
"What?"
"I bought a 3 storey house in Subang. Are u kidding me or what? Where all your money gone?"
(ehrg....as you know..i am in the education line..so i don't earn as much as you)

"So are you the Principal now?"
(No....still teaching and don't think i want to be one.)

"Oh My....Seems to me...U don't ve much achievements. Lucky i din join the education line last time. You are still stuck there."
......................................................................................

Well for that 15 mins conversation, she only talked about how great she was...and how much she has earned. I kept quiet and just listen.

Education and Teaching to me, is not just about making money. Yes no doubt i don't earn millions per year and i don't give a damn but the satisfaction that i got is really priceless. I just LOVE my job.

p/s: U ppl know wat satisfaction i am talking about? I got a card during the 2008 Fifth Former Graduation. It reads:-

Dear Mr X,

Sir, although i never attended your class before but i want to say THANK YOU. You ve work so hard for us. We knew it. I appreciate for your hard work. Sir, time flies. It has been another year for us. Form 5 students ended their high school life and wondering about the future.

A good teacher is like a candle, it consumes itself to light the way for others."

Time To Go To SEREMBAN!!!!!

It's already the 26th of November. SPM is always over (specially for those people who have EST as their last paper, because never again will you have to take SPM after this in your life). SPMwill officially be over before you know it. While most people will be upset when it's finally over because they'll never get to see their friends again, Senior 5 Hope doesn't have to be, because after SPM, we have a Seremban trip planned, to go to Mr. Yu's house.

Before SPM, we went through the details with Mr. Yu. Here, after some changes, i'm posting the revised version of the plan.

Date: 11th and 12th of December 2008

Time: 10am *this is the time when all of us will meet at either the Serdand or Kajang KTM
station -please comment on whether you want to meet at Serdang or Kajang*

The Programme will be as follows:

10.00am: Meet at the KTM station (Serdang/Kajang)

10.30am: Get in the train

11.30am: Reach Seremban KTM station (Mr. Yu will meet us there)

* After we reach, we will first go to the mall that is just opposite the KTM station and hang out there. Then we will have A&W, because Mr. Yu said that the A&W is just beside the mall and remember, MR. YU WILL BELANJA*

1.00pm: Go to another mall and see the whole town

*There is another mall at the west of the first mall, a bit further away (i think ) and we will hang out there. After that, we will take the bus and go to a temple that he wants us to see, and after the temple, we walk to his house*

4.00pm: Reach Mr. Yu's house. Bath, wash up and rest.

*Apparently, it will take about two hours for everyone to wash up*

6.00pm: Start preparing the barbecue.

7.00pm: Have the barbecue.

7.30pm: Play games, mahjong, tell ghost stories, and discussion session

*There might be something else for you to play also, but we won't tell you now what it is. I'll discuss with Giap Chin about it first. And the discussion session is where we all have to sit and discuss what we will do for Mr. Yu's house. Mr. Yu said that the deal is, he provide lunch and dinner and in return, we contribute towards his house. Nothing big, just something simple. It could be either fix the roof, repair something, cut a rubber tree or just decorate. So if you're not bringing anything to contribute, at least bring some ideas along to "rescue" the house in any way possible. And if you don't even do that, then Mr. Yu will make you mop the floor*

10.00pm: We do the contributions that we promised.

12.00midnight: Sleep, play, watch the fireflies, or do whatever you want to do

*Our dear chemistry teacher said that we have to get at least a little sleep, so you can't stay up all night long. Also, there are two rooms in the house. One for the girls to sleep in and one for the guys. The girls' bedroom is on the right. It is smaller than the boys' bedroom and has a bed which four people can sleep on. So either we take turns to sleep, or the others sleep on the floor. We decide there and then, after seeing the bedroom. As for the guys, do whatever you want, your bedroom is bigger, but I've no clue how you all will fit in there.*

7.00am: Wake up and wash up.

9.00am: Leave the house and walk back to the KTM station.

*You can stay longer as well, but Mr. Yu is afraid that we will get bored because we will have nothing to do. And nothing is decided for breakfast yet. Maybe near the KTM station as we're leaving. Please give suggestions as to what to do for breakfast, and after that.*

So, overall, if you arrange it in ascending order, it is as follows:

KTM - Mall - A&W - Another mall - Town - Bus - Temple - House - Barbecue - Play - Sleep - Breakfast - Go back

Did i miss anything?

Please suggest as to how we can make this trip more fun.

Announcement: Hon Sing and Weng Fai have confirmed that they're not going!

We've Graduated...

Today, the 14th of November 2008 was truly a memorable day for the Form Fives. The reason i'm saying this is because WE'VE GRADUATED...

Yes, that's right, after about 11 years (for me, at least), we have come to the end of our school lives. I won't bore you with any more of my talk. Just look at the pictures and enjoy...

I added this picture for Mr. Yu, since he said that if I did not add his picture in this post, he would cancel the Seremban trip.

Mr. Yu, I couldn't find a picture of you on graduation day, but i have this recent one, so there you go...

Now, you can't cancel the trip!




GC edit : Let me add more pictures...

Our class teacher.





Another.




Mr Yu with his serious face.



OMG. Mr Yu so cute.




I think this is the best one i can find.

SPM, Graduation, and so much more...

There's a lot going on in the lives of the Form 5 students of Sekolah Seri Suria, specially Senior 5 Hope. The cause of all this might be because on top of the pressure of SPM examination and the Graduation Day Ceremony, we also have the excitement of the Seremban tour in our hearts. I will update more on the exact details of the trip, but for now, let's talk about something else.

It might be too late to say Good Luck to the students who are taking SPM because four (or for those who are taking ICT, five) exams have already finished. So, instead, I'd like to wish you good luck for the results, which on the contrary are not coming out any time soon.

As for the graduation day, I would definitely want everyone to be there because that is literally the last day of our lives in school as students (the SPM examinations don't count as school days). So, let's all attend it and make the best of it! Plus, we'll be wearing the robes and mortarboards for the first time in our lives. Think of the fabulous experience.

And lastly, I'd like to add on behalf of everyone that a huge part of all our lives is almost over. However, there will always be sweet memories to cherish for the rest of our lives... Like the time we celebrated Mr. Yu's farewell party (and in the end, he ended up not leaving the school, lol), and the time when we all attended the phantom of the opera and made fun of it, and not forgetting the time when we organized and celebrated our last Teachers' Day in school followed by the donation to China Press for the earthquake victims in China, also the time when we became buddies of the Japanese students, our last day in the chemisty lab and of course, the time when we all skipped English class together to take pictures and made Mr. Subra take pictures for us, plus almost destroying the kindergarteners' playground... So many memories to be cherished always...

Here are a few reminders:
