Episode: Teacher's Day
Friday, August 29, 2008

Something kept bothering me when I was about to go sleep yesterday night. I knew that I was going to visit my secondary school teachers today, and I do not want to make my visit something like a Hi and Bye kind of visit, thus this 'Aidiea' kept bothering me that night. So, I just thought of making something to give my teachers, as something to remember me by.

My 'Aidiea' is to give something to my teachers who have thought me. There were six teachers in my mind, so I picked up the cardboard that I had and started dividing them into six pieces. After writing out the message, I cut it out just like a jigsaw puzzle, as teachers are the pieces of the puzzle of my life. It took me quite sometime to accurately cut the jigsaw pieces. So, in order for my teachers to read my message, they have to get together put the pieces together and read it. I imagined that it would be great if they got together for this and read it.



Woke up at around 9+, then I got ready and went out of the house. Took the bus to my secondary school, and I arrived there around 10am together with Liyana and Rafiq. We had to sign in our names in order to get in the school to meet out teachers. I mean, its teacher's day, you should expect a lot of ex-students to visit the school.

The first thing that we did was to go to the canteen and eat the Mee Rebus and Mee Soto. I remember that we used to eat it everyday for school, but now we only get to eat it at least one a year. Though it does not taste that high class, but the experience of eating it brings a lot of memories to all of us.

After years of not using the fountain, it seems to rot at places.

After eating, we went up to the hall and watched the Teacher's Day performances. There were some potentially great performances and I enjoyed them a lot.

We were at the gallery when we were viewing the performances. The helmets are Rafiq's, I am just posing with it, to take in the feel of owning a motorcycle license..hehe.

After the performances, we went looking around for the six teachers that I want to see before I go off.

At the end of the day, I manage to give out all six pieces of the jigsaw puzzle. These were some of the ones who got it. Most of my teachers asked me where is my gal and how come she did not came along. Well, I simply told them that she is having her test at the moment, thus unable to come along.



Soon, it was time to go for prayers. Rafiq sent me to the mosque, and after that he joined the rest to chill outside.


After prayers, I joined them for some fun. Rafiq and Liyana have to polish their Taitee skills, as they were the only ones who lost in the game. And Liyana, don't you think that I forget about the forfeit that you owe us..haha.

We than waited for my gal to finish her last paper today. Her paper ends at 4pm, at around 4+ she called, and told us that she is going home first to change then go out to meet us. Since we knew it would be a good hour or so before she gets out of the house, we went home.

I took the bus home. I even got the time to bathe, re-do my hair and rest on my bed for a while before my gal messaged to meet.

After 3 long weeks without seeing her due to the tests and assignments, finally we get to meet today. Without wasting any time we went off to Dhobby Ghaut. We went to Paradiz Centre's Mad Jacks to eat. We were there at around 7. She ordered blue mountain while I got myself the fish baked rice.


By the time we finished eating, it was around 8+. It took her sometime to finish the blue mountain. I even noticed that a lot of people around us had finished their food and left the place before us.

Then, we thought of walking to the Singapore Flyer for a look at the reception counter, but after walking for about half an hour, we were unsure of the direction, so we made a turn to Marina Square, then the Esplanade to peep at the BayBeats 2008. At that time when we left, Peepshow was just warming up. Thought of staying there for a while to listen, but its ok, maybe next time.

Got home at around 10pm or so. Today seem to be one of the best days for weeks. Met my dear teachers after a year not seeing them and my gal after three weeks not seeing her. Hope that this sacrifice that we made would pay off in our results. I do believe both of us gave our all for this semester's test and assignments. We do deserve good results ya.
