30th Oct Warm and EMO

Today marks the last day of my relationships with people I hold very dear as a teacher to students. As of tomorrow, we will become friends, and we will not be different from one another. I know some of you would still address me as Mr Ong, after all, that's the name you first knew me as back when I teach in school. I can remember all of you so well, I think I'm growing old.

The first time I took over teaching an entirely new class that just started POA, I was thinking whether this job really suits me. After all, these thoughts disappeared after I started interacting with them. My first batch graduated, and now my second batch. They are finally graduating too.

My new batch of students will soon be in. My old batch of students will start to go. I will not see them every week, but I hope to see them gain something from my classes.

It doesn't need to be good grades, it doesn't need to be straight As. All I ever wanted to teach them, was how to treat themselves better, learn more about life, and the proper way to think and learn. I never really forced anybody to study, and I will always try my best to find a way how to make them learn. Every single student is unique, and everyone has their learning style. Those who put in effort, you will see your fruits in this coming O level results.

I just wanted to tell you all, every single one of you are unique, and each of you have your own beautiful character which nobody else could copy. For me, I count myself lucky to be able to help guide you in your studies and life (and of coz squeeze some $$ out of you all muahahaha).

Good luck to your paper tomorrow, its 3.40a.m. The paper will start in another 4hrs and 20 mins time. The 2 years of preparation finally came to the final paper. My last few advice to you as a teacher:

- You are smart.
- You are Intelligent.
- You have matured.
- You are ready.
- You are confident.
- You WILL be confident.


Whatever the results may be, I cannot guarantee you anything. However, if you are able to score As so easily, maybe you didn't really needed my help in the first place. Your results, is due to your own hard work and resilence in persevering through the hurdles in life.

Lastly, I sincerely hope that you enjoyed being with me, as much as I did with you.

Now I can proudly say, welcome to the next stage of your life.
I will see you all again soon...
...
...... AS FRIENDS.

I know you guys are pretty up in your necks in terms of stress level, but trust me, you wink your eyes a few more times it will be all over. Before you know it, you are choosing which Poly or JC you are going to already.

Jaslyn's been asking for DDOJ, probably a little bored with grinding for exams. So today I'll be releasing more DDOJs to help you guys have some mental orgasm... erm I mean, mental relaxation....


DDOJ:

A blonde gets on an airplane and sits down in the first class section. The stewardess tells her she must move to coach because she doesn't have a first class ticket. The blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm smart, and I have a good job and I'm staying in first class until we reach Singapore."

The stewardess gets the head stewardess who asks the woman to leave and she says "I'm blonde, I'm smart, I have a good job and I'm staying in first class until we reach Singapore."

The stewardesses don't know what to do because they have to get the rest of the passengers seated to take off, so they get the co-pilot.

The co-pilot goes up to the blonde and whispers in her ear. She immediately gets up and goes to her seat in the coach section. The head stewardess asks the co-pilot what he said to get her to move. The co-pilot replies, "I told her the front half of the airplane wasn't going to Singapore."

_____________________________________________________________

Sally, a blonde, goes on her first camping trip. Her husband, who was a Scout Leader, was sick so she volunteered to take over for him one weekend. She got everyone together and assigned different duties to each scout.

Gabby was responsible for the food supplies, Mike would be the cook this trip, Johnnie was responsible for their maps and making up a time schedule, Tim was to decide on their events, and to fit them into Johnnie's schedule and Sally would test all their equipment before setting out.

They arrived at Big Moose Mountain and everyone was excited. They arrived right on schedule and were getting ready for their first event - hiking up the mountain. But first, they wanted to get something to eat. So Sally asked Mike if he would prepare the meal and, of course, Mike said he would.

About 10 minutes later he came back and told Sally, "I can't make the supper. I can't light a fire with the matches you brought."

Sally replied, "I don't understand! Those matches should be perfectly fine. I tested them all just before we left."

_____________________________________________________________

Three men were using the urinals in a public restroom in the UK. The first man finished relieving himself, zipped up, strolled to the sinks and proceeded to wash his hands, using plenty of soap and water and doing a splendidly thorough job. As he was drying his hands (with lots of paper towels), he loftily announced to no one in particular "At Oxford, I learned to be clean and sanitary." The man then left the bathroom in a cloud of self-satisfaction. The second gent zipped up, marched briskly to the sinks, and scrubbed his hands with much less soap and water than the first man, doing a splendidly thorough job nonetheless. As he was drying his hands (with only one paper towel), he severely announced to no one in particular," At Cambridge, I learned to be clean and sanitary, but I ALSO learned to be thrifty and environmentally conscious." He then strode from the bathroom with a purposeful air.

The third man finished relieving himself, zipped up, and ambled past the sinks to the door, muttering to himself, "In Singapore, we learn not to piss on our hands."

Adios!

Mix feelings yesterday and today.

I finally started my 2nd batch of students photo takings...
As they walked out of my room, I kinda feel something amiss already....
..
.....
...............
..........................OMG my moneys are leaving me!!!

Joking la relac !!

Anyway, I really miss you guys even though I'll still be seeing you all for the rest of the month. Each one of you is very special to me, I feel like I know everyone of you like a friend, and you guys graduating is like me going through graduation again too.

I haven't started tearing yet, fat hope trying to catch it!

All I can say is, I think I've grown to love you guys alot. You are all lovely and unique in different ways, you are all special.


Enough of the sweet talkings, heres DDOJ:

There are 3 guys driving in a car, one is gay another wants to be rich, and another wants power. They get in a car accident and all go to heaven, and God says I will give you another chance to live if you all resist the things that you love the most.

So they are walking along the street and God decides to test them all so as they are walking along there is a sign above a store and it says all the power you want for free!! The guy who wanted power runs in and poof he dissapears!

So the gay guy and the guy who wants to be rich are walking along and there is a 1,000,000,000 dollar bill lying on the ground the guy who wants to be rich leans over to pick it up and poof... the gay guy disappears!!!

Adios!

5th Oct Warm

Been feeling unhealthy the past few days, and finally it struck this morning.

Wake up feeling like I got a thousand needles pricking my head, was running a fever, almost lost my voice, was coughing, and might have a flu. Bad things always happen in a bunch.

Nonetheless, I just told a few groups that it would be the 2nd last, or even last lesson with me already before the O levels. I kinda feel amiss, seeing that you guys are gonna graduate so soon, my life would be emptying out all those laughter and scoldings.

However, those would eventually be replaced by my 3rd batch of students who will fill up the empty slots. I miss my first batch, and now I'm going to miss my 2nd batch. I just realized I'll be missing a lot of people soon.

I'll be taking photos with you guys soon, so for the next few lessons, wear something a little more nice yea? You take class photos in school, now you do it again with the friendly neighborhood tutor, ME!! heh.

Oh and not to forget, 2 nights ago was one of my best army friend's big day. His baby boy came out really chubby and cute! Although we haven't met so long, we still have so much to chat about. Really much congratulations to you bro. It sets me thinking, what am I still doing single. Hahaha.


DDOJ:

There was this little guy sitting inside a bar, just looking at his drink.

He didn't move for a half-an-hour.

Then this big trouble-making truck driver stepped up right next to him, took the drink from the guy, and drank every it all down.

The poor man started crying, The truck driver turned and said, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man crying."

"No, it's not that. Today is the worst day of my life. First, I overslept and was late for an important meeting. My boss became outraged and then fired me.

When I left the building to my car, I found out that it was stolen. The police said they could do nothing. I then got a cab to return home, and after I paid the cab driver and the cab had gone, I found that I had left my wallet in the cab.

I got home only to find my wife was in bed with the gardener.

I left home depressed and came to this bar.

And now, just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, YOU show up and drink my poison..."

Adios!

2nd Oct Warm

Shitty WARM DAY.

The world's weather has gone mad I tell you.

The world's gone mad too.

Electricity bills up 22%, my pocket down 22%.

World economy falling, USA's economy sitting on the fence like a thin grass.

My only consolation news?

- I do not have to choose between a fan and air-con, the choice is obvious in these freak weathers.

- I do not have to plan how to use my money, they can go to the bills.

- I do not need to be scared of retrenchment, I'm already unemployed "officially".

- Maybe i'll finally stop seeing so much Mcdonalds in my life around me.


Anyway N levels kids, the paper's next week.
The coming days, you're the biggest.
Tell me when you need help, I'll even fork out my sleeping time.
(but while teaching I'll probably be digging out your eyes)

Good luck everyone, if you worked hard enough you won't have to worry. =)


DDOJ:

New boots

An elderly couple, Margaret and Bert, moved to Texas . Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home.

Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, 'Notice anything different about me?'
Margaret looked him over. 'Nope.
Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into the kitchen completely naked except for the boots.

Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, 'Notice anything different NOW?'

Margaret looked up and exclaimed, 'Bert, what's different? It's hanging
down today; it was hanging down yesterday; it'll be hanging down again tomorrow!'

Furious, Bert yelled, 'AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?'

'Nope', she replied.

'IT'S HANGING DOWN BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!'

Without changing her expression, Margaret replied,
'Shoulda bought a hat, Bert... Shoulda bought a hat.

Adios!
