"both mother n baby feel sian... doing prelim invigilation... yawn... nice weather to zzzz."

and when i told her not to fall asleep while invigilating...

"ha ha ha... dun worry.. S31 tackling further maths paper furiously... no time to lose, they wont know whether i slack or not."

does that look like it came from a junior college teacher? no way! it all started when, at theng's reminder, i sms'ed her birthday greetings. good to know she has yet to forget this 'ever so slim n almost never do tutorial student in my (her) class'. sorry mdm chen, i've returned most if not all of my physics knowledge to you, so i can't help you with your marking of papers. i'll just end up grading everyone A or F, the 2 extremes!

hmm, i remember how mdm chen will always get one of us (my clique) to provide solutions to tutorials on the board, because she knows some of us probably did not do our work. i suppose it is her intention to at least make us try the questions on the spot, since we did not have the discipline to do so at home.

there you go, an entry dedicated to one of the best teachers i ever had! thanks mdm chen, i owe the A to you.

interesting to note that beneath all the guises we assume, all the facades put up, be it for work or anything else, we are essentially and fundamentally human. there's always a time for laziness.
