ohmagawd. MISS LUI RETIRED FROM TKGS!! what the fuck?! i'm like, shocked. firstly, she's not that old. second, i didn't think she'd ever leave her post as the Math HOD in TK.
then again, she's like near damn rich enough to live her next ten years in Europe, probably so i guess her pension plus what she has now is enough to make her.. well, damn rich. & yet she still didn't give me ten bucks for my oranges!

(haha. i sound so incredibly greedy.)

but i'm being serious & sincere when i say that i miss her. with her gone, so is a huge chunk of my life in TKGS. sure, she may be a bitch thus causing her to be extremely loathed by some of her students, but i know she means well. even when her sarcasm strikes the target in your heart & makes you cry. even when she screams at you for not pasting in her notes proper or forgetting to bring your Amath notebook. even when she tears your paper right infront of you because you didn't follow her instructions. even when she deducts unreasonable marks off your tests because you didn't leave sufficient spaces in between questions. even when she's just being a downright, hard core bitch.

Miss Lui was THE teacher. sure, she made me hate her for some time. she made me feel like the puniest, dumbest Amath student she'd ever taught. she made my self esteem in my abilities in math drop down close to zero. but when you talk to her outside of class or school, she's just like any other normal human being. i learnt that she's been looking out for me. she encouraged me to go to her during breaks to ask for help (though i never did, WHO DARED TO?) she told me straight out that at that point of time, yes, "grades are important, but it isn't the end of the world when you fail. you just try & try again, & reach the top."

i dropped Amath, on her advice. she made me see the light, haha. but even after that, she always checked up on me & asked how i was doing in other classes, & when i improved from a ridiculous E8 for the Emath prelims to a B3 for the O's, she was just too proud beyond words that she kept smiling & told me that i'd done well. :)

no, i don't hate her now. i was looking forward to seeing her the next time i drop by, but guess not, hey. :(


okay so anyway. moving on from the sudden news.


i really thought today was gonna be fucked up. i left the house so caught up with remembering to bring Snam's shoes to pass to her in the evening, when i realised AT CITY HALL that i'd forgotten my Biz Stats textbook & my file which had my Econs lecture notes, Biz stats & Accounting Tutorial & my Internet Webbing notes i was supposed to study.

basically i'd come unprepared for the day. except that i had my Biz stats workbook & my Accounting tutorial/lecture notes so it wasn't so bad.

Iskandar told me to keep smiling throughout the day. Hafiz told me not to worry. Lebin said "uh-oh" cos he needed his Biz stats textbook for his lecture which was the same timeslot as mine. haha.

worse still, i got lost during Accounting tutorial today. & the calculating during Biz stats got me a little haywired too, but it's all about the formulas! so, memorising's needed. & loadsa practice. ugh, so Amath man.


& i'm a member of Student Union! & so are Tyng, Regan, Aloysius, Eugene & Joel Ho. HAH. gooood. getting Kessler & Lebin to join also, then we can rock SU together! hahahaha
but it's quite interesting. just that i don't wanna go for the camp. so as of now, i have a cousin's wedding in Brunei from 11-13 May. & i swear, i have something on the 12th but can't seem to remember WHAT.

then we bumped into Kessler! :) & we went to Grassroots for some overpriced food & one small scoop of icecream which cost $2.50 when i can get even more utility from a soft cone from Macs.


okay, i have to hurry to hit my Oral Comm notes cos I JUST REMEMBERED I HAVE A TUTORIAL TO DO when i came home, happily thinking i can go online & sleep right after.

but now i'm enjoying some much needed hard tummy-aching laughter courtesy of Zack Zailani & the freshies:)
