Read emb yesterday and saw kevin cheng's message. He is leaving. Then i went to ask one ispark friend and found that he is leaving for xinmin...
Well, as far as i can remember, there are already like 7 teachers leaving/have left our school this year. Let's count: wangwy, hojw, janeysim, fooxc, tanhy, edmundteo and now, kevincheng. And these are only the teachers whom i know who are leaving, there might be some other teachers whom i don't know, who will be leaving next year too. This is really a scary trend. What does this tell us about our school? about the school's policy and its education system?
I think the answer is very obvious.

Just sent Tag off to USA this morning (best wishes to him) and after that, i had to rush to my cali teacher's house and then had to rush to NAFA with him to help out in his exhibition's preparation.
After everything, we proceeded to Orchard for lunch. It was at the lunch which had set me thinking about myself again. There were four of us, my teacher (a senior citizen), my teacher's friend (another senior citizen), my teacher's student (should be aged at around 40+) and me (a secondary school student who is also the youngest student of my teacher).
It was rather awkward for me to have lunch with them. During the lunch, i was like basically stoning there, listening to their conversations, smiling to their jokes which i don't feel funny, and then trying hard to join into the conversation just for the sake of making myself not to be the odd one out. In the end, i still could not blend myself in. Maybe it is the age difference, or maybe it is the difference in interests. But all these are just excuses, i could have 'performed' better...
Next time when i encounter with this kind of situation again, i will not make myself so awkward again.. because it is just so awkward to be in such situation... so awkward that i don't know how to describe my awkwardness...
Anw, there is an orchestra performance at NAFA (nanyang academy of find arts) at 8pm tomorrow, anyone? Come with me and i will treat you for the ticket (because admission is free).
