An Ode to Thee


Teacher... the Geography test will be hard, ah?
No... it will be soft.


Fellow 3 Biruans, you know what I mean. Our ex-form teacher will be retiring tomorrow. Oy, jangan berpura-pura... don't act macho. You know as well as I do that we will all miss her terribly.

Who can forget the numerous sarcastic remarks that she comes up with?
Hey, so-and-so, write faster! Am I going to have to wait for you until tomorrow ah?
(Or something like that... I don't remember the exact words. Let me know if you remember other sentences she said.)

Or her most popular phrase:
Girls, ahhhh.......

Or even those most unteacher-like moments...
Chapter 16... -flips through pages- all boring crap...

Can we ever forget the time when we first met her, and were so surprised when she pulled out her glasses from what we thought was a container for a pen...
Did you see her glasses?? So THIN!!

But best of all, (or perhaps worse...) was when she got so angry at us on the day before Teacher's Day for being unresponsive that she started teaching without actually talking directly at us. On Teacher's Day, we sang her an apology version of My Chemical Romance's 'The Black Parade'... wait... I can still remember a bit of the chorus:

We're really sad,
We've made you mad,
That was not our intention,
We didn't mean for this to happen,
No not at all...

And she said it was the most beautiful speech anyone had ever said to her. And she got teary eyed, and all us macho teens got teary eyed. She talked to us for awhile, and thankfully, she was so distracted that she forgot all about scolding us about the brooms and dustbin lying all over the place... (which was what she was going to say, before we started singing... :-p)

There's also the card we gave her when she wasn't feeling well for a few days.

And after the Teacher's Day session, lessons with her got considerably a lot more pleasant. We laughed more over Robinson Crusoe, Rudolf Rassendyll and where Bangkok is on the map.

So now she's off to a much more stress-free life, as our headmistress said this morning. Perhaps she's going to travel the world and take a more up-close-and-personal look on the subject she loves so much.
(Thank goodness we had a 100% pass rate for PMR Geography...)

*Sigh* I might actually cry tomorrow... seriously... XD
