Departures. (Friday, November 06, 2009)
I have shelved (both literally and not) the idea of reading Hannibal. I’ve tried reading Pride and Prejudice but it’s really boring to me. In fact, I would include it on my Top 10 Boring Books list, right up there with Hannibal and The Hobbit. Perhaps I’m suitable for neither grandiloquence nor literature classics. Pride and Prejudice and The Hobbit are both. Twilight, for instance, might classify as prolixity (this claim has been made by netizens, a friend and myself), along with Hannibal. Today was the last day of school and it was full of separations and leaving. Cleaned up the classroom; it practically gleams now. Level closure was totally ruined by the Sec 1s because they took an extra 20 minutes from our time and used it to walk out leisurely from the auditorium in single file. Thus, half of the cohort (including 206) did not get a chance to present their/our picture montage to our batch. I don’t even see why the Sec 1s required such a lengthy level closure; it’s not as if they’re changing classes next year. Is that what they want; or the separating seniors to be unable to have a proper closure to their years together? I am once again exaggerating (perhaps that is my forte) but I don’t think it’s really fair. Report books were nothing new; however I did look forward to them because mark sheets are not official documents. And of course, I wanted to find out if teachers managed to spell my name correctly in their remarks (which they eventually did). 206 is separating; Ms Yap/Mdm Yick are too leaving the school (along with a few other teachers). Perhaps I will miss 206 after all. 2 years, while not a particularly long duration of time, it has been reasonably enjoyable and I wish everyone good luck in their future endeavours. (God I do hate the word ‘endeavour’. It is very much overused, but I am unable to find a suitable replacement without consulting dictionaries or such.) Goodbye 206, I might miss all of you. (okay no, I will probably miss all of you) Goodbye Ms Yap, our pinky principal. One must differentiate between optimism and ignorance. But I safely assure you that Ms Yap belongs to the former. Goodbye Mdm Yick, 106’s favourite LA teacher. Mdm Yick may not be the brightest teacher (she usually doesn’t catch on to jokes quickly) nor most efficient but I think she’s relatively friendly. Furthermore, everyone would agree with me that she had sufficiently prepared us for Mrs Heng, whom we faced this year. I mean, we had a rough expectation of the teacher, didn’t we? We weren’t too shocked by Mrs Heng, right? Goodbye Mrs Heng, we thoroughly enjoyed your many stories/recollections of past girls’ mischief throughout the year and we feel very sorry for your recent loss. I look forward to our last minute bonding in Malacca. We hope that you will continue with your 206/202 legacy so that we can come back and say, “Mrs Heng, you’re teaching 206 again!” Oh goodbyes are too sorrowful and touching. I assure you that these paragraphs are completely devoid of the usual sarcasm. (Wait, is this counted as an oxymoron?) I tried to make the last sentence funny. I probably failed. |
