A Friend Who'd Passed By

Some part of me was made to think of a dear friend who had left us at the day when the caring teacher awards were announced.

When we were all fresh and new from NIE, it never occurred to me on how a teacher could have sacrificed for a class that she barely even knew. Staying back almost everyday when exams were near was something i could have never perceived then.

A good deed? A sincere will to do good from the heart?

A tribute to you, my dear friend.

Passing Out Parade 2006

This year was sorta messy for me... having to coordinate the Marist Youth Day with my form class duty as well as managing assignments all at once. In the end i did not even go one round the stalls to buy or look at anything.

By the time i was done with the arrangement of the assignments, it was time for lunch and then the big O level oral exams.

Again another excruciating 3 hours of pain, or deciding peoples' futures and then the rush to be back at school for the passing out parade for the sec 4s.

this year was kinda different.

we actually spent a lot of time on the photograph-taking session and much lesser time on the concert itself.

could also sense the feeling of pride and happiness and sadness.. .and could sense the sincerity in the planning of the event also.

was glad that it was a great event to end the day with, although the body has been through 16 hrs of non-stop work and responsibility. The sec 3 dance item was very nice, the speech by the outgoing chairperson was touching and the ending talking session was nicely done.

but though the heart might wish for many things, reality may not turn out as forth.

wonder how things are going to be done when school reopens on tuesday, when OC is out for reservist, adjutant is out for oral exams and the rest of the TOs are not really familiar with the newly established SOPs.

lets hope all will turn out fine.
