One of those moments when you're really proud of your alma mater... Hahaha. I guess for the students, most of them only had the thought of going home earlier in mind. ;)

There was a year, ten over years ago, when the same thing happened - it rained in the morning and so there was no opportunity to speak of the wonderful results our ahteletes had handed in. We were asked to assemble at the hall halfway through the day... where our principal would make the announcements and then give us the rest of the day off.

The difference today is that I'm one of those asking students to assemble at the hall halfway through the day. Haha...

Track and Field A, B, C boys champions, A girls 1st runner up, Gymastics A, B, C boys champions, A girls trampoline champions, Judo A, C boys champions, A girls and B boys 1st runner ups, not forgetting the many more championship titles from the other sports, and the many golds and gold with honors from the performing groups, and a clean sweep of gold by the uniformed groups... I guess it was different then viewing all these results from the eyes of a student; now I see a hallmark of excellence.

But then the difference this time round too is that I still have work to do... so I still have to stay still pretty late. :| Hahaha.

I'm happy to be working here... really. There're many things that can be taken for granted - even the students. I might have felt discouraged here and there... but taking a step back, most of them do possess a level of maturity that goes way beyond most of their peers - not just in terms of the academics, but in terms of respect, behaviour - something very evident through daily interactions with them.

After doing one year of relief teaching and contract work... I am really looking forward to the day when I can say for sure... that I am back.
