I visited my secondary four higher chinese teacher (who used to head the gifted education department before the consortia system came in and iSpark was born - which was under her care for a few years) this afternoon at her house for a lunar new year visitation together with some of my secondary four classmates... about nine of us turned up and one from another class.

Wah my teacher never seem to age. -.- Hahaha... TEN YEARS ALREADY! There were so many things I used to take for granted in the past... I'm just thankful that we're still having this reunion each year without fail - it's good to catch up with the rest as well. :)

Suddenly had so much more in common to chat with her about that we actually went on and on... she walked a classmate and myself out to the bus stop... and we ended up chatting there for another hour or so standing at the bus stop! Hahaha...

One thing - she's currently teaching Char on a module on differentiated learning in NIE... Char and I were wondering that if we are to both visit her at the same time, if she would talk to me in mandarin and then switch to english for Char. Hahaha... well we'll know next time. (: And of course, now that I'm working where I am, there's just so much more to talk about.

And I'm just glad that I'm not the only one who thinks the way I think with regards to certain things... well. Nevermind for now. But yeah, it's an honor to have an educator who's won the President's Award for Teachers before think the same way. :)

She was commenting how satisfying it is to see how we've all grown up... there was a point when she gleefully told her husband who's who and what we've become... Haha.

And I told her that I do look forward to ten, eleven years down the road from now on. Then we'll have to institute a day to visit her over CNY and another day for us to stay at home for visitations - my other classmate's a teacher trainee now. Haha...

It's something I picked up along the way today... that in this line there's bound to be people who'll misunderstand you, doubt your actions and even your sincerity.

And I just need to be reminded constantly what I'm in here for... and to do what I have to do and should do, and never to do anything that goes against conscience.
