exit...stage right...or wrong

so kiddos, it's uneventfully the start of your promos on children's day and well, the child in me would like to wish the child in you the best in what's left of your days as minors (not like few of you haven't already tried certain vices only legally-accessible to 18&aboves)

right. I guess what this entry is really about is to express my sentiment about having spent almost 3 terms with you...the longest in my record as a relief-teach. It's weird. I only meant to spend a term with you peeps, but well, it turns out I wanted to see all of you through to the finish line.

so 23, you've been a really motley & charming lot -- with the primates, mice, and other exotic creatures from other lands...haha your class is like a zoo, and yes, I support PETA and other worthy causes saving animals...coz I love 'em!

and 18, ladies and the best gentleman i've met in eons -- you'll always have a place in my heart. your classes always came at the worst times of the day (too early or too late!) but you know what? Just looking at your pure, teachable faces was enough motivation. I really hope you womyn thrive as individuals, and that the only chap will come out of these two years the most enlightened of his species.

and of course my beloved PD 05, you are like assorted nuts (I mean that in a good way...wait for it) -- I look forward to seeing you all every time, except during the tense episodes of love/hate drama hahaha!. But seriously, you all are special in your own ways, and like a pack of nuts, each one appeals in flavour...well except that flat kidney-shaped one (fava bean?) which I hate! You will all be dearly cherished for everything that you are.

Go kick butt in the exams, kiddos! And if you see me on the street, don't be a stranger, OK?
And I will continue to exasperate you in spirit! muahahahah!

meanwhile...some 'gentle' reminders from my HOD for the promos

It is the candidate's duty to be:

1. neat (avoid excessive & untidy cancellations)

2. ensure his / her handwriting is clear and big (not tiny that cannot be read)

3. use dark ink pen (not light blue / black) to ensure visibility

4. use simple & clear sentences (avoid verbosity and convoluted sentences)

It is their duty to ensure the examiner can read their work. They should not penalise themselves unneccesarily. The examiner cannot give marks to anything he / she cannot read.

haha you heard her. so you know what to do.

Too short a term break...

Anyway, it's the final lap of your JC1 and based on the last essay you all wrote, I've observed a blatant lack of knowledge in the examples you raised. So it's time you did some background search on these essential terms before you make the same stark factual fallacies in your final exams:

1. Globalisation and Culture
2. Environment & Biodiversity, Sustainable Development
3. Terrorism and War

Try to also find relevant articles on the above and PASTE the links on your blogs.

And if you haven't already, please complete your blog entry on same-sex marriage before your promos, or at least before they find a cure for cancer!
If you can, drop me a message here once you've updated. thanx!
