A trip back to maris stella...

Today was teacher's day, so naturally, went back to maris stella. Before that showed my face in school first though. Played cards throughout the whole thing, then after that went back to maris stella.

As usual, they had their annual teacher's day concert, which was always very joker-like. Now they have an external emcee, instead of some kuku PRC scholar. How times have changed, our time are really very different from now. Could hear those deafening cheers and boos when i entered the hall. Seriously, it's been a long time since i have heard such loud cheer and appreciation, really missed those days when you think back.

During the performance, there was some prize for the judges, which the emcee announced one by one. "Mrs Justina Tay!"

Wah you could see our faces, all damn shock, heard she got married to a doctor or some guy along that profession. I also noticed alot of new young female teachers, guess the marists now would not be so desperate. I still prefer the name Justina Lu though, sounds nicer.

Met up with some of my friends, francis, edmund, jason to name a few, it was really fun meeting up with them and talked about our life, the boring part though. Let's hope next year we are still able to meet up and talk about the interesting stuff that happens in NS.

Went to talk to Mr Lim, mostly telling me not to slack and work hard for the next 2 months. He has become the 2 consecutive winner in a row of the Marist Teacher Of The Year award. Very impressive indeed, aiming for a hat trick next year i guess, heard he's planning to get married next year too.

He said something that was quite sad, that teachers feel very happy when ex students come back to the school and see them, but after that, they have this feeling that we all have moved on without them. Life would be so much easier if we do not need to move on. Then he also mentioned that after our As we'll be going into the army, and don't know when he'll be able to see us again.

I didn't noticed how time fly, 4 years since my idol became my form teacher, and 2 years since i left Maris Stella. I still miss the school, the jokers, the lessons, but that's history already. Sometimes, time really pass so fast then when we stop to reflect, a few years our life have gone by. Life...so complicated at times.

I'm very motivated to study now, maths god actually told me not to slack, how to defy? Haha, look forward to tomorrow. KFC! About time to get some match fitness under my belt.
