1 September 2010
Today was Teachers' Day. Usually when it comes to this day, a day before, I will go and visit my teachers in Secondary school and ITE. But this year due to some reasons, I did not.

Luckily CQ gave us an opportunity to voice our gratitute to all the teachers who had taught us. He helped us read the dedications and also our Thanks to all the teachers.

Come to think, I was quite obedient student and was once appointed as Chinese Rep. My results were so-so. Not very good neither was it that bad.

But what I remembered most was during my Primary School, I had once won a prize for my composition. If you were to asked me, was it English Compo or Chinese Compo, I really could not recall. I only remembered that day before I was called on stage, my form teacher said very funny words to me. He said my compo was well written and even encourage me to work hard to strive for express stream in Secondary School. That was the only time I went up stage to receive the prize.

What was memorable in Secondary School? Other than being outcasts most of the time, what I remembered most was during N and O Level times. I ever wanted to gave up in studies. Especially ART which I never scored well. My art teacher never gave me up. She helped me a lot and especially during my N and O level art works. Sad to say eventually I did not turned up for the paper and I believe I had disappointed her. When it comes to O level June Intensive Revision classes, I skipped all and even refused to turned up in school for two weeks. If not for the friends and teachers who have not given me up, I guessed I would never complete my O level.

When I flopped my O level as the results of not studying hard, I was put into a dilemma of whether to retake the whole Secondary 5 and retake my O Level or I should move on to next step, ITE.

I remembered I had a good chat with my Mathematics teacher and she told me that I should not retake the O level if I have no confidence that I will do better than now. She told me, entering ITE was not a disgrace. Maybe I can do better if I continue my studies in ITE and may also excel and be able to proceed to Polytechnic.

After much consideration, I decided to enter ITE and continue pursuing my studies. Till now, I am very grateful to all teachers from Primary School till ITE. Without them, I believe I would have been a dropout. Thanks Teachers.

Today was the celebration for Steven's birthday. We did not have very grand celebration but had a happy dinner at Xing Wang Cafe located at City Link. After dinner, we went for bowling.

We, comprises, Terence, Kenneth, Raymond, Andrew, Steven and myself. Only Andrew, Steven, Kenneth and myself played bowling.

What a letdown, I never strike at all. I was almost the last who scored very low. But luckily I have Kenneth who scored even lower than me. I only spared a few times during 2 rounds of play.

I felt very happy with them. Well, being the only female, they more or less will give way to me. Thanks for all the fun today. Great to have all of you as my friends.
