Teacher Appreciation

1.12.2008, this will be the last day I'm wearing school uniform, heading to the same school on every morning. When it is really the time to leave, I feel sad, I don't wanna leave so soon, I've got no idea what is waiting for me ahead, and what choice I have to make, whether it is right or wrong.


Well, I first entered Sekolah Seri Suria when I was 4 or 5 years old, I can't remember in exact. Formerly, it was known as Sekolah Sang Suria, and I was a CEC kid then a Q-dees kid and back to CEC kid. It was the school who was changing the pre-school, not me who changed here and there. I met great teachers and nice friends there, like Mrs. Tan, Mrs. Selvam, E Von, Lianne and Kah Yerng. Hands in hands going down for lunch and to the playground were still crystal clear in my mind.


I can still remember that when I first promoted to Junior 1, more people came into my life. Pn. Azzah, Shirly, Suet Yin, Han Yi, Xindii, Kendrick and Jin Xung, they are the few whom I list out here, and of course, there are many of them more! I remember that we wore white shoes that time and had a black tie with the old school badge. It was like ages ago. And the following years, I met a few great teachers, like Ms. Goh, Ms. Yong, Mr. Toi, Ms. S.P.Lee and Cik Wati ( I can't list all of them here. ) And since Junior 3, I became friends with Kar Lin and Audrey because we were probates and got along always during the recess time although we were of different classes.


After the UPSR examinations, most of them left the school. The few who stayed in Seri Suria were Karen, Set Wern, Audrey, Kah Yerng and Kar Lin. I still remember who I sat with for each and every Form. It's not hard to remember at all because it was either Karen or Set Wern, or both of them and for the few months before this, Jaren. Great teachers like Mr. Wong, Pn. Ramlah, Cik Ida, Mr. Steven Ling, Mr. Ying, Mr. Darmindar, Mr. Gan, Ms. Yap also motivated me to work harder. That's my lower secondary life.


Then, I moved on to the upper secondary. It was time to decide which stream I should go for, or I should say which path chosen by my family, I can't decide at all. I doubt that I can either for my college life later on. How pathetic things are going on recently. But many thanks to teachers who taught me these 2 years such as Mr. Yu, Ms. Paulina, Mr. Ganesh, Mr. Subra, Pn. Halidah, Pn. Abby, Ms. Fam and Pn. Rohaya. I gave in my best in SPM, and have no regret. Hopefully the results are satisfying and won't disappoint all of you.


Teachers, you all gave us the strength and courage to move on towards the next stage of life. We've got nothing better to say than a "Thank You" and "I Love You". Thanks for your patience in teaching us, although we might be rebellious teenagers sometimes, but we appreciate every little thing you gave us, either in a soft or harsh way. We understand them now. I love you, teachers!


P.S: Might upload pictures if I'm able to find any in my computer. Mostly are these 2 years photos I reckon.

P.P.S: Next post will be about all my friends. :)

P.P.P.S: Should order more expensive meal next time, just missed a chance to spend my sister's money, or I should say her boyfriend's money.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!

Graduation Day

14th of November 2008, a day which will be remembered by most of the Form 5's in Sekolah Seri Suria. Well, you may wonder why, and the answer will be none other than it's our big day, GRADUATION DAY! It's really unbelievable that we actually graduated from high school. I have been a Surian for 13 years, really remarkable day.


*Taking Mathematics papers*

*Totally speechless*

*Oopss, and now people are clapping? WHY?*

*Because we are graduating!*


Actually the F.R.I.E.N.D.S planned to have breakfast before going to school on that day, but too bad, I woke up late, so we got to rush to Ampang to fetch Ms. Tess as she was waiting for us impatiently since 6.30 a.m. We finally reached school at 8.00 a.m, which was half an hour late. Most of them already wore their robes and mortarboard, made me more nervous.


Hence, we quickly queued up for our robes and mortarboard and of course took the formal picture. Everybody was busy with their hair because the mortarboard made us looked really weird. Nevertheless, we were all busy taking photos also, as if our SPM ends already. But it was a total blast. :)


*Misty, as if we are heading to Genting*

*Adjusting my pose*

*1,2,3-Smile*

Around 9.00 a.m, all of us lined up according to class in the canteen, waiting for the instruction to enter the hall. Our subject teachers wore robes as well, how nice was it? It's the first time I saw teachers dressed up, except for the Scholastic Awards. We were holding a candle also, symbolizing our school's motto, "Light Unto The World".


Ta-dah! Then it was 9.30 a.m. All of us entered the hall, in the dark. Everybody was looking at us, and the only source of light were our candles and the bright spot light.Walked a big round and finally sat comfortably in our seats. It was cooling inside, unlike outside, where we were sweating due to our robes.


Then, it was all the speeches by VIP's, awards giving and of course our scrolls giving. I know, all the names for the events sound pretty weird. Just spare me, kinda lazy to think words. Of course, we had our class photo session. It was way better than usual photoshoot for magazine. We were all in our robes. Totally awesome! :)


*Just got my scroll for leadership thingy*

*Mrs Mano and I hugged? XD*

*And this was for the graduating part*
