I followed my thoughts to the past
Yesterday was another hectic day for me. Swim in the morning, bike lesson followed by rushing home for dinner and den off i went to ntu for a game, so i am writing from ntu. =D
Jing Lian Fa Shi once said: the mind is the strongest and one who can muster his state of mind can roam the 3 realms and past, present and future.
Wad does she mean? In fact in our daily lives, we are doing it unknowingly juz that there is no proper technique in doing it for our own reflection. Most of the time we think or ponder abt certain things. In an instant, an evil thought may come to mind, and that instant, our thought is in hell. On the other hand, upon a thought of goodness, the mind lands in heaven. As we think abt our past, present and future actions, our mind follow its pathway and lands accordingly. Alright its getting too technical to explain, skip. =D
That night after the supper with the old boys, i walked home and passed by Blk 123. Every time, passing by Blk 123 i would think of Blk 121 and the scene of me and group of friends attending my form teacher's wedding at blk 121 would resurface. Why particularly blk 123 that brings back the memories? Cos that time we could not find the Blk121 where the wedding was held, and we wandered ard blk 123 for some time b4 eventually finding it.
I was only primary 4 then. She was my primary 3 and primary 4 form teacher, and of cos she is my fav teacher. I cant forget that time when i was still in primary 3, weak in drawing diagram to represent my answers for mathematics, she dedicated one morning to give me and 1 other classmate guidance.
During the lesson, her colleague shouted across: Azlin, happy 24th birthday! And they chatted for a short moment. I looked at my classmate, and she immediately understood my intentions. Immediately after that, i went up to my class. Informed everyone abt that and coordinated with everyone when the birthday song shld be sang.
When she came in for her lesson, we greeted her as usual, and then sang her the birthday song. I have no idea wad she was feeling, all i know den was that she was wiping away one corner of her eye.
Its way too early to celebrate teacher's day. But as she is no longer teaching at bedok south pri, i have no ways to contact her. How i wish one day i can have a hearty chat with her and let her know that she has been a great influence on me.=)
All teachers, i pray that u can find ur passion in teaching=)

Haiz! My pri teachers were an AWFUL bunch bent on traumatising my then weak mind! It's so damn impt to be teaching the right values as an educator on any level, I must say.
Then again, you have to have lousy teachers to bring out the good ones, haa. It's just like, can one necessarily be good if there's no evil as the comparison? Hmm..
haha. i believe u can tell wads good whether or not there is any presence of bad. Juz that the presence of bad makes u appreciate the good and hope that they last. In this case, we will not always take the good for granted. =D
Haa, not really; just because the world, or so it seems, started out with evil and good co-existing, we can never really envision a world without either, and the fact that you BELIEVE you CAN tell what's good, even if there's no bad, shows how much we've subconsciously bought into this whole concept.
Haa, there's indeed a blur line between good and bad; but bad teachers, I can easily name a few off the top of my head... =X
Haha. Maybe i m juz lucky to have encountered only one very bad one in jc and to suffer hell with him. I learnt to appreciate the good thru him. I think there is still good in the presence of this bad teacher, and this is one of the reasons why i missed this one of my good teachers. Now i shall appreciate them thru how i remember them.=D
