And so, ten months of fun, toil, tease and slaughter comes to a close. Today marks the official end of the school year for 2006. And next year, as KC puts it, we're going to "cross over the invisible line to become what is know as...Upper Secondary." This means that 2N06 (and all the other classes) is going to be split up next year, according to the programmes we choose. I must say 2N is probably the class with the most class spirit (yeah, Ms Foo will be happy to hear that), and if not for certain discord caused by a certain person (and also his other members) in the class, we would probably have gotten the Best Teamwork class award. Fancy that going to 2L, the residence of the likes Swee Kiat and Kah Hong, and all the other weirdos and niaosters. I cannot imagine how the teachers came up with the conclusion that their class had lots of teamwork. Fortunately, it didn't go to 2M, the AP class. Phew. I mean, after the exams, we were having 2 class outings every week. (Not surprisingly, certain members of the class, including the one mentioned above, never attended any of them, or one at best.) And rest assured we'll definitely have even more outing during the upcomign holidays. Now beat that, 2L. Of course, credit must also go to the highly-effective CMC which is even mroe effective than the iCouncil. 'specially to our charismatic chairman/boss/gang leader, Bing Heng, who not only got the class into lots of trouble, but also pulled us through thick and thin. Not the forget our wonderful monitors (yes, im the assistant monitor), fierce treasurer, slacky secretary, commading facilities sec., initiative welfare sec., and extremely knowledgeable AV reps. Well done, guys! And how could we ever miss out our *cough*handsomeintelligentgoodlooking*cough* Kudos to all our other subject teachers too, in no order of merit: Ms Foo, Mr Lim, Mr B. Ong, Ms Gwee, Mrs yong, Mr Yong (no they aren't married to each other), Mr Tan, Mr Lee F.Y., Mr. Loh, and also all the temp teachers who taught us at one point or another. Thank you! (For more detailed dedications, do read my Teacher's Day tributes, if you haven't already done so.) Sadly, two of our teachers will be leaving us next year, namely: Mr. Bernard Ong, and Ms Sarah Foo. Mr. Ong will eb retiring from his teaching career, while Ms Foo will be heading over to the MOE HQ. I suppose since this is Mr. Ong's first foray into the teaching, he was rather fresh and didn't have much experience. Looking at how his form class 1L disrespected him, im not too surprised if he wasn't able to take it and thus decided to resign. However, he has defnitely been trying very hard to be a good teacher. I still rmb the first day when he walked into our class with an old checkered shirt and a giant shopping bag. Not to mention how he became famous for his "alright"s and "okay"s (at the start, they usually totalled to about 200+ per 40 min lesson.) Since then, he's brushed up on his image and cut down on his "alright"s, but sadly, first impression die hard. But the most disappointing thing about Ms Foo's departure is perhaps that she took one-and-a-half years to rmb who her Geog rep from 2N was, but then she leaves right after that. All the time and effort in improving her memory wasted. Noooooo... And of course most of the 2N peeps, who made the year as fruitful and enjoyable as it was! You guys rock! PS it appears that most of the 2Ners, mostly the nice ones, are opting for the Humanities Programme next year, so it means that most of 2N might be sorted together as a class again! Hope to see you guys again next year! |
