After reading an entry by someone, I'm starting to feel nostalgic. =( I miss gep, I miss the big family we had there. Even though there are the few irritating ones, but the rest of them are... Indescribable. I miss how we could run in and out of each others' classrooms to look for people, or how we knew everyone in gep, even though we weren't really that close. I miss spontaneous discussions or conversations across the classroom that people could just partake in halfway. I miss the teachers, like mrs lim and her habits of mind, the birthday songs we sang for her even though it wasn't even her birthday, how suanne could just start singing the spongde to tituebob theme song and everyone would join in. I miss kuo and his life principles, his attitude and how he cares for his students in a way that's uniquely his. Even though he doesn't show it, he does care and is very protective of us? I dunno, he's a good teacher too. =) I miss lin laoshi, how she would finish kes really really quickly, then train us to write zuo wens and ying yong wens in less than an hour. How she would let us eat sweets in class, read jimmy books, give us jimmy books, treat us to sweets/chocolates and her funny stories! And philosophies too, like how we shang xue jiu shi wei le fang xue etc. I miss mrs ng, the way she taught, the way she inspired and even the way she marked. The way she trained us for history while maintaining our interest, and how everytime when we were down, she'd tell us about her experiences or just inspire us to do more, or work harder. I miss mrs kuan and even mr tan, although my physics still sucks, but they're all great teachers, not that the teachers now aren't good. We're just not that close to them. And the people! I miss alice and boon pin and loads of people that made life in ny nice =) I miss having people sit around at a table during recess to talk about rubbish, crap, study or just eat for the sake of eating. I miss being in an environment where I'm comfortable letting everyone know about my insecurities, my likes, dislikes and what I feel about things. I don't fear that I will be ostracised or looked at funny or give people the wrong impression when I do things. I just feel comfortable there, and I've been pulled out of my comfort zone. =( 6 weeks is too short a period of time compared to 4 years, and it's unfair to compare, but it's human nature? Bleh. I miss being in the big gep family... Miss you lots...
