What is the happiest thing after a hard day of work?

To me it's non other than seeing the happy face on the students.

Was doing the Sentosa mega race today, was suppose to have a partner with me at my station. However, due to some discrepancy in admin side, I end up handling the 40 students from Yishun Sec and the station all by myself. What makes the situation worse was that the bus uncle who was suppose to ferry my school is so attitude la. When I ask for a mic from him so that I could talk to the students in the bus, he was like so reluctant to reply me. Guess he must have misjudge my ability base on my petite frame and thinks that he could put some air on me, anyway I can't be bother with him too. Sometime I really felt lucky that, I was born with a naturally loud voice especially after I took up this job. So I simply raise my voice a little and this was good enough to deliver all the important information to the students on the bus. I must say the students are definately a great bunch, they really cooperate with me while I was talking. They also help me carry all the sutffs to the station, it's really very nice of them.

Sadly my station is located at the giant compass at Sentosa whic is situated right infront of the Merlion. There was no shade and the sun was shinning so strongly today. There is no way I could hide from the sun, but thanks to the cap that Ken has lent to me, it's really helps alot.

My day at the station was quite bad, and there are simply too many things that screwed up. After the race ended, I had to rush all the way up to join Ken and Charlette to rush back to the ferry terminal.

It was definately a very tiring day! However, it was the feedback from my students which make me feel that, all the tiring stuffs and all the screwed up thing that I have gone through is all worth it. Although only two groups from my school got into the Top 20 and won the trophy, but the entire bunch of 40 students who represented their school was so grateful to me and was telling me "thank you", "I will miss you", "teacher we love you so much" and showing me appreciation through all their smily faces. I got some very interesting feedback from the students today, one of the question in the feedback form goes something like this:
Which station do you enjoy the most?
And the interesting answer I got was:
"The compass station, because the instructor very cute."
Undeniable that I do felt quite flatter and happy, haha. But seriously this group of students are really very nice and cute. They really make me change my views on taking secondary school of today.

I never had the practice of going up the bus after every trail to say good bye to the students, however, today was an exceptional. I actually request from the teacher to go up the bus to say thank you and bid farewell to the students.

***Yishun Secondary you guys rockz~!***
