I'm back in a restricted government school after I've left it gladly a year over ago. And I wasn't dragging my feet this time round. coz....

I'M THE TEACHER NOW!

The girls call me Miss Tan, greet me in the corridor and say prayers for me! That makes me definite teacher now! We had a short prayer in the morning, one after recess and one to end the day. And I dont say the conventional "Goodbye class". We say "God bless, girls!" And they bless us back. Convent school. So girl for me.

Most importantly, I ate my 50cents fishball noodles, drank my 40cent iced milo, snacked on 50cent 3piece nuggets. Not to mention I spent most part of the school day messaging Huda, Jes, Shaf, Teresa & Howie comparing the canteen food. Poor Howie has a 1 dollar peach tea, Teresa got to leave for home early and the poorest of us all, Huda has got to sit in a storeroom AND on top of that! Her school experienced black out TWICE. Sucker school.

In any case, I'm glad for my school. Perhaps coz its a girls' school, they find it easier to accept new faces into their midst. By the end of the lessons, my identity, my school, my house, my hobbies, my msn address, my friendster account has all be probed. By the end of the first observation, I received a candy made in inn-dee-iaa. By the end of the day, the girls decided I should have a christian name coz "Miss Tan, frankly, you look like you have christian name."

And they came up with Lorraine, Desiree, Claire and Geneve. Couldnt quite decide which suits me best so they hosted a vote! Of all the things I expect on my first day, a vote for a name for me definitely wasnt in my expectations. They are still torn amongst themselves regarding the issue still. If you'd like to place a vote, please do so then. I swear to be discreet.

But for some reason(!), baby thought that the girls called me overtin and he wants to be holick.... I am damn confused by him too...he is pretty random like that sometimes....

My random baby who drives me to work in the mornings!

I love being a teacher, being in school and being my baby's baby!And the tuckshop!!!
