]]> Comment on An Evening With Phua Seng Tiong by Karyn http://blog.wmcas.org/?p=680&cpage=1#comment-141 Karyn Tue, 02 Mar 2010 08:26:02 +0000 http://blog.wmcas.org/?p=680#comment-141 I went 'aiyaks'! Wish I could be in Alor Setar for this session with Phua Seng Tiong. Reading this write-up is not a bad 'second best' option. This makes me almost want to sign up for the nearest teachers' training college! The potential to leave a good, deep and lasting legacy is sky high.....side by side with the potential to leave nothing behind except bad memories... Reading this jogged my own memories of my teachers.... There were many 'BM' teachers, some 'mean' teachers.... (and btw, my classmates and I still recall the 'names' we called them, incidences when they were mean and unjust or simply unproductive) There are also teachers who are remembered in a warm glow. The teacher who took notice of my proficiency in English and bought suitable books for my prize, the teacher who did not scold blindly for not doing better but was genuinely concerned for my lack of 'push' in my studies and gently 'encouraged' by saying she knows I can do better.... The teacher who had a hidden streak of humour and 'April Fooled' us back when we did it to her.... With the passage of years....maybe among those 'BM' teachers were ones who started teaching with passion and a heart for nurturing students...but over the years... the school bureaucracy and slow 'results' among the students... I think......how can I..(we?) encourage young teachers as they start their teaching careers....to go the extra mile for the students...for Christ. I went ‘aiyaks’!

Reading this jogged my own memories of my teachers…. There were many ‘BM’ teachers, some ‘mean’ teachers…. (and btw, my classmates and I still recall the ‘names’ we called them, incidences when they were mean and unjust or simply unproductive)

The Nativity drama that was staged was prepared in less than a week before but nevertheless all the kids did their best and were able to put up a reasonably good act.PTL!Kids will always be kids,they will always be noisy where ever and whatever.It does not matter as long as they have a chance to hear the Gospel proclaimed to them at their tender age. Let us hope that they will have the desire to want to come to our Church School Friday after Friday.We need your prayers and support for the Church School.Thank you and God Bless.
