BONDED AND REUNITED

I had my colleagues over for lunch after school last Monday... not all 100 odd of them but just the beginning teachers. The good 5 of us, sadly without Lena who was on MC due to the flu bug.

I'm happy they accepted my invitation. Mak cooked a whole spread of great food for them.

THANKS MAK!
For that sumptous meal and for entertaining the stream of pupils who came. I want to be a great cook like you too!

(eerr but I know I seldom step into the kitchen esp during the weekdays)

Hope you guys had a good feast too! And I would love to have you guys again at my house anytime! Ya, James has already promised my mum to come again for her fried chicken wings.

And once my colleagues left, my house received more visitors non-stop.

I had more visitors than any of my other family members.....

They came in all colourful outfits, looking all smart in their kain sampings and pretty with their handbags and accessories. They look different in their baju kurungs. All dressed up with make ups.

I will always welcome any pupil who wants to make a stop over at my house during their jalan raya with friends. However, the Fuchun pupils will have to do the extra homework in order to reach my house. I only gave my address and hp no to 1 pupil. Whoever wants to come will have to search for that particular pupil who has it.

Here are the snapshots of the current Fuchun and Pandan Mendaki pupils.

I'm more touched with the arrival of many of my ex-pupils. They have transformed; they have grown much taller, their voices have changed, they have grown from those playful little girls and boys into more serious teenagers.

It's nice to see them again after so long. Although it may take me a while to match the faces to the names over the phone, it will all be clear once they step into my house. Some came in taxis from as far as Teban and Jurong, some were pupils whom I taught 3 years back.

Ex-pupils from Chongfu and Mendaki pupils.

My envelopes are thinning. My gold coins are depleting. My lollipops are still in abundance. I think I will need to change more notes.......
