NEVER MAKE DEALS WITH YOUR PUPILS
PLAYDAY V2.08
I can still recall much of last year's Playday and this year I surely had more fun. I was in charge of 5C's floorball team and I was cheering my lungs out for them; they are my Science students afterall and what more my handsome boy was the captain of the team! ;p
Raihan, can guess which one is my handsome boy?
Anyway I was already in semi-holiday mood since after school on Thursday, knowing that today there would be no teaching taking place. I was in high spirits and my 5C floorball team wasn't a letdown. Every match they played was adrenaline rushing and they really played their best. They scored their winning goals in every match and got into the finals. I knew they really wanted the top place. Second wasn't good enough.
Against a very tough opponent, 5C fought against 5G. Every goal and every second of the game- crucial. And I was cheering on for them with sweaty palms cos I was also wishing and hoping that they would win. At the final whistle, the score was 3-2. 5C LOST... and I could see the that sulk of disappoinment on everyone's face. And I was trying hard to cheer them up and giving a mini lecture on sportsmanship but the earlier smiles still couldn't be seen.
However in a twist of fate, 5C was annouced as champions for the floorball match. We were all taken by surprise. Yeah despite the losing the last match, we still had the highest number of points!! Nyehahah!
Yes it was their victory and I had to pay the price....... this teacher of theirs had to keep to her promise. You see, earlier on, when we took the group photo(see above), Mdm Amelia Chua suggested that I pose lying down in front of them and I refused. So I made a deal with the kids that I will only do so if they emerged champions. They kept reminding me of the promise after every winning match and I thought I was finally let off the rope after they lost the finaly match but it wasn't meant to be.
So being a (wo)man of my words, I just had to do what I was suppose to do...though I look like a lost fat mermaid there.
It was definitely THEIR day.
