The Student's Wedding

must document this in my blog because i have the honour to be invited to a student's wedding. and it is the first ever student wedding that i had attended. this shows that i am in the teaching line long enough. 

i was sin ling's pe teacher in 2008 for 6 months, when i was still a contract teacher at the previous workplace. i remembered that she is a well behaved student and she dont really like pe hahahahaha. 

one or two years back we found each other on instagram and we followed each other, leave comments on each other's posts, and a few months back, she invited me to her wedding! to be honest i was really quite surprised. 

but still, i am very happy for her! congrats sin ling! i got a shock that she has been in a relationship with her husband since she was sec 3 (OMG!!!). and her husband's hairstyle at that time was... OMG. machiam like those japanese anime characters where the hair is more than the face. (think uchiha sasuke if you watch naruto)

i need to give special mention to this student, sock kuan. her parents open a famous wanton mee stall at tampines round market as well as another one at the coffee shop opposite my previous workplace. sometimes when i go to the coffee shop for lunch i do see her hanging around at the coffee shop. anyway must specially mention her because she is the only student who dun find it awkward calling me by my name (she calls me YY zzzzzzzz). but she is not a rude girl lah. hahahahaha. and very happy to catch up with mr kenny tan and mdm lim. mr kenny tan taught at my previous workplace for 5 years and left the education service in 2010. now he is a lecturer at temasek poly. he is one of the most passionate liverpool fans i had ever seen. and he is one of the most hardcore drinkers. he told me when he was a baby and he kept crying and his parents do not know how to stop him from crying so his mum got desperate and tried putting vodkha in his milk and he always sleep peacefully after that and that is probably why he can hold his liquor so well. 

happy to see some of the students again and catching up with them! :) 

anyway when i was leaving the hotel i took out the cashcard because i have a complimentary parking coupon. and when i drove out the hotel i forgot to put the cashcard back in and to my sheer unluckiness i drove past an ERP gantry. @#$%^&*

and a few days back i receive a letter from LTA saying that i drove past an ERP gantry without a cashcard. the charge was one dollar. so besides paying the one dollar, i have to pay another 8 dollars as admin fee. so i have to pay 9 dollars. seriously man. i really got the urge to scold all the vulgarities and profanities that i have stopped scolding since i became a teacher, but nvm, i shall keep my cool.

i thought of appealing then when i went to the website, the website say that majority of the appeals do not go through, and if i am penalised solely because of a lapse in the ERP system, then the appeal will be successful. true lah it was my mistake for not putting back the cashcard so i obediently paid the 9 dollars and still scold the vulgarities in my heart.
