Teacher's Day 2011

My school has celebrated the 2011 teacher's day..
as usual.. i received a lot of cards.. homemade muffins.. cookies... flowers.. and all sort of presents...
Just wanna say thank you.. to all of you.. i know you all are watching and reading my blog.. though and i can't really add you people here.. :)
thanks for loving me as your teacher...
as i always believe.. if a person can only teach academic stuff .. he/she can only be considered as a TUTOR..
A teacher should not only teach academic stuff.. but good values. . and to love... to educate..and to guide the students...

presents from my students.. TQ so much!!! :)

all the love letters from my students.. :)

Despite of being called by someone SELFISH BITCH...saying i bad mouth him..  i still continue to move on...coz i'm just sharing my stories..hmm.. thinking of writing a book some more whr i can publish his emails and SMSes or something.. :)
I forgive him.. well, almost everytime... maybe simply becoz i've seen thru him too much.. and when he scolded me.. i just remained quite calm.. surprisingly.. i didnt cry like i used to be.. maybe becoz.. i;ve cried too much for him... since 1999..well, it's really a long long time.. tht's how much i loved him...:)

to all my beloved friends... don't worry about me... i'm really peaceful and stronger than before.. my life is getting better and better.. love it so much!! i'm going to live my life like it's going to end tomorrow... i have said whatever i have to ...to everyone..

A letter from ME to my beloved Class….International School YEAR 8B

Dear my beloved Y8B children:

How are you, my children? It has been nearly 3 months since the school reopened … how do you find your life here? Can you cope with your tasks given by the teachers?? Do you make your teachers happy recently? Have you made your teachers smile? How about your relationship with other classmates this year??  Have you being polite to your teachers, the staff and your friends lately? And what do you think about your new form teacher? (that’s me of course).

As for me.. I would love to say “ NICE TO MEET YOU, young men and young ladies..”

Well, being your “MOTHER” of this class… it’s not an easy task… from the moment I knew I’m going to be your “MOTHER” … I was doubt about my own capability .. As you know, my children, you all are the most FAMOUS class in the school.. but I told myself.. do not label you people in that way..i don’t want to jump into conclusion so fast. I believe there must be something good about this class.. and something GOOD in everyone of you…. EVEN UP TO TODAY… I’m still holding on to this belief. .. .

So, I have given each one of you a brand new paper… for you to paint on it.. instead of looking back on the old pictures that you have painted last year..  I will try my BEST to show you all the beautiful colours that you can paint on.. but the brush is in your hand.. you are the one who will decide and paint the colours at the end… So, ask yourself…what kind of colours you prefer??? Rainbow colours ?? which will bring lots of joys and beautiful moments..or grey, black and white?? Which will bring sadness, sorrow, anger, and regrets??? Think about it, okay?


what are the colours you would love to paint on ??   

As a Mother of 28 children, my burden is heavy …. I have to EDUCATE you, to GUIDE you , to SHOW you the right ways when you are lost, to TEACH you on things that you don’t know, to HELP you differentiate right from wrong, to PULL you up when you are down, to LISTEN to your problems, to HELP you to grow , to TEACH you to be responsible to the action that you’ve made… to teach you how to APPRECIATE your friends, family, teachers and the people around you… and above all.. I’m here TO LOVE YOU, my children…



seeing you people work together makes me proud.. :)

Within these 3 months… I’ve been able to observe you, you all are so unique in many ways.. you all are wonderful, cheerful, fun, helpful, kind , teachable,  naïve and adorable…   but you have some weaknesses too… NAUGHTY sometimes, TALKATIVE… some of you are LAZY.. late in hand in homework, like to WALK AROUND during certain teachers’ class…like to pick fight with classmates.. bullying your classmates…   and the worst is .. I have a THEFT among my children!!!!  This is really unbelievable!!! … WHY?? My dear child??? WHY YOU WANTED TO STEAL????

 By doing so, you are not just bringing shame to yourself.. but your parents as well, you are hurting your friend.. and you have disappointed ALL THE TEACHERS that have taught you before since you were young…  I’m disappointed too.. so sad to say that… I really hope this won’t happen anymore.. Let it be the first and the last stealing case in this class. I really hope you would come to me and apologise.. i will respect the person who dares to admit his/ her mistake and bears the consequence of his/her own action.. Make me respect you and love you more..

My children, I embraced all of you , but I do hope that you all will try your best to improve on your weaknesses…  remember that!!!



as long as we hold on to each other... we can make a difference.. :)



I'm here with you.... to guide you all through..
let's make Y8B a better class..

…… DO NOT forget our target for this year.. let’s improve our class image.. I hope to see some changes in you.. I’m here for you.. I’m with you all the time.. I’m not giving you up yet…. So MY CHILDREN…PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP … let’s do this together..

FOR ME, FOR YOURSELF, FOR YOUR FRIENDS…AND FOR YEAR 8B 2011  !!!!!! 

LOVE,

Ms. Tan Siu Mei

My Prayers for JAPAN and the world...

I remembered few months back, i've attented a prayer ceremony for the world and entire human race..organised by Tzu Chi Buddhism Society.. i  prayed  for world peace.. less disasters.. health to all my friends, family and all the people around the world..
sometimes, i doubted.. has God heard my prayers?? or i've prayed not enough.. or God ..the all mighty.. has his own plan??
the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami have taken away more than 10 000 lives... and the Nuke plant blast...forces another few more thousand people to evacuate .....  God , you are watching us.. i know you are... we are not arrogant people..not all...   if in Christianity.. we are your sons and daughters..and YOU are our father.. guide us pls...
OR.. this is a sign to let us know tht.. U r upset by some selfish acts from human??

though i'm a not christian.. but i strongly believe there is someone powerful tht created the world..tht is YOU.

allow me to say my prayers again..and again.. for the world , for the people.. and for JAPAN

My prayer for the world.....
