Yesterday morning 10am. Zixian,ailing,angelina,lip tong, chuantian and jianheng, and of course myself went back to NASS to visit some of our teachers. The night before i sms Mrs Sim about our visit and she told us her lesson will end at 1040am while the following lesson after that would be at 1140. Thus i guess we could catch hold of her during that time lapse.
We walked around, chatted with the auntie at the photostating shop, who could actually named my name and recognise Jianheng. I also noticed that the PE t-shirt had been changed to another colour, some white shirt with dark blue prints on the sleeve i think.
We met mrs sim on our way to the classroom block and she told us to meet her at the library to talk. In addition to that, we also bounce into Mdm lee (the back- look -qio- but- front- like- GUI teacher). Not only that, i was so happy to still see mrs pong around, and she could only remember my "xian". Alright, i think it's good enough. Miss Gan, that easily being eaten up teacher, was in the lab teaching some students too.
We had a great chat with mrs sim inside the computer room inside the library. She updated us with aplenty stuff of the school and the environment, and how the sch was furious about what Maia lee had mentioned in the papers about NASS. THat the school was boring and stifling, with nothing for motivation.
We then headed for MRs teh. That was when the nightmare came as fast as the lightning could hit you. That 2 monsters who stood infront of the General office, ever ready to snap at us once we reached that exact point marked by them. Mr ong the OM, as well as the Mr Sim.
Mr ong, in his adamant tone, questioned our presence in the school, and was offended by Zixian's rudeness of saying "Why cannot?".
First of all, mr ong told us he could jolly chase us out if he wanted to (playing good guy), and that we have no right to walk about in the school creating disturbances to the students. The latter point, though i agree to some extent, i do not think that we had intruded the school to disturb the students. We were in fact "roaming" about during the intervals between lessons and not during lessons.
ALright, there is this guard house thingy at the entrance of the school. I represented the rest of my frens to signed in for one visitor pass. Now, the whole idea of having that control point is to issue visitor pass to valid visitors is being defeated since our presence was being questioned so adamantly. So wats with the visitor pass? Fashion statement? Oh pls.
NOw u might have sensed some angst in me while i am typing this. The reason is simple, Mr ong not only stopped at juz that. He went on to ask us where exactly we were heading off at that point in time. We told him that we are going to the canteen for lunch. He replied with a strong sense of aloofness, "who give u the permission to go to the canteen and have lunch?"
At the end of the affrontation, our high spirits were seriously dampened and whatever memories we were holding on to were like suddenly put on hold. Nobody wanted to say anyting except for Zixian.
Of course, we were unhappy with mr ong's attitude. Very. Yet for me, i can't be bothered, coz i came here to see mrs sim, and perhaps mrs teh. From the looks of it, the school is not welcoming us back, and i think the guard house should be torn down.
Zixian wanted to write a letter to moe, which most of the rest had agreed upon. Well...i am lamenting how the school had now become in such status quo, a breeding ground for brutes who had no sense of courtesy, no sense of discipline, as well as no sense of regard for any teachers.
Hai..all the best then..
