Treat!
Yay finally the treat as promised by dave and francis! ought to have been on our last day at rj but the 2 of them left so early christine and i couldn't give them their car signs personally! >__< and then dave went to US for hols, and christine had obs last wk, so we only had the treat yesterday! :) food at "food street" of esplanade and dessert at california bistro are so-so yet so ex! they are really generous ppl heh!
hanyan, christine, mingjing and i at california bistro; with dave; with francis, at marina's pool tables (fyi, we all started taking fotos there den the PA system went "table 28, pls refrain from taking photographs" damn
hilarious!!!!) ; die from "sarah's casino"! really!
These 2 phy teachers are so different in character. Dave is damn CRAPPY and corny, so atypical of a teacher! like yesterday, he claimed he didn't get anything from US for me and christine cuz things are damn ex there, so me and christine suaned him innocuously "how could you... you bought sth for everyone in the phy department? aren't we part of the department too? -hurt-" then during the meal, he suddenly took out 2 dice and said "ay, we play a game la. who lose shall pay for the meal" and we just ignored his usual pi4 hua4.. yet he shove one die each into christine's and my hand and said "play leh!" and i was in disbelief when i saw the words "sarah's casino" on the die!! "HUH?????" haiyo. trust him to give us our presents THIS way. this is dave.
Francis, on the other hand, is such a nice guy who seems to have no temper and is always helpful and gentlemanly. and he always kindly gave christine and i lifts to novena station on his way home, saving us from the dreary walks to bishan station! and it's not exactly "on the way" for him either lor! i always can't help but associate him with a "kind Christian" image ever since he mentioned he was a christian! haha...
Rather embarrassing to say this now, but i used to have an impression that
some (i emphasize
some) teachers out there (i dun mean rj!) probably only chose to be teachers because they can't find other jobs, and the pay is good. but, looking at both of them, both have an engineering degree: one of them chose to teach only after he was sure he had the confidence; the other forgo a higher-paying engineer job for teaching. so I have to say, the 2 of them kind of changed my impression of new teachers in general. :)
