mr sir
Tuesday, February 28
isn't it so sad :( . after a month or so of mr kenneth lo's (aka mr sir) wonderful lang arts b lessons, he is going to bristol uni to study law. his classes were full of enthusiasm and jokes, especially lots of innuendos. his lessons i might say, were more fun than mr kevin ho's. but the thing about mr sir is, he want to remain unknown and mysterious. he didnt tell us, and still doesnt intend to, his first name and his age. though lots of people have found out that his first name is kenneth, i dont think anybody is really sure about his age, other than a few who think he's 26.
mr sir and mr ho were similar in many ways, such as fun-loving, connectivity with students, can shout to the extreme etc. of course they were different too, as it would have been weird if they were so alike: mr sir's voice is higher than mr ho's, mr sir has nicknames for certain people, mr sir uses innuendos for sick things while mr ho just says it straight out, mr sir listened to music during class sometimes (all the time BEP).
he's one of those type of teachers who you can tell anything, be it personal, your hate for other classmates and even a friendly chat. i really like those kind of teachers. mrs jeya.'s one of those kinda teachers too.
he frequently told us that we were his one of his favourite classes, initially cos of ryan, then slowly took a liking to all the other different personalities in the class.
today he strode into the class and started lessons as pernormal, as if nothing had happened. he said that we could relax a bit during the class as he had completed all he needed to for the term. we then played his favourite song, "my humps", for him on the tablet pc. it was almost like a perfect farewell class, though we were not aware of it being his last lesson. then halfway through the class-teacher chitchat, an indian man walked through the door of our class. we were wondering, well at least I was, who he was and whether he was the mr punraj we had heard about previously. then he asked mr sir, "have you told them yet?" or something similar to that and mr sir moved aside and let the other man take center stage. he introduced himself as mr sithu, our new english teacher! the news came to us like a bombshell. he then said he was the son of mr punraj, and the school had taken his father's name as his family name instead of the proper one. he said, "i think mr lo should have told you about his future plans," and mr sir shook his head vigourously. "i think he'll tell you later then." so he gave so intro about himself and also answered a few of our questions. well i cant deny that he is friendly, but he just didnt seem as fun as mr sir was.
so after all that, mr sir told us about him going to bristol to study law and said he had a very fun time teaching our class, that our class has the most interesting combination of personalities, such as the 'baboonish' ways of eugene, 'sailor moon', the (is his words) ever so quiet clement, the 'you do not see anything' soprano, the sweetest guy in class (whom he forgot his name, adriel), the *does hand actions* ian, the ungrateful wretch kenneth, the very vainy vain veiny ryan the sheep, the 'ahhhhhhhh' gerbil boy, the dainty cleopetra a.k.a. sir door warden, pork chops and the prefect wannabe, 'davin'. i find his evaluations very interesting and yet at the same time suitable and funny.
well the days without him will be much less interesting, though we can still talk to him on MSN. sad really, that he chose our year to leave us. i would have liked a full year under his teaching. how i wish he were still here...
P.S. I found out from a person in 1.9 that mr sir said i'm one the students he enjoys teaching best!!! how interesting! and just last friday he said he would nominate me for prefect!
AMEN;
