Teacher's Day

Today is the school-level Teacher's Day celebration after more than 1 month, so the mood to celebrate this once-a-memorial day is gone.

As usual, there is an assembly with usual song of Kami Guru Malaysia being sung by some teachers (others like me just stood and listen)

Then there is the playing with students session (which I do not know what is the aim as there is nothing fun about it, I mean what is the fun for the students to play with some old uncles or aunties who in the first place cannot play any games at all). It would be interesting if there is an online gaming session where games like Hay Day or Farm Heroes can be played among the teachers and students.

After that, with the aching bodies, we teachers are asked to sit in the oven-hot hall listening to some old uncles and aunties belting the once-popular lulabies that will surely trigger the our memories of our mums singing us to sleep.

The reward for all this, a piece of cold spicy Malay-styled chicken wing or drumstick, some overcooked cabbage and a cup of too-sweet drink (sponsored by the PTA or some old boys association)..
This is the tradition for Jit Sin Teacher's Day.. and do you think I look forward to this every year?????

And with the pre-GST economy, we only get some heartshaped papers wishing us teachers to be candles who burnt oneself.. do you think nowaday, candles still valid.. I think LED is more popular..
