I took the chance when I was free to walk down my memory lane once more. And I have decided to write down the class I have attended during this journey. I think my memory is failing me. A lot of teachers I suddenly forgotten... Pardon Me!
Class 1/2 | Class 2/2
Form / English / Maths Teacher: Mrs Tan Chin Ai

This class was still quite memorable. I remember I had a classmate who kept stealing my eraser. (I still remember his name, but I shall not disclose his name. But I can tell you, he is now a regular Calefare in Mediacorp dramas.)
And I also remember I was once a favorite student in Chinese class. But I lost the favoritism when I was tasked to guide my slow classmate in a homework. (Again, I remember his name, but I shan disclose.) It was a simple comprehension. The passage was written something like "I go to school every day by bus", and the question asked, "How does the author go to school every day?" And he could not answer. I pointed out to him the sentence explicitly, but he still could not answer. So I could only tell him to copy down the sentence that answers the question. However, my patience was only until Question 3, and I ran out it. So I told him angrily to copy down the questions instead of pointing out the correct answers. And so, I got scolded by the teacher. And I think I ended my mischief ever since then.

This is supposed to be the best class among the Primary Three classes. (Because almost all of the students in this class made it the 4/2, 5/2 and then 6/2, which the well-known best class after streaming.) My results fell during this year, and the cause was because of a Nintendo Game Boy. But I was quite glad that I did not went up to the same class as most of them. I could sense that I was not so welcome in the class...
But I like my Form Teacher, my second favorite teacher in Primary School. She was a strict but nice teacher. I remember during end of the year, she even rewarded me with a nice file, and I think I received a cactus as well. I was really moved and even though I did not make it the the best class in P4, I still did make it to a good class in P6 in the end. I wonder how is she doing now.
Class 4/4
Form / English / Maths / Science Teacher: Mrs Praba
Mother Tongue Teacher: 林老師
Arts Teacher: Forgot...

PE Teacher: Mr Chin? Can't remember when was he my PE teacher.
And so I was "demoted" to this class. I am not saying this class is not good, I still made good friends in this class, and had my first experience to get a closer relationship with girls. I was like kinda stuck in the middle in between two girls. And the irony was, those two girls were best friends in the class, and sometimes they fought on and off, was because of... Ok, I am not boasting anything, but this story was definitely clear in my mind and I am not fabricating anything!

Mother Tongue Teacher: 鄭老師 Mrs Boey
Maths / Science Teacher: Mrs Lim Siang Yong
Music Teacher: ...Ms Cross? (In fact, I think for Music Teacher, is always has been Ms Cross, and there was a year was a older teacher, but I could not remember the name...)
This class was also quite a noisy one... And I remember I started to have a gang in this class, and of course is not those rebellious gang, but a gang to hangout with. And I remember we hated one teacher so much because half of the class failed this subject terribly. And I remember I started to lose interest in English because of another teacher and her accent...

Class 6/6
Form Teacher / Art / Maths / English / PE: Mr Jason Fok
Mother Tongue Teacher: 張老師 Mr Teo Hock Chye
Science Teacher: Mrs Lim Siang Yong
Music Teacher: ...Ms Cross?
The most memorable class in my Primary School era. The most favorite teacher I could ever remember. Mr Jason Fok. He brought many laughter to our class, and the most fearsome teacher. That was still in the period when discipline measures were still allowed to be strict in MOE. We all were fully aware that Mr Fok were really concerned about each and every one of us. So we all respect him as our teacher. I think without him, my English will not be able to get B.
In fact, a few years ago, because of Facebook, we managed to get in touch with each other decided to have a gathering. But due to last minute changes, the meeting was cancelled because Mr Fok got something on last minute. But I heard one of them who did not followed the news, appeared instead and she got to meet Mr Fok, who also got his last minute appointment cancelled last minute...
Really wonder how was everybody I knew in GPS doing now...
