its raining, its pouring, the little girl is blogging.

ooh! i rhyme!! lol.

anyway, after 10 days, i finally have time to blog again without worrying about anything anymore, except for EOYs, HE test, catching up with maths and malay, chinese peer teaching, science ecology project, DHSCO's GWH, my cello exam results and mayping's cello exam results.

nice?

anyway, since its TEACHERS' DAY soon, i shall say something about teachers!

: teachers teach. their job is to teach us so we can teach other people too so we know our facts better and so we can pass our knowledge to other people. teachers play a huge role in society as they teach people new stuff.

the world would be nothing without teachers, dont you agree?

how did our minister mentor Lee Kuan Yew, or even our senior minister Goh Chok Tong or current prime minister Lee Hsien Loong become so successful? they went to school and learnt everything he knew there. who taught him? teachers!

how do writers write so well with their profound english and good language that makes them rich with the books they write? they go to school and studied english. who taught them? teachers!

how did adam khoo become so rich and successful? ok, he got his wealth partly from his family, and he was doing badly in school. but he still learnt everything in school, and when he finally started studying hard and made it into the dean's list, who taught him? teachers!

ok, so you might think that you may never become any of those, cos you're just a normal citizen like me, nothing special, living your days as they go by, trying to make the best of what we have now.

but whats the one thing that you and me, the ministers, writers, adam khoo and all the other people in Singapore, or in fact most of the people in the world have, apart from 24hours a day?

education!
and who gives the education that you need?
teachers!

why did you think Singapore decided that education was so important towards building up our nation when she separated from malaysia 41 years ago then?

cos it just is if we want to prosper. thats why we need basic numeracy, literacy and vocational skills where we learn in school, where TEACHERS teach them.

like i said, the world would be nothing without teachers. how would people know how to do so many things that contributes to every little thing in life? they need basic knowledge and skills about the thing or subject first. where do they get them to progress and proceed? TEACHERS!

knowledge dont just fall down from the sky, teachers also learn all their stuff from somebody. who? teachers!
the teachers' teachers also learnt their facts from someone, the teachers' teachers' teachers!

so basically, the current state of the world is formed by us, and we learn how to do those stuff that makes a difference from teachers, and teachers learn their facts from teachers, and the teachers' teachers learn from the teachers' teachers' teachers, and the teachers' teachers' teacher's teachers learn from their teachers' teachers' teachers' teachers' teachers, and so on.

wow.

what would the world be without teachers?

so to conclude the importance of teachers, they teach us every little thing that helps us make a difference in life.

even though you may fail in something that your teacher have taught you, you still learn something from them. you learn to learn from your mistake when you do well again in the next test.

even though your teacher may be a lousy one, teaching you nothing, you still learn something from them. you learn that you should not be like him/her when you grow up, that you should be better and more specific, effective and efficient in passing down information and knowledge to someone else, or at least just not be like him/her, worst still if you do become a teacher too next time.

even though you do not like the teacher and refuse to learn anything from him/her, you still do, or at least you will soon. you'll soon learn that what you're doing is totally wrong and no good for your own being cos you'll be missing out on lots of things and lots of difference that you may be able to make in life if you'd listened. who knows, you might have become a totally different person if you did? but after all, this is also a learning experience, that you learn from your mistake.

so you see, you always learn something from teachers even if you dont want to or dont plan to or dont like to. cos... they are, after all, teachers. they teach.

so after seeing all the benefits that teachers provide us with, and seeing that its TEACHERS' DAY soon, why dont we all just, like mr sng said, let the teachers feel special on the day that belongs to them? they deserve it, after what they do for the world, the society, and for us.

and also, for after what we always do to them in return. yes, i'm talking about not handing up homework, doing a piece of work badly, or making their blood boil all the time.

dont pretend ok, and stop trying to look innocent.

i know what you did. HAHA.

actually, no.

anyway, HAPPY early TEACHERS' DAY! in case i dont get to blog tomorrow, although i know i will. HAHA.
