Mr. Tan Retirement Party

-
yesterday, 281207, was Mr. Tan retirement party.
okay he was our Design & Technology (D&T) teacher.
though he didnt teach my side of the class, he was always there whenver you need him.
for advise on materials and machines. or just to talk crap.
okaay actually he kinda talk loooong to someone whenever he/she made a mistake.
kinda a nag type thing. but he is funny.
most of the times, he knocked a hammer (okay no, its actually a mallet) down on the table and asked everybody in the workshop to gather round.
and then he will shout.. "WHO TAKE MY KEY?!?!"
well sometimes the key is actually just dangling by his belt.
L O L.
that is Mr. Tan.
-
for me & my friends, sometimes we do make him panic. kinda joke.
theres once he asked us to get him food.
he gave us a 10 dollar bill, we left.
we came back without one of our friend (who was given the money & responsibility in buying him his food).
and the rest of us told Mr. Tan that the fella had run away with his money.
its just a simple stupid joke laa.
he then give the shocked face & responded.
"ahh? thats my only 10 dollar?
and he continued giving the shocked face.
lol. we are like damn basket ahh.
then the 'missing' fella came back with the food & his change.
HAHA.
-
okok. so yesterday me, Ridhwan, Shamir & Fa'iz rendezvoused at Mr. Prata.
an indian coffeeshop near our school. secondary school. previous school. dunman. haha.
when i came, the rest were there already. drinking. i mean not alcohol laa. normal drinks.
i came. just stone there. all stoned.
then finally one call made a difference.
a call made from Hari. waa long time never see that fella.
everyone was surprised that he was coming for the party too.
he met up with us and we chit chat abit before leaving for the party.
we reached school and theres quite a number of people there already.
alumnis, teachers, current students. blabla.
-
all was waiting for the arrival of Mr. Tan.
met Ms. Kwek first. a couple of old friends. yepp.
when Mr. Tan arrived in a car, everybody filed up to the sides to create a path for him to walk.
principal, vice-principal, teachers, students.. everyone just applauded.
Mr. Tan was seen smiling. surprised by the no. of people who came to his retirement party.
he spotted Hari. his 'favourite' student who went to play volleyball with his key. haha.
and so Hari shook hand with Mr. Tan.
-
we then proceed to Design Nexus. a place where artefacts are displayed, ideas & projects sprawled all over the walls. some wise words here & there.
its kind of a cosy place. during our graduating year, we spent most of our time there doing our folios.
yepp. memories.
but for that particular day, the place and the area around it are decorated for Mr. Tan.
candle lights lit up the darkness. but of cos certain lamps are switched on.
we were ushered to seat down cos theres gonna be some talk before dinner begins.
me & the usual peeps sat out in the open while the rest sat indoors.
declined to sit indoors.
"we outdoor ah! :)"
the talk begun. blabla...
just when the talk finish, dinner started. rain starts to pelt down.
we took back our 'outdoor' description and bugged in to get the food.
a buffet. great food laa. seriously better than at our prom. sheesh.
we took our food and settled them in the Nexus.
more of our friends then came.
but theres still a disappointing number who didnt turn up.
well they sure have something up.
-
we ate finish and snap some pictures of ourselves.
after dinner, a few more speeches abt Mr. Tan.
then the man himself deliver a speech too.
kinda sad we aint gona see him again in dunman.
yeahh.. he is one hell of a great teacher.
we took some pictures with him before bading farewell.
and with much food left, ta pao-ing (i duno how to spell correctly) is highly recommended.
LOL.
but before we went off, we drop by the construction site in our school.
we feel like doing something stupid.
we decided to go on top the excavator & take a picture.
but we had difficulty trying to get a good pic.
cos who is going to take the photo for us.
anyway we dunno how deep is the trouble if we are going to get caught.
just when we were trying with the camera, the sch janitor walked pass infront of us.
he didnt notice us.
we decided to hide.
Hari hushed us. "shh shh". and then he kicked a metal rod. *clank*
Hari u're damn good. haha.
anyway we didnt get into trouble.
Shamir & Ridhwan got the uncle to help us snap a picture or two.
yepp. we managed to get the pictures. thanks to the uncle.
-
then walking to the gate, we decided to climb the school field fence.
all tried. okaay its damn pain for the fingers.
bloody hell ahh. if not can take picture again. haha.
so we left for home.
hmm guess thats all.
