Something that popped up in my mind
I'm sorry I just realised I had more to blog about. ^^The teachers and staff had their traditional lo hei session today at the home econs room. It was quite chaotic with the different departments carrying out their lo hei concurrently. The interns + relief teachers arrived slightly late so I didn't manage to lo hei with my department because they being very efficient had already finished their session. Anyway, that is not the main focus of this post. The main focus is that I ended up talking to the VP while trying to sneak a bite of some ketupat and satay so with my mouth full he accosted me and Chermaine asking us how our stint had been so far. With my mouth still full of ketupat and gravy, I think I was a sight of gluttony (great way to earn impression points) so I chomped down my food and tried to muster a 'Good' without any clumps of half chewed ketupat flying out of my mouth.
Turns out this VP is really really a high flier. A PSC scholar who went to BeiDa, he came back and rose through the ranks really rapidly. Almost as quickly as how the IR has come up at Sentosa but that's another story. Within 6 years, he reached the position he is at today. I think if I enter teaching, that would be the route I want to take. I'm so glad I spoke with him today because it did help me chart my direction and made me realise that if I want to rise so quickly I have to work doubly or even triply hard in my first few years as a teacher. That VP was offered a place at LSE to study Econs but he turned it down to study in BeiDa o.O
Then another teacher (also a Hwach alumni) was pulled into the conversation while wearing curry lipstick and I do feel quite bad for interrupting him and his curry chicken. Turns out this teacher went to UCL to do his undergrad studies before going to Oxford for his postgrad studies. Why why why do the teachers bear such illustrious resumes?
