It really has been quite a while! I've been most unhappy lately. I feel that I'm not appreciated by my school, I'm not appreciated by my Principal and HOD, I'm not appreciated by my students, I'm not appreciated by their parents, I'm not appreciated by my parents.

It always begs me to wonder, why am I doing all this? I have devoted a good portion of my life to the school, and to my students. My own form class students who took the A Levels in 2001 -- they were the best class of their subject combination in the end. But they were the worst of their combination throughout their career in the College! Where are they now? 2 DSTA Overseas scholars, 1 NUS Undergraduate Scholar, 3 SIA-NOL Undergraduate Scholars, 1 ASEAN Undergraduate Scholar, 1 LMS (Teaching) Scholar. And from my other classes? That's another 8 names in the College Day Handbook to make a total of 16. And my robotics students are mostly good in their studies. My care and concern for my students is unparallelled, and I train them like I would myself. My committment to my job is high.

I have never let the College down -- but the College has let me down more than once.
