Chance Meeting

I was in Jusco this afternoon for super filling meal of Zinger + Wedges + Chickens + Coleslow + Pepsi. After the perfect meal, I was walking towards the supermarket when I noticed 2 ladies near a bench scourging for items in their shopping trolley. One of them looked very very familiar to me... It was Ms Choong! The other lady was Mrs Chin, who taught me geography in '97!

Huah recognises them immediately too. We eagerly greeted both of them. They were surprised to see us, just like we did too. Then we blah blah blah for some time. Ms Choong have really good memory power. She remembered huah's name in full, and also my surname. I was like wow when she asked, 'You're...... Koong?' Wah... Speaking of remembering a student's name 6-7years after his graduation... WAH!

I still remember the time when I was in class getting lessons from both of these ladies. Mrs Chin, no offense, taught boring geography (I wasn't interested in geography, and her soft voice sounded like lullaby everytime I attended her class) Ms Choong however, left more than superficial inpression compared to Mrs Chin, during my schooling days. She taught me English in form 2. I can still recall the article from Reader's Digest that we spent weeks on. It was centered on a pet parrot-family-bird, Charlie who had its wings clipped and shackled onto a perch. Well I can certainly remember the song that we performed onstage for the English week, and the lashing we got for 'performing well in Ms Choong's classes but behaving like monkeys in other classes.' She didn't like our double standards hahar!


Before we left, huah's mum told Ms Choong something very funny. VERY farny indeed. 'I always remember you for your good deeds, and the other one for her bad deeds.' ROFL! I couldn't stop laughing right in front of my ex-teachers. Huah's mum really got her point right!
