EOY message for P6-3 (2008) Part I: Sorry ...

Hi again.

Firstly I just want to say I didn't want the year to end this way. For me, I was expecting to see the class through the projects, give some more prep talks about relationships and secondary life during the last two weeks but this dengue fever thingy (not confirmed though) has forced me to rule myself out for the last 7 days or so.

So here's what I want to say, in fact I managed to share part of it today in school. I wasn't really expecting to get the chance.

Firstly I want to say sorry to everybody. I wasn't really there to facilitate you kids in your project. I'm aware some of you have put in much effort while the rest of us ... erm ... no need to say. In short, I should be there.
Another sorry for the things I've said, especially when some of us are still having persistent problem in handing in assignments and not paying attention in class. It may sound unpleasant at times but it was necessary. One can't improve if there's no practise and sometimes, (though not all the time), there are some important learning points which you really need to hear and then practise.
Final sorry for not being there during the Graduation Party. I hope you all like the PPT... it was quite a piece of last minute work and if I had started earlier, I would have make it more presentable. I know I missed the performances (by the gals especially), the chance to celebrate with all of you and to make my presence felt, especially when the other Form Teachers were all present. Sorry for making all of you felt like 'teacher-less'.
There's a reason for all these (an excuse actually). The fever started last Thursday and on Monday, I have been diagnosed that I may have dengue fever. On Wednesday, I had another blood-test and afterwards the doctor felt that I would need another one on Saturday. As such I was given more sick leave and at the meantime, I've been advised to stay away from crowded places. Perhaps that explains why you kids didn't see me most of the time; I stayed in my office most of the time.
