Good advice, for moi.

Hmm.

Today is Teachers' Day for my almer mater and I've decided to go visit my old school teachers with my good ol' pal Alvin. We arrived at school to realise that a live band had just finished their performance (I always arrive too late for these things, and i can only hear the credits and appreciations to sponsors etc. sigh.), and I immediately met up with my old math teacher. After exchanging handshakes and pleasantries, Alvin and I moved on. A couple of moments later, I met up with my former Social Studies teacher (whose subject I flunked during the whole two years i took it, but managed to squeeze out a reasonable grade at the final exam), and this is what he said to me:

'Wow, you still look the same,' everyone always says that, so no surprises here.

'Yeah, you too,'

'So are you still the same person as during your secondary school years or are you different now?'

'Erm, maybe just around the same'

'Anyway, I just want to tell you, since I've realised that you have a very serious outlook on life, just learn how to relax and have fun,'

LIKE I really don't have a clue how to HAVE FUN???

'Ok, no problem sir, note taken,'

'Ok, stay well'

He then moved off to find another victim while I felt like I just got laughed at by a million people.

Later that day, as I was with another friend, this is what she said to me:

'I notice you seem to complain about alot of things'

'really? I'm just voicing my opinions, not really taking them to heart you know'

'Yeah, but you should just learn how to relax and have fun'

OH NO. In case you didn't realise, she just said the same thing my old teacher said just a couple of hours back.

Ah, well, at least I had better remarks thrown at me by my other teachers:

'I can't recognise you in that cap' said another

'I actually taught you??? I really can't remember.'

'You still look the same'

Cheers,
