Happy Teachers' Day to all teachers out there!

Sms/email some of my teachers today. I guess the very fact that I still contact them years after graduation goes to show that they are wonderful teachers and I am indeed fortunate enough to have met them during my days as a student. I hope, I can receive such messages from some of my graudated students ten years down the road.

My first Teachers' Day in HCI. My first Teachers' Day with male students. Haha. I am pleasantly surprised by the fact that some of them can bake (while I can't)! I could not help but introduce them to the (lucky) female students who were around. Though it was not as fun as the teachers' days in Nanyang, it was nevertheless a heartwarming one with some surprises. For instance...

The nomination by one of my classes.

The toy from 3 of my PRC students. One of them took notice that I like Doraemon when he helped me carry stuff to my table last week (such an observant and nice boy right? if only I was born ten years later...) The plastic bag contains some of the Doraemon's 道具.

Some of my ex-students from Nanyang who are currently in HCI came to look for me. Very nice of them.

The teachers' day lunch at Hotel Miramar was draggy, with lots of long speeches by the board of directors without any door gifts and lucky draw. It took 4 hours, when I reached home, it was already 5pm. As it was a joint event with the high school section, the venue was too small for all of us. It was quite boring, to be frank.
