Promised ones from yesterday:
Name: Mdm Chen Li Li
Aka: Chen Lili lao shi, Chen Lili
Quotes: yao4 bi3 jiao4 wen2 ya3, qing2 sheng4 duan1 pu3 etc.
Status: Dance/mass dance teacher, Chinese Dance teacher IC
Comments: If there is a school rule for respecting your elders, we would have been expelled. Mdm Chen is one of the more elderly teachers in the school, but we all call her by her name: Chen Lili. Made in China, she speaks Mandarin all the time, resulting in misunderstandings between her and some of us. It is most obvious when she's conducting mass dance lessons in the hall, for the tuneless, eardrum-bursting music that she often (or always) chooses to go with the dance routines contaminates the whole school, especially the signature tune to go with the Nanzongquan (totally tuneless and alike those in the olden days martial arts movies). This year, she added in another tuneless, eardrum-bursting music that's been etched into everyone's minds: It feeeeelsss soooo good. It has been rumoured that she does not even understand what the song means, but merely liked the tune (tells a lot, doesn't it?). On the surface, she seems the kindly, benign old lady, but 20 000 leagues under the sea... She becomes a mutated purple dinosaur: Seemingly big and friendly, but you won't know when she'll creep behind you and mangle your organs up. Another one to be kept happy.
Name: Mrs Teo Yong Hong
Aka: Mrs Teo
Quotes: -
Status: Art teacher, Head of ecstatics -oops- aesthetics Department.
Comments: Initially thought her to be alike a pontianak: Suddenly appears in the dead silence to give everyone a cardiac arrest, then slurp our blood up. A long lost friend of Mrs Ng: They'd met at NIE about 10 years ago... Yet another disadvantage to us, having both of them for Project Work last year. Mrs Teo is yet another eccentric person, beating even that guy who sits in the White House and Mrs Ng (the latter's more of an achievement to beat than the former). A teddy bear cum tyrannosaurus rex (draw your own conclusions) reincarnated as our Art Teacher, she goes around the school hugging people, and pinching our auditory facilities whenever she deems fit (which is -surprise, surprise-, really often), not to mention her smacks to show how much she loves us -cued vomit noises- (da3 shi4 teng2, ma4 shi4 ai4). Another teacher who should go around with 'Do not disturb' signs around her neck, no student is safe from her sudden attacks from up high, so CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
Name: Mdm Cao Jing Hua
Aka: Cao Lao Shi, Cao (2) cao(1), cao (4?) ah ma etc.
Quotes: AN JING!
Status: CME teacher, Chinese teacher, String Ensemble teacher IC
Comments: If Hitler needed a scapegoat to 'unite' the school, this woman would perfectly fit the job. With her endless droning, no student can escape the wrath of our CME teacher, be it only for but half an hour. Unlike other CME teachers who talk to the wall, Cao Lao Shi attempts to poke her way through our thick skulls, but alas, it failed miserably on her part. Forcing portfolio after portfolio entry down our already sore throats, she mercilessly insists on us looking up the web and honing our photocopying skills, then practicing our sprinting skills by running to the Humans dept and chucking them into her pigeon hole often nearly a term late. One of the more irritating teachers who bug us for our useless pieces of shit, we would soon need pestbusters for humungous PESTS like her.
Name: Mr Damien Yam
Aka: Damien Yam, Da (4) mian(2) yang(2)
Quotes: 'Ok, girls...'
Status: ITE teacher
Comments: One of the more 'IT' literate teachers (ADUH), he would make any of the above teachers go green with jealousy with his Macromedia Flash, Dreamweaver, HTML and God-knows-what skills. Unfortunately, there are not many quotes on him for we do nothing in ITE except surfing the web (yes, $120 a year for surfing the web), and him sitting behind his computer doing God-knows-what (OOOHHMMMMM....) [A/n: draw your own conclusions. I don't wish to be sued for defamation] on his part. One who could switch jobs to being a nanny without a hitch.
Name: Mr Derek Tan
Aka: Derek Tan, DT
Quotes: 'Don't chicken-bow later...', 'Pull up your socks!', 'Where is your nametag?', 'Why is your skirt so short?'
Status: Science teacher, HOL.
Comments: One who has lost his marbles (old joke from last year), you can tell from the quotes what he is: Head of level. Shooting needles of fear into everyone's heart when he does the daily spotcheck (and when he announces that we're having a bout of OBE: obscene bra eradication), you never know when he'll haul you out of line and tell you that your skirt is a millimeter too short, or your socks have become invisible (in the past). Since he goes around checking blogs, I should be slightly better to him, but *points up* scroll up and look at the disclaimer before opening your mouth to lecture me on some rubbish about being a respected member of society. Rather nice guy (in all honesty) who doesn't give you any trouble if you don't give him any (unfortunately, this isn't always the case...). Nearly died of asthma when he came to check on our class' progress during the annual Spring Cleaning (esp that dirty little corner at the other end of the classroom no one bothers to clean... Shh!). The better of all the HOLs, we ought to be rather grateful that we got him instead of someone like *coughMEIHONGcough*.
