JA: Aiyo!!!!!! am i talking to the wall ah??

JA= mdm jen, s= students

well, that's what normally happens in class. most of the time the students ignores her. i'm one of them who actually bothers to respond to her questions. when i'm tired of it, i'll ignore her too.
but i dont understand why are my classmates ignoring her? anyone bother to tell me? sometimes she will look at me straight in the eyes, demanding an answer. and i'll be like, damn! why me again? and answer her reluctantly.. if i dont, she will look at ricky. but this normally only happens when it's non related to physics. when it's related to physics, then shana will be her target. sometimes i pity her, but who asked her to be the smarthead in my class =D and i remembered once, when shana, ricky and i went for this moral education quiz, all the questions were directed to christabel. she was so pissed off she posted in friendster. hahaha! well, lets share the pain, hehe

mdm jen is the asst class teacher of my class. if i'm not mistaken, she have some qualification in landscaping. not many knows that she does landscaping for our school, but i doubt that the ladang concept comes from her though!

anyway, i think of all our subject teachers, mdm jen is the most dedicated one. she really drill our physics like i-dont-know-what! for the last 3 months or so before SPM, she actually made us do this physics paper 3 exercises 80% of the time she enters the class. we did it until we got so sick of it. i'm serious, really sick of them. although we complain (behind her back) but i think we are also thankful to have such a great teacher. well, at least most of us still finish her work. on top of that, she set a target for each of us. there's one term, she left a comment/note on my report card.
try and get 85% in the next exam
i was so shock and speechless, i just stared at her comment and shut the world out of me. i pity mr melvin, because he was commenting on my result and i wasnt even listening, thanks to mdm jen! she even "bribe" us to get an A for physics in SPM. guess how much are we getting for an A in SPM? RM 50! $$ that's what she is, she really pushes us to the limit and wants the best out of us.

few weeks before spm, she even made copies of papers from all over Malaysia for us. our class looks like a printing house i tell you! we have complete sets of questions from MRSM, sekolah kluster/asrama penuh, terengganu, perak and kuching. and we get all that for FREE. other teachers will make us pay, but we got it for free. we are so damn lucky!

but one thing that we dont like about her is that she frowns too much. if she is my mother, i would have said : mom, stop frowning, you look old! she have nice smile though =) when she teach, she tries and make sure the students understand what on earth is she teaching. but there are times that we dont understand, for example, when we first learnt about logic gates, our pick up was slow, she had to keep on repeating it. at the end of it i think she got irritated. "understand already?" "aiyo! masi tidak faham ah?""mana yang kamu tidak faham?" "okay, let's do it again"
i guess we really tested her patience, but she's great. and if you have any problem in physics, dont hesitate to look for her, she will definitely help you. i even asked her for help while doing my addmaths project. the addmaths project was related to some physics concept.

oh yeah, one more thing. this might not be obvious, but i worked with her before, so i know. she's a perfectionist. hands down, i loose. if you think i am a perfectionist (not when it comes to typing though), then she is one hell of a perfectionist (pardon my language please). last year, she was working together with ms chua as the teacher adviser of our club. i was the asst secretary back then, but i did most of the reports at the 2nd half of the term. and my experience was.. oh dear!!!! you spelled one word wrongly means that you have to reprint your whole report again. no excuse; no mercy. ms chua, also known as a perfectionist, would only ask me to make amendments with the correction pen. which makes life much easier!

p/s: now you know why PBL team could win the competition!
