Teachers Featuring Mdm Theresa Lee

okay, today i shall write about mdm theresa lee choon moi (did i get that right?), our dearest add maths teacher, the one and only guru pakar, best in sabah , sabah and sabah =)

*i'm attempting to make is sounds like PCK, but i think i just failed horribly. oops!!*

i actually enjoyed add maths, but sadly i get a B3 for that subject. wahaha.. you know what, among the cemerlang A students, she told me that she was not confident that i would get an A, so yeah.. it turned out that way *sob*.

anyway, cg theresa has a very-very.. let's just put it this way : she has a UNIQUE sense of humour and sarcasm. and she speaks a whole lot of chinese english, which sounds cute really. "like that one ah?" and sometimes she goes "are you sureeeeee?" stressing the word sure. she's really good in add maths (obviously, other wise she wouldnt be a guru pakar) to the point that she can do probably any add maths question you give her. sometimes we think that she's one of the living add maths calculator, in a way it is true, right? and she does it real fast. there are times when she teach that we just simply got lost half way. and she'll ask which one we dont understand. and we'll say all, from the beginning. you know why? coz we cant relate to the question asked. and there were also times when she skipped steps, thinking that we can catch up, and we'll just go like "teacher! where you get that?" "how come like that?" then after she explain, we'll let out a long "oooooooooohhhhh" and she'll laugh at our foolishness (in a way its foolish)

*Wat's wrong with my writing style today? feels very dead to me ..huhu*

cg theresa or sometimes i call her cg lee is a very very tall lady and she has quite a big body frame. she's not fat at all okay, just that she's big size.. u know what i mean? sometimes i suspect that she might be mix blood, i mean western mix blood. and she has a very distinct dress code, well at least in my partner in crime and my opinion. most of the time, if she doesnt wear baju kurung or kebaya, then she will wear long skirts. i have a feeling that she fancy clothes that cover up her legs, heh. and her top will mostly be 3/4 long sleeves. occasionally she wears short skirts though, but not that often.

the advantage of having a guru pakar to teach you is the fact that you learn shortcuts. and no matter how hard the Q is, she will be able to find one way or another to explain to you why is it like that. at least it works with the formula la.. add maths is never explainable, it's too abstract. you just have to fill in the numbers into the formula and work it out. there's not much logic you can figure out from the formulas, unless you're a genius, of cause! any way, the not so good thing ( but some times, can still be good) thing about guru pakar is the fact that she travels a bit too often. every now and then we dont have a teacher in class to teach us. so sometimes our syllabus will have to be cramped, 2 classes= 1 class. and some times we have to stay back to repay the 'lost class' . the good thing about that is, we can procrastinate and not do our homework. hehe... but sometimes when she's gone for 1 week after another, we are like abandoned children (but she never abandoned us la!)

if there was any jokes about her in class, i think it might have slipped off our mind. but i'm 100% sure that no one will forget this particular joke, a joke between cg theresa and raymond.

*note: dialogue may not be exactly the same, but roughly it's the same. well, at least the story line is there!

scene: teacher teaching, raymond asleep behind. well, at least half asleep if not really asleep.
T: raymond! what are you doing?
R: *wakes up*
T: are you asleep ah? what time did you sleep last night?
R: 4am (or was it 2? nevermind)
T: 4 am ah? so late ah? i wonder what did you do ?
R: watch drama with my brother
T: what drama
R: hong kong drama
T: hong kong drama ah? very good.. and how old is your bother?
R: 12 years old.
T: 12 years old. upsr ah?
R: ya
T: wah.. boleh tahan ah, one upsr one spm, watch hong kong drama until 4 am ahhh..
* smiles sarcastically and continue teaching*

obviously everyone laughed at raymond for being so frank. okay now tell me, who doesn't remember this incident?? remember kan? nah..i told you. now go buy me a cub of yoyo drink. i want yam milky tea with pudding k, send to my house.

one thing about this teacher is the fact that she has rather sharp ears. being me, i monologue a lot. and it's rather embarrassing when she caught what i said. shessh. and she ALways repeat after me. *sigh*

  1. Mrs Gomes!!(we cekalians call her that) I miss her teaching!

    one quote i remember from her is

    "Ya lo, i want to see you all everyday so that when you leave the school you would remembered me the most and miss me the most"

    because she's not only teaching us add maths but also maths and we have extra classes with her..oh my!

    I'm terrible in maths..but okay for add maths. it seem strange that i could pass add maths but i struggle to make my maths pass

  2. mrs gomes? wah, sensitive gia tue! u know wat i mean. eh, that quote very nice eh! sure enough i'll remember her a lot. coz i do fancy her. you must be really good in algebra then. well my theory is that you can deal will the abstract and complicated addmaths but got bored of the too easy and not so challenging maths (seriously, i dont understand why we have to learn mathematical reasoning. it's too easy, until i cant understand. so always just tembak! haha)

  3. i kinda get what u mean.. but we(cekals) ask our teacher first on what to call him or her for greeting.. and one of her suggestion was Mrs. Gomes..we (or rather the guys) thought it sound cooler so it stuck..

    nah.. i think more to.. Mdm Theresa is a good teacher, or i'm focusing more on Add maths. but yeah, i like algebra!

  9. Wow!! so....which you missed most? the jokes? the sarcasm? the homework? the extra class? or the "how do you know?" and "why do you say so?" questions after you have already answered the "what.." questions.

    ReplyDelete
  10. i missed everything. esp the sarcasm ^^ haha.. the jokes were cool, esp when oredy sakit kepala cannot figure out what's the next step. and oso when lyna and talie goes blur (cute) and cg theresa starts geleng2

    the homework was challenging but i like it when i finally figured out how to solve the Q.

    i prefer class in class than extra class, could never pay full attn in the lab one. owez dozed of half way >.< (not that it is possible to sleep in HER class)

    p/s: i dont understand the latter half of the Q..
    or the "how do you know?" and "why do you say so?" questions after you have already answered the "what.." questions.
