Thanks for the Encouragement!!!
So many things happen this week. Will not elaborate too much, but it had done some harm to our department. Hopefully, it is all over and we can move on.
But thankfully, when I read the post on my tag board, it brings much joy. When student like Danial says the following comments, it really brightens my day.

Danial: don't even know how to create simple webpage using HTML hehe
It is not so much that he prefer lecturer like us, but rather that he was able to create webpage, when the others does not even know how to, when they should have learnt in their studies. It shows that our students had learnt. Their time spent in ITE Balestier was never wasted.
I had taken the liberty to copy the tag comments to my fellow colleagues so that they can be encourage and that the time spent in teaching the “NT” students are never wasted. This is what makes teaching so satisfying, it is when our students had learnt and are able to move on to “higher plains”.
I was just chatting with a group of students this afternoon from the Jan Intake, trying to show them that they could progress on to Poly if only they were willing to learn as I believe my fellow colleagues will never shortchange them in their teaching. Hopefully, what I had shred will take roots in their heart and that it will spur them to do well, while they are with us.
To all my young readers, never give up hope, if you are willing to learn, then I believe that your teachers, be it a secondary sch, a JC, an ITE or whatever, will definitely try to help you progress as far as you are willing!!!
