Mr.K

Awakened by a certain phonecall yesterday morning. Those who grew up in Red Swastika School probably knew Madam Thor. The phonecall then the first stint at relief teaching. I knew handling primary ones and twos would be tough but I had to experience it for myself. I called fellow relief teacher Ng Soon Tat for advice on the likely scenarios that I was likely to encounter. The general office obviously excited by a young, fresh and handsome new relief teacher asked me whether I do tuition. Which, of course, I kindly gave my number to. Hopefully more quick cash and assignments.

I always knew there will be some trouble for kids calling my name. Mr.Koay just doesn't sound right and obviously not the name to win over these kids. Must leave no room for them to make fun of. So I requested to be addressed as Mr.K. Like some agent in your James Bond movie. F thought 'Sir' would be more me which I agree but Red Swastika was a world of misters, misses and madams.

But why am I talking about such trivial stuff.
