I am not type A!

You Have A Type B+ Personality


B+

You're a pro at going with the flow
You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer
A total joy to be around, people crave your stability.

While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity.
Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done
You're passionate - just selective about your passions

她與她的事情





她與她的事情
(原文刊登於女青年會輔導專線刊物「真意」)


Miss Wong 是我中四和中五的班主任。
因為我是家中最大的女兒,所以很容易對一些比我年長十年以內,又有一些personal charm的女人產生家姐的感覺。自己很清楚這種不是同性戀,純粹是心理學上所說的transference而己,又或者是偶像那種認同感吧了(雖然作為基督徒是不應有偶像,所以我只會說是我欣賞的人)。Miss Wong 就是其中一位。


我中七那年,有個對我十分信任的中五師妹,覺得自己應該會考都只得幾分升不到中六要出來工作,加上臨考會考前一星期一個家人突然嚴重急病入院(尊重我師妹家人的私隱,所以不多說),所以打算缺席會考所有科目專心照顧家人。師妹第一個是告訴我,但又覺得這樣會對不住某科她喜愛(雖然成績差)的老師兼班主任,便回校打算負責任地向班主交代一聲。


那位班主正是Miss Wong


班主知道後,用心勸師妹不要未上戰場就放棄。雖然院方不准外人去探,但因為當時她的妹妹是護士(不在那醫院做),對這個病有些認識,所以非常熱心去幫師妹找有關那病的資料,令師妹明白那病的資料,安心了好多。講真,她那時不是輔導組,而且我師妹不是精英班,大可不理我師妹,但我親愛的前班主都盡所能去幫和鼓勵我師妹,所以我師妹最終都有去考會考,還拿了1x 分。雖然師妹的家人最終去世,師妹也沒能升上原校中六要去外校,畢業後又因為私事從沒有回來探老師,但我知道師妹一定好感激老師所做的事情,那怕在外人眼中只是微小的一件事。

A nice email from Jade Ngan

Hi Joycemee,

Is the picture taken recently? I recognize everyone in it although not able to tell the names. You are probably the one in blue tee? Whoever she is, i would say she just looks the same as i remember. How come! I think the unconventional spelling of "see" instead of "sze" makes your name easy to remember and your manuscripts, i mean you write big and clear letters, am I correct? Wai, tell me the names of your friends. I'm sure i can recall something about them.

I left teaching after an innocent year in STGSS. Have been staggering for a couple of years in the printed media and then settled down at TELA till now. So Form 3D is kind of unique memory to me. I have always been amazed to meet such a class of students and you should know how i mean it now that you are also a teacher. It's too good to be true, isn't it? As far as i can remember, i met 3 or 4 of my students after i left STGSS and oh, i see Fong Kin Yee once or twice at my office when she came for a report on the Broadcasting Authority. Then i heard about Yiu Hong in some kind of student activities in the university/polytechnics.

Don't know how students are nowadays. Are the Band 1s as good as it was? You haven't said but if your master degree is in education, bet you are quite happy with your job and will carry on? Hm, you all owe me a thank you for not continuing to be your teacher after Form Three - the biggest charity i've done probably, ha!

HKCEE result release + Counselling Classmates Part 2

HKCEE result release...

My Maths class has 2Cs... the second best passing rate among all 7 subjects...

Ah Fung, Anna, Hiu-tung: Kung Hei Kung Hei! But you need to study hard in this 2 years... especially Hiu-tung, you choose Maths and Stat and you will die in my hand! Haha.

Ah Wan: Are u better now? Keep me info on your progress in searching Australia schools.

Siu-yuen and Ho-shan: I hope you can find a Form 6 place soon.

Ellen and Hiu-wah: Wish you well.

*_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^

You cannot imagine that I met my Master classmates again in such a short period of time! It is because Angela will leave HK on Friday.

We finished a lot of unfinished business during the dinner - Wynstan and Angela, I was so sorry that I made you waiting for me for so long before our Master class began! :P

Tina: I have reserved 10/9 already to visit your Snoopy House!

Keith: We have no 手段呢... only "身段"... so we can't get the prize...

Counselling Classmates Part 1

I have a gathering with my Master classmates today.

You can't imagine that 18 classmates gather in a 700 square feet house - even Angela and John come!!

I made a fruit salad (apples in salty water + coconut + corn + red grapes + red beans) for them, but it was not as "good selling" as Sunny's shrimp salad! (I have to admit that my Home Economics is very poor...)

The high climax tonight is Agnes' Chinese dancing. She even teaches me how to "para para".

Ho Ping-gun: I did not jump into the pool but you still moved the swing that I sat on. I got heavily wet. I will remember u! You owe me a hiking tour, hehehe.

2 camps

I just return from TWO camps! So crazy!
Here is the pineapple rice made in the Tung Tsz Camp. The taste is... quite raw and sour...




I like the tomato fish and the cheese ham rice invented by Hiu-tung!

For the second "camp" - Bible Study Camp, we finally moved our place from Sha Tin Ling Kei Camp to SENSE - a second-floor-cafe near Langham Place. I ordered a "黑馬情人" - 阿華田沙冰. The taste was quite good. Next time I want to try a 白馬情人!


The environment was so quiet that we "read" the whole book of 約翰福音 in 2.5 hours! Recommend for growth group or cell gathering.
Address: 2/F, 521 Shanghai Stress, Mong Kok. (Near Exit E1, Mong Kok MTR Station)

20050727 BLC

I had a dinner with the members of "Beautiful Ladies' Club" - Joyce, Ah Pik, Ka Yee, Kar Yan and Grandma Waiman (hehehe... actually they are all my secondary school classmates...) - tonight in Langham Place. We had our first round in a Japanese restaurant and then we changed our gathering place to a Shanghainese cuisine at around 9 pm (Hahaha... 2 rounds the same night... we'd better change our name into "Fat and Crazy Ladies' Club"). At first we thought that the Shanghai food was okay. Then we started to "blow water"... We talked and talked and talked and shared a lot for a long time until 11 pm. Then a waitress came and said, "There is a 100-dollar minimum charge policy. You have six persons and you should spend $600. However, you have ordered $385 only."

11 pm and we were all full and we had to think how to order more food for the extra $215!!

The most important point was: the cuisine never told us this policy when we reserved the table, when we settled down the table, when we ordered food, and when we finished our food at around 9:45... The cuisine even did not put up a sign outside and inside the restaurant to remind its customers...

We asked another "handsome" (?) waiter to confirm this policy. His face showed a sign that "many customers asked this question before" and finally when he came back, he said, "The manager waived this policy especially for you." But with a sign in his face that "actually the manager will waive this policy ONLY IF you ask!"

I will put this restaurant into my black list!!!

Tea

I had tea with her this afternoon... It is a nice thing to talk to her since she always inspires me to be a good teacher. And actually, she is a good model of a good maths teacher.

To CK Sir: She is my Secondary 5 class teacher + maths teacher + Amaths teacher + a really very good teacher that I love! 學下人啦! Hahaha.

To my student Carol : I typed this entry after bringing you to the Tai Po Bank of China on Saturday... It was because I "discovered" a photo of you + Miss Kwan inside your purse on that day. I knew that Miss Kwan is your most favourite teacher long time ago, still I was very surprised to see that photo because I can't imagine that nowadays we will have such a "長情" student and you made me recall the good memory between me and my teacher *_^

Social Psychology Exam

Explosion in London again. How is Miss Wan? And how is Cindy Yung? I miss them. I will pray for them.

*_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^ *_^

Tried...
Just return home. The social psychology exam tonight is sooooooo difficult. I brainstormed very long and can hardly write out the correct answers. I have confidence to get 28 out of 40 only... The lecturer says we have to get 75% correct in order to get a "B"... oh I don't want a "C". I want to apply Master in Psychology, and definitely only students with all straight A will be admitted...
But anyway, the exam is a past tense. I have to work hard on the next subject - ethical issues in psychology!
