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!

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

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.
