The Memoirs In NY - The Fellowship of 04S3A (Part III)
Chapter 4 - PE Teachers
Usually I would be averted towards PE lessons during secondary school years. This is because I usually fail NAPFA test.[okay...I always fail since Sec. 2] Hence, training was tough. Always got niao-ed by my PE teacher. [who is also the DM] But I look forward for the games part. However, the NY PE teachers were quite nice.[mostly~]
Firstly, let's talk about Mr Gurmit Singh. Nope, he's not the commedian on Channel 5 who is slowly moving to Channel 8. He's the first teacher who took my first PE lesson in NY. Taught us the standard way of pull-ups. He's always crappy. Always. But he can be serious if he wants to. Approachable teacher to talk to. But I've only had 1 lesson with him. Pity.
Our afternoon PE teacher, Mr John Lim [a.k.a. Zidane], was also a crapper. He'll be always sitting on that red chair under the trees beside the sit-up bench drinking coffee which is bought by some students.[cause he always ask those students who are going out of the school to buy for him.] Sometimes, it's not coffee but waffle!~ While he's enjoying his High Tea, we are doing our usual pull-ups, sit-ups, push-ups,squats,and running. But if he's in a good mood[which he always is~],he'll deduct some exercise we need to do!~ Anyway, he oso taught some of us basketball during the games module class. He also joined us in the game as well. In a nutshell, he's a good teacher too!~ Pity that he had parted with us.
Our new afternoon PE teacher, Ms Tang, looks stern at the first place. But after more afternoon sessions, she's also those type of teachers that you can joke with too. But she's very strict with the training. It's still bearable though.lol. After giving us the card of various exercise, [that includes the ones mentioned earlier plus jumping to and fro for a distance, step-up, running up and down the school etc..] most of us managed to get a Silver miraculously for our NAPFA re-test during Friday 13 May 2005 afternoon. [low who went for bowling competition didn't pass~]
Ms Yap, my Ultimate Frisbee teacher, is a very book-by-book teacher although she doesn't looks like one. Sometimes she can joke with you but sometimes she can be so strict.
Mr Loke, is my part-time PE teacher. He's quite good in teaching us skills to excel in NAPFA test. Also taught us some ways to warm up and cool down. An encouraging teacher. But he was only for a short period of time. So didn't know him very well.
Ms Audrey, trains us very well. Really well. Her card of exercise is hell. Step-ups not counted in the number of reps but in minutes. But then she's also an encouraging teacher.
Lastly is Ms Ong. She's also a hell-trainer. She got 3 cards for us to choose. Varying from easy,intermediate to advance. Luckily, we only had her for a short period only. If we unlucky, we'll get the advance card which will have the most reps!~IT'S CRAZY!~
~END~
P.S.:Look out for the next series
