My Dearest 2E'07,
Have you ever heard of the phrase "time flies"? I am sure we probably do.
As I write on this post I realise that time indeed flew and flew and flew. It's been 3 years and some of you have graduated, some of you are studying, and we are all at different stages of our lives.
I caught some of you in the pretty graduation photos and I am happy for you. It fills me with so much joy to simply see you people in those photos - your happy faces, as well as whenever facebook shows celebrations of birthdays, fun outings, etc. I'm so glad that for many of you, you have found a good friend or two from your days in Yuying.
Keep these friendships - they will last you a lifetime. You people are really great friends' keepers :)
I know that a bunch of you are doing your exams (O levels, N levels, or your ITE, or privates). Me too actually, I've to complete 3 essays this month, 1 presentation, as well as to prepare for examinations for my course. There's a lot of homework as well.
I wonder, if, the following description applies to us sometimes?
There will be times that we'll probably wish we are smarter, better looking...we'll probably wish we'll be more disciplined, we'll probably wish that we can turn back time, or even wish that time can run forward, or we may wish for short cuts. We feel discouraged, compare ourselves to others, go into extreme stress and bash ourselves up. What more, a couple of us may even have to face some family or friendship problems along the way...
Hmmmm?
The truth is, there is no better day, no better time, and time doesn't stop for us. Let's learn to accept that we are not perfect, we do have our weaknesses, forgive ourselves for the times we have not done well (forgive yourselves, no matter how may times!), and focus on our strengths, and allow the tough times in our lives to build resilience and strength deep in us, so that we may walk on the journey of life with faith and purpose.
All of you are unique and have your own strengths and goodness within you.
You have a purpose and you are not a mistake. You are wonderfully and beautifully made.
Don't quit, and don't give up.
Good News will encourage us, and Bad News will motivate us and build our inner strength.
Or rather, there are actually no bad news, it's a matter of how we perceive and receive the news.
So there, all the best for your upcoming 3 months before the year ends.
There is hope. Always.
Blessings, Ms D. Chan

Hello everybody! It has been quite such time since I last posted here.
Okay, I know you all miss me, but no worries, you're gonna see me like this Wednesday!
Hahahahahaha, not only me, you'll be seeing other 2E'07 awesomers too!
And not forgetting our Miss Chan, I know she miss us.
I know she miss us more than we miss her! :P Hehe.
Hi, Miss Chan! We hope you're doing good huh, and from your tag,
I see that you're planning to slack at the chalet right!
Haha, no, you must prepare us some food for us to eat too! :D
Okay, I am being very naughty down here, wahahaha!
I am kind of high now, so I am quite crappy, teehee!
Alright, I am really looking forward towards 2E'07 chalet man!
I hope we will have lots of fun and another unforgettable day spent with you guys.

Dearest 2E'09,
It was Jan 2006 when I started to teach your class, May 2007 when we first started this blog...and it's already Feb 2010 today!
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!
Time really flies and we've all moved on. Some of us are no longer with yyss, most of you are doing your O level year, and we've all our own stories to tell. When I saw you people at Seoul Garden, it really dawned on me that you've all grown prettier, more handsome, OLDER...and I am well....still...young. Hahahaha
Okay everyone, I hope you're all doing well, wherever you are - the 2E's excellence spirit probably sounds so old and foreign to us...but it simply means that we try our best and don't give up, because IMPOSSIBLE is written as I M POSSIBLE!
Have a good year ahead everyone - keep in touch and do take care.
Love lots,
Ms D.Chan
p.s. Thanks Aaron - I got your monthly sms...haha that really made me smile.
A New Chapter

Dearest Class 2E of 2007,
Good News or Not-so-good News?
Congrats on finishing your 4th year of secondary school life - whether it is N levels, O levels, Private, Repeating, or wherever you are - you've completed 4 years!
It is at this moment that we should take time to really encourage and be moral support for each and everyone of our classmates who not going to Sec 5. As I've smsed (to those of you who are in my hp list - else pls sms me your number k!), what is really more important is that you are okay, and your future is still bright - as long as you've the right attitude! There is no difference about your self-worth and identity, don't you forget that! The reason why I started the post for this group of you is to show you how important that attitude is more important than anything else, and I want you to feel worthy and accepted too. Of cos, this attitude means, if you've worked hard already (and/or you had personal issues that you had to deal with for the year) - then know that your destiny is out there for you to fight for it. If you know deep deep down that you didn't put in enough effort, then let this be a wake up call for you to really start fighting, okay? Whatever that is, don't give up - fight!
Of cos, congrats to each and everyone of you who made it to Sec 5! I'm sure the new requirements are not easy so I'm really happy for you - yes, plus those of you whom we've not been seeing each other for such a long long time, you and you and you! Congrats to Alfred for our top scholar for N levels, and Jiahao being the next - you both really did well and we're all happy for you! This is great news for all of you who are going Sec 5 - and indeed worthy of celebration. After the celebrations, go back to school with the correct attitude and really work all you have for Sec 5 - for your dreams. O levels is a leap from N levels, so you will really need to put in all you have - don't be complacent, don't waste even the first 1-3 months playing and enjoying yourself without studying. Since you've spent so much time for 4 years, don't waste everything down the drain for your final year, okay? Don't lose yourself in pc games, lan games, bgr, blah blah, and lose focus. Whatever that is, don't give up - fight!
So while Benjamin, Dennis & Siyong are enjoying their holidays waiting for O levels, Chen Wei is doing so super well @YMCA (he topped his class!), and the rest of you are either working or resting, enjoy your december. Big Thanks to Freddy (for organising - it's his first time!), and to all of you who were there for the annual 2E gathering. I didn't know that it was a farewell for me as well, so I'm especially touched.
Your class has a special place in my memories - which I'll probably still remember and laugh at when I grow old. Who can forget 2E'07 forgetting thermometers on my birthday!!!! I still remember all the scoldings and the laughter...and the mega "drama showdown" at the courtyard. I don't think I told you all this - after I walked off so super angrily and upset from the courtyard - I sat down in the staffroom trying to cool down...and started to prepare for my next lesson...only to realise that I'm going to step into your class for CME next! (Imagine the horror and humour on my face!) Hahahaha...
While we are all moving on next year and the years to come - let's all work hard and keep in touch. We'll try to post something regularly on the blog, right? :p
Okay, let's also make a date for an annual gathering - and start seeing botaks in 3 years...start saving up for each other's weddings...having dads and moms in dunno-how-many-more-years...grin. It'll be so fun to see how everyone progresses, isn't it?
Have a blessed Christmas everyone - do consider doing some personal reflections (what were your happiest moments, your saddest moments, your times of regret, what you want to see yourself doing and feeling next year) and finish 2009 with a smile :)
Love,
Ms D. Chan
Check out this photo...and how you have grown!
Taller, Prettier, Handsome-r, Longer Pants, Shorter Skirts! :p
Class Gathering cum Farewell Party

2e 07' CLASS GATHERING CUM FAREWELL PARTY
Hi all...Exams are over for most of us, but for some who are still taking 'O' levels, jia you and persevere all the way!!!
Anyway, instead of a chalet, we will be going to SEOUL GARDEN TAMPINES MALL for our gathering, because it is a bit too late to book a chalet as most are fully booked and also the planning will be quite hectic. So a buffet lunch session will not take up a lot of time, and also it will definitely require lesser money than a chalet. Thus, we will be doing a buffet gathering.
This Buffet lunch session will also be a farewell party for Ms Chan because she will be leaving the school soon.
Below are the details of the Buffet Gathering:
Date: 8th December 2009, Monday
Time: 12noon onwards....
Venue: Seoul Garden Tampines Mall
Cash to bring: $14 and above. $14 for the buffet and the others for entertainment, if any of you plan to do anything there
*Those who got facebook account....pls state if u are going or not through there or if u may not be able to make it on that date, please also state by thursday. Those who don't have facebook account, just call me @ 90868727 to tell if u can come or not (also by thursday, 12/9/2009) . Thanks :D

Hello, Dearest 2E-ians!
I am tired and bored so I came here to talk to you guys.
How's your studies going? Seriously, I find myself slacking and goofing off during some lessons.
(Obviously, those boring lessons :P) Prelims paper starts at 3rd of August and I was really sad when I can't get my mind to study and concentrate during lessons especially my weaker subjects. Chemistry, Physics, Combined Humanities and POA. All these are my weakest but sadly, all these lessons are boring ones. No joke.
I know this is bad but I just couldn't get my mind into it previously but TODAY, I have already made up my mind to really concentrate during lessons.
Because, I've got this wish and I want it to come true....... And my wish is my motivation.
SO, I am very motivated now. Get motivated! The feeling is 'WOW'.
Whatever problems you guys are having now, put it aside, concentrate on your studies first before you ever regret for not studying hard at the first place. All these people are everywhere, I guess I WAS one of them. But I'll never be one anymore, I hope!
!
Ex-classmates! Lets do it together, we can do it! Because we believe in us!
On behalf of everyone, I thank Miss Chan for being so supportive towards us.
Since she's so supportive, would you bear to disappoint her?
And to all 2E-ians and Ms Chan, take care of your health, no falling sick :)
Lastly, Ms Chan always says, Impossible is written as I'm possible.
P.S. I can't bear to see this lovely class's class blog dead so here I am.
Love, Wei Ting.

Yet another Sec 2 Camp has come and gone.
Every year, when Sec 2 Camp starts and ends, it never fails to trigger memories of 2E'07.
It's now 2009. Time really flies, isn't it?
You know, I had a really upsetting day in school today.
Remember there was this one particular day when I was so furious with your class that I was at the top of my voice from the hall, to the parade square, before storming off?
I remember what I said, "I wish I never love you all so much, so that I won't be so upset."
I also remember telling myself that I will never be that angry any more at any class or students again. It wasn't a good feeling. I also knew that deep down, I wanted all of you to buck up and do well for your studies, for your future, for your own lives, no matter what background or problems you are facing.
Today, that all-so-familiar feeling of anger rose up in me from another class. I was so upset and so totally furious. I won't go into details - but I was equally as angry and firm in my words today. It's been many hours and I'm cooling down.
You know what, the thought just dawned on me.
I hate to admit it, but I was so angry because I care. I'm so worried that the students won't make it for their national examinations. I'm so totally upset and angry that they are not bucking up and putting in their best. I'm so furious.
Why am I telling you all these? When it's all about them and not about you?
Simply because...
The kind of anger (that I'm so worried that I end up being so angry) that I experienced 2 years ago for your class came back to me today. Made me really wonder how all of you are coping in studies. Are you studying? Are you trying your best? Are you really doing your best?
I hope you are making the best use of your holidays. You've come so far. It's already been 4 years in YYSS, and 6 years in primary. You've studied for at least 10 years!
Make the last 4 months count.
Just do it.
Nothing is impossible.
Because I am Possible.
Supporting you all always,
FT 2E'07.
How are you doing?
Monday, April 27, 2009
My last post was in Feb and time flies. It's already nearing May and it's 10.54pm now.
I'm suddenly reminded of the boys in short pants and the girls in short/long skirts.
It's your EL papers tomorrow and I am wondering how everyone is doing...
Are you studying well? Are you coping well? Are you focusing well? Are you feeling well?
It's always nice seeing you around in school - but somehow I don't get to bump to most of you this new term. I think I remember seeing Samson on stage...Yo Lee eating nuggets...Timothy saying hi...and the usual bubbly girls who always say, "hi MISS CHAN!" and you brighten my day each time :)
Congrats to those of you who took part in the recent competitions. While the results do affect us positively or negatively sometimes, remember that it was the learning experience that matters too. You are all special in your own ways. Remember - our ole' 2Excellence spirit.
Don't give up on excellence - give it your best shot this year. Alright?
All the best for your exams!
Love,
Miss D.Chan
FT '07
P.S Special WAVE and CHEERS to Weiting, Timo, Farridon, Illi, Alfred, Jo, Aaron, Freddy, Samson. You're the ones who kept our tagboard alive this year! KEEP THE TAGS ALIVE! :)
Dear all...

[edit: 22/feb]Now now now... 2E'07, especially to our regulars (you know who you are)
This is week 7 since we left 2007, today is 17th and this is the 74th post for our blog :)
I hope you are feeling the heat of N levels, O levels, upcoming exams of any sort. There are lots of school activities going on, CCAs, competitions, speech day, etc etc etc. I'm also breathing up to my neck but trying my best. I hope you are too.
Like I always said, it's always good to see you around in school. Nowadays we seem to bump into each other a little more. Probably the FRC routes, classroom routes or something like that. I remember seeing Samson 2 times in a row on the same day. Something quite uncommon last year. Oh and this week I saw Victoria, Xinrong, Illi, ZhaoYuan, Shafiq, regina, hannisha, alfred, si yong, Ben (but of cos I see you ben... haha), leon, farridon, sufi and Samson.
but you see...I also met Weiting and Jojo (okay me getting old...forgive me). heh heh
The rest...where are you? :)
Okay, you are still remembered. The road goes on and on and on. We still walk on but we do remember the road that brought us together, and the times we spent. Let's walk on...
Love,
Yes, me :P
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Love, 2E FT'07 :)
Let's GET GOING!
Tuesday, January 20, 2009
This is our 72th post and the blog is older by a year...and so have you!
I hope you're more or less settled for school this year...whether you are in 4Expres, 4NA, or doing 3NA this year...you've your own journey to walk, which you obviously have to walk yourself (with the help of teachers, etc etc of course)! :)
Just a short note to say I really enjoy seeing you around school and a simple "hi" from you does make a difference to brighten my day. I hope it does the same to you too.
Have a wonderful 2009 ahead. Till our next post...TAKE CARE & STUDY HARD!!!!!!!!!
Love, FT'07 (Wow, how time flies...that was 2007!)
P.S. I kept hearing and reading this word "BFF" from teenagers all around me and I finally googled to find out its meaning. Interesting...
