What a BlundeR... *sob*sob*

Something not so glamourous happened last week. I have been vigourously putting all my heart and soul into the project and naturally i would have expected good marks for the effort i had put in. However... this was not so. My group was awarded marks much lower than i had ever expected... i felt so sore about it. After that my classmates of 12 and myself set off to Chinatown to celebrate the mooncake festival. Although i was in no mood to enjoy the occasion, i decided that it would be much better compared to sulking alone at home.

I stood at the MRT, bitter and disappointed. I blamed no one but the teacher, whom i felt didn't know how to appreciate a good piece of work. I grumbled to my friends about how unjustifiable it was for the teacher to give such miserable marks and yet claim that he is lenient and all. I was upset and said things like "He thinks he's such a good teacher but he's not! Ask him to go back to ITE and teach lah!... etc." This went on until we alighted at one of the stops to switch to the another lane.

I scampered my way out of the MRT when i heard my friend calling me from behind. I turned and to my horror i saw my teacher standing closely behind me!!!!! I was stunned and shocked. I froze in absolute fear.. did he hear what i said? Where did he appear from? I gave my friend a blank look. Oh dear... boy am i in BIG trouble. But after awhile, i felt sort of justified about what i said. After all, i still think i don't deserve that pathetic marks.

The next lesson i had with him was sort of awkward. I could tell that he wasn't very happy and i felt really uneasy. When our eyes met, his eyes would dart away... as though i was like a thorn. I prayed about it and i admit that whatever i said that day was harsh and it was out of disappointment. I realised where i had gone wrong and perhaps i do deserve the marks given. It's all a learning experience. I should take it in a positive light and pick up where i left off.

After a week has passed, he finally spoke to me in a pleasent manner (today!!). I asked him a few questions about some information i was unclear on and he explained patiently and clearly. Yup... that was a real blunder but i'm glad that it's over. Hopefully he doesn't put it to heart about all i said that day...
