On the section, Teacher's Day Tribute. They have a photograph of us as a class, with our beloved tutor Ms June Lin.

I don't have a scanner, so I try to crop out the picture as similar as the one illustrate in the magazine by Charles Chong. If you are wondering what the caption is about, it wrote:

"June holiday: This photo's taken in a holiday chalet organized by June's students. Can't spot her, can you? (She's the one with cutesy pigtails)"

Oh yes, if you are wondering why vanessa look whiter in the pic, and me seems to have put on makeup and maybe Ms June look younger? I din purposely make that, it was how it was published, I was just trying to make out how it looks like. haha.

Okay now the story, every word, every sentence and paragraph are from the article. Nothing have been modify. And I believe it will not commit any copyright infringement by doing that, because it is lesser than 10%.

Acknowledgement: The article is retrieve from Lifestyle Magazine, teacher's day tribute.

The Article

Teacher's Day, of course, is not just about school teachers. How about those who teach bo-chap big kids ...

They lecture, tutor, mentor and why, even make time for pastoral care. But when it comes to Teacher's Day..... proof! We only remember our primary or secondary school teachers.

Hands up, those guilty of treating tertiary lecturers like they're undeserving teachers. Of course, we love them - but why aren't they given the same attention on Sept 1?

"How would I know," quips June Lin, an Accounts Lecturer at the Singapore Poly (SP). She continues amid laughter:"My students always say we're lecturers, not teachers. So I ask them what's the difference, and they just laught because they can't explain. Also, it's quite unfortunate because Teacher's Day usually falls on SP's one week break in September."

June has been with SP for the past 12 years and, as we've guessed it, it pretty popular with her students (30 minutes over the phone with her tells why, too).

"Accounts is a very dry subject so I often crack jokes during lectures. And, when students doze off, I leave them for 10 minutes. Then I ask the others to keep quiet and get his neighbour to shock him or something," she says mischievously.

The remaining of the article revolve June's Lin poly tasking which might bore you guys, so if you all wanna contiune reading, I will bring the copy of Lifestyle Magazine on the Class Chalet which falls on the 17th to 19th of September.
