PSLE Marking days......

I always enjoy PSLE marking days. It's the time of the year whereby I can mingle with old friends and catch up with the latest gossip in other schools. (^-^) For the past two years, I am lucky enough to be in the company of fun-loving people, and I thanked god for that. Can't imagine going thru marking days without such "nice nice" people. Those who know me well would know that I can get really excited at times and forget about my age and "image". That was what happened this afternoon. One of my sch colleagues said that I looked happier during marking days and even called me " Xiao gin na" (hokkien for "crazy kid"). I was quite offended by the nickname, think it was rather rude of them to do so. What's wrong with smiling happily? But can't be bothered to "retaliate".

Noticed a few teachers wearing super short skirts, all-dressed up as if they are going to the party. A few with dyed hair that are very obvious. Saw one wearing a pair of jeans so low that when she sat down, I can see half of butt and her 股沟......
I believe in the need to uphold certain level of professional image. All these teachers, they can wear what they like outside working hours, that is their freedom. However, when they turn up for work-related events, they should wear appropriately. Have you ever see a doctor in mini skirt? Or an engineer who turns up wearing high heels, short frocks or dresses? Common sense would tell us that we should not, and should dressed according to the function and occasion. A friend revealed that when her daughter was in pri 4, every day, she would tell my friend what was the colour of the under garments of her English teacher. As a result, my friend called up the school and spoke to the principal regarding the teacher's dress code.
