I started my teaching career in 1990. St Thomas was my second school. I taught Form 1 pupils in the first school and jumped into the Third and Fifth former classes when i was in st Thomas. I found the thomasians are more playful, mischievous and smart. There had to be some reasons to it. It might be them being in a bigger town or the group I was handling comprising of bigger boys.
One thing that i couldn't wipe out of my mind is the pupils addressing me as Cikgu Sofea Jane. I was delighted by the 'admiration' given to me by the children or more accurately by the boys as I was 26 years old and teaching the 15-17 years old boys. Perasan giler!
Basically, above is just an 18-year-old anecdote. Recently, I heard someone humming to a song which I started to take notice of. Later, I heard that same song being played on one radio station. A friend told me about the title of the song being 'Sofea Jane' and that of course made me feel like in seventh heaven.
