Hi my dear students,

Sorry for my absence, I have been away on a road trip with some teachers from TJC. 4 of them came to visit me and we managed a road trip together, travelling around California. Arizona, Nevada and spending Christmas and New Year together. Nothing beats having familiar faces around, the company was great, and the scenery of the places we visited was simply breath-taking.





Yosemite National Park



Gorilla, Troop leader, San Diego Zoo, San Diego


Bellagio Las Vegas


Skiing at Mt Rose, Lake Tahoe


Disneyland, LA


Great company!



Alcatraz, San Francisco


Grand Canyon covered in snow, blocked by thick clouds. Arizona


Universal Studios, LA
Whenever my students move up to JC2, I always feel they mature overnight, and are more focused in whatever they do. I hope you all will adjust well into your final year in TJC and get used to endless tests and extra lessons prepared for you. Perhaps you can think from the standpoint of the teachers, before any paper is given for you to try out, many hours were put into it from scratch to finish, and the marking that teachers have to do to identify your weak areas/ misconception actually helps you. Extra lessons are there to give you more opportunity to ask your tutors questions, and by giving you extra coaching, this does not mean that the teacher gets less duties from the school. So, no complaining ok, you simply got to push yourself all the way this time round.
And no more skipping lessons or missing lectures. You guys do the right thing ok? If not when I return I will hunt you down.
You guys take good care, and watch out for each other, be kind to one another.

Regards,
Mrs. Lim
