Letter to Mdm Jean Tan!

Dear Mdm Jean Tan,

Hello! Mdm Tan how are you? I am fine, I heard that you are teaching at Fairfield Methodist secondary school, hope you are doing fine. It has been quite long time since I last heard from you. I really hope that you can come and visit Kent Ridge once in a while.
Now that I am in secondary four, it is very stressful as school has been very hectic and there has been many changes made after you have gone too. I wonder if you know that Ms Chamb. Our former principal transferred to Baliester secondary school and since secondary which is in 2007, we had a new principal came in to be our principal, whose name is Mr. Koh Chong Mong, same surname as Mr. Koh suan Lam isn’t it?
After the new principal has transferred to Kent Ridge, there are many new changes made too, for instance the uniforms, do you still remember the school badges that we used to pin on our collar pin? Well Mr Koh(new principal) has changed it to a iron on badges, which I don’t find any reason to do that, and it has been giving us more trouble than we used to. In my opinion, the new iron in badge looks pretty ugly and unsophisticated, I feel like I am in primary school again, and its too bad for us, because most of us are being forced to wear it.
When we came back to school after the holidays on 2nd of January, I found out that the colour of our school has been changed and i am okay with the new colous as having to look at the same colour or years would be dead boring, and it doesn’t look that bad too. Being able to sit in the gallery and being called “ The Seniors” is quite unimaginable, and I really am happy about that, I have been waiting to sit in the gallery for three years and now that I am in secondary 4, I can finally sit in the gallery so that is also one of the changes made only for our batch. There are also many new teachers coming in to teach our school every year, for almost all the subjects, but our former teachers have gone to different schools too for example Mr. Jonathan Tang, Ms May Wong and Mrs. AngelineSim.
It is such a pity that these teachers have been transferred to different school because they are really good teachers. This is our last year here, which is the most crucial year or all, the O levels exams are getting nearer and we have much more less time to prepare, and it seems that time passes so quickly, its like just yesterday I was in secondary 1 and now I m in secondary 4. So these are some changes that occurred in our school. I hope that you can come and visit us before the year ends and take care!


Yours sincerely,
Misheel
