Wanted: A good chat over some good food.Last week, Sha and I were talking. Small talk. She mentioned that we haven't been talking to each other a lot, compared to last year. She said she really misses our chats (and gossip). She said she really wanted to find a time to have a good chat with me.
I was seriously moved. I've always got along very well with Sha since we were in the same batch of TAs at work. And yes, we talked so much more last year, working with the same group of children and with the same teacher. And the school's staff population was much smaller then.
I miss it too. Having some good laughs and good chat and juicy gossip (which I would then act ignorant and nonchalant about) with a few of my 'oldest' colleagues, like Sha and Nis. It's just a bit more difficult when we are in different tracks and seated 3 aisles away from one another. Then again, I do visit her aisle often... cos Ah Girl is in the same aisle. But, Sha and Nis, for some reason, can hardly be found at their workdesks. They are usually upstairs in their classrooms, working. These are genuinely concerned and competent and compassionate people, invested in making a difference in the lives of kids they work with. I wonder if they know this is how I think of them...
I wonder if it isn't time to prepare for Teacher's Day now... I've lotsa teachers at work. = )
