Open letter to Form 6AFZ Class of 2009 of SMK Dato’ Jaafar – by Miss Isabelle Wong
November 10, 2009
An open letter to Form 6AFZ Class of 2009 from SMK Dato’ Jaafar – 10th November 2009
Dedicated to my beloved Form 6AFZ Class of 2009 from SMK Dato’ Jaafar,
Form 6AFZ Class 2009 - SMK Dato Jaafar
It has been a pleasure teaching all of you (yeah, all 18 of you) bubbly and lovable young adults for the past one and a half year. However, time waits for no man, it flies. And now we have reached the last stage of our chanced and fated union. The final week in class however will not be a time for nostalgic feelings or solemn goodbyes. It should be more of a time to be putting in some final effort to carve out a bright future through the biggest examination of your lives.
It may not be trouble-free sailing all year long between us, but there should be no doubt that the best of my efforts have been done to share knowledge with you all. I hope all of you have gain some knowledge in the process. Let me tell you this, I may be the teacher, but I have also learnt a great deal from all of you. You might not believe this, but it is no lie, my beloved students.
The end of your school life might be near, but the journey ahead is still far and long. Some will be taking the conventional path, some will take the path less travelled. Either way, your first step into adulthood starts with doing well in your STPM exams. Doing well do not grant you a guaranteed future, but it will illuminate your path greatly.
So I will advise you to put in all your efforts in the final moments and perform to your best. Do not lose hope, because daring to dream is one half of success. Do not lose hope also, for I believe in the ability of all of you. And do not lose hope, as you are better than what you think you are.
So, forget about all the burden placed upon your shoulders to do well in your exams, you only need to do well in your STPM for yourself and no one. I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Isabelle Wong

Hey..thanks for puttin me in no 1..hope I could get no 1 in my results too..I mean cgpa 4..not 1..lol..keep in touch 敏洁
By Samuel hon on Nov 13, 2009
@ Pushpah – Thank you for your kind words. It is really a pleasure to be teaching you and get a class full of varying characters like your class. (Haha.. teachers might look ‘fierce’, not due to their personal nature, but sometimes it is the passion to teach that makes us very ‘focused’ in class. And this sense of ‘focus’ usually is interpreted as ‘fierce’. hehe.. Anyway, some teachers are memang fierce by nature, until you know them better…. haha..I will let you all decide for yourselves which category I fall into)
By webmaster on Nov 13, 2009
@ Samuel – With hard work, you will get no.1 with a CGPA of 4.0. (Zhi Cheng should be happy to be placed as No.4, that will bring him some extra luck to get CGPA 4.0). Keep in touch too 萨谬尔 (translated as: Samuel)

@ Kumar – Welcome aboard to BerryBerryEasy ! Maybe you can send me your photo so that I can finally fill in the missing gap in the photo. I hope to perfect this post before you all leave the school. Tune in for more.

The class 6AFZ post is updated but still not yet perfected. Let’s see if you all agree with the description or not. Has anybody started any list to collect the contact details of the whole class? (e-mail, msn, yahoo messenger, QQ, nicknames, address, mobile numbers, and such..) Maybe I can open a new password-protected post to collect all details, and once it is done, can be emailed to everybody for their keeping. Trust me, you’ll want it. Drop me suggestions on this topic. Cheers

[Edited at the request of the commenter -I'll just delete the link]
But don’t worry teacher, we can always take another complete picture.
By Kumar on Nov 15, 2009
@ Kumar – Thanks supplying the link. I will assume that you own the pictures and allow me to put up all the photos. Correct me if I’m wrong, because I want to be crediting the photos to you.
By webmaster on Nov 15, 2009

By pushpah on Nov 17, 2009
@ Pushpah – Your comment made my day. I’m still smiling each time I read all of your comments. I’m really happy to have all of you as my students. – I agree with your judgement that Pn Lam is a berry berry hardworking teacher. If you ever need a role model, you might consider her. (Her husband, Mr Lam formerly of SMK Dato Jaafar, now in SSI is an equally nice person too.) – “she only talk nicely infront of ppl then later talk bad bout them, this type of teacher must change their attitude not to act everytym dun be (humble)… hehehehe i think u can guest who is that” -> hehe
By webmaster on Nov 17, 2009
You are most welcome teacher. And thanks again. Anyway, i think we have a complete photo of 6AF taken on the last day of school.
Regards.
By Kumar on Nov 18, 2009
@ Kumar – Yes, we have a complete photo of 6AFZ taken on the last day of school. Ironically, this is also our farewell in class photo.

By li yuan on Feb 19, 2010
@ li yuan – i don’t think the description of you will make people faint. Haha. I’m sure a large portion, if not all, will agree to you being a rather cheerful girl. If that doesn’t brighten the class, nothing does anymore.
By BerryBerryTeacher on Feb 22, 2010

some ll continue further study ba….
haha….. c wen i free i juz go back 2 school and find u^^ hehe….
By li yuan on May 10, 2010
@ li yuan – Good to know that you are busy everyday. This means that you are blending in your new environment well. (People who don’t blend in well will just stay in their hostel/rented room and do nothing whole day). You probably heard this many times, but tertiary education will be harder than Form 6 last time, so make sure you study constantly. This is important because semesters are relatively short at 3-4 months. Awaiting to see you when you come back to SDJ.
