#995: A class that went well. After a class that bombed. Even though the material was the same.
"Ok class, we are going to play a game. It goes like this...." ALT explains the game.

*excited whispers*
"Rika sensei, what are they saying? Why are they so noisy?"
"They are saying it is the telephone game. And they are excited."
"Really???!!" ALT is shocked.
.

.

*Bell rings*
Miracle of miracles: Students are STILL in their seats waiting to find out if their message has been passed correctly. And it's technically lunchtime.

ALT floats back to the staffroom.

Inspired by Neil Pasricha's 1000 Awesome Things. This is the SGean in Japan version:
1000 tok kong mee kia
According to the Coxford Dictionary of Singlish, tok kong is defined as such:
TOK KONG
Hokkien term meaning “superb” or “top of the line”.
1. “Check out his DVD player. Tok kong, man!”
2. “Wah lau eh, Ah Lian’s body is si beh tok kong.”
Mee Kia is, similarly, a Hokkien term for 'thing'. Its Chinese equivalent is shi4 qin3 or 事情.
