“When she scolds, the whole school knows!”

Yay, precisely! Remember how she would remain at the foyer with her eagle eyes watching all of us file away to our classes after morning assembly? She never misses anyone who steps on the grass! Lolz… the last time I went back to SC, the grass was still green… Bet no girl dares to step on it, cuz Miss Heng will holler from the foyer! SCARY!

Finally, after years of tireless speculation amongst my group of friends, we’ve found out Miss Sie’s age!!! Muahahahaha… It’s such a waste that she no longer teaches at SCGS, she reminds me a bit of Ms Heng… (read the incident where the girls tried to pull a prank on Miss Heng below)

In the article, it was mentioned that Miss Heng declined to be interviewd. Haha… Very typical. She’s almost never given any interviews or allowed any reporters within foot of any SC gal within the compound… Smart move, I say. You never know what the papers will do (or say)!

“What I want for the girls when they leave school is that they have confidence in themselves, that they are emotionally stable girls, happy that they’ve had a happy school life.”

I think she’s generally achieved this aim quite well… I AM pretty stable on most days (hahaha…)

The school emphasizes character development and good values and aims to produce ‘kim geks’ – a Peranakan-Hokkien metaphor for women who are treasures because they embody the virtues of filial piety, genitility, kindness, propriety and diligence.

Dopey - an embodiment of the virtues of filial piety, genitility, kindness, propriety and diligence.

An SCGS legend has it that one class who tried to play a trick on her received a taste of their own medicine instead.
The girls had planned to ambush her with a stink bomb in class. Miss Heng turned up, wrote a few history questions on the blackboard and said, without turning her head:
“I think I have a cold. Could you close the windows?”
After the windows were shut tight, she said: “Okay girls. Do the questions, and I’ll be back.”
She left, slammed the classroom door shut and left the pranksters with a lesson to remember.

Haha, yeah… Apparently some teachers in SCGS must have learnt from her very well, too well indeed… Can’t remember us having ever played a successful prank on any teacher.

But one thing not on the cards, contrary to a hot rumour in circulation, is marriage.
Mrs Lee said with a laugh: “That rumour follows her with every long holiday she takes.”

Aiya, give the lady a break. She’s got around 1000 mischievous, screaming girls to take care, where does she have the time… (and I tell you, even if she’s not married, she makes a better mother than so many modern mums I see these days!)
