Meeting R.I.'s former principal Mr. Sigamoney again after a quarter-of-a-century was an overwhelming experience. Mr. Sigamoney was the best physics teacher Mr. Phang has ever had, when Mr. Sigamoney taught for a few months due to staff shortage.

Teacher's Day 2007

Click on Hongjie to see his H3 physics project which won one of three SSEF 2009 Gold Awards in physics; NTU Nanyang Concept Test (Physics) High Distinction Award and Medal 2009.

Teacher's Day present - "Junior Hammer" (above) - for Mr. Phang to "threaten" Sec 3 & 4 students who make mistakes. This is different from Fiona's "Blood-Stained Magical Sword" (below) - which's for JC1 and 2 students.

Note: The "blood" is actually some red ink from a white board marker.

Teacher's Day 2009

Hongjie again appeared at the bottom-left corner of the photo.

One student above was in JC1 in 2009, one year younger than the others, in case you know him and are wondering. Nevertheless, he scored 3^rd in Mr. Phang's JC2 Physics Concept Test 2009.

(This is a challenging physics concept test for all JC2 students, spanning the entire 'A' level syllabus from classical to quantum physics, although some of the students attending Mr. Phang's JC2 class are actually younger than JC2 (in red)).

Is it scary to learn together with some of these very brilliant students? Of course not.

There is a Chinese saying that you will turn red if you mix around with a red pigment (近朱者赤).

More Teacher's Day ~~Weapons~~ Presents - Doo Doo Boxing Glove (Left) and Boxing Glove Hammer (Right).

These are for "primary school" students. Mr. Phang doesn't teach primary school, but some 'O' and 'A' students still make mistakes that "primary school" students make. That Doo Doo Boxing Glove even makes a "Doo ... Doo ..." sound, very suitable for scaring "primary school" students.

This one ... Hmmm ...
