I think MSHS has the best Humans department in Singapore! Especially with great teachers like Mr. J Wong & Mr. Low. Not forgetting to mention Mr Kwok too.

*1ST COMMENT WHOOOHOOO*

Hello there Maniacs,
This is a pleasant initiative by the seemingly very free and bored MSHS Humanities Dept. to start this blog.
Heh, its nice to see a more humorous side of the humanities teachers here, might let us students 'connect' with you teachers.
My thoughts, cya guys next time!

P.S This blog needs a tagboard =)

Regards,
Kua Jing Han

ATS,
Thanks for your vote of confidence for the department. :)

Jing Han,
Heh we are a bit bored but DEFINITELY NOT free :) We are busy preparing notes for your guys okie. Anyway, we decided not to have a tagboard because we happen to be control freaks and tend to want to control what appears on the blog.

archaeologists is spelt wrongly. You miss out the letter 'o' Pensive. :D
HAHA some of the profiles are so funny. Mr. Chen really looks so fierce because of his eyes, he always glare at you with that kind of serious look. And his muscles... Very Often i see him running 2.4! (the route that we run during P.E.) or he trains after school. hmmm. I wonder if he cuts his hair every week cos its always so short.
