Thursday, September 25, 2008 @ 12:13 AM: Last tuition
In a real pensive mood today...
Just finished my real last tuition before going to Cambridge (really wonder when is the next time I'm going to give tuition at such a frequency), but let me list the students I have taught after I have ORD-ed (no matter it is two tuitions or over the year):-
Jasmine
Huiqing
the sengkang gal whom i forgot the name
Wei Hern
Chi Hern
Tasha
Lianna
Kok Joon
Xinrui
Peiying
Seraphina
Taihong
Bronn
Thank you for having impacted my life in one way or another, for allowing me to mentor you and guide you through the various concepts, for sharing me with your concerns to do well, and most importantly having your grades improved that really bring a smile to me even when i am sad or frustrated.
Most importantly, thank you for your wishes. I won't forget Wei Hern and Chi Hern's mum for being so understanding (commented by Lionel as well) and accomodating all the timing changes; I won't forget how Bronn (my only P6 kid cos aik joon passed to me) would always come up to me and get me to do some funny actions with him; I won't forget the times with Lianna where I really saw the determination in a gal really desiring to do well for her exams...
Thank you tutees! You have been a joy to teach!
thank you for bringing me memories...

Sometimes I just wonder...
what has been pushing me all along against the currents...
when it would have really been easy to just back out...
but when I realise everything is just a matter of mind games,
I smile
I smile,
not just because I have persevered,
not only because I have grown through the experiences,
not merely because I have understood more about more
but because you have impacted my life.
And there I smile,
thinking of the good times that we had...
laughing at the blooper moments where we ran into...
ringing in my mind the dreams that we had....
and these are moments that i will never forget
thank you for bringing me memories...
