Farewell Khing Ming

Three years ago, when I first get the news that I was posted to Kuala Kubu Bharu, I was very worried and sad. I always think of my hometown and my mom when I am in KKB. It never occurred to me that, I will feel quite sad to leave KKB and it did not occurred to me at all that I will miss Khing Ming and all my fellow teachers and Headmistress if i ever get the chance to transfer back to my beloved home town....

16th of Nov will be one of the most unforgettable day in my life, cause that was the graduation day for my year 6 students and also a surprised farewell day for me... I felt happy and sad beyond words on that day, I really felt grand and honoured that day. I was asked to give a farewell speech (which I was told earlier by my friends but I did not bother to prepare cause I thought it was just a joke) in front of the entire school and VIP. Luckily I manage to give a speech spontaneously (Of cause not a good one la but can do la, I supposed).

Here are some of the moments that I managed to capture on my camera...

Kamal, me and Suliana (Suliana will be transferred back to Kelumpang next year too)

My Sweet Dear Plum. Sweet Heart Chrispy and Darling Lemon.... this photo make me wanna cry.....

I love this picture cause this is the only time my Dearest Dear smile to the camera. I will miss my DD very much....

My SH Chrispy.... I will miss her smile and..... her laughter very much..........

My SD Plum.... I am really sad to leave her.... she is really my good friend.

My PK 1, me and our guru pemulihan Ms. Lim

Hehehehehe! food........

The year six pupils singing "Auld lang syne" and a few Chinese songs....

My HM and me... She is kind enough to let me transfer.... A real dedicated lady.

Me feeling nervous giving a speech in front of the whole school.

My 'Boss' PK 3.... a very pleasant and kind lady... I will miss her too...

I WILL MISS ALL OF YOU MY DEAREST FRIENDS...

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER....

Can you believe, the last event on that day was this slide show done especially for me by my SH and DD with the help of my PK 3...

When the emcee announced that they are going to put up a slide show especially for me, I was really surprised.... I really did not know that my SH has secretly plan this for me as a surprise I really felt touched... (No wonder la she was asking for my graduation photos and keep on searching for photos in my hard disc a few days ago.... I thought she was searching for her own photos that we took the other day)

The I first saw the photos on the big LCD screen I was like " Oh My God!!!!!!!! I am going to KILL you TCC!!!!"' so embarrassed la my old pictures was shown to the entire school la... my students!!!!!!!!! and their parents!!!!!!! GB and other teachers some more!!!!!!!!!

Some Thoughts to Share....

My mood was quite down these few weeks... life like always has been stressful and full of fun at the same time. In another 4 days, I will know my fate..... whether to get transfer back to my hometown or to stay in my so called 'detention camp' for another year or more..... I am a bit uncertain now.... I am a bit worried and anxious at the same time.

How will I feet if I get transfer back to my hometown? Will I be happy then? Is my choice right? Will I regret it for the rest of my life?

And what if I did not get my transfer? How will I feel? Of cause I will feel disappointed but will it be better if I get my transfer out of KKB? Is my choice of asking for transferring right or wrong? Do I make a right choice by asking for a transfer?

All these uncertainties keep on bugging me ever since I pass up my transfer form and it sort of make me feel a bit down.

But yesterday night as I was browsing the star online (Yes, I do read newspaper ok!) I come across this news about the 3 UTAR students that were drowned in Kampar. Somehow or rather I was quite interested to follow this news so I read the update and follow the bottom link and be a kaypo and found myself here. I really felt motivated and inspired after reading that post especially this particular part which says....

be responsible for the choice that we have make,
it is our own choice,
just don't blame anything around us,
we can choose to be depressed or to be motivated..
is depends on your own choice...
not others..
what happen, happened..
be strong and face it..

I don't know why but these words really knock my brain and wake me up to reality.... I know that whatever choice that I make, I must not regret and be responsible for it in the future, I must be strong to face it be satisfied and thankful rather then to blame others or myself for the outcome.

The incident that happened to the 3 of them were really tragic and sad but there are lessons that we can learn from the incident... Life is certain.... but are you 100% sure that you will breathe again tomorrow? Live your life to the fullest.... don't keep on worrying about the future or about the choice we make in life.

PS: RIP James Khor, althought I never know you but thanks for your beautiful poem (Eeerrr.... is a poem, isn't it?)
