there is nothing in your power you can do to stop that from happening. You'd think that one day you would get used to it, for people are always GOING sometime or another, but you never do. It is NEVER easy to accept that... loss. It is never easy to go on with such a change.
Today was pn loo's last day in our school, shes leaving to saudi arabia. Truth is, i wasnt really affected by the news at all (before that when she just announced, i mean). I never pay attention in her class, and i hate to admit this, but she wasnt my favourite teacher either (mr kean mr kean mr kean ROCKS! XD). I never taken the time to actually talk to her or anything, and so there wasnt actually much BOND between us. However, i was genuinely surprised at how i felt, all the feelings that welled up today...
She came into the class and took pictures with all the students. Students divided into groups to take pictures. After that Joyee made us all settle down, and he recited a poem he had written for teacher. Oh God, you should have heard it. It was beautiful, so touching. Tears were welling up in his and teacher's eyes. and some of the students had already started with the waterworks. I, myself felt really moved by it, but not enough to have made me really cry. After that, chia lit sang in front of the class. I've never heard him sing before, we ALL thought he was going to simply sing as a joke. But he DIDNT. gosh, he sounded great. =) i was pleasantly surprised at how well he could sing. it was like, WHOA, sudden realisation. Li Ying and Jung Hao went in front of the class, representing the 'LAZY PEOPLE', apologising for all the times 'we' didnt pay attention and all. A few other students did the same. It was all so sweet.
After that, michelle gave teacher an album that she had put together in the past few days. The album consisted of notes from each and everyone of the students in my class and also photographs of the students. Some of the students in the class also share money to buy presents for teacher. really pretty earrings and expensive watch. XD whoa!! could see teacher was really touched by all the sweet gestures la. hehe...
we then all got up and sang auld lang syne for more than 4 times. Over and over and over with joyee as a lead as teacher went around class hugging each one of us. Lots of people just got caught up in the moment, and they couldnt help themselves but cry. Teacher started crying too. Everyone mumbled their 'take care's and 'i love you's. The whole scene was so.. sad and happy at the same time... i found myself smiling, yet feeling rather heavy inside. encouraged by joyee's 'SING LOUDER', i sang and sang and... singing was pretty fun. =p Oh yeah, before that teacher also gave a speech. It was so sad, cuz at one point she went like, okay i cant say anymore because she was about to burst into tears. But we went like 'TEACHER DONT STOP, GO ON' and so she went on, saying things, and gossshhh... SO SAD LAR!! To think that was the last time we are ever going to hear her say anything to us again. Her wise advices. Its so awful that THAT was the last time we were ever going to see her EVER AGAIN.
Pn Loo is so motherly. she went to all the crying to students and took them into her arms, holding them. gosh. I CANT BELIEVE THAT WAS REALLY THE LAST TIME SEEING HER. like TRULY. gosh.
