Dearest team,
As you are reading these lines, I have set my footsteps to a new chapter of my life. I am embarking on my new journey, leaving behind thousands (if not millions) of memories in Taylors. Blatantly true, 9 months could be a while to some. But to me, 9 months have given me a lot of things to be cherished. Only now I have realised that, it doesn’t really matter how long u have spent ur time but how do u spend it matters the most. Indeed, God has destined our paths would only crossed for da past nine months, and I am now departing wif all of your blessings and prayers.
The great legendary Shakespeare I am not, but my sincere words dats spelled out from my lips are the truthful thoughts that I am thinking about you. Hence, these aren’t powerful words as E=mc2, but simply mean a lot to me. If I have a bunch of prezzies sealed off wif a red silver lining ribbon to everyone, dat wudnt even equalise how much I thank you for your presence once in my life.
I will now take this stage to give my profoundest expressions of gratitude to all of the lovely people who wished me, texted me, and sent cards on my farewell.
Mrs Hoe, Mrs Quek and Miss Prema,
Thank you from da bottom of me heart, since da first day we met. Also your patience in tolerating my ‘hard-to-adjust’ persistence is much appreciated.

Miss Kwa,
Our Awana memories will remain forever. We are da black team yeah. BLACK IS FINE BLACK IS MINE.

It’s a relief to know dat someone is actually having da same thinking like you. and u are da one. We both enjoyed ourselves sharing da same (gila gila) idea, keep on rocking our lifes as it is too short for a tear.
Sidney,
My partner in crime. I like the way u approach ur current employment. And believe you me, u will treasure nothing else in dis world but da only son of urs.
Mr Yap Chemistry,
My life-saver, my rescuer. I dunno how am I gonna make it without u. and I wud like to apologise shud it became a troublesome for u dat day. Gunung Nuang allows us to know each other more rather than in da office. How true.

Miss Cheang,
Even though we talked less, but I know dat u r a nice person to befriend with and a gud teacher to ur students.

David,
I hope u will find yourself enjoyable with us. Students are always students and we were once a student before. And im sure we share da same wavelength wif them, they will treat us more than as a teacher.
Isabelle,
Ur nice and humble way-of-going clearly reflects on how ur religion has taught you. I can see a complete Christianity reflection in you as u demonstrate it all in your personality. Keep it up. U are born as an angel to the mankind.
Mr Woon,
Never give up Mr Woon. Da only reason why we keep on breathing is becuz we will keep on fighting. Don’t be afraid of others becuz u know wat u actually deserved for and wats da best for u
Mrs Banu,
I gonna miss your advices ur laughs, ur companionship and all. U are such a nice lady banu and I know ur daughters will always appreciate wat u have done to them.
Mrs Yapp,
Ur smile and ‘coolness’ are da facts dat keep you young and pretty. Dun loose them cuz even students can see those in your daily appearance.
Fui2,
Later I teach u new techniques ok. Do u still remember da old ones? LOL
Logesh,
Again, sorry for disturbing ur class the other day. P3 and me were over-reacted on da things we discussed and cant resist from having a big woooooooo.
Puan (Dr) Nor.
Ada barang tak? Hehe .we’ll definitely be in touch ok. We will meet and eat eat and eat. Cuz we both know how fortunate a human to eat what has God granted to us
Madhavan
There are so many to thank. But u guys r da greatest peeps in da world and potentially be da world class academics.-fingers crossed-
Judith,
Sokay dear. Take a pause here in taylors and im sure u will find you path soon. Dun rush because u are still young to figure wats da best for u. I was in dat situation too and I have overcame it.
Audrey,
Please take care of P3 for me. they are not a troublemaker. Its just dat they need someone to listen and to acknowledge their problems. And im sure u can do dat (considering ur position as Psycho lecturer)
Juliane,
U rock babe. Students will enjoy ur ‘coolness’ I bet. Take care of urself
Da rest of the White Roomers,
Im sorry da fact dat only little time spent in knowing you, i cant write much. My bad. Im sure shud I have more time given, I want to know all of u better. But hey, sometimes, we will know each other more out of employment attachment. And I believe dat we will somehow meet in near future.
To those I have missed out, dat doesn’t make u less special than above. I probably missed out your name due to the urgency of sending this email. U will still fondly remain in my remembrance and forever will never be forgotten. I am sorry should this email contains a lot of discrepancies, mistakes (especially grammatical errors and spelling … and I bet Miss Ng isn’t happy with this) and all, this is just the way of my creative writing when suddenly things cross my mind.
Those memories will fade never, as it will makes us feel stronger. I am thanking the Lord Almighty for His mercy and clemency beyond all compare for letting me to be once, be part of the team. Even I am now leaving and beginning a new chapter in my life, you will always be in my mind and in my heart. Believe you me, whether u have achieved success or encountered failures in your life, u always have a place to stay in my heart and in my mind.
Till we meet again,
