Never easy to say

It was a lot harder than I thought.

I wanted to break the news to my beloved pupils in the Concourse yesterday afternoon, after the camp. I wanted to stay poised and calm.

But once I started, I struggled to keep my train of thoughts and found it hard to speak coherently.

Suddenly I realised that I was going to miss them.

I did not know what else to say.

To Mr Ng-We didn't expect this to happen. Whatever it is we want you to know that you are like a FATHER to all the PLs and we want to thank you for always being there for us. But now that yuo are leaving,it'll never be the same again. Take Care MR Ng.

Yes, we didn't expect this to happened at all. None of us were mentally prepared.You're a great teacher or perhaps a father to us. Without fail, you will always lend us your helping hand. And i am sure that all the peer leaders/seniors are grateful for that.Things will never be the same but i am sure the peer leaders spirit will still go on! All the best to you, take care!

Mr Ng,
It's really sad to hear that and i bet that none of us expected this to happen. But it will be great if we were able to see you again soon.
And thank for the things that you had teaches us and it will be remembered always.

You're leaving? to where?

i know that you're one of the very rare teachers i come across. someone who really work differently compared to other teachers, and i respect you.

i was even more convinced on what kind of a teacher you are when i took your place for 2 weeks ( during your reservist days ) just by looking at the books you read ( i managed to pull out some books to read from ur table ). i love my 2 weeks stay there, reading up all the nice knowledge books you have.

in every institution / study place that i go too, i never fail to find one educator just like you, one who thinks differently on how to bring the best out of the students. it's all about making a life, not making a living when it comes to teaching.

Mr Ng, you've been great and in case I haven't tell you, you are one of a kind in this teaching industry ( gosh, i dun say this very often but u deserve it ). eventhough you've never taught me before, but i know how you work. you've been nothing but great. thank you for being part of FJSS.

Hi Mr Ng,

"Change is the only thing constant" - something in which I've learned ever since stepping out of Fjss and under your wing of guidance.

I would like to let you know that you've set a certain benchmark for all the peer leaders in fjss and even for myself personally.

Sometimes, when I look back at my training days as a PL trainee, I compare to myself now and think of the changes time brought, most certainly you're one of the fatherly figures(like mr kiasu have said), that have groomed every one of us to whom we are today.

"Don't cry because its over, Smile because it happened :) "

Cheers and All The Best Mr Ng !

*maybe we'll just bump into each other someday and become colleagues? who knows :)
