Oh my. yesterday.. was a day I would never forget. It started with a hearty breakfast and a quick practice session of the song that we would be singing during farewell assembly. The words are really touching. I am sure the kids would be moved. I am already feeling so sad.. sigh.
Then I went to class. My monkey of a class had something up their sleeves. When I entered the class, all of them were there, waiting for me. The classroom was beautifully decorated and there was a huge cake in the middle of the classroom. Wow!! The class also made me an enormous card! I loved it! I was so touched when I read it. Yes I have made an impact in their lives. I am so pleased. Sometimes it really feels good to feel appreciated and loved. And yes I love them very much too.. they must have felt it too.
I presented them with my last gift for them- a compilation of quotes that they can read when they need a boost!!! I broke down when I gave out the handouts. I could not help it. We have been through so much.. unmotivated class, zero class spirit, fights, smoking, theft case, cheating, complaints from all teachers, and yet look at them now... They have all grown up.. more mature and sensible and yes to quote Azlinah.. they are loving one another more.. less hurtful words.. more love.. I am so proud of them.
Next was the prize presentation for the special people in my class.I gave out certificates and presents which I have specially chosen for them. Most Caring- Aminah. Most Helpful - Boon Wee, Most Creative- Sok Zhen, Most Improved- Darren, Most Humorous- Eryang, Best Team Player- Gordon, Most Punctual- Irfan, Most Responsible- Wen Hui, Most Pleasant and Most Diligent- ZOLENE.. No kelongs ok.. my class voted for the winners.. i just tallied the votes!
Then we had a grand feast of pizza and yummy mashmellows. Thanks for everything 5B.. Mr Liu and I really appreciate all that you have done.. Really sweet and nice of you.
We had to adjourn to the hall soon. When it was time to go on stage to sing, I started off okay but when it came to the chorus(I hope you know somebody loves you And wants the same things too) I could not stop the tears from flowing. I was choking so badly that I couldn't sing. When I looked into the audience and saw my pupils, Er Yang, Melvin, Aminah, Yilin looking up at me, I had to look away.. If not I will cry even more.
The video presentations were also very moving with all the well-wishes.Our student rep, Wei Li and Sam also spoke very well. My pupils told me they cried when they watched my video...yeah.. I am happy it touched them.
Then the final walk down the red carpet. Usually, I will only hug people I love and I never hug boys. This year, I hugged all of them. They are just too special and they mean so much to me. I will really miss them.. all the camaraderie we share in class, all the support and encouragement we give to one another. I will miss them. Tears flowed freely. I know they will miss the school and their classmates. They have been through so much together.
I went home, still high from the ceremony but I had a terrible headache. After popping two panadol, I went to bed and only woke up at 8.30pm. My hubby came back and I told him that I wanted to join my class at Chomp Chomp. I would have dinner with him first then I would meet my class.
I was given a Hero's welcome when I reached chomp chomp *blush blush* After dinner, we went to Dessert Bowl, a nice place at Serangoon Gardens, There, we played a cool action game that got everyone in stiches!! We laughed so hard. All who lost must do a forfeit- Truth or Dare. We had so much fun. I am really glad I came. Er Yang was so hilarious. He really deserves the Most Humorous Award. Yi Lin was super cute and Jing Da.. well He is so LUCKY!!!! not only once but twice... he was... kissed!!!! hahahha
What a day!!! I went home super happy.. super high!
