WELCOME
When our time is up,
When our lives are done,
Will we say we've had our fun?
Will we make a mark,
This time.
Will we always say we tried.
Standing on the rooftops,
Everybody scream your heart out.

i got a huge shock last night when the fungi told me that cai lao shi just passed away. omggg she's barely even 55 and she's gone, just like that. i have no idea what caused her death but i am very very upset. she was my form teacher when i entered mg at primary 4.
i hated school when i was in st margs. why? cause i had such a shitty teacher who likes to abuse her students. she's fired by now. anyway when my father informed me that i was going to switch school, i was very nervous. what if the teachers in mg were as shitty as mrs haridas? the first day of school, i remember sitting at the back of the class, feeling very out of place. and in stepped this sweet looking lady with a bright smile. the minute i saw her smile, i felt comforted. i knew at once that she was nothing like that bitch, mrs haridas.
cai lao shi was a very caring, patient as well as fun-loving teacher. she was always there for me, encouraging me and making sure that i am comfortable in mg. her chinese lessons were also never boring cause she would tell us stories! because of her, i did well in chinese and believe it or not, chinese became my favorite subject. i still remember the time when i fell ill during assembly. it was those sort of feeling when you wanna puke but no matter how hard you try, nothing comes out. cai lao shi took great care of me. she rubbed my back and comforted me. when i was in the sick bay, i was groaning in pain and i made such a big fuss. alot of teachers in the staffroom came in to see what all the fuss was about. i remember cai lao shi holding my hands and whispering words of comfort. she stayed with me all the way till my dad came.
the last time i saw her was last year. i saw her eating by herself in the canteen and i went up to say hi and asked if she remembered me. she said she remembers my face but not my name. then she said i looked better now cause i wasnt so scrawny anymore and i looked healthier. i remember telling my friend that she aged alot. maybe since then, she was sick. i will really miss her alot. she was one of the best teachers and friend ever. you will always remain in my heart, cai lao shi. thank you for being such a great lao shi and making my first year in mg a memorable one. i love you lots!
