My Choir Alumni came back today... I really missed them... I think I had two years of really good and easy time, having committee members who can auto-run, having minds that really click that we can complement each other on the spot. Their enthusiasm and hyper-ness has really pulled me through hard times, and gave me the passion to drive myself to give all out to these ppl. I made it a point to make them cry during their ROD. Didn't succeed the first year, but the second batch was a success. I know they'll miss the choir as much as I'll miss them. Even now, when I'm feeling lifeless or drained out, I'll watch the videos I did for them to recharge myself.

When my first batch of students left, I managed to convince myself that students come and go, they get on in life, I'll get on too. And it's not that I'll never see them again. I got over it. I still see them once in a while, and I'm satisfied.

Next year, the students who are closest to me won't be coming back. Some have joked about how I'll miss them when they're not around. Indeed, I have thought about that. It will not be the same, that's for sure. I WILL miss them. No more hugs, no more teasing and jokes, no more hi's along the corridor, no more 'niang' and 'mum' (except one), no more complains, no more funny stories that happen in class, no more shoulder massage... and the list goes on.

So I guess a big portion of my life in school is going to be missing... They won't be missing from my life, that's for sure... just missing from school life... which is already quite a huge missing piece. Seriously, I don't know how it'll be without u ppl. Next year is a busy year... With my ready made cheerleaders and listening ears gone... There have been instance that I feel that I'm losing passion and drive. I'm trying very hard to find it back. I cant even imagine the day that teaching is not part of my life. I've never thought of that at all... not even once...

I'll fill up the missing parts... somehow... hopefully not with more work. But I think they'll be around... just hope that I can find them easily...

But I promised that when they're old enough, go out to work and have enough money, I'll bring them overseas... I know that's a lot of conditions to fulfil... but going overseas need money ah...
and I want them to be old enough, so I won't feel like bringing little children ard.

Anyway, I heard this song in Tampines today. Don't know where it came from, whether it was played from a shop, thru radio or cd, or just suddenly came to my mind. I remembered this was the song my batch sang during Grad Nite for our band seniors, when we were in Sec 3.
Lovely song... for all my graduating students
