We'll be missing him..

So after a long long time, finally I could meet up with my old frens!! Well all of us gathered for Mr Chu, our maths teacher who just retired recently, as in on 23/4/08. We sure r a lucky lucky lucky bunch to be d last batch tat he taught. Hopefully we've made him proud n summarized his teachin career on a good note.
So venue for our gathering, a place of nice scenery, good surrounding(according to a few reliable sources) is Chardin Seaview Restaurant. It's been quite sometime since I last went there, cos d food there can be quite pricey. Without blabbin on n on n on about the gathering, let's have d pictures do d talking. Cos as izzy wizzy said, pictures speaks louder than words.

Here's Soh Yee presenting our retirement gift to Mr Chu

The F4 wannabe.. wakakaka..

Here we have (l-r) Jun Xing, Soh Yee, Nies n Lu Yee

What's install in our menu? Let's c...

Next up, Kong Poh Chicken.. It was oookay la..

Then we had Thai chicken.. Tis was ookay oso la..

Wat else? veggie of cos to balance up our meal..

Up next we had fish.. Sweet n sour fish.. but it was a lil fishy in taste..

Tauhu wit mince chicken meat..

Actually there was still one more item i din manage to catch it on film. That'll be d butter prawns. D oat flakes was nice though it was kinda tricky peeling d shell off.

After dinner we chatted on n on as if we hadn't seen each other in ages(it does seem like tat though). We caught up with wat each n every1 of us had been doin. Thinking back last year tis time we were studyin our ass off to ace our examination. Now it just seem like so long time ago! Hahaha... After we finally stopped chit chatting it was picture time! Here's a few photos we managed to capture......

After photography session, we had our cake cutting ceremony. The cake we had?

then cutting his cakes..
Popping the sparkling juice!

Then we indulge in our cakes as well as did our rounds of 'yam seng' cheers-ing for our future.. traditio, tradition.. We even made Mr Chu take out d candle using his mouth from d cake! Hahahaha.. As sporting as ever, Mr Chu really did it! Mrs Chu too were so sporting, played along with our plan of having her feed Mr Chu the birthday cake. Both of them are so nice. Another round of chit chatting n a lil acapella karaoke(mostly by me) we said our good byes and parted ways..

Meeting up with old friends really stirred up lots n lots of memories back in form six. Thinking back it seems like yesterday I just finished SPM. It has been 3 years already? Time sure flies. Comin into form 6 i admit i had my doubts. But now I'm leaving with no regrets. I've made so many priceless friendships; Gained so much experiences such as being tortured in school(I did!), having teachers giving u such a hard time u could hardly breathe, being squashed by mountains and mountains of job(wow I'm saying as if form 6 is a ruthless boot camp! mayb it is.. hehehe);Learnt not to crack under pressure; Learnt to study my ass off everyday(actually more like playing every single day.. eh! not playing my ass off k?); Learnt to sleep an average of 5 hours a day and still have energy to crawl out the bed at 6 in the morning to go to school! okay okay! i kno u get it..
But still it isn't that bad as i put it. My friends and teacher really really helped me a lot! One of them of cos is Mr Chu. He really helped not only me, but every single one of us. He kept pushing us, helping us to achieve the unachievable; always there for us whenever we needed him; never once complaint about how hard it is to teach us(we can be a restless bunch at times). All in he's really a great teacher, fantastic, fabulous in his own style. He always hold onto his principle of treating every student as equal, neva judging them by their background, always right on time for his classes(for real!). So his retirement is really a loss for the society now. It's really hard to find another teacher just like him.
Lastly, thank you so much Mr Chu! All you've done for us r really priceless n we appreciate it from the bottom of our heart. We'll miss you definitely~

Thank u Mr Chu!

Till then off to my comfy comfy bed.. awwww~ nite! muacks!
