Goodbye to my K2s...

As this new term starts at my work place, i was somewhat not very enthusiastic about it.
Upon seeing my K2s or rather my ex-students, my heart gave a funny lurch.

I felt sad when i saw them entering the K2 classroom and I was in the PG/N1 class. I didn't even look at them in the morning when i took the PG/N1s away to wash hands. The bond between me and the PG/N1 is missing as this is the 1st time i took them. I had already felt unhappy even during spring cleaning because of my 2 partners and the way they work. I just kept quiet.

The whole day i couldn't help but worry abt my remaining students in Jo and Ke's class - Alicia, Faith, Meredith, Justin, Russell, Hao Ze, Ho Ping and Lucius. I talked to Russell briefly and later Justin, Alicia Faith and Meredith and it was great to talk to them. They still greet me cheerfully as usual and I had a extremely hard time keeping my voice at a neutral tone.

At the end of the day, when i was packing my things at my cupboard, Meredith and Faith kept shuttling and giggling behind me at the glass door parting the PG/N1 class and the K1/2 class. Meredith even asked me why i was no longer in the K2 class. Tears just welled up and i had to fight valiantly to control them. The bond between me and my K2s is strong and i've seen how they had grown and progressed and improved sicne Jul 2007 last year till Nov this year.

I really, really miss them terribly and i treasure the times since last year when they are in K1 and i believe that the memories will hold me forever. I'll treasure the remaining times we have left in school and Teacher Ching Mei will keep you in my heart...
