It's time to say 'goodbye'....

After two(some of you, three) long years of sweat, blood, tears and laughter, it is time to release my 'baby turtles' to the sea..
Firstly, I want to thank each and everyone of you in 5 Zuhrah, for allowing me to come into your life, to share your ups and downs...thank you also for listening to my 'two-cents' worth of advice, thanks for listening to my nonsense too and laughing at the correct moments. Through my years with you, I have also grown (older), learn and unlearn and overall, tried to be a better teacher.
I will remember.......

Prevena, the ever vigilant and hardworking one, thanks for your help in running the English Society and all the other little projects.
Patrick, another gem of the class, who is never tardy in helping teachers, thanks for your support.
Yih Soon, the quiet one who will one day blossom into all you are meant to be, thanks for being you and for always trying to improve...
Syifa, another talented one, I marvel at how you have grown, both in English as well as in maturity and I hope you will continue to stay open-minded and be strong at whatever life throws at you....you gonna make it....
Thamayanthy, the ever hardworking and determined gem....who smiles sweetly even if she disagrees with me...hee hee...
Kit Yin, another sweet and fun girl...your determination will get you to the top
Saidatul, the ever sweet talented and helpful girl who is just waiting to be free.....

khoasheliya....what can i say? sorry for making you the butt of my jokes sometimes, but you took it all in stride...it has been great to see you grow and change into a lovely young woman...
sharmini, you have tried hard to belong and i think you have succeeded...work hard
amira rahim, get healthy and work hard, husna, your quiet and unassuming ways are not a weakness but a strength....
