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.....
Najihah, the helpful one who can be very sensible sometimes but sometimes...
Izzatul, the thoughtful one who has a lot to say but never got around to voicing it in class, I hear you and Iunderstand...
Hidayah, the newbie who quickly adjusted to life in DZ...
Hannah, the one who has 'verbal diarrhoea' all the time...thanks for being part of us even tho you drive us up the wall at times....

maizatul, lacking in confidence sometimes but never lacking in ideas and ambitions...
hafiz, the handsome one who drives the girls crazy....i am glad you got over your shyness
amir, the ever-smiling, obliging one....don't worry about the grammar, keep trying...
syami....the catching-up one....sorry for coming after you all the time, if only you were around more...
syamira, the faithful monitor, quiet and unassuming but ever-talented....will miss your quiet strength and support
amalina, the unassuming and gentle friend, and asni, the sweet athlete, you have been great supporters
rubaa , the obliging and sweet thing, be more confident and have faith that you are going to make it...
manimala, your humility will take you far, and you will make a good teacher if you ever want it...
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....
khairani and effa, the ever sweet and obliging ones....work harder and be more focussed...
