Retracing Memory Lane














Went back for a one day presentation session at KDU on 9th july 2009. Managed to catch up with a few old friends and students along the way. The college environment is more vibrant now especially with all the display at the foyer. As for the fourth floor, only a few familiar faces, the rest were new students to me. I enjoyed the presentation whole day long, it reminded me of those teaching days again.
However, towards the end of the day when people start going home and the gallery became quieter and deserted, a kind of sadness enveloped me. In retrospect, our team has put in tremendous effort building up the school to its current status but we would have to leave it behind in the end due to certain circumstances. Over the years we have established emotional connection to the place where we educate and share our experience with students to the best of our ability. We once had burning desire to grow the school and everyone working towards the same vision and goal. It was indeed a memorable period in my career.
The day-long rain on Saturday reflected my mood and it further dampen my spirit at the same time. I guess that's the way things go, nothing is constant in this world and we will just have to learn to adapt to changes as they come along.
I sincerely wish everyone (lecturers and students) success in their future endeavours.

2nd Anniversary @ Minori Restaurant, Singapore



We celebrated our 2nd Anniversary in a simple manner at this Japanese restaurant at UE Square, Dhoby Ghaut. Atmosphere was good, not that crowded (which is a rare scene in Singapore) and the food was good. The only downside was that the salmon wasn't that fresh. Other than that, everything else was perfect!
