Even if we study to old age we shall not finish learning…
Chinese proverb
.
I was busy replying text messages these two days from my Class of November 2008 students. So far, more than ten of them has given me the good news. And I am truly sorry to one of them, Drift.
My mind is now focused to that unfortunate guy. I keep on wondering, where did I go wrong? 😦
And someone by the name of Yee Yan (?) texted me this evening, telling me she/he haven’t receive her/his ‘letter’ yet. And she/he asked me, what should she/he do…
I simply answered: “Look for a river with buaya (crocodile) in it, and jump…”
Dear me. See how brutal I am?
The thing is, firstly, I can’t recollect who Yee Yan is. I just hate the Chinese names. It’s not easy to remember. That was the reason of me giving my students Christian & the famous nick-names in class, so that I can remember who is who. I will never forget my ‘Ti Lung” and ‘Bruce Lee’. Secondly, the only Chinese name that I will never forget is Han See Fong… Hehehe…
To Yee Jan, just be patient. I think your ‘sukacita’ letter is on the way… 🙂

Is it Yee Yan or Yee Jan, cikgu? If is Yee Jan, I think she is the UBDian girl stand in the front row far right.
I may be wrong. Hahaha!
I’m not sure who he/she is bro… I always remember
my students with their nick or christian names. Hehehe…
Cikgu maybe is menantu ah
Ya, I remembered her now Drift… Thank you… 🙂
Cikgu, Yee Jan is your “menantu” lah!
You lupa her already kah?
How can like that?
…. You always call her “Yan” that’s why you don’t know who “Yee Jan” is.
Aiyoh… I ask my daughter in-law to look for river with crocodile and jump… I’m really a bad father in-law…
Sorry Yan… Hehehe…
Russell Peters joked about his father, “If I get rid of one, I’ll make another one” So on that note, nevermind, you have a couple of “menantu” from Class of May 2009 😉
Never mind menantu. Besan now. I honestly welcome you to be my ‘besan’ Jan… I have a very nice 14 yrs old son 🙂
:O Must consider the delicate feelings of my class “partner” Vincent (Canon) 😉
About Vincent the CANON, I will give him his ‘good’ news if he present me the 600mm lens during the upcoming Fathers Day… Hahaha…
He 0168 and you 0207. Still long time mah… Still can pray many many… 🙂
Father’s Day huh? Time for a super strong hint .. I have in mind a certain Canon item I don’t mind receiving. It’s much less than a 600mm 🙂
Jan, lets celebrate the Father’s Day earlier, thi s Firiday during our bbq & we change presents. I give you your list wish, you give me mine… Hahaha…
Not the catalogue ya 🙂
Why me NENEK?
Just to get you reply here… Hehehe… Ok, nenek sayang? 🙂
Cikgu, I haven thank u yet…just got back from Macau not long ago..Terima Kasih banyak banyak~!
Finish your quarantine period allready? You have extra Macau keychain to add to my collection?
“12. Shie Ying (?) I remember American Idol, she sings, she sings… hehehe…”
Hahahaa.. Cikgu. this is so funny..it made me laugh so hard. really miss your class a lot.
Cikgu, CheeYON and YAWN is the same person. and MONEY passed as well..
Oh! Okay… Thank you for the info Eddie. Now, who is MONEY again… Too many students, can not remember all of them now, especially those who never have contact with me…
She sings… she sings… (I missed you all too Eddie…)
