WEILEE(:

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

I bet many of you havent been checking your DHS mail. Well, you should really go check it out right now because our dearest Mr Swee sent us an email. The farewell email he was telling us that day yea. You can ignore the other emails BUT Mr Swee's email is a must to read. Go read it now.

Reading his email again makes me reminisce the days with him as our LA teacher. I miss all his self-praises and his singing, his effort put into teaching us and his long comments on our scripts, his stories which are not related to LA and his jokes. I thoroughly enjoyed LA lessons with him and I cant imagine having Ms Kheng back into class. I dont mean anything, just that Mr Swee is a really wonderful teacher.

And then there was that memorable night when all of us went to watch Much Ado About Nothing at Fort Canning Park. He sat next to us and constantly explained the plot to us just so we understand and could appreciate. During the intermission, Bellancans surrounded Mr Swee and started singing to him. We gave him the cake, the scrapbook and all our love. We embarrassed him in front of everyone else, but I know he appreciated it anyway.

Mr Swee cant possibly be seeing this but still, a bigggg thank you to you, Mr Swee! You've taught us so much that we just cant thank you enough. You are the best LA teacher ever. Let's just hope that we dont rebel Ms Kheng when she comes back!

(I've got lots of Swee's pictures in hand but Swee insisted to see the pictures before I upload. Keep coming back to this post for updates!)

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
