pap concert 07

i went to my ex-centre's year-end graduation cum concert yesterday. that, i would say was something i really look forward to...
as the show kicked off, i saw once of my kids i taught came out and spoke on behalf of all the 9 centres and i was so touched... *proud*

and when it's time for my children to dance, wow, i tell you, i was amazed... it was an eye-opener and everything was awesome... the choreography, the costume, the dancers, all very eligant... i almost cried lah~~~...

the theme of this concert was about the difference dances from different countries.. and my kids had china and japan... the others involved mexico, usa, korea, phillipines, thailand, malaysia and spain... it was really nice...

after the concert, i left the auditorium before the children were dismissed. upon reaching the top by stairs, someone called "teacher joey?" and reached out for a hand shake... i was like shaking her hand and then asked "you are...?" and she said "i'm yi loong's mother." i was so very happy lah! my dearest boy's mum... haha... and she said that her son was looking for me when they came. i was so happy he still remembers me... *touched* i then said i will wait outside for them..

i was strolling outside with refrestments on my hand when i saw Bertrand and his family walking towards the exit... he's also my dearest boy, or i should say monitor... i just felt the pain just by seeing him walk away from my sight... i couldnt help but to walk nearer and nearer when they walked further and further... but just then, the father noticed me... he told Bertrand and he waved... i tell you, involunteerily, i ran towards him, just like a lost kid who just found his father... i didnt run all the way to him... i stopped halfway and spread out my arms... there, he came over and we hugged... i was glad i didnt let this opportunity slipped away... i really miss him a lot...

here and there, i hugged many, received many comments that really warms my heart... and most importantly, my children did not forget me, though we havent kept in touch for almost 5 months plus... i really thank God for all these... unfortunately, i didnt get to see Elijah...

i only take photo with my dearest boy... i will never forget him, because his smile can make me forget all tragedies that happened... his smile can make me smile... his smile can melt my heart... i can see his smile even when i closes my eyes... thanks Yi Loong...

Teacher Joey loves you... always.
