To me; one of the greatest sins in the world, is not to acknowledge someone who has in any way big or small helped you grow as a person and given you opportunities to prove and improve yourself.
I feel like a horrible sinner.
I hate myself for never saying ThankYou.
And i'd thought i'd give my teachers' day presents and letters during graduation. I didnt think that i'll never be able to give you one.
You know, this is what happens when your world starts to revolve arounds studying-
you tend to forget the more important things in life.

Mrs Ng,
I'm sorry i never got to tell you this face to face.
And i know a sorry cannot turn back time.
Thankyou for everything, Mrs Ng.
I'll remember the day i asked for permission to join EL as a transfer from handbell.
I'll remember talking to you outside the staff room. I'll remember your emails on catering of food, getting the number of vegetarians etc. I'll remember the time you told me and vidhya that we were to be MCs for last year's sports day and the look on your face when you asked if its okay with us and when you apologised for the late information. I'll remember sitting beside you and learning what to say over the microphone from you. And i remember asking you if you wanted a banana while, you were helping us with the collation of results. And i'll also remember the time you praised us. When i said the campaigning speech for el exco, i remember you sitting on the chair behind and i couldnt help but stare at you half the time.
I'll also remember when you congratulated me regarding the HPC nomination.
I'll remember the look on your face.

Mrs Ng, I sincerely thank you for all the opportunities you gave me and i'm sorry if I'd ever caused you any trouble.
I never got to say, Thankyou for allowing me to join EL and for giving me a chance to be in the Executive Committee of ELDDS. It gave me some of the most treasured memories and definitely expanded my potential.

I believe in a place called heaven and if i ever go there someday, I'll say my thankyou and sorry personally.

I pray for the best for you and your family.

I remember your lively face so clearly, that when i saw you lying there something just engulfed me. It was a feeling i'd never felt before. I couldnt stop the tears. I'd wanted so badly not to cry. At least, not near the family members. But, i could do nothing to stop it.
The image keeps flashing in my head. You're with god and i'm glad for you that you're in a better place called heaven.
I guess, it was then and there that it really sank in.

Today, exco went back to school. I've never in my 4 years in cedar, heard a morning assembly that was more quiet than this. I'd felt the cedar spirit at national T&F, but the cedar spirit i felt today was something totally different and something i didnt expect at all.
I'm proud to be cedarian.

"... and may we always be to you as fellow cedarians a family always there,
to be strong and to lean on."
