Happy Retirement
woke up surprisingly early today.just to pack some old stuffs,preparing to throw them away.[wonder how long can i take to throw all of them]
went for Mrs Ho farewell ceremony at 5 30.[with xh,zy,lim and john]first was the ride on the trishaw down the man-made memory lane.then was the welcoming by lion dance.after the speech by Mrs Ho,[bilingual as usual]there's a short video presentation of her past teaching experiences.[with all the well-wishes from her colleages as well]following up was a series of performance by students and teachers as well.[most of the teachers sing quite well.especially Ms lin zhong yan~]some can join the music industry if they are tired of teaching.there are afew speeches in situ.[by some ex-students]finale item was the bad with the newly modified school song.heard that the school song is changing next year.i suppose this is the lyrics of the new school song.....
The Wind Beneath My Wings
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine,that's your way,
you always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name -- for so long,
a beautiful smile to hide the pain.
CHORUS:
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it,
I would be nothing without you.
(CHORUS)
Fly,fly,fly away,
you let me fly so high.
Oh,fly,fly,
so high against the sky,so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you,thank you,thank God for you,
the wind beneath my wings.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine,that's your way,
you always walked a step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name -- for so long,
a beautiful smile to hide the pain.
CHORUS:
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it,
I would be nothing without you.
(CHORUS)
Fly,fly,fly away,
you let me fly so high.
Oh,fly,fly,
so high against the sky,so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you,thank you,thank God for you,
the wind beneath my wings.
but then after looking at the last sentence,my doubt was quite true.but if this was not the new school song,then why was the lyrics printed on the programme sheet?[beats me]
we helped ourselves for the refreshments at the canteen.[that's our dinner though]but variety was minimal and the taste was mediocre.[hate it when i choose the wrong curry puff.cause there's one with potatoes and the other chicken with onions.dislike onions by the way]chatted a while with Mrs Ho and took a picture with her.[we have to take down the contact of the photograper to send us the photo.lol]there's still a-close-to-inexhaustible amount of leftovers.[why didn't i take away... ...]
went to meet up with Mr Jeremy Ng at J8 swensen.[didn't expect he would join us for dessert]saw him with someone.[shall not disclose the identity of the person.pm me if you would like to know.lol]ordered two topless 5 and a set of french fries.[didn't expect that he would treat us too.wooo~]chit-chat about some stuffs.was chased[in a polite manner]by the waitress as the restaurant was closing.so we stood outside to chat for a little longer.think we'll be having another meal together on Wednesday.[hopefully he'll treat us all~jkjk.lol]
