This post is dedicated to the late cai lao shi and auntie pauline~

hey to all the ex-mgs pri girls, cai laoshi's wake is at 82 shelford road, tonight, sat

night and sunday night.

i rmb cai laoshi as a really kind-hearted chinese teacher when i was p.4.

i topped the class for chinese(i noe, unbelievable rite?)

so she decided to reward me for it. i still have the present, i rmb, i was super

happy tt day.

when i came into secondary sch, mrs low reminded

me of cai laoshi. i dunno y, and im not kidding.

seriously. they just look a little alike i guess.

but all in all, cai laoshi was the best chinese teacher

i ever had in primary sch.

she passed away on 29th may 2007.

May she rest in peace.

As for auntie pauline? i had many memories of her.

she was my best fren's mom. how could i ever forget her?

i used to confide in her secrets i dont have the guts to tell my mom.

my most prominent memory of her was when i went to gaby's house.

well, i cant rmb all of it..but.

she was really caring and all that..

she even gave me my first "branded" bag.

well, if u consider addidas "branded" hehe.

and she gave me a prettaye dress from holland V

yeah. well, to a child of 9, i guess that meant alot to me.

she brought me and gaby swimming too.

and she even got me this pipe thingy thing thing,

which was meant as a float i guess.

(it was e "in" thing then)

she was kinda like a second mom to me.

and gaby looked alot like her..

now, i feel a sense of regret.

you see, when i was 12,

there was a huge misunderstanding between me and gaby..

so we kinda stoped talking.

but we both still were in choir den,

and we had a performance at raffles..

so okay, i was pretty happy with my new group of frens..

but i still completely ignored gaby..

and i guess, i was so angry, tt i even ignored her mom.

so the last i saw of auntie pauline..

was me giving her an angry look, while her face etched sadness

and a message of confusion.

i could read her thoughts

" why?"

but wad cld i've done?

gaby dint tell me about her mom.

but i guess it was because i dint give her a chance to.

auntie pauline was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2005.

exactly when i was 12.

she passed away this yr, 3rd feb.

May she rest in peace.

take care dears
