Subject: Emotions & Memories

Yo guys!

I am so sorry for my long absence from this message board. I guessed that there are some things I can't escape from.... the real world. Yup this is my virtual domain, my other life from reality. Really sorry I had to neglect it for a while.

Just for this message, I am going to discard my other two personas...Today it's just Aidah k?

As the moderator of the board, (yes the moderator as in Aidah, ok? Don't get confused here...) I have a responsibility to maintain my presence here.

I also have the responsibilty to ensure that people will post messages here regularly. I assumed these responsibilities the moment I decided to set up this board for ALL of us to keep in touch. I hate to say that I may have failed in this aspect but it's rather sad to see the amount of messages becoming slowly and slowly non-existent.

My aim for this message board was very simple. I wanted at least half the class to keep in touch with each other. I really hate when we meet or happen to run with each other on the street or school, we become so awkward and so strange when in fact we spent two years together back in TKGS.

I am not sure whether all of you still share my sentiments when I say Sec 4/3 (2000) was a special class. Is it wrong for me to use the past tense?

Is the class, wait... *OUR* class... IS it still special? Or *was* it special back 3 years ago?

Sigh.... I have no answer for that. You all still remember the touching email Ms Lee sent to us? I am happy to say I actually managed to recover this

file from my crashed hard disk. Read it guys. Perhaps then you can answer the question that I posed earlier on.

Hi there all!

It's un-cool to see your FM cried in class. Guess I was really too
overwhelmed with sadness at that point. Wonder if I would have done this
with another class in another year? The answer is "No!". Basically, Sec 4E3
2000 is the only class that make me feel whole again as a teacher should
feel!

I admit I have thoughts of leaving teaching. I will eventually for the sake of raising my own children. I hate to have maids. Till then, I guess I'll be
in TKGS.

Good idea to have the web-page. Hope we are able to link up to some email stuff for everyone to update their particulars there and to communicate at
that place. Hopefully someone can do that?

Really want to say that I've enjoyed teaching everybody this year. You all have made me see why I've come into teaching as a profession.

Know that it is not easy to let go of the past. But we have to let go one day when we go on to the next phase in our life. Hanging on will bring too
much grief and memories...

I once read somewhere that 'to love someone is to let that someone go so that he/she can find the happiness and that in turn will make you happy'. I've adopted that approach and would like to tell you we can learn to let go
of something dear once you have loved it; fear not of letting go as it's only when we let go then we are able to welcome new experiences and new memories into our lives and to treasure those that have gone.

Remember well, girls, that there's a long road ahead of us. We would not be sure what road to take to meet our ends; But we do know that we have to work hard and work towards what we want. You may disappoint others but never,
never disappoint yourself! Learn to take real good care of yourself, love yourself and train yourself to believe in no one but yourself! Trust not others but yourself, ok? For the world outside the world of school and academia is cruel and harsh.

Heed well of these advice. For I've come to learn these painful experiences and took a longer road to get to where I am today.

Remember to be a new-age woman - bag a degree or a higher degree and be independent! When all else fail (money, love, friendship and etc.) know that you have your qualification to get you anywhere in the world to work and
earn your own means.

Try to travel beyond Singapore. See things from a different perspective, from the other countries' point of views and then come back to Singapore to work again. You will feel that you have gained more in that sense.

'Globalise' as what Harry Lee Kuan Yew said. You will benefit.

Good luck, my lovely girls! May you succeed in whatever you do and heed the
advice well.

Your 4E3 FM

15 Oct 2000

I was really really touched by this email when I first read it.

Felt so lucky to have Ms Lee as our FM.
Felt so lucky to be surrounded by caring classmates.
Felt so lucky to be part of 4/3.

You know what? We never managed to talk about this email right? There was no chance since it was already the last day of school for us back then,

wasn't it? Tell the truth... I can't really recall the actual events that transpired that day. All I knew was that the computer lab (it WAS the computer

lab right?) was all dark so that we "couldn't see each other's tears".... something like that...

I admit I am being slightly manipulative here (God forbid I can *actually* manipulate my Sec 4/3 classmates), playing on your emotions to provoke a

reaction from you all... But sorry guys I need to know your stand here.... Am I simply wasting my time here? Posting messages, playing moderator?

So please *REACT*.

I honestly say that I myself won't actually be able to post messages here on a regular basis but being moderator I will always post a message

here.... sometimes to test the system or sometimes to also test whether I still possess my sense of humour... that's a joke guys :)
