This is it..
Yesterday, 30th December 2011, Friday, marks the last day everyone will be working together.
We left Wellington on the 28th and load all the stuffs to Corporation on both 28th and 29th.
30th was the open house for the registration.

I see the faces of theirs
Tears and all the well wishes from everyone to each other
Seeing Belinda shed tears when we hugged each other goodbye.
I was very touched.
With the many conflicts and disagreements we had, we still care for each other.
A great team.. Everyone worked together.
Gaya hugged and kissed me on the cheek while being at it. How bout'that?

I am really really putting aside those 2 lazy china colleagues.
Not being racist but my chinese colleagues too have issues with them.
Even our china ex colleagues weren't lazy.
They are too lazy!
Okay, forget about them. Im free from them, aren't I?
hahaha!

On the 28th, we left Wellington at 9.30am.
Every other teacher had the chance to do the handover except me.
I was too busy with the fees and all.
I missed that chance.
The new company's teachers were already in the class but I didn't give concern on what they will think of me.
I just rushed into the class and got my things and I called ALL of my kids out.
I spoke to them and all.
Hugged.
Gave alot of advices for them to take care of themselves.

Just seeing the new teacher in the class, taking care of them, worry me alot already.
I am really afraid of what may become of them..
I've been with them for 3 years plus and I know each and everyone of them very well.
I didn't cry. I told them I wouldn't.
Until the other teachers went off, left me and my boss.
3 other students just left their CCA because they knew I was already leaving.
I saw the 3 of them running down the staircase and from afar they shouted, "Teacher Siti!!!!"
All the way.
I was too touched and I cant hold onto my tears anymore.
I hugged them and I just cried.
They saw me cry and they cried too.
Including the boys.
They ran into the toilet to hide but got out instead to bid me goodbye.
Those tears were pure.
I barely see them cry.
What more cry for me?

I am proud of them.
They have grown to be independent and strong individuals.
Grown to be leaders.
I pray they will continue to sore higher.
My bunch of kids.
My beloved bunch of kids.
Boss saw me cried and he smiled at me.
The kids begged him to let me stay but he explained that he needs me to be in charge of another centre.
They were really persistent.
Boss asked me yesterday, "Did the children contact you still? Are they still crying?"
I nodded.

I told them this before I go,
"Don't take whatever I am going to say as disgusting or embarassing. Especially the boys. I love all of you alot and definitely, I will never forget each and everyone of you. All of you has been my remedy for the past 3 years plus. Though you stressed me up, pissed me off, you kids still make me laugh when I am at my lowest. I have alot of problems of my own, that all of you do not know of. I share alot of my experiences with you to let you learn, how much pain I went through to get to where I am now. Thank you, all of you. For picking me up everytime I am extremely sad or disappointed. To make me laugh everytime I don't feel like it. You kids have the ability to soften my heart. You are like my own kids. I sent you home whenever your parents were not able to fetch you. I waited under the block with you until your parents reached to bring you home. It just shows that I am very concern of your well-being. Continue to excel in your studies. This class has been the best for the past few years. Remember, no failures. Its for your future. Thank you again. You kids are the best. "

I will miss telling stories of my life experiences as a child and a teen to them.

I will miss seeing them teasing me whenever I blushed (like those times when ex-boyfriend always passed by the school to see me. Which they will look out of the window at 5.30pm everyday to see if he will come by. They were very CUTE!!)

I will miss telling them ghost stories that just freaked them out and laughed together in the end. Rolling on the floor laughing, literally, all of us.

I will miss playing with them, creating new games and improving the old.

I will miss us teaching each other new skills. I will miss them teaching me how to skate, till I fell on my butt! And all of them just ran to me to make sure I was okay and immediately took off the skates of my feet and put on my shoes instead. Now THAT, was extremely SWEET!

I will miss them taking care of me everytime I fall sick. They remained silent and complete their work on their own whenever I feel asleep because of Fever or Flu or Headache. Taking a cup of hot water for me whenever I have period cramps. My period cramps are awful. It is to the extend I will turn pale and just cannot feel my legs.

I will miss telling jokes to each other and making them laugh.

With them gone, I feel a huge lost.
They were my only remedy.
The only one.
They are the ones that I can tell that I am sad or angry.
Though they do not the situation at all, they still listen to what I have to say and they still manage to perk me up.
The power of kids.
I will miss doing alot of things with them.
Teaching them how to play soccer and basketball. ^^
Teaching them how to play the guitar, dance and sing.
All of my interest and my skills, they have got the basics of it.
I have alot to type about.
I do think I have not enough time to do it.

To sum it all up,
My 2001 babies, I love you alot and I will definitely miss you.
You are my first students and the most cherished.
I do not and will never regret protecting all of you, making time to make sure you're safe.
Thank you so so much for the best birthday celebration ever!
You were extremely sweet!
Please please take care of yourselves.
Teacher Siti will confirm a date to meet you at least twice a year.
May all of you grow to be dependable, reliable, strong and independent people.
You've made me proud.
:')

Don't be surprised if they know that I was extremely devastated when I broke up with him.
I didn't show any sign of it but they just came to know.
Since the day I fell sick, to the 3 weeks I didn't attend work because of my illness, they took good care of me..
Always cautious whenever my head hurts.
