i also officially announced to the show choir kids that i am leaving the workplace at the end of this year. i told them that i am feeling both happy and sad. happy because i feel a bit jaded at the current workplace and i am really looking forward to a change in environment. sad because there are only two reasons that will make me hold back from leaving: the wonderful cohesive pe department, as well as the show choir cca.
so as i was relating to them my feelings, i see that some of their faces getting a bit emo already and like want to cry already.
and right after i finished my words, i asked the president and vice president of each batch to say some stuff. there were 3 batches of president and vice president present.
so to sum up:
"when i first know that you are coming in as a show choir teacher in charge, i was quite afraid. i really dunno what to expect from you. but once you came in i can feel the positive impact that you created on us." [i must have created a scary reputation as the artistic director of b2b in 2011 hahahhaha]
"what is show choir without mr tan..."
"your impact on us is like the bombing of hiroshima" [SERIOUSLY... can think of some positive impact a not??!! hiroshima bombing is negative impact leh!!!]
"thank you mr tan... you always order the best food for us to eat" [of course man, i myself is a foodie and i know that delicious food can boost your peformance level. i hate eating sucky food on performance days. especially during certain productions by ... ... i shall not say. hahahahaha. but i must say that the food during Senses was good!]
"we love you mr tan"
and i received thank you notes from 2 students.
"mr tan yy, this is a late teacher's day, early farewell and pre-wedding gift. this sums up all my gratitude for you teaching and helping me. i was shocked to hear you are leaving because what is show choir without you?! thank you for being one of the best teachers i have known this far. really, i am going to miss your drama and commitment you have for show choir. i bet everyone else too. i am going to miss you mr tan." - laila, dance captain 2015/2016
"thank you for all your contributions to show choir and the school. although i have only been in the school for 8 months, i still felt your hard work and effort for all of us. i really enjoyed talking to you and it has been a pleasure to know you. hope you like the new school and we will all miss you." - sabrina, a sec one girl who has lots of potential in show choir and can be a future student leader
