A Journey to reckon with ...

You came as a knight in bright valour and shining armour, but now the time has come for you to move on. Deeply missed by all of us, though we tried not to shed any tears. We tried to contain the tears, but soon we realize those drops of pearls were merely pearls of blessings as you venture forth in your future undertakings. Thus, we send you forth with showers and blessings, whether in tears, handshakes, smiles, presents, memoirs, etc. I'm glad you pass by my life, not as a stranger, but a friend, a mentor with a Father's heart.


Deeply treasured now are the memories of humours and laughters you have left behind the concrete infrastructure dominated by young generations of leaders in the making. As life moves on, I truly hope we will meet again, somewhere to encourage and be encouraged. As I grow, I learn that our lives must and should be blessings to others. We have taken so much from the society, now is the time to contribute back to the society. Life in the concrete jungle out there is tough, yes, very challenging, but also very rewarding. Once we finally able to equate concrete jungle with university of society, we will also find treasures contained in jars, fragile jars. Behind each smiling faces, one will truly recognize there may be hidden agony, that only love could heal, soothe and comfort.


A journey I want to reckon with, a life that I would like to model ... I just want to say 'Thank you'. Thank you for showing me the way to love, to correct and to educate. My prayer is that we will all have the Father's heart to care and nurture these little ones. Adieu Mr Chan!!
