Just got this message from Nadine who graduated from Serangoon Sec in 2010 and is now studying in California:
I'm just writing a message because I found myself explaining to my bro meanders and oxbow lakes. I'm pretty sure I have forgotten almost everything I've learned because I haven't been in school for a while and I'm surprised I was able to teach him that and other things too about the natural vegetation. Anyway it's been a year and I just wanna say that you've been one of the kindest teachers I've met and thanks for the patience you showed me. I know I wasn't the easiest student before because I was so distracted. So thanks for always cheering me on.
Got another similar message via SMS from Junming earlier this year during teachers'day but it was in Chinese.
I am glad that they have appreciated what they have learned in Geography - just like what I have told them - Geography is all around you and that Geography is everything!
It was the school's graduation ceremony yesterday and I must say I was pretty touched by the appreciation shown by the students - will definitely miss them!
Xinyi from 4ED drew this for me
Saw a blog posting from another former student, Alvin(Hougang Sec), and I must say I was pretty touched by what he had posted and heartening to know that I had made the difference in his life:
Met 2 great teachers , Mdm Ng Ai Khim and Mrs Lily Lee.
They were really great teachers, and also the only teachers that I've respected that year.
I'm in debt to Mrs Lily Lee. She's the one that pushed my failed score to a pass.
A result of 50.1/100 , Thank you.

Another former student of mine, Lee Kiang (Hougang Sec), came to my present school to give me this today:
She had just came back from her interview in Shanghai for the future global talent graduate program and I am so happy for her that she was selected. I had written the character reference letter for her and I must say she had been one of my most committed and diligent Geography student.
To every one of my students - we will continue to be your teacher in life and take pride in your success. All the best to my students who have just graduated again! Your attitude will determine your altittude - continue to learn and you will find Geography all around you!
